Abstract
Description
[Technical Field]
[0001] This invention relates to a method for regenerating an acid gas adsorption device and a method for manufacturing an acid gas adsorption device. [Background technology]
[0002] In recent years, efforts have been made to separate and recover acidic gases contained in the atmosphere in order to reduce environmental impact. One example of such acidic gas is carbon dioxide (hereinafter sometimes referred to as CO2), which is a major cause of global warming. A representative example of such efforts is the Carbon dioxide Capture, Utilization and Storage (CCUS) cycle. As a carbon dioxide adsorption device used for such carbon dioxide separation and recovery, a CO2 capture absorption structure has been proposed, comprising a honeycomb substrate having multiple partition walls that form multiple flow channels, and functional structural units arranged in and on the partition walls (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Such a CO2 capture absorption structure can capture CO2 from the gaseous fluid flowing through the absorption structure, and the captured CO2 can be desorbed under predetermined conditions. However, when the CO2 capture absorption structure described in Patent Document 1 is repeatedly used to adsorb and desorb CO2 contained in the atmosphere, the CO2 recovery rate may gradually decrease due to impurities in the atmosphere and repeated heat treatment. In this case, the entire CO2 capture absorption structure needs to be replaced, which leads to increased running costs. [Prior art documents] [Patent Documents]
[0003] [Patent Document 1] International Publication No. 2013 / 119929 [Overview of the Initiative] [Problems that the invention aims to solve]
[0004] The main objective of the present invention is to provide a method for regenerating an acidic gas adsorption device and a method for manufacturing an acidic gas adsorption device that can reduce running costs. [Means for solving the problem]
[0005] [1] A method for regenerating an acid gas adsorption apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes: supplying an acid gas to an acid gas adsorption apparatus comprising a substrate and an acid gas adsorption layer disposed on the surface of the substrate, which includes an acid gas adsorption material, so as to bring the acid gas into contact with the acid gas adsorption layer, thereby adsorbing the acid gas onto the acid gas adsorption material; desorbing the acid gas from the acid gas adsorption material; crushing the acid gas adsorption apparatus, which has undergone the steps of adsorbing the acid gas and desorbing the acid gas, to obtain a regenerated material powder; forming a substrate from the regenerated material powder, and forming an acid gas adsorption layer containing an acid gas adsorption material on the surface of the substrate. [2] In the regeneration method for the acid gas adsorption apparatus described in [1] above, the acid gas may be carbon dioxide. [3] In the regeneration method for the acid gas adsorption apparatus described in [1] or [2] above, the substrate may be a honeycomb substrate having partitions defining a plurality of cells, and the acid gas adsorption layer may be formed on the surface of the partitions. [4] In the regeneration method for an acid gas adsorption apparatus described in any of [1] to [3] above, the material constituting the substrate is selected from cordierite, alumina, mullite, silicon carbide, silicon-silicon carbide composite material, silicon nitride, or a combination thereof. [5] In the method for regenerating an acid gas adsorption apparatus described in any of [1] to [4] above, the acid gas adsorbent is selected from nitrogen-containing compounds, organometallic structures, activated carbon, nitrogen-doped carbon, alkali compounds, carbonates, bicarbonates, zeolites, ionic liquids, or combinations thereof. [6] In the method for regenerating an acid gas adsorption apparatus described in any of [1] to [5] above, the acid gas adsorption layer may further include a porous carrier. [7] In the method for regenerating an acid gas adsorption apparatus described in any of [1] to [6] above, the acid gas adsorption layer may include particles containing at least the acid gas adsorbent and an organic binder capable of binding the particles. The organic binder may be soluble in a non-protic polar solvent and substantially insoluble in a protic polar solvent. [8] The method for regenerating the acid gas adsorption apparatus described in [7] above may further include the steps of: contacting a regenerated material powder containing the organic binder with an aprotic polar solvent to dissolve the organic binder in the aprotic polar solvent; and adding a protic polar solvent to the organic binder solution in which the organic binder has been dissolved in the aprotic polar solvent to precipitate and recover the organic binder. In this case, an acid gas adsorption layer containing the recovered organic binder and particles containing at least the acid gas adsorbent may be formed on the surface of a substrate molded from the regenerated material powder. [9] A method for manufacturing an acid gas adsorption device according to another aspect of the present invention includes the steps of: supplying an acid gas to an acid gas adsorption device comprising a substrate and an acid gas adsorption layer disposed on the surface of the substrate, the acid gas adsorption layer containing an acid gas adsorbent, so as to bring the acid gas into contact with the acid gas adsorption layer, thereby adsorbing the acid gas onto the acid gas adsorbent; desorbing the acid gas from the acid gas adsorbent; crushing the acid gas adsorption device in which the steps of adsorbing the acid gas and desorbing the acid gas have been carried out to obtain recycled material powder; forming a substrate from the recycled material powder, and forming an acid gas adsorption layer containing an acid gas adsorbent on the surface of the substrate. [Effects of the Invention]
[0006] According to embodiments of the present invention, a method for regenerating an acidic gas adsorption device and a method for manufacturing an acidic gas adsorption device can be realized, which can reduce running costs. [Brief explanation of the drawing]
[0007] [Figure 1] Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a carbon dioxide adsorption device according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2]Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the carbon dioxide adsorption apparatus shown in Figure 1. [Figure 3] Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view of a recycled substrate molded from recycled material powder obtained by crushing the carbon dioxide adsorption device shown in Figure 1. [Modes for carrying out the invention]
[0008] Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited to these embodiments.
[0009] A. Outline of the regeneration method for acid gas adsorption devices Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of a carbon dioxide adsorption device according to one embodiment of the present invention; Figure 2 is a schematic cross-sectional view of the carbon dioxide adsorption device of Figure 1; and Figure 3 is a schematic perspective view of a recycled substrate molded from recycled material powder obtained by crushing the carbon dioxide adsorption device of Figure 1. A method for regenerating an acid gas adsorption device according to one embodiment of the present invention includes the steps of: supplying an acid gas to an acid gas adsorption device 100 comprising a base material 1 and an acid gas adsorption layer 15 disposed on the surface of the base material 1, which contains an acid gas adsorbent, so that the acid gas comes into contact with the acid gas adsorption layer 15 and adsorbs the acid gas onto the acid gas adsorbent (adsorption step); desorbing the acid gas from the acid gas adsorbent (desorption step); crushing the acid gas adsorption device 100 after the adsorption step and desorption step have been performed to obtain a regenerated material powder (crushing step); and forming a base material 1 from the regenerated material powder and forming an acid gas adsorption layer 15 containing an acid gas adsorbent on the surface of the base material 1 (reforming step). The inventors have found that the material powder obtained by pulverizing an acidic gas adsorption device in which an adsorption step and a desorption step have been carried out can be reused as it is as a raw material of a base material, and have completed the present invention. More specifically, the acidic gas adsorption device in which the adsorption step and the desorption step have been carried out is pulverized, a base material is formed from the obtained regenerated material powder, and an acidic gas adsorption layer is formed on the surface of the base material. As a result, the acidic gas adsorption device can be regenerated (manufactured) at a lower cost than when the base material is produced from new raw materials. Therefore, even if the replacement of the acidic gas adsorption device is repeated and the adsorption and desorption of the acidic gas are carried out over a long period of time, the running cost can be significantly reduced.
[0010] Examples of the acidic gas include carbon dioxide (CO2), hydrogen sulfide, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen dioxide, and hydrogen chloride. In one embodiment, the acidic gas is carbon dioxide (CO2). In this embodiment, the acidic gas adsorption device 100 is a carbon dioxide adsorption device 100, the acidic gas adsorption layer 15 is a carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15, and the acidic gas adsorbent is a carbon dioxide adsorbent. Hereinafter, the carbon dioxide adsorption device 100 as one embodiment of the acidic gas adsorption device will be described in detail.
[0011] B. Carbon Dioxide Adsorption Device As described above, the carbon dioxide adsorption device 100 includes a base material 1 and a carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15. The structure of the base material 1 is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include a honeycomb shape, a filter structure such as a filter cloth; a pellet structure, and the like. The carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15 is not particularly limited as long as it is disposed on the surface of the base material 1.
[0012] B-1. Base Material (Honeycomb-Shaped Base Material) In one embodiment, the base material 1 is a honeycomb-shaped base material 10 having a plurality of cells 14. Cell 14 extends from the first end face 1a (inflow end face) to the second end face 1b (outflow end face) of the honeycomb-shaped substrate 10 in the length direction (axial direction) of the honeycomb-shaped substrate 10 (see Fig. 2). Cell 14 has an arbitrary appropriate shape in the cross-section in the direction orthogonal to the length direction of the honeycomb-shaped substrate 10. Examples of the cross-sectional shape of the cell include a triangle, a quadrilateral, a pentagon, a polygon with six or more sides, a circle, and an ellipse. The cross-sectional shapes and sizes of the cells may all be the same, or at least some of them may be different. Among such cross-sectional shapes of the cell, preferably a hexagon and a quadrilateral are mentioned, and more preferably a square, a rectangle, or a hexagon is mentioned.
[0013] The cell density (that is, the number of cells 14 per unit area) in the cross-section in the direction orthogonal to the length direction of the honeycomb-shaped substrate can be appropriately set according to the purpose. The cell density can be, for example, 4 cells / cm 2 ~320 cells / cm 2 and can be. If the cell density is within such a range, the strength and effective GSA (geometric surface area) of the honeycomb-shaped substrate can be sufficiently ensured.
[0014] The honeycomb-shaped substrate 10 has an arbitrary appropriate shape (overall shape). Examples of the shape of the honeycomb-shaped substrate include a cylindrical shape with a circular bottom surface, an elliptical columnar shape with an elliptical bottom surface, a prismatic shape with a polygonal bottom surface, and a columnar shape with an irregular bottom surface. The honeycomb-shaped substrate 10 in the illustrated example has a cylindrical shape. The outer diameter and length of the honeycomb-shaped substrate can be appropriately set according to the purpose. Although not shown, the honeycomb-shaped substrate may have a hollow region in its central portion in the cross-section in the direction orthogonal to the length direction.
[0015] The honeycomb-shaped substrate 10 typically includes an outer peripheral wall 11 and a partition wall 13 located inside the outer peripheral wall 11. In the illustrated example, the outer peripheral wall 11 and the partition wall 13 are integrally formed. The outer peripheral wall 11 and the partition wall 13 may be separate bodies.
[0016] The outer periphery wall 11 has a cylindrical shape. The thickness of the outer periphery wall 11 can be set arbitrarily and appropriately. For example, the thickness of the outer periphery wall 11 is 0.1 mm to 10 mm.
[0017] The partition wall 13 defines multiple cells 14. More specifically, the partition wall 13 has a first partition wall 13a and a second partition wall 13b that are orthogonal to each other, and the first partition wall 13a and the second partition wall 13b define multiple cells 14. The cross-sectional shape of the cells 14 is rectangular, except for the parts where the first partition wall 13a and the second partition wall 13b are in contact with the outer periphery wall 11. Note that the configuration of the partition wall is not limited to the partition wall 13 described above. The partition wall may have a first partition wall extending in the radial direction and a second partition wall extending in the circumferential direction, and these may define multiple cells.
[0018] The thickness of the partition wall 13 can be appropriately set depending on the application of the honeycomb substrate. Typically, the thickness of the partition wall 13 is thinner than the thickness of the outer peripheral wall 11. For example, the thickness of the partition wall 13 is 0.03 mm to 0.6 mm. The thickness of the partition wall is measured, for example, by cross-sectional observation using an SEM (scanning electron microscope). If the thickness of the partition wall is within this range, the mechanical strength of the honeycomb substrate can be made sufficient, and the opening area (total area of cells in the cross-section) can be made sufficient.
[0019] The porosity of the partition wall 13 can be appropriately set depending on the purpose. The porosity of the partition wall 13 is, for example, 15% or more, preferably 20% or more, and for example, 70% or less, preferably 45% or less. The porosity can be measured, for example, by the mercury intrusion method. The density of the partition walls 13 can be appropriately set depending on the purpose. For example, their density could be 1.7 g / cm³. 3 Preferably 1.8 g / cm³ 3 That's all; for example, 2.6 g / cm³ 3 Preferably 2.8 g / cm³ 3 The following applies. Note that density can be measured, for example, by the mercury intrusion method.
[0020] Typical materials for the partition wall 13 include ceramics. Examples of ceramics include silicon carbide, silicon-silicon carbide composite materials, cordierite, mullite, alumina, silicon nitride, spinel, silicon carbide-cordierite composite materials, lithium aluminum silicate, and aluminum titanate. The materials constituting the partition wall can be used individually or in combination. Among the materials constituting the partition wall, cordierite, alumina, mullite, silicon carbide, silicon-silicon carbide composite materials, and silicon nitride are preferred, and silicon carbide and silicon-silicon carbide composite materials are preferred.
[0021] Such a honeycomb-shaped substrate 10 is typically manufactured by the following method. First, a binder and water or an organic solvent are added as needed to the material powder containing the ceramic powder described above, and the resulting mixture is kneaded to form a clay base. The clay base is then molded into a desired shape, dried, and fired as needed to produce the honeycomb-shaped substrate 10. The method for manufacturing the honeycomb-shaped substrate will be described in detail in the explanation of the reforming process in Section E.
[0022] B-2. Carbon dioxide adsorption layer In one embodiment, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15 is formed on the surface of the partition wall 13. In the honeycomb substrate 10, the gas channel 16 is formed in the portion of the cross-section of the cell 14 where the carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15 is not formed (typically the central portion). The carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15 may be formed over the entire inner surface of the partition wall 13 (i.e., surrounding the gas channel 16), as shown in the illustrated example, or it may be formed on a part of the surface of the partition wall. If the carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15 is formed over the entire inner surface of the partition wall 13, the CO2 removal efficiency can be improved.
[0023] The gas flow path 16 extends from the first end face 1a (inlet end face) to the second end face 1b (outlet end face), similar to the cell 14. The cross-sectional shape of the gas flow path 16 can be the same as that of the cell 14 described above, preferably a hexagon or quadrilateral, and more preferably a square, rectangle, or hexagon. The cross-sectional shape and size of the gas flow path 16 may all be the same, or at least some may differ.
[0024] The thickness of the carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15 is not particularly limited, but is, for example, 10 μm or more, preferably 50 μm or more, and for example, 1000 μm or less, preferably 500 μm or less.
[0025] B-2-1. Carbon dioxide adsorption layer made of carbon dioxide adsorbent material The carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15 contains a carbon dioxide adsorbent as an example of an acidic gas adsorbent. In one embodiment, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer consists of a carbon dioxide adsorbent and is directly supported on the partition wall and facing the gas flow path.
[0026] As the carbon dioxide adsorbent, any suitable compound capable of adsorbing and desorbing CO2 can be used. Examples of carbon dioxide adsorbents include nitrogen-containing compounds (described later); alkali compounds such as sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide; carbonates such as calcium carbonate and potassium carbonate; bicarbonates such as calcium bicarbonate and potassium bicarbonate; organometallic structures (MOFs) such as MOF-74, MOF-200, and MOF-210; zeolites; activated carbon; nitrogen-doped carbon; and ionic liquids.
[0027] Among carbon dioxide adsorbents, nitrogen-containing compounds are more preferably used. More specifically, nitrogen-containing compounds include amine compounds such as monoethanolamine, diethanolamine, triethanolamine, N-(3-aminopropyl)diethanolamine, aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, polyvinylamine, methyldiethylamine, and tetraethylenepentamine; piperazine compounds such as 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)piperazine; aminosilane coupling agents such as polyethyleneimine-trimethoxysilane, aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, and N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl-trimethoxysilane; organic polymers having primary to tertiary amino groups such as polyethyleneimine, polyamidoamine, and polystyrene with amino groups; organic monomers having primary to tertiary amino groups such as ethyleneimine and styrene with amino groups; and organic / inorganic compounds with amino groups as substituents. Carbon dioxide adsorbents can be used alone or in combination.
[0028] In this embodiment, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer substantially contains no components other than the carbon dioxide adsorbent. When the carbon dioxide adsorption layer consists of a carbon dioxide adsorbent, the content ratio of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is typically 95.0% by mass or more and 100% by mass or less. When the content ratio of the carbon dioxide adsorbent is within the above range, an excellent CO2 recovery rate can be stably ensured.
[0029] The carbon dioxide adsorption layer may contain an ionic liquid. In this case, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer preferably contains an ionic liquid and a carbon dioxide adsorbent other than the ionic liquid (hereinafter referred to as "other carbon dioxide adsorbent"). The ionic liquid typically coats the other carbon dioxide adsorbent (for example, a nitrogen-containing compound). This improves the performance and extends the lifespan of the carbon dioxide adsorbent.
[0030] Ionic liquids are liquid "salts" composed solely of ions (anions and cations), and are in a liquid state at room temperature and pressure (23°C, 0.1 MPa). Examples of cations in ionic liquids include ammonium-based ions such as imidazolium salts and pyridinium salts, phosphonium ions, sulfonium salts, and inorganic ions. Examples of anions in ionic liquids include halogen-based ions such as bromide ions and triflate; boron-based ions such as tetraphenylborate; phosphorus-based ions such as hexafluorophosphate; and sulfur-based ions such as alkyl sulfonates. Such ionic liquids can be used individually or in combination. Among ionic liquids, a combination of imidazolium salts as cations and triflate as anion is preferred.
[0031] The content ratio of the ionic liquid is, for example, 0.000001 parts by mass or more, preferably 0.00001 parts by mass or more, and for example, 0.1 parts by mass or less, preferably 0.05 parts by mass or less, per 1 part by mass of the other carbon dioxide adsorbent. When the content ratio of the ionic liquid is within the above range, the performance of the carbon dioxide adsorbent and its lifespan can be stably improved and extended.
[0032] B-2-2. Carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing carbon dioxide adsorbent and porous material In one embodiment, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer further includes a porous carrier in addition to the carbon dioxide adsorbent described above. In this case, the carbon dioxide adsorbent is typically supported on the porous carrier and faces the gas channel. Including a porous carrier in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer can suppress the detachment of the carbon dioxide adsorbent from the carbon dioxide adsorption layer during the adsorption and / or desorption process.
[0033] The porous support can form mesopores in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer. Examples of the porous support include metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) such as MOF-74, MOF-200, and MOF-210; activated carbon; nitrogen-doped carbon; mesoporous silica; mesoporous alumina; zeolite; and carbon nanotubes. Preferably, metal-organic frameworks (MOFs), activated carbon, zeolite, mesoporous silica, and mesoporous alumina are mentioned. The porous support can be used alone or in combination. Preferably, a material different from the carbon dioxide adsorbent is employed as the porous support.
[0034] The BET specific surface area of the porous support is, for example, 50 m 2 / g or more, preferably 500 m 2 / g or more. If the surface area of the porous support is at least the above lower limit, the carbon dioxide adsorbent can be stably supported, and the CO2 recovery rate can be improved. The upper limit of the BET specific surface area of the porous support is typically 2000 m 2 / g or less.
[0035] When the carbon dioxide adsorption layer contains a carbon dioxide adsorbent and a porous support, the total content ratio of the carbon dioxide adsorbent and the porous support in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is, for example, 30% by mass or more, preferably 50% by mass or more, and for example, 100% by mass or less, preferably 99% by mass or less. In the present embodiment, the content ratio of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is, for example, 30% by mass or more, preferably 50% by mass or more, and for example, 99% by mass or less. The content ratio of the porous support in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is, for example, 0.1% by mass or more, preferably 10% by mass or more, and for example, 70% by mass or less, preferably 50% by mass or less. Also, the content ratio of the porous support is, for example, 0.01 part by mass or more, preferably 0.3 part by mass or more, and for example, 0.7 part by mass or less, preferably 0.5 part by mass or less, relative to 1 part by mass of the carbon dioxide adsorbent. When the content ratio of the porous support is within the above range, the carbon dioxide adsorbent can be more stably supported.
[0036] These carbon dioxide adsorption layers are typically prepared by the following method: A solution of the carbon dioxide adsorbent is prepared by dissolving the carbon dioxide adsorbent in a solvent. If necessary, the porous carrier described above is added to the solvent. The order in which the carbon dioxide adsorbent and the porous carrier are added is not particularly limited. After that, the carbon dioxide adsorbent solution is applied to the substrate (specifically, the partition wall), the coating is dried, and if necessary, sintered to form the carbon dioxide adsorption layer. Alternatively, a dispersion containing a carbon dioxide adsorbent other than an ionic liquid and a porous support is applied to the substrate, the coating is dried, and if necessary, sintered, and then only the ionic liquid is applied to the substrate to form a carbon dioxide adsorption layer.
[0037] The method for producing a carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing a carbon dioxide adsorbent and a porous carrier is not limited to the above. For example, a dispersion of the porous carrier can be prepared by dispersing the porous carrier in a dispersion medium, and the dispersion can be applied to a substrate. After drying the coating, the film can be sintered to form a carrier-containing film. Then, a liquid carbon dioxide adsorbent or a solution of the carbon dioxide adsorbent can be applied to the carrier-containing film at room temperature and pressure. As a result, the carbon dioxide adsorbent can penetrate and be supported by the porous carrier of the carrier-containing film, forming a carbon dioxide adsorption layer. The method for forming the carbon dioxide adsorption layer will be described in detail in the explanation of the reformation process in Section E.
[0038] B-2-3. Carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing carbon dioxide adsorption particles and organic binder In another embodiment, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer includes particles containing at least the carbon dioxide adsorbent described above, and an organic binder. The particles containing the carbon dioxide adsorbent have carbon dioxide adsorption capacity and will be referred to as carbon dioxide adsorption particles below. The organic binder can bind the carbon dioxide adsorption particles and typically adheres to the substrate. The organic binder is soluble in aprotic polar solvents and substantially insoluble in protic polar solvents. That is, the organic binder is resistant to water, which is a protic polar solvent. Because the organic binder is substantially insoluble in protic polar solvents and is water resistant, swelling of the organic binder due to, for example, water vapor in the atmosphere can be suppressed. Therefore, volume expansion and / or decrease in strength of the organic binder can be suppressed, and consequently, changes in the structure by which the organic binder binds and holds the carbon dioxide adsorption particles can be suppressed. As a result, excellent carbon dioxide adsorption capacity can be maintained regardless of the usage environment.
[0039] The surface of the carbon dioxide adsorption layer opposite the substrate preferably has a three-dimensional network structure or a porous lamellar structure. This allows for efficient diffusion of acidic gases such as carbon dioxide from the surface to the interior of the carbon dioxide adsorption layer. In particular, since the organic binder is water-resistant, such a fine structure can be stably maintained on surfaces that come into contact with acidic gases, regardless of the usage environment.
[0040] The carbon dioxide adsorption particles are typically in a solid state at room temperature and pressure (23°C, 0.1 MPa). The carbon dioxide adsorption layer contains multiple carbon dioxide adsorption particles. The carbon dioxide adsorption particles, when contained in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer, may be primary particles or secondary particles formed by the aggregation of multiple primary particles.
[0041] In one embodiment, carbon dioxide adsorbent particles include the carbon dioxide adsorbent described above and a carrier supporting the carbon dioxide adsorbent. However, carbon dioxide adsorbent particles may consist only of the carbon dioxide adsorbent and may not include a carrier. In other words, acidic gas adsorbent particles can also consist only of a solid carbon dioxide adsorbent at room temperature and pressure.
[0042] Among the carbon dioxide adsorbents contained in the carbon dioxide adsorption particles, preferably, the nitrogen-containing compounds described above are included, and more preferably, the organic monomers having primary to tertiary amino groups described above, and the organic polymers having primary to tertiary amino groups described above. The weight-average molecular weight M of the organic polymer w (In terms of polystyrene equivalent) is, for example, 1,000 or more, preferably 50,000 or more, and for example, 1,000,000 or less, preferably 300,000 or less.
[0043] In one embodiment, the carbon dioxide adsorbent contained in the carbon dioxide adsorbent particles is substantially insoluble in protic polar solvents (typically water) and aprotic polar solvents. The solubility of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in water is, for example, 0.1 g / 100 g-H2O or less, preferably 0.05 g / 100 g-H2O or less. If the solubility of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in water is below the above upper limit, excellent water resistance can be stably imparted to the carbon dioxide adsorption device. The lower limit of the solubility of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in water is typically 0.01 g / 100 g-H2O or more. The solubility of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in aprotic polar solvent is, for example, 1 g / 100 g of aprotic polar solvent or less, preferably 0.5 g / 100 g of aprotic polar solvent or less. If the solubility of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in aprotic polar solvent is below the above upper limit, the dissolution of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in aprotic polar solvent can be suppressed during the manufacture of the carbon dioxide adsorption device. The lower limit of the solubility of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in aprotic polar solvent is typically 0.01 g / 100 g of aprotic polar solvent or more.
[0044] The solubility parameter of the carbon dioxide adsorbent is, for example, 7 or higher, preferably 8 or higher, and for example, 20 or lower, preferably 15 or lower. The solubility parameter can be calculated, for example, by the Hildebrandt method.
[0045] Any suitable carrier capable of supporting the carbon dioxide adsorbent can be used. Preferably, the carrier is the porous carrier described above. Metallic materials may also be used from the viewpoint of thermal conductivity. Examples include ferrous materials such as carbon steel and alloy steel; and non-ferrous metals and their alloys such as copper, aluminum, and nickel. In the case of metallic materials, the porous shape is not limited.
[0046] Any suitable organic compound capable of binding carbon dioxide adsorbent particles can be used as the organic binder. The organic binder is soluble in aprotic polar solvents and substantially insoluble in protic polar solvents. Examples of organic binders include fluoropolymers such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), perfluoroalkoxyalkanes (PFA), perfluoroethylene propene copolymer (FEP), and ethylene tetrafluoroethylene copolymer (ETFE); and amorphous plastics such as polyethersulfone (PES). The organic binder can be used alone or in combination. Among the organic binders, preferably, are organic binders that use water as a poor solvent (organic binders that are substantially insoluble in water), more preferably, are fluorine polymers, and even more preferably, are polyvinylidene fluoride. When the organic binder contains a fluorine polymer (polyvinylidene fluoride), excellent heat resistance and water resistance can be imparted to the carbon dioxide adsorption device.
[0047] The solubility of the organic binder in a protic polar solvent (typically water) is, for example, 0.1 g / 100 g of protic polar solvent or less, preferably 0.05 g / 100 g of protic polar solvent or less. If the solubility of the organic binder in a protic polar solvent (typically water) is below the above upper limit, excellent water resistance can be stably imparted to the acidic gas adsorption device. The lower limit of the solubility of the organic binder in a protic polar solvent (typically water) is typically 0.01 g / 100 g of H2O or more.
[0048] The solubility parameter of the organic binder is, for example, 9 or higher, preferably 10 or higher, and for example, 15 or lower, preferably 13 or lower.
[0049] The carbon dioxide adsorption layer may contain carbon dioxide adsorption particles and an organic binder, as well as any suitable additives. The total content of carbon dioxide adsorbent particles and organic binder in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is, for example, 30% by volume or more, preferably 50% by volume or more, and for example, 100% by volume or less, preferably 99% by volume or less. The volume percentage can be measured, for example, by microstructural observation or elemental analysis.
[0050] The content of carbon dioxide adsorbent particles in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is, for example, 5% by volume or more, preferably 30% by volume or more. If the content of carbon dioxide adsorbent particles is above the lower limit mentioned above, the carbon dioxide adsorption performance of the carbon dioxide adsorption device can be sufficiently ensured. The upper limit of the content of carbon dioxide adsorbent particles is typically 85% by volume or less.
[0051] The organic binder content in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is, for example, 5% by volume or more, preferably 15% by volume or more. If the organic binder content is above the lower limit mentioned above, it is possible to suppress the detachment of carbon dioxide adsorption particles from the carbon dioxide adsorption layer during the adsorption and / or desorption processes described later. The upper limit of the organic binder content is typically 70% by volume or less.
[0052] The carbon dioxide adsorption layer typically has interconnected pores. The porosity of the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is, for example, 10% to 90%, preferably 10% to 60%, and more preferably 15% to 40%.
[0053] A carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing carbon dioxide adsorption particles and an organic binder can typically be prepared by the following method. First, the organic binder is dissolved in an aprotic polar solvent to prepare a binder solution. The carbon dioxide adsorption particles are then dispersed in the binder solution. The binder solution is then applied to the surface of a substrate to form a precursor film. The aprotic polar solvent contained in the precursor film is replaced with a poor solvent for the organic binder to form a carbon dioxide adsorption layer. The method for forming the carbon dioxide adsorption layer will be described in detail in the reformation step in section E.
[0054] Furthermore, the method for producing a carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing carbon dioxide adsorption particles and an organic binder is not limited to the above. For example, the above-mentioned porous carrier may be dispersed in the above-mentioned binder solution as a dispersion medium, the binder solution may be applied to the surface of a substrate to form a precursor film, the aprotic polar solvent contained in the precursor film may be replaced with a poor solvent for the organic binder to form a carrier-containing film containing the porous carrier and the organic binder, and then the carbon dioxide adsorbent may be supported on the porous carrier contained in the carrier-containing film to form a carbon dioxide adsorption layer.
[0055] Such a carbon dioxide adsorption device 100 may be provided in a carbon dioxide adsorption facility, although it is not shown. In one embodiment, the carbon dioxide adsorption facility includes: a plurality of carbon dioxide adsorption devices; a fan for supplying a gas containing CO2 (CO2-containing gas) to a carbon dioxide adsorption layer; and a pump for sucking up the CO2 released from the carbon dioxide adsorption layer.
[0056] C. Adsorption and Desorption Processes As described above, a method for regenerating a carbon dioxide adsorption device according to one embodiment includes an adsorption step of adsorbing CO2 onto the carbon dioxide adsorbent material provided in the carbon dioxide adsorption device 100; and a desorption step of desorbing CO2 from the carbon dioxide adsorbent material.
[0057] In the adsorption process, a CO2-containing gas is typically circulated through the gas channel 16 to bring the CO2 into contact with the carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15. The CO2-containing gas typically contains nitrogen in addition to CO2. In one embodiment, the CO2-containing gas is air (atmosphere). The CO2 concentration in the CO2-containing gas is, for example, 100 ppm or more and 2 volume percent or less. The temperature of the CO2-containing gas in the adsorption process is, for example, 0°C or more and 40°C or less. The pressure of the CO2-containing gas in the adsorption process is, for example, 0.3 × 10⁻⁶ 5 Pa or more 2.0×10 5 The pressure is below Pa. The relative humidity (RH) of the CO2-containing gas in the adsorption process is, for example, between 10%RH and 60%RH. The duration of the adsorption process is, for example, between 15 minutes and 3 hours. The flow rate of the CO2-containing gas in the adsorption process is, for example, between 0.5 m / sec and 5 m / sec.
[0058] As a result, the carbon dioxide adsorbent facing the gas channel 16 adsorbs CO2. The CO2 recovery rate in the adsorption process (= 100 - (CO2 concentration in the gas that has passed through the gas channel / CO2 concentration in the gas before it enters the gas channel × 100)) is, for example, 80% or more, preferably 85% or more, more preferably 90% or more, and for example, 100% or less.
[0059] The desorption process (sometimes called the desorption process) is carried out after the adsorption process. Typically, in the desorption process, the carbon dioxide adsorption device is heated and the detached CO2 is collected by sucking it up with a pump, or the collected CO2 is injected back into the carbon dioxide adsorption device, heated, and the detached CO2 is collected again. The temperature during the desorption process is, for example, above 40°C, preferably above 70°C, and for example below 200°C, preferably below 110°C. The duration of the desorption process is, for example, between 1 minute and 1 hour. As a result, the CO2 held by the carbon dioxide adsorbent is detached (released, desorbed) from the adsorbent. Therefore, the CO2 can be recovered and used for various applications (e.g., methanation).
[0060] These adsorption and desorption steps are preferably performed repeatedly. In one embodiment, the cycle of the adsorption and desorption steps is performed, for example, 10 or more times, preferably 30 or more times, more preferably 50 or more times, and even more preferably 100 or more times.
[0061] D. Grinding process In one embodiment, the grinding step is performed after the adsorption and desorption steps have been carried out (preferably after the adsorption and desorption cycles have been performed within the above range). Alternatively, the grinding step may be performed after the CO2 recovery rate in the adsorption step falls below the above lower limit.
[0062] In the grinding process, the carbon dioxide adsorption device 100, which has undergone the adsorption and desorption processes, is ground. The grinding method for the carbon dioxide adsorption device can be any suitable method depending on the material of the substrate. Examples of grinding methods include hammer mills, roller mills, jet mills, and ball mills.
[0063] This process yields recycled material powder. The recycled material powder contains components derived from the substrate (e.g., ceramic powder) and components derived from the carbon dioxide adsorption layer (e.g., carbon dioxide adsorbent, porous carrier, organic binder). The particle size of the recycled material powder is, for example, 0.1 μm or more, preferably 1.0 μm or more, and for example, 500 μm or less, preferably 50 μm or less. If the particle size of the recycled material powder is within the above range, a substrate (honeycomb substrate) can be stably molded from the recycled material powder.
[0064] E. Reshaping process In the reforming process, first, the recycled material powder obtained in the crushing process is mixed with a binder, water or an organic solvent, or a surfactant, pH control agent, or sintering aid, as needed. This prepares recycled clay or recycled slurry.
[0065] Examples of binders include heat-curable thickening polysaccharides and methylcellulose with heat-gelling properties, with methylcellulose being preferred. The binder can be used alone or in combination. The binder addition ratio is, for example, 0 parts by mass or more, preferably 0.1 parts by mass or more, and for example, 30 parts by mass or less, preferably 10 parts by mass or less, per 100 parts by mass of recycled material powder.
[0066] Next, as shown in Figure 3, the recycled material powder, recycled soil, or recycled slurry is molded into a desired shape (typically a honeycomb shape). Any suitable molding method can be used. Examples of molding methods include extrusion molding, freeze molding, heat molding, pressure molding, spray drying, and fluid bed granulation, with extrusion molding being preferred. Subsequently, by drying as needed, a base material 1 (hereinafter referred to as recycled base material 1R) composed of recycled material powder is produced.
[0067] The recycled substrate 1R is preferably fired after drying. This burns off the combustible components (e.g., carbon dioxide adsorbent, binder) contained in the recycled substrate. As a result, pores are formed and a high specific surface area can be expected.
[0068] The firing temperature is, for example, 1200°C or higher, preferably 1300°C or higher, and for example, 2200°C or lower, preferably 1500°C or lower. The firing time is, for example, 1 hour or more, preferably 2 hours or more, and for example, 100 hours or less, preferably 20 hours or less.
[0069] Next, a new carbon dioxide adsorption layer 15 is formed on the surface of the fabricated recycled substrate 1R (typically the partition wall 13). When forming a carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing a porous carrier, first, the porous carrier is added to a solvent and dispersed to prepare a porous carrier dispersion slurry. Examples of solvents include water, alcohols, and diols. The solvents can be used alone or in combination. Among the solvents, aqueous solvents (water and mixed solvents containing water) are preferred. The concentration of the porous carrier in the dispersed slurry is, for example, 10% by mass or more, preferably 15% by mass or more, and for example, 50% by mass or less, preferably 30% by mass or less. By adjusting the concentration of the porous carrier within the above range, a carbon dioxide adsorption layer can be stably formed on the recycled substrate.
[0070] Next, a carbon dioxide adsorbent is added to the dispersed slurry. The concentration of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in the dispersed slurry is, for example, 5% by mass or more, preferably 10% by mass or more, and for example, 30% by mass or less, preferably 20% by mass or less.
[0071] Next, a dispersion slurry containing a porous carrier and a carbon dioxide adsorbent is applied to the recycled substrate 1R (specifically, the partition wall 13) by any suitable method. In one embodiment, the dispersion is circulated within the cells 14 of the honeycomb substrate 10. This allows the dispersion to be smoothly applied to the surface of the partition wall. The number of times the dispersion slurry is applied is appropriately changed according to the thickness of the carbon dioxide adsorption layer.
[0072] Next, the recycled substrate 1R coated with the dispersed slurry liquid is heated to, for example, 50°C to 200°C to dry the coating film, and sintered as necessary. The drying time is, for example, 0.5 hours to 24 hours. If sintering is performed, it is done at, for example, 80°C to 300°C. The sintering time is, for example, 1 hour to 100 hours. As a result, a carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing a porous carrier and a carbon dioxide adsorbent is formed on the recycled substrate 1R (specifically, the partition wall 13). If the carbon dioxide adsorption layer does not contain a porous carrier, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer can be formed on the recycled substrate 1R in the same manner as described above, except that the carbon dioxide adsorbent is added to the solvent without adding a porous carrier.
[0073] In another embodiment, for example, first, the dispersion slurry liquid described above is applied to the recycled substrate 1R (specifically, the partition wall 13) in the same manner as above. Next, the coating film on the recycled substrate to which the dispersion slurry liquid has been applied is dried and then heated to, for example, 400°C to 800°C to sinter. The sintering time is, for example, 1 hour to 100 hours. This forms a carrier-containing film. Next, a liquid carbon dioxide adsorbent or a solution of a carbon dioxide adsorbent is applied to the carrier-containing film at room temperature and atmospheric pressure in the same manner as above. This causes the carbon dioxide adsorbent to permeate and be supported in the porous carrier of the carrier-containing film. This also allows a carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing a porous carrier and a carbon dioxide adsorbent to be formed on the recycled substrate 1R.
[0074] In yet another embodiment, the above-mentioned organic binder is first dissolved in an aprotic polar solvent to prepare a binder solution. The aprotic polar solvent is capable of dissolving the above-mentioned organic binder, and is insoluble in the above-mentioned carbon dioxide adsorbent particles (more specifically, carbon dioxide adsorbent).
[0075] Any suitable organic solvent can be used as the aprotic polar solvent. Examples of aprotic polar solvents include N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylacetamide (DMA), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), and tetrahydrofuran (THF). Aprotic polar solvents can be used alone or in combination. Among aprotic polar solvents, N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) is preferred. When the aprotic polar solvent contains NMP, the organic binder (especially PVDF) can be dissolved more smoothly, and the dissolution of the carbon dioxide adsorbent can be stably suppressed.
[0076] The solubility parameter distance between the organic binder and the aprotic polar solvent is, for example, 3 or less, preferably 2 or less. If the solubility parameter distance between the organic binder and the aprotic polar solvent is below the above upper limit, the organic binder can be smoothly dissolved in the aprotic polar solvent. The lower limit of the solubility parameter distance between the organic binder and the aprotic polar solvent is typically 0 or more. The solubility parameter distance between the carbon dioxide adsorbent and the aprotic polar solvent is, for example, 2 or more, preferably 3 or more, and more preferably 4 or more. If the solubility parameter distance between the carbon dioxide adsorbent and the aprotic polar solvent is above the lower limit mentioned above, the dissolution of the carbon dioxide adsorbent in the aprotic polar solvent can be suppressed. The upper limit of the solubility parameter distance between the carbon dioxide adsorbent and the aprotic polar solvent is typically 10 or less.
[0077] Next, the carbon dioxide adsorbent particles described above are added to the binder solution and dispersed.
[0078] A solution of an organic binder in an aprotic polar solvent, in which carbon dioxide adsorbing particles are dispersed (particle-dispersed binder solution), is applied to the surface of the recycled substrate 1R by any suitable method, as described above. This process coats the surface of the recycled substrate (typically the surface of the partition wall) with a particle-dispersed binder solution, forming a precursor film. The precursor film contains the carbon dioxide adsorbent particles described above, the organic binder described above, and the aprotic polar solvent described above.
[0079] Next, the aprotic polar solvent contained in the precursor film is replaced with a poor solvent for the organic binder. Poor solvents dissolve organic binders less readily than the aprotic polar solvents (good solvents) described above, and in effect, organic binders are insoluble in poor solvents. The solubility parameter distance between the organic binder and the poor solvent is typically greater than the solubility parameter distance between the organic binder and the aprotic polar solvent (good solvent). The solubility parameter distance between the organic binder and the poor solvent is, for example, 2 or more, preferably 3 or more, and more preferably 4 or more.
[0080] Examples of poor solvents include protic polar solvents such as water, ethanol, butanol, and alcohols such as isopropyl alcohol (IPA); and chlorofluorocarbons such as hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs), hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs), and hydrofluoroolefins (HFOs). Poor solvents can be used alone or in combination. Among poor solvents, water is preferred.
[0081] By substituting an aprotic polar solvent, a film stable in protic solvents can be obtained.
[0082] This allows for the formation of a carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing carbon dioxide adsorption particles and an organic binder on the surface of the recycled substrate (typically the surface of the partition wall). Subsequently, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is dried as needed.
[0083] Furthermore, the method for forming a carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing carbon dioxide adsorption particles and an organic binder is not limited to the embodiments described above. For example, first, a binder solution is prepared in the same manner as described above. Then, the porous carrier described above is added to the binder solution and dispersed.
[0084] This disperses the porous support in the binder solution, preparing a binder solution containing dispersed porous support (support-dispersed binder solution).
[0085] Next, the carrier-dispersed binder solution is applied to the surface of the recycled substrate using the application method described above. This coats the surface of the recycled substrate (typically the surface of the partition wall) with the carrier-dispersed binder solution, forming a precursor film. The precursor film contains the porous carrier described above, the organic binder described above, and the aprotic polar solvent described above.
[0086] Next, the aprotic polar solvent contained in the precursor film is replaced with the poor solvent described above. This process forms a carrier-containing film on the surface of the recycled substrate (typically the surface of the partition wall). Subsequently, the carrier-containing film is dried as needed. The carrier-containing film contains the porous carrier described above and the organic binder described above.
[0087] Next, the carbon dioxide adsorbent described above is supported on the porous carrier contained in the carrier-containing membrane. The carbon dioxide adsorbent used in this embodiment is preferably liquid at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. More specifically, the liquid carbon dioxide adsorbent is applied to the carrier-containing membrane at room temperature and atmospheric pressure using the coating method described above. As a result, the carbon dioxide adsorbent permeates and is supported on the porous carrier of the carrier-containing membrane, forming carbon dioxide adsorbent particles composed of an acidic gas adsorbent compound and a porous carrier. That is, the carbon dioxide adsorption layer is composed of carbon dioxide adsorbent particles and an organic binder. This also allows for the formation of a carbon dioxide adsorption layer containing carbon dioxide adsorption particles and an organic binder on the recycled substrate 1R.
[0088] Furthermore, organic binders recovered from recycled material powders can also be used in the carbon dioxide adsorption layer. Using organic binders recovered from recycled material powders can further reduce the manufacturing cost of carbon dioxide adsorption equipment.
[0089] When the carbon dioxide adsorption layer contains carbon dioxide adsorption particles and an organic binder, the recycled material powder obtained by crushing the carbon dioxide adsorption device contains, for example, ceramic powder derived from the substrate, carbon dioxide adsorption particles derived from the carbon dioxide adsorption layer, and an organic binder. When recovering the organic binder from the recycled material powder, the recycled material powder is brought into contact with the above-mentioned aprotic polar solvent. Typically, the recycled material powder is added to the above-mentioned aprotic polar solvent and stirred. This dissolves the organic binder contained in the recycled material powder in the aprotic polar solvent, and an organic binder solution is prepared. Note that the ceramic powder and carbon dioxide adsorption particles are substantially insoluble in the aprotic polar solvent.
[0090] Next, the ceramic powder and carbon dioxide adsorbent particles are preferably separated from the organic binder solution. One separation method is filtration. Subsequently, the aforementioned protic polar solvent (typically water) is added to the organic binder solution to precipitate the organic binder. This allows the organic binder to be recovered and reused in the reforming process. That is, in the reforming process, an acidic gas adsorption layer containing the recovered organic binder and carbon dioxide adsorption particles can be formed on the surface of the recycled substrate in the same manner as described above.
[0091] The organic binder recovered from the recycled material powder may contain carbon dioxide adsorbent particles (typically, deactivated carbon dioxide adsorbent particles) that remain after being separated from the organic binder solution by the separation method described above. When an organic binder containing a small amount of carbon dioxide adsorbent particles is used to reform the acidic gas adsorption layer, it can bond with the various materials contained in the recycled substrate (e.g., ceramic powder, porous support). Therefore, the strength of the carbon dioxide adsorption device can be improved.
[0092] As a result of the above, the carbon dioxide adsorption device 100 shown in Figure 1 is regenerated. In other words, this method for regenerating a carbon dioxide adsorption device (acid gas adsorption device) is a method for manufacturing a carbon dioxide adsorption device (acid gas adsorption device) that has a carbon dioxide adsorption layer (acid gas adsorption layer) with restored performance. The method for manufacturing a carbon dioxide adsorption device (acid gas adsorption device) includes the above-described adsorption step; the above-described desorption step; the above-described pulverization step; and the above-described reformation step. With this method for manufacturing a carbon dioxide adsorption device (acid gas adsorption device), a carbon dioxide adsorption device with excellent CO2 recovery performance (acid gas recovery performance) can be manufactured. Furthermore, the regenerated carbon dioxide adsorption device (acid gas adsorption device) may be subjected to the adsorption step and desorption step in the same manner as above, and then subjected to the pulverization step and reformation step again to be repeatedly regenerated.
