The exhaust gas treatment device 10 is mounted on the work machine 1. The exhaust gas treatment device 10 purifies exhaust gas. The exhaust gas treatment device 10 recovers at least one substance contained in the exhaust gas.

[0012] In the embodiment, the exhaust gas treatment device 10 includes a metal organic framework (MOF). The exhaust gas treatment device 10 treats exhaust gas using the metal organic framework. In the following description, the metal organic framework will be referred to as MOF as appropriate. MOF is a concept that includes porous coordination polymers (PCPs).

[0013] MOFs are complexes with a continuous structure that contain metal ions and multidentate organic molecules. MOFs are three-dimensionally continuous coordination structures with a nanoporous structure. MOFs can adsorb only specific substances through the combination of metal ions and organic molecules. When exhaust gas containing specific substances is supplied to a container containing MOFs, the specific substances are adsorbed by the MOFs.

[0014] In an embodiment, the specific substance is carbon dioxide (CO2). MOFs are capable of adsorbing carbon dioxide. The exhaust gas treatment device 10 utilizes MOFs to recover at least a portion of the carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas.

[0015] As shown in FIG. 2, the exhaust gas treatment device 10 includes an exhaust gas line 11, a cooler 12, a container compressor 13, a switching valve 14, a treatment line 15, a container 16, a pressure reducer 17, a discharge on-off valve 18, a tank line 19, a tank on-off valve 20, a tank compressor 21, a tank 22, and a pressure sensor 23.

[0016] An exhaust gas line 11 is connected to the engine 8. Exhaust gas from the engine 8 flows through the exhaust gas line 11. A cooler 12 cools the exhaust gas. The cooler 12 is arranged in the exhaust gas line 11. A container compressor 13 pressurizes the exhaust gas. The container compressor 13 is arranged in the exhaust gas line 11. The container compressor 13 pressurizes the exhaust gas cooled by the cooler 12.

[0017] The treatment line 15 is connected to the exhaust gas line 11 via a switching valve 14.

In the first state, the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas line 11 is supplied to the first container 16A, but is not supplied to the second container 16B. In the second state, the exhaust gas flowing through the exhaust gas line 11 is supplied to the second container 16B, but is not supplied to the first container 16A. An example of the switching valve 14 is a three-way valve.

[0018] The MOFs are contained in a container 16. The MOFs are contained in a first container 16A and a second container 16B.

The MOFs are disposed in the internal space of the container 16. The exhaust gas that has flowed through the treatment line 15 flows into the internal space of the container 16 and comes into contact with the MOFs. The MOFs are capable of adsorbing carbon dioxide. When the exhaust gas comes into contact with the MOFs, the carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas is adsorbed by the MOFs.

[0019] The container compressor 13 pressurizes the exhaust gas, thereby pressurizing the container 16 to which the exhaust gas is supplied. The exhaust gas pressurized by the container compressor 13 is supplied to the internal space of the container 16, whereby the internal space of the container 16 is pressurized.

[0023] The tank on-off valve 20 is disposed in the tank line 19. The tank on-off valve 20 opens and closes the tank line 19. The tank on-off valve 20 includes a first tank on-off valve 20A disposed in the first tank line 19A and a second tank on-off valve 20B disposed in the second tank line 19B.

The tank compressor 21 includes a first tank compressor 21A that pressurizes the first tank 22A and a second tank compressor 21B that pressurizes the second tank 22B.

[0024] The pressure sensor 23 detects the pressure in the container 16. The pressure sensor 23 detects the pressure in the internal space of the container 16. The container 16 includes a first pressure sensor 23A that detects the pressure in the first container 16A and a second pressure sensor 23B that detects the pressure in the second container 16B.

[0025] 3 is a block diagram showing a controller 51 of the exhaust gas treatment device 10 according to the embodiment. The exhaust gas treatment device 10 includes the controller 51. The controller 51 outputs control commands to control each of the cooler 12, the container compressor 13, the switching valve 14, the pressure reducer 17, the discharge on-off valve 18, the tank on-off valve 20, and the tank compressor 21. Detection data of the pressure sensor 23 is input to the controller 51.

[0026] The controller 51 includes a computer, and includes a processor 52, a storage device 53, and an input / output interface .

[0027] The processor 52 includes a CPU (Central Processing Unit). The processor 52 may also include a GPU (Graphics Processing Unit). The storage device 53 includes a recording medium that stores computer programs and data in a manner that allows the processor 52 to read them.

The processor 52 is connected to each of the chiller 12, the container compressor 13, the switching valve 14, the pressure reducer 17, the discharge on-off valve 18, the tank on-off valve 20, the tank compressor 21, and the pressure sensor 23 via the input / output interface 54.

[0029] [Pressure characteristics] FIG. 4 is a diagram illustrating the pressure characteristics of a MOF according to an embodiment. In the graph shown in FIG. 4, the horizontal axis represents the pressure in the internal space of the container 16 in which the MOF is housed, and the vertical axis represents the amount of CO2 adsorption by the MOF. As shown in FIG. 4, the MOF adsorbs carbon dioxide when pressurized. The MOF releases the adsorbed carbon dioxide when depressurized. The MOF adsorbs carbon dioxide when pressurized above a specified value Sh. The MOF releases carbon dioxide when depressurized below the specified value Sh. The specified value Sh is an inherent value of the MOF determined based on the characteristics of the MOF. The specified value Sh is a known value and is stored in advance in the storage device 53.

[0030] When carbon dioxide is adsorbed by the MOF, the controller 51 controls the container compressor 13 so that the pressure in the internal space of the container 16 is increased to a specified value Sh or higher. When carbon dioxide is released from the MOF, the controller 51 controls the pressure reducer 17 so that the pressure in the internal space of the container 16 is reduced to a value below the specified value Sh. The carbon dioxide released from the MOF by reducing the pressure in the container 16 is supplied to the tank 22 via the tank line 19 and stored in the tank 22. The controller 51 increases the pressure in the container 16 to a specified value Sh or higher to adsorb carbon dioxide to the MOF, and then reduces the pressure in the container 16 to a value below the specified value Sh, thereby recovering the carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas and storing it in the tank 22.

[0031] If the temperature of the MOF exceeds the upper heat resistance limit, the adsorption performance of the MOF for the substance may be reduced. If the temperature of the exhaust gas is equal to or higher than the upper heat resistance limit of the MOF, the adsorption performance of the MOF may be reduced. In the embodiment, the exhaust gas is cooled by a cooler 12. The cooler 12 cools the exhaust gas so that the temperature of the exhaust gas is equal to or lower than the upper heat resistance limit of the MOF.

[0032] [Control method] 5 and 6 are diagrams illustrating a control method for the exhaust gas treatment device 10 according to the embodiment. Fig. 5 shows a state in which the MOFs in the first container 16A adsorb carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas and the MOFs in the second container 16B release carbon dioxide. Fig. 6 shows a state in which the MOFs in the second container 16B adsorb carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas and the MOFs in the first container 16A release carbon dioxide.

[0033] As shown in FIG. 5, when carbon dioxide is adsorbed by the MOFs in the first container 16A, the controller 51 controls the switching valve 14 to enter a first state in which exhaust gas that has passed through the container compressor 13 is supplied to the first container 16A. In the first state, the controller 51 opens the first discharge on-off valve 18A and closes the first tank on-off valve 20A. In the first state, the controller 51 drives the container compressor 13 to pressurize the first container 16A to which the exhaust gas is supplied, and stops driving the first pressure reducer 17A. Based on the detection data of the first pressure sensor 23A, the controller 51 controls the container compressor 13 so that the pressure in the first container 16A is equal to or greater than the specified value Sh. By pressurizing the first container 16A, the MOFs in the first container 16A can adsorb carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas supplied to the first container 16A. The exhaust gas that has passed through the first container 16A passes through the first discharge on-off valve 18A and is then discharged into the atmosphere. Exhaust gases with reduced amounts of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere.

[0034] In the first state, the controller 51 closes the second discharge on-off valve 18B and opens the second tank on-off valve 20B. In the first state, the controller 51 drives the second pressure reducer 17B to reduce the pressure in the second container 16B. Based on the detection data of the second pressure sensor 23B, the controller 51 controls the second pressure reducer 17B so that the pressure in the second container 16B is less than the specified value Sh. By reducing the pressure in the second container 16B, carbon dioxide is released from the MOFs in the second container 16B. The carbon dioxide released from the MOFs in the second container 16B flows through the second tank line 19B and is then supplied to the second tank 22B. The controller 51 controls the second tank compressor 21B to pressurize the carbon dioxide supplied to the second tank 22B. By supplying the pressurized carbon dioxide to the internal space of the second tank 22B, the internal space of the second tank 22B is pressurized and the carbon dioxide is compressed. After the second tank 22B is sufficiently filled with compressed carbon dioxide, the controller 51 closes the second tank on-off valve 20B. By closing the second tank on-off valve 20B, the carbon dioxide is stored in the second tank 22B.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 6, when carbon dioxide is adsorbed by the MOFs in the second container 16B, the controller 51 controls the switching valve 14 to enter a second state in which the exhaust gas that has passed through the container compressor 13 is supplied to the second container 16B. In the second state, the controller 51 opens the second exhaust on-off valve 18B and closes the second tank on-off valve 20B. In the second state, the controller 51 drives the container compressor 13 to pressurize the second container 16B to which the exhaust gas is supplied and stops driving the second pressure reducer 17B. Based on the detection data of the second pressure sensor 23B, the controller 51 controls the container compressor 13 so that the pressure in the second container 16B is equal to or greater than the specified value Sh. By pressurizing the second container 16B, the MOFs in the second container 16B can adsorb carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas supplied to the second container 16B. The exhaust gas that has passed through the second container 16B passes through the second exhaust on-off valve 18B and is then discharged into the atmosphere. Exhaust gases with reduced amounts of carbon dioxide are released into the atmosphere.

[0036] In the second state, the controller 51 closes the first discharge on-off valve 18A and opens the first tank on-off valve 20A. In the second state, the controller 51 drives the first pressure reducer 17A to reduce the pressure in the first container 16A. Based on the detection data of the first pressure sensor 23A, the controller 51 controls the first pressure reducer 17A so that the pressure in the first container 16A is less than the specified value Sh. By reducing the pressure in the first container 16A, carbon dioxide is released from the MOF in the first container 16A. The carbon dioxide released from the MOF in the first container 16A flows through the first tank line 19A and is then supplied to the first tank 22A. The controller 51 controls the first tank compressor 21A to pressurize the carbon dioxide supplied to the first tank 22A. By supplying the pressurized carbon dioxide to the internal space of the first tank 22A, the internal space of the first tank 22A is pressurized and the carbon dioxide is compressed. After the first tank 22A is sufficiently filled with compressed carbon dioxide, the controller 51 closes the first tank on-off valve 20A. By closing the first tank on-off valve 20A, the carbon dioxide is stored in the first tank 22A.

[0037] A concentration sensor that detects the carbon dioxide concentration of the exhaust gas that has passed through the MOF may be disposed downstream of container 16 in treatment line 15. When switching between the first state and the second state, controller 51 may determine the timing of switching between the first state and the second state based on detection data from the concentration sensor. For example, in the first state, if it is determined based on detection data from the concentration sensor that the carbon dioxide concentration of the exhaust gas that has passed through the MOF is equal to or higher than a predetermined reference value, controller 51 may switch from the first state to the second state.

[0038] [effect] As described above, in the embodiment, the exhaust gas treatment device 10 includes a container 16 that contains an MOF capable of adsorbing carbon dioxide contained in exhaust gas, and a container compressor 13 that pressurizes the container 16 to which the exhaust gas is supplied.

[0039] According to the embodiment, carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas of the engine 8 is adsorbed by the MOF, which prevents the carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas from being emitted into the atmosphere. Because the amount of carbon dioxide emitted into the atmosphere is reduced, the work machine 1 can contribute to preventing global warming.

[0040] As explained with reference to Figure 4, MOFs adsorb carbon dioxide when pressurized and release carbon dioxide when depressurized. After carbon dioxide is adsorbed into the MOFs, the MOFs are depressurized, causing the carbon dioxide to be released from the MOFs. The carbon dioxide released from the MOFs is stored in tank 22.

[0041] The exhaust gas treatment device 10 includes a cooler 12 that cools the exhaust gas before it is supplied to the container 16. As described above, if the temperature of the exhaust gas is equal to or higher than the upper heat resistance limit of the MOF, the adsorption performance of the MOF may be reduced. The cooler 12 cools the exhaust gas so that the temperature of the exhaust gas is equal to or lower than the upper heat resistance limit of the MOF. Cooling the exhaust gas by the cooler 12 suppresses a reduction in the adsorption performance of the MOF for carbon dioxide.

[0042] In this embodiment, first container 16A and second container 16B are arranged in parallel, and switching valve 14 switches between a first state in which exhaust gas is supplied to first container 16A and a second state in which exhaust gas is supplied to second container 16B. By switching between the first and second states, for example, when the MOFs in first container 16A can no longer adsorb all the carbon dioxide, the MOFs in second container 16B can adsorb the carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas. By switching between the first and second states, exhaust gas treatment device 10 can continue to recover carbon dioxide contained in the exhaust gas.

[0043] [Other embodiments] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an exhaust gas treatment device 100 according to another embodiment. Note that components such as the switching valve 14 and the tank 22 are omitted from FIG. 7. As shown in FIG. 7, a first container 161, a second container 162, and a third container 163 may be arranged in series in the treatment line 15. The first container 161 includes a first container 161A arranged in the first treatment line 15A and a first container 161B arranged in the second treatment line 15B. The second container 162 includes a second container 162A arranged in the first treatment line 15A and a second container 162B arranged in the second treatment line 15B. The third container 163 includes a third container 163A arranged in the first treatment line 15A and a third container 163B arranged in the second treatment line 15B.

[0044] The first container 161 contains a first MOF capable of adsorbing a first substance contained in exhaust gas. The second container 162 contains a second MOF capable of adsorbing a second substance contained in exhaust gas. The third container 163 contains a third MOF capable of adsorbing a third substance contained in exhaust gas. As an example, the first substance is carbon dioxide (CO2). The second substance is carbon monoxide (CO). The third substance is nitrogen compounds (NOx).

[0045] As described above, MOFs can adsorb only specific substances by combining metal ions and organic molecules. The adsorption performance of the first MOF for a first substance is higher than that of the second MOF and the third MOF. The adsorption performance of the second MOF for a second substance is higher than that of the third MOF and the first MOF. The adsorption performance of the third MOF for a third substance is higher than that of the first MOF and the second MOF.

[0046] By arranging the first container 161, the second container 162, and the third container 163 in series, the exhaust gas processing device 100 can recover multiple types of substances contained in the exhaust gas. Therefore, the work machine 1 can contribute to preventing global warming and air pollution.

[0047] If the engine 8 can use multiple fuels, the types or proportions of substances contained in the exhaust gas may vary depending on the fuel. Examples of fuels include diesel, hydrogen, ammonia, and carbon-neutral fuels. Examples of carbon-neutral fuels include fatty acid methyl ester (FAME), hydrotreated vegetable oil (HVO), e-fuel, and gas-to-liquids (GTL) fuel. If the types or proportions of substances contained in the exhaust gas vary depending on the fuel, the MOF contained in the container 16 may be changed based on the fuel. For example, if the use of a first fuel generates exhaust gas containing a large amount of the first substance, a first MOF with high adsorption performance for the first substance may be employed, or multiple containers 16 containing the first MOF may be arranged in series. If the use of a second fuel generates exhaust gas containing a large amount of the second substance, a second MOF with high adsorption performance for the second substance may be employed, or multiple containers 16 containing the second MOF may be arranged in series.

[0048] In the example shown in FIG. 7, the content of the first MOF, the second MOF, and the third MOF arranged in the first treatment line 15A may be different from the content of the first MOF, the second MOF, and the third MOF arranged in the second treatment line 15B. A fuel sensor capable of detecting the type of carbon-neutral fuel may be provided. The fuel sensor detects the type of carbon-neutral fuel before the carbon-neutral fuel is supplied to the engine 8. The controller 51 can identify the carbon-neutral fuel supplied to the engine 8 based on the detection data of the fuel sensor. The controller 51 may determine whether the exhaust gas from the engine 8 is to flow through the first treatment line 15A or the second treatment line 15B based on the detection data of the fuel sensor.
