Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide fixation device, and more particularly to a technology for a carbon dioxide fixation device used in a compressed air pressure circuit. [Background technology]
[0002] Conventionally, the main method for recovering carbon dioxide from compressed air has been to adsorb it using a special filter or the like. However, with regard to processing after carbon dioxide absorption, it is difficult for general businesses to extract carbon dioxide from the filter, so after retrieving the filter, it is necessary to incinerate it in an incinerator equipped with carbon dioxide emission absorption equipment. Currently, there are few incinerators equipped with such facilities, and if waste is incinerated in a general incinerator, the carbon dioxide that has been absorbed is released into the atmosphere. Therefore, there was a need for a technology that could easily immobilize carbon dioxide in compressed air.
[0003] To address these problems, various techniques have been proposed, such as a carbon dioxide gas recovery device (see Patent Document 1), which has become a publicly known technique. More specifically, this is a device that can absorb and recover carbon dioxide gas efficiently and in an energy-efficient manner, and is a technology that includes a reaction tank with a built-in shower nozzle for calcium hydroxide aqueous solution that is placed above the intake port for exhaust gas containing carbon dioxide gas, and a recovery tank that recovers a treatment liquid containing calcium carbonate from the bottom of the reaction tank. However, this carbon dioxide capture device is large-scale and is not intended for compressed air, so the above problems are not resolved. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0017] The carbon dioxide fixation device 1 fixes carbon dioxide in a compressed air pressure circuit. Roughly speaking, part of the air in the compressed air pressure circuit is extracted and mixed with calcium hydroxide solution 92 in a polyethylene container 70, causing the carbon dioxide in the air to react with calcium hydroxide 90, resulting in calcium carbonate 93, which fixes the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide fixation device 1 is composed of a joint part 10 , a cap part 20 and a pipe part 30 . One end of the joint portion 10 is connected to a tube 84 from a compressed air circuit 80 , and the other end is connected to one end of the pipe portion 30 . The joint portion 10 is a portion that guides the air in the tube 84 into the polyethylene container 70 and also a portion that regulates the flow rate of the air 94 . The joint section 10 is composed of an orifice joint 11 and a partition joint 15 .
[0018] The orifice joint 11 forms the upper part of the joint part 10 and includes an orifice 12. It also has a one-touch joint structure 13 at the top and a male thread part 14 at the bottom. The orifice 12 is a hole with a diameter of approximately 0.1 mm. When air in the compressed air pressure circuit is drawn into the polyethylene container 70, if highly compressed air at approximately 0.7 MPa is directly introduced into the polyethylene container 70, the force of the air ejection will be too great and it will not mix well with the calcium hydroxide solution 92. Therefore, the orifice 12 is provided as a pressure-limiting hole to allow air with an appropriately regulated flow rate to enter the polyethylene container 70. By providing the orifice 12 with a diameter of approximately 0.1 mm, the air entering the polyethylene container 70 will be approximately 1 L / min. This prevents the air from becoming unruly within the polyethylene container 70 and ensures an appropriate flow rate for mixing the air 94 and calcium hydroxide solution 92. If the air is in a controlled compressed air circuit, it will not become clogged with dirt or dust, even if it is 0.1 mm in diameter. The one-touch joint structure 13 at the top of the orifice joint 11 allows the tube to be fixed simply by inserting it. Also, the tube can be separated with a simple operation. In this embodiment, it is conceivable that a plurality of polyethylene containers 70 may be replaced, so it is efficient if the tube 84 of the compressed air pressure circuit 80 can be easily connected and disconnected. The orifice joint 11 has a male threaded portion 14 at the bottom, which is connected to a female threaded portion 17 of the partition joint 15 .
[0019] The partition joint 15, together with the cap portion 20, covers the opening 71 of the polyethylene container 70, is for isolating the inside of the polyethylene container 70 from the outside. The partition joint 15 has a female threaded portion 17 at the top and a one-touch joint structure 16 at the bottom. In the middle is a threaded portion 18 for fixing the cap. The female threaded portion 17 is used to fix the partition joint 15 and the orifice joint 11. The one-touch joint structure 16 is used to connect the pipe portion 30 to the partition joint 15. By providing the one-touch joint structure 16, the pipe portion 30 can be fixed and connected simply by inserting it into the one-touch joint structure 16, and it can also be separated with a simple operation. If the pipe portion 30 is damaged during the fixing process, it can be easily replaced, which is convenient. The cap fixing screw portion 18 is a portion for fixing the partition wall joint 15 to the cap portion 20. The joint portion 10 including the partition wall joint 15 is inserted into the joint hole 21 of the cap portion 20, and the cap fixing screw portion 18 and the nut 60 are screwed together to sandwich the cap portion 20. By sandwiching them together, the joint portion 10 and the cap portion 20 are integrated. In addition, since the bottom of the partition joint 15 will come into contact with splashes of calcium hydroxide solution 92, the partition joint 15 itself can be made resistant to alkalinity, or the bottom parts such as the one-touch joint structure 16 can be made resistant to corrosion.
[0020] The cap part 20 has a thread that can be screwed into the opening 71 of the polyethylene container 70, which is a carbon dioxide fixation container, and is a part that screws into the opening 71 of the polyethylene container 70 to fix the carbon dioxide fixation device 1 to the polyethylene container 70, which is a carbon dioxide fixation container. The cap part 20 has roughly the same shape as a normal cap for the polyethylene container 70. A joint hole 21 is opened in the center of the top surface of the cap part 20. This hole is for inserting the joint part 10. A vent hole 22 is opened near the edge of the top surface. The vent hole 22 is a hole through which the air 94 sent from the compressed air pressure circuit 80 into the polyethylene container 70 is finally exhausted. If the vent hole 22 is small, the air 94 inside the polyethylene container 70 will not be able to be exhausted, the pressure inside the polyethylene container 70 will increase, and the amount of air 94 flowing into the polyethylene container 70 will decrease. Therefore, the hole needs to be large enough to maintain the air pressure inside the polyethylene container 70 at 0.1 MPa. Measurements have shown that the air pressure inside the polyethylene container 70 can be maintained at approximately 0.1 MPa if the area of the diameter of the vent hole 22 is approximately 50 times the area of the diameter of the orifice 12. Therefore, it is preferable that the area of the diameter of the vent hole 22 is approximately 50 times the area of the diameter of the orifice 12. It is also possible to enlarge the diameter of the vent hole 22 by more than 50 times, but doing so would increase the amount of calcium hydroxide solution 92 that would leak from the polyethylene container 70 if the polyethylene container 70 were accidentally knocked over, so the vent hole 22 should not be made larger than necessary.
[0021] The pipe portion 30 is a structure for ejecting the air 94 contained in the polyethylene container 70 into the calcium hydroxide solution 92 . The tube portion 30 is an elastic tube, one end of which is connected to the one-touch joint structure 16 of the partition joint 15, and the other end of which has a nozzle 31 that is inserted into the calcium hydroxide solution 92 and releases air from the nozzle 31. Since a part of the pipe portion 30 is immersed in an alkaline solution, it is necessary to use a material that is resistant to alkali, such as polyethylene. In this embodiment, the polyethylene container 70 is the part where carbon dioxide is immobilized. This container needs to be resistant to alkalis because it stores the calcium hydroxide solution 92 for a long period of time. The polyethylene container 70 is made of polyethylene, so it is resistant to alkalis. The polyethylene container 70 is, for example, a container of about 2 L, and is available at low cost. After immobilizing the carbon dioxide, the original lid can be used as a sealing cap 72, allowing the container to be transported in a sealed state and appropriately disposed of.
[0022] The process of fixing carbon dioxide will be explained with reference to FIG. (Process 1) Prepare a commercially available polyethylene container. Clean the inside thoroughly so as not to affect the reaction of calcium hydroxide 90. It is recommended to prepare multiple polyethylene containers, as they will be replaced at regular intervals. Until use, the original cap is used as a sealing cap 72 to keep the container sealed so that foreign matter does not get inside. (Process 2) The sealing cap 72 is removed, and specified amounts of water 91 and calcium hydroxide 90 are poured into the opening 71 of the polyethylene container 70. The mixture is stirred to form a calcium hydroxide solution 92. Since calcium hydroxide 90 is difficult to dissolve in water, it is stirred sufficiently to form a calcium hydroxide solution 92.
[0023] (Step 3) The carbon dioxide fixation device 1 is inserted into the polyethylene container 70, and the threaded portion of the opening 71 is screwed onto the threaded portion of the cap portion 20. The nozzle 31 at the tip of the tube portion 30 is immersed in the calcium hydroxide solution 92. (Step 4) The tube 84 on the compressed air pressure circuit 80 side is connected to the carbon dioxide fixation device 1. Because of the one-touch joint structure 13, the connection between the tube 84 and the joint portion 10 is completed simply by inserting the tube 84 into the one-touch joint structure 13 of the orifice joint 11. The valve 83 is opened, and the air 94 in the air supply pipe 81 of the compressed air pressure circuit 80 is sent to the carbon dioxide fixation device 1 via the tube 84 . The sent air passes through the inside of the pipe portion 30 and is sprayed from the nozzle 31 into the calcium hydroxide solution 92. The carbon dioxide in the air reacts with the calcium hydroxide 90 to produce calcium carbonate 93. The calcium carbonate 93 floats in the calcium hydroxide solution 92 as a solid. Air 94 leaves calcium hydroxide solution 92, rises within polyethylene container 70, and is released into the atmosphere through vent hole 22 in cap portion 20. Therefore, it can be said that a portion of the carbon dioxide in the air 94 in the compressed air pressure circuit 80 was fixed as calcium carbonate 93 in the polyethylene container 70, thereby reducing the carbon dioxide in the air.
[0024] (Step 5) After the carbon dioxide has been immobilized for a certain period of time, the polyethylene container 70 is removed from the carbon dioxide immobilization device 1 and sealed with a sealing cap 72. Because the calcium carbonate 93 in the polyethylene container 70 is sealed, it is easy to move, and multiple polyethylene containers 70 can be easily managed. (Step 6) The polyethylene containers are collected and the calcium carbonate in the solution is recovered by a specialist company. The recovered calcium carbonate can be used as a material for concrete or resin. The carbon dioxide fixation device is connected to the piping in the compressed air pressure circuit except when it is replaced, so that it is always connected and can always fix carbon dioxide.
[0025] As described above, according to this embodiment, carbon dioxide can be immobilized in a compressed air pressure circuit by a simple method, thereby contributing to improving the global environment.
[0026] The method for immobilizing carbon dioxide using the carbon dioxide immobilization device 1 has been explained, but by changing the shape of the jetting part, it is possible to more efficiently proceed with the immobilization of carbon dioxide. A modified example will be described with reference to FIG. Instead of the pipe portion 30, a nozzle portion 40 is provided. The nozzle portion 40 has a plurality of ejection holes 43, and can agitate the calcium hydroxide solution 92 while rotating it using air pressure. 4(a) and (b), the nozzle portion 40 is elongated as a whole, and its length is roughly the same as that of the pipe portion 30. In terms of appearance, it is covered with an outer case 55, and has an inner case 50 inside thereof. The nozzle section is generally composed of an inner case 50 , an outer case 55 and a branch pipe section 41 .
[0027] The inner case 50 is made up of a connecting pipe 51, a branching portion 52, an opening portion 53, and an O-ring fixing groove 54. The inner case 50 is made entirely of hard resin. The connecting pipe 51 is a pipe portion that connects the nozzle portion 40 to the joint portion 10. As in the case of the pipe portion 30, the end portion is inserted into the one-touch joint structure 16 of the bulkhead joint 15, thereby connecting and fixing to the joint portion 10. Branching portion 52 is a space created inside inner case 50 as an extension of connecting pipe 51. Branching portion 52 has two holes at the bottom, and two branch pipe portions 41 are connected to these holes. An opening 53 is provided in the lower part of the inner case 50 to guide the branch pipe 41 to the outside. The branch pipe portion 41 passes through the opening 53 and comes out to the outside. An O-ring fixing groove 54 for placing an O-ring 61 is provided in the upper part of the inner case 50. The O-ring 61 is used to align the position of the O-ring fixing groove 54 of the inner case 50 with the position of the first groove portion 57 or the second groove portion 58 of the outer case 55 and to maintain this state.
[0028] The outer case 55 is a part that adjusts the degree of expansion of the branch pipe portion 41. The outer case 55 is made up of an opening 56, a first groove 57, a second groove 58, and a pipe position restricting portion 59. As shown in Figures 4(a) and (b), it has a shape that covers the entire nozzle portion 40. From the outside, it has an opening 56 at the bottom, from which the branch pipe portion 41 protrudes. The bottom portion is the pipe position restricting portion 59, which contacts the bent portion 42 of the branch pipe portion 41 to adjust the opening degree of the branch portion 52. A first groove 57 and a second groove 58 are provided on the inside of the upper part of the outer case 55. The outer case 55 is fixed so that the first groove 57 or the second groove 58 is located at the position of the O-ring fixing groove 54 of the inner case 50. In the nozzle section 40, the air from the joint section is branched and jetted from the jet holes 43 of the two branch pipe sections 41. The branch pipe section 41 is connected to the branch section 52 of the inner case 50 and is a pipe that extends out from the lower part of the inner case 50. It is made of the same material as the pipe section 30. The branch pipe section 41 is made up of two sections and is thinner than the pipe section 30. The bent portions 42 at the ends of the branch pipes are bent in directions away from each other, and the nozzle holes 43 of the two branch pipes 41 are positioned so as to stir the calcium hydroxide solution 92, which is the liquid in the container, in the same direction.
[0029] The effect of the jet holes 43 will be described with reference to FIG. 4(c). The positions of the nozzle holes 43 of the branch pipe portion 41 are symmetrical with respect to the center point when the nozzle portion 40 is viewed from above. Therefore, the air 94 coming out of the nozzle holes 43 rotates clockwise on the paper around the axis. In accordance with the flow of the air 94, the calcium hydroxide solution 92 as a whole also flows clockwise, creating an overall flow and enhancing the stirring effect.
[0030] 4(d) and (e), the movement of the nozzle portion 40 will be described. As mentioned above, the stirring effect can be improved by widening the ejection holes 43 of the branch pipe portion 41, but when inserting the nozzle portion 40 into the polyethylene container 70, the area around the ejection holes 43 gets caught, making it difficult to insert the nozzle portion 40 into the polyethylene container 70. Therefore, when the nozzle portion 40 is inserted into the polyethylene container 70, the bent portion 42, which is the branch pipe portion 41 near the nozzle hole 43, is closed, and after the insertion is completed, the bent portion 42 is opened. To close the branch pipe 41, the outer case 55 is lowered relative to the inner case 50, as shown in Figure 4(d). The bent portion 42 of the branch pipe 41 comes into contact with the edge of the opening 56 of the outer case 55 and closes. The bent portion 42 closes until it comes into contact with the pipe position restricting portion 59. By achieving this state, the nozzle portion 40 can be easily inserted into the opening 71 of the polyethylene container 70. The O-ring 61 is pressed against the first groove portion 57, so this state is maintained. To open the branch pipe 41, the outer case 55 is raised relative to the inner case 50, as shown in Figure 4(e). The bent portion 42 of the branch pipe 41 comes into contact with the pipe position restricting portion 59 of the outer case 55 and begins to open. By achieving this state, the bent portion 42 opens, enhancing the stirring effect. The O-ring 61 is pressed against the second groove portion 58, so this state is maintained.
[0031] Thus, the carbon dioxide fixation device according to the present invention can fix carbon dioxide in a compressed air pressure circuit in a simple manner, thereby contributing to improving the global environment.
[0032] Furthermore, by using polyethylene containers, they can be easily procured and carbon dioxide fixation devices can be utilized.
[0033] Furthermore, by adjusting the flow rate of air to the carbon dioxide fixation device using the orifice, the calcium hydroxide solution 92 and air can be efficiently agitated.
[0034] Furthermore, by making the cross-sectional area of the vent hole approximately 50 times that of the orifice, carbon dioxide can be stably fixed without increasing the pressure inside the container, and the amount of leakage can be reduced even if the container falls over.
[0035] Furthermore, by using the branch pipe portion, the stirring efficiency can be improved. [Industrial Applicability]
[0036] The carbon dioxide fixation device according to the present invention is considered to have great industrial applicability as a technology that can easily fix carbon dioxide in a compressed air pressure circuit. [Explanation of symbols]
