Description

Technology Field

[0001] This application is related to Indian patent application No. 202411078557, Indian patent application No. 202411078563, and Indian patent application No. 202411078562.

[0002] The present invention relates to the field of adsorption. More specifically, the present invention provides a contactor for the enhanced removal of carbon dioxide (CO2) and / or moisture from a stream of dry and / or wet gas. Additionally, an apparatus comprising said contactor and a method for manufacturing said contactor are provided. Background Technology

[0003] Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a major byproduct of industrial society and a primary cause of global climate change, with the combustion and disposal of fossil fuels being the main sources of CO2 generation. CO2 removal is a critical and important issue for halting and reversing global climate change. Achieving carbon neutrality is a goal for various industries both globally and regionally, essentially aiming to balance the amount of CO2 released into the atmosphere with the amount removed. This is achieved by reducing CO2 emissions or removing emitted CO2. While there are various technologies to reduce CO2 emissions, including the use of renewable energy sources such as wind and solar power, significant efforts are being made to remove emitted CO2, particularly in developing countries with high CO2 emissions due to their dependence on fossil fuels used in various industries.

[0004] There are many known CO2 removal technologies related to the concepts of physisorption and chemiosorption, some of which are based on physical adsorbents, chemical adsorbents, membranes, etc. However, many of these known technologies face various limitations such as cost, efficiency, scalability, and environmental impact. One adsorbent-based technology utilizing conventional adsorbents such as molecular sieves and activated carbon, which possess a physisorption mechanism, is economical due to its low cost, but it has various limitations such as low CO2 selectivity, low CO2 adsorption capacity, and high regeneration temperatures reaching 140–200°C. A major disadvantage of using these traditional hydrophilic adsorbents is that they prefer adsorbing water molecules over CO2 molecules because the dynamic diameters of water and CO2 molecules are similar. Meanwhile, membranes are susceptible to degradation and fouling due to the sedimentation and deposition of particles on the membrane surface and pores.

[0005] Most carbon capture devices utilize columns or beds that support adsorbents in liquid, powder, granular, or pellet form, regardless of the type of adsorbent used, namely chemical or physical adsorbents. While this allows for the utilization of a significant amount of adsorbent, the very high pressure drop, consequently high parasitic fan power, and long cycle times result in a large overall device volume, cumbersome operation, and high cost. Although this is the most common and generally used method / contactor for CO2 removal for both post-combustion and direct air capture, a significant disadvantage of this method is that the overall size of the equipment / system is very large, and due to the very long cycle times for CO2 removal / capture and desorption, as well as intermediate cooling, the amount of adsorbent used per ton of CO2 removed annually is also very large.

[0006] Cordierites are well known for their use in catalytic coatings for automotive exhaust gas control and are essentially extruded ceramic honeycombs. While they offer the advantages of a relatively higher surface area and lower pressure drop, limitations in impregnation due to their highly restricted porosity result in size constraints and restrict the amount of physisorbents / chemoadsorbents that can be coated on the surface. This leads to a very low adsorbent-to-substrate ratio, which not only limits the amount of adsorbent acting during each cycle but also results in very high heat transfer for cooling during each cycle. The problem to be solved

[0007] Recently, some new materials have garnered the attention of researchers in adsorption technology by offering significant advantages in various ways, such as high selectivity, low regeneration temperature / energy, and high capacity, which provides opportunities for the inclusion / manufacturing of new contactors.

[0008] It is necessary to improve the efficiency of the CO2 adsorption system by devising a better and improved adsorbent system suitable for enhancing capture, whether of amines or new substances, while simultaneously reducing competition between nitrogen and moisture for CO2 removal.

[0009] The present invention proposes a novel molded honeycomb contactor combined with one or more adsorbents, which can overcome the aforementioned problems and limitations that occurred when using granular materials or coated cordierite-type honeycomb structures. By using such a molded honeycomb structure, thermal stability and mechanical robustness can be secured. The total volume density of this structure is very low compared to cordierite, so the volume of the entire system can be significantly reduced. In addition, since these structures have superior impact resistance compared to ceramic cordierite, the likelihood of cracking or structural collapse during repeated adsorption-desorption cycles is significantly lower. The honeycomb design maximizes the surface area to increase mass transfer efficiency. The highly porous structure of the present invention provides space to support a sufficient amount of adsorbent (more active adsorbent per unit mass), thereby enabling the achievement of high CO2 adsorption capacity, which is also a limitation experienced when using cordierite due to its almost negligible porosity. In addition, the fibrous and porous structure contributes to the uniform dispersion of the adsorbent and strengthens the adhesion between the structure and the adsorbent, thereby reducing the likelihood of the supported adsorbent leaking out or peeling off from the structure. Since the orientation of the honeycomb channels reduces fluid flow resistance, the pressure drop per unit volume in this structure is significantly lower compared to cases using powdered, granular, or cordierite (metallic or ceramic). Furthermore, the molded honeycomb of the present invention can increase the adsorbent-to-substrate ratio up to 8:1, allowing a larger amount of adsorbent to participate in the reaction and limiting the thermal load required for cooling from the heated substrate. By supporting adsorbents such as amines, MOFs, COFs, and ZIFs on this porous structure, high CO2 adsorption capacity and selectivity, improved long-term cycle stability, and reduced energy consumption can be achieved.Therefore, these honeycomb structures are more stable, efficient, durable, and scalable, providing excellent CO2 adsorption efficiency, reaction rate, and enhanced heat and mass transfer performance.

[0010] In addition, the present invention substantially overcomes the disadvantages and limitations of a packed bed system in the following way.

[0011] a) Reduce the total cycle time relatively dramatically, by 4 to 20 times, and

[0012] b) The amount of adsorbent required to achieve the same level of CO2 removal productivity / yield can be significantly reduced proportionally on a per ton of CO2 removal basis.

[0013] c) As a much more miniaturized equipment / system, the size of the main contactor part is relatively very small, so equipment / system costs can be significantly reduced.

[0014] One of the important points when using various adsorbents in CO2 capture is that, because the kinetic diameters of water molecules and CO2 molecules are similar, the adsorbent can preferentially adsorb water molecules over CO2 molecules. Depending on the specific application, the adsorbent can be selected to preferentially adsorb one adsorbent over another.

[0015] The honeycomb contactor according to the present invention exhibits superior performance compared to all existing technologies in capturing CO2 from direct air, indoor air, or flue gas, i.e., wet and / or dry gas flows.

[0016] US2018296961 describes the manufacture of CO2 adsorbents using cordierite structures, which are generally extruded ceramic products. This method has significant limitations on the amount of adsorbent that can be coated onto the surface area of ​​a honeycomb cordierite cell. This not only limits the total amount of CO2 that can be adsorbed but also causes unnecessary heat transfer. The present invention focuses on honeycomb structures in which the substrate ratio is very small, and the active adsorbent accounts for most or more of the total volume density.

[0017] Patent No. CN117181194 describes the manufacture of amine adsorbents with a flexible planar film structure. In this method, silica and a polymer are added to a solvent to create a casting solution, which forms a film, and an amine is supported on the film through impregnation or chemical bonding. Such flexible membranes are at risk of delamination and sagging under continuous thermal cycling and airflow. The present invention is completely different from this by using a honeycomb structure having a high surface area and a high proportion of CO2 adsorbents.

[0018] CN114452768 describes the use of a combination of carbonates and nanoporous materials for CO2 capture; however, carbonates have limitations, such as requiring high temperatures for CO2 capture, resulting in massive energy loss, and a slow reaction rate. This process is dependent on a wet regeneration process, which varies with ambient humidity and will remain a significant challenge in many regions around the world. The durability of the adsorbent decreases rapidly under repeated wet-dry conditions. Scaling to an industrial scale is also a difficult challenge.

[0019] JP5820254 describes a method using granular CO2 adsorbent contained within a movable hopper and allowing CO2-containing gas to pass through this hopper, but this inevitably causes a high pressure drop, making the system very large. On the other hand, the present invention uses a CO2 adsorbent supported on the surface and inside a honeycomb structure integrated into a CO2 reduction system.

[0020] WO2012099913 deals with a technology for impregnating metal oxide foam supports with amines that have mechanical brittleness issues. These supports are brittle and prone to cracking, which causes a shortened lifespan of the system, especially under dynamic conditions.

[0021] US10427086 describes a technology using amine-based loose particulate adsorbents within a parallel plate structure for CO2 adsorption. Adsorbents in such systems have a high risk of wear, a very large pressure drop, and poor durability. Additionally, these systems are structurally complex and bulky.

[0022] US2024 / 0316490 deals with gas-liquid contactors and related systems for atmospheric CO2 capture, which essentially comprise a CO2 capture solution. The invention focuses on using a honeycomb-shaped adsorbent in which the majority of the components consist of a CO2 adsorbent.

[0023] US10933371 B2 deals with CO2 recovery products and systems relying on evaporative cooling and steam-assisted regeneration via a rotary honeycomb device using amine solid particles between 0.3 mm and 1.0 mm. The invention is not limited to a specific regeneration method and uses an adsorbent in powder or liquid form supported on a honeycomb matrix. Additionally, the powder adsorbent of the invention may be a mixture of a physical adsorbent or a moisture adsorbent, which is not mentioned in the said patent and overcomes many disadvantages of the said patent.

[0024] US11794144 B2 describes a method for forming a flat matrix for CO2 adsorption in a rotary device by attaching solid spherical CO2 adsorbent granules to a sheet and rolling it up. This requires a very cumbersome and outdated manufacturing method and has not been implemented in practice. The present invention manufactures a CO2 adsorption matrix using an original formulation method that combines chemical adsorbent or physical adsorbent powder with the surface and interior of a porous substrate. This matrix can be formed into various geometric shapes, such as triangles, rectangles, and squares, as well as circular shapes, to form a rotor.

[0025] US8500886 B2 deals with a technology using multiple rotors, at least one of which is for moisture adsorption, under complex and cumbersome airflow conditions, which is inefficient for practical application. Although various prior art is known regarding adsorbent devices for capturing carbon dioxide from dry and / or wet gas flows, there is still a need to provide an adsorbent device equipped with a molded honeycomb matrix supported with an adsorbent material that reduces energy consumption and improves carbon dioxide removal capacity. means of solving the problem

[0026] The objective of the present invention is to provide a molded honeycomb contactor in which an adsorption material is blended / supported on the interior and surface of a porous substrate of the contactor, thereby selecting and optimizing the adsorption material to selectively adsorb / capture / remove / separate CO2 from a flow of dry or wet gas.

The amount of the first adsorption material required to capture 1 ton of carbon dioxide in the molded honeycomb contactor is at least 4 to 20 times less than the amount of the first adsorption material required to capture 1 ton of carbon dioxide in a particle-packed bed contactor.

[0028] Another aspect of the present invention relates to a molded honeycomb contactor (likewise referred to as "contactor") for capturing carbon dioxide from a flow of wet and / or dry gas.

When a combination of two adsorbent materials, namely a combination of a first adsorbent material (1b) and an additional adsorbent material (1c), is used, a combination of two physical adsorbents may be used, wherein one physical adsorbent captures carbon dioxide from a wet gas stream and the other physical adsorbent captures moisture. In the case of such physical adsorbents, the adsorbent loading amount of the first adsorbent material (1b) on the molded honeycomb contactor (1) exceeds 85%. In the embodiments of such amine-based adsorbents,The weight ratio of the porous substrate (1a) and the adsorbent combined with the porous substrate (1a) to the weight of the porous substrate (1a) is at most 8:1.

[0055] In one embodiment, the structure and arrangement of the molded honeycomb contactor (1) comprises a plurality of honeycomb flutes, and these flutes have a polygonal, square, triangular, circular, sinusoidal, rectangular, hexagonal, linear, zigzag, diagonal, or herringbone cross-section. The molded honeycomb contactor (1) may be either a roll-type cross-section honeycomb matrix structure or a stacked-type cross-section honeycomb matrix structure. Additionally, the molded honeycomb contactor (1) may be any one of a rotor type, a block type, and / or a triangle. The molded honeycomb contactor (1) may be a rotary-type molded honeycomb contactor (1) or a modular-type molded honeycomb contactor (1). In terms of structure and arrangement, another feature is that the molded honeycomb contactor (1) is composed of a sinusoidal cell shape having a flute pitch in the range of 2.5 to 5 mm and a height in the range of 1 to 3 mm. The molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention can be manufactured in large sizes reaching a maximum diameter of 5 m and a maximum depth of 2 m (in the case of a circular contactor (1)), but the depth and diameter can be adjusted according to actual requirements. In addition, the molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention can efficiently remove CO2 from a gas flow having a low CO2 concentration in the range of 3-5% or a gas flow having a high CO2 concentration in the range of 10-15%, and the contactor (1) of the present invention can efficiently remove CO2 from an ambient air flow containing about 0.04% CO2 and other concentration ranges in between.

[0056] As described above, the molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention is composed of a series of parallel cells that provide a large surface contact area relative to the volume of the material, thereby promoting an efficient laminar flow of gas and enhancing the contact between the air / gas flow and the adsorption material, thereby increasing the CO2 adsorption efficiency. This molded honeycomb contactor (1) is a long-lasting, efficient, and compact carbon capture system, and thus does not require frequent replacement, which can reduce the cost burden. The molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention is thermally more stable, resistant to corrosion, and has a small pressure drop. The molded honeycomb matrix structure of the present invention provides a large surface area capable of contacting the air / gas flow containing CO2, thereby enhancing CO2 adsorption within the air / gas flow by the adsorbent material coupled to the contactor (1) having a large surface area.

[0057] In particular, the cycle time of the molded honeycomb contactor (1) is 4 to 20 times shorter than that of the granular packed bed contactor (1). Also, the amount of the first adsorption material (1b) used per ton of carbon dioxide captured in the molded honeycomb contactor (1) is at least 4 to 20 times less than the amount of the first adsorption material (1b) used per ton of carbon dioxide captured in the granular packed bed contactor (1).

[0058] Various embodiments for manufacturing a molded honeycomb contactor (1) can be conceived, and the details are as follows.

[0059] FIGS. 2a and 2d illustrate a method for manufacturing a molded honeycomb contactor (1) using only one adsorption material, namely the first adsorption material (1b).

[0060] In one embodiment of the method for manufacturing a molded honeycomb contactor (1), as shown in FIG. 2a, a porous substrate (1a) is provided, and a slurry of a first adsorption material (1b) is prepared. In one embodiment of the method, the porous substrate (1a) is uniformly contacted with the slurry of the first adsorption material (1b). Then, the sheet of the porous substrate (1a) absorbs the slurry of the first adsorption material (1b) and is allowed to harden within it. Through this interaction, the first adsorption material (1b) is supported on the surface and inside the porous substrate (1a). Accordingly, the sheet takes on a corrugated form. Then, the sheet thus prepared is formed into the shape of a molded honeycomb contactor (1).

Additionally, a slurry of a first adsorption material (1b) is prepared. In one embodiment of the method, the molded honeycomb structure comes into even contact with the first adsorption material (1b) slurry. Then, the molded honeycomb structure absorbs the first adsorption material (1b) slurry and hardens within it. Through this interaction, the first adsorption material (1b) is supported on the surface and inside the molded honeycomb structure. Thus, a molded honeycomb contactor is manufactured.

[0062] FIGS. 2B and 2C, as well as FIGS. 2E and 2F, illustrate a method for manufacturing a molded honeycomb contactor (1) using two adsorption materials, namely a first adsorption material (1b) and an additional adsorption material (1c). In one embodiment, both the first adsorption material (1b) and the additional adsorption material (1c) are composed of amine-based adsorbents, which may be selected from the aforementioned list of amine-based adsorbents, and the first adsorption material (1b) may be selected to capture carbon dioxide from a flow of dry and / or wet gas, and the additional adsorption material (1c) may be selected to adsorb carbon dioxide and / or moisture from a flow of dry and / or wet gas.

The first adsorption material (1b) is selected to capture carbon dioxide from a wet gas stream, and an additional adsorption material (1c) may be selected to adsorb moisture from a wet gas stream. Preferred embodiments are described below.

[0063] As an example of a method for manufacturing a molded honeycomb contactor (1), as illustrated in FIG. 2b, a porous substrate (1a) is provided, and at the same time, a slurry of an additional adsorption material (1c) is prepared. In an example of the method, the porous substrate (1a) is first uniformly contacted with the slurry of the additional adsorption material (1c). Then, the sheet of the porous substrate (1a) is allowed to absorb the slurry of the additional adsorption material (1c) and harden within it. Through this process, the additional adsorption material (1c) is supported on the surface and inside of the porous substrate (1a). Subsequently, the sheet thus prepared is molded into a honeycomb matrix structure. Molding can be performed by winding or lamination. Afterward, the molded honeycomb matrix structure is immersed in a sedimentation tank containing the first adsorption material (1b) and then dried. When drying is complete, the first adsorption material (1b) and the additional adsorption material (1c) are each formed on the surface and inside the porous substrate (1a) to complete the honeycomb contactor (1).

[0064] As another embodiment of the method for manufacturing a molded honeycomb matrix structure, as illustrated in FIG. 2c, a porous substrate (1a) is provided, and a slurry consisting of a mixture of a first adsorption material (1b) and an additional adsorption material (1c) is provided. In the method of this embodiment, the porous substrate (1a) is uniformly contacted with the slurry of the first adsorption material (1b) and the additional adsorption material (1c). Then, the sheet of the porous substrate (1a) is allowed to absorb the slurry and harden within it. Through this interaction, the first adsorption material (1b) and the additional adsorption material (1c), respectively, are supported on the surface and inside of the porous substrate (1a). Accordingly, the sheet takes on a wavy shape. Then, the sheet thus prepared is formed into the shape of a molded honeycomb matrix structure. This molding can be achieved through a winding or lamination method.

[0065] As another embodiment of the method for manufacturing a molded honeycomb matrix structure, as illustrated in FIG. 2e, a porous substrate (1a) in the form of a molded honeycomb structure made of a corrugated sheet is provided. The corrugated sheet is formed into the shape of a molded honeycomb structure. This molding can be achieved through a winding or lamination method. Additionally, a slurry of an additional adsorption material (1c) is prepared. In the method of this embodiment, the molded honeycomb structure is first uniformly contacted with the slurry of the additional adsorption material (1c). Then, the molded honeycomb structure is allowed to absorb the slurry of the additional adsorption material (1c) and harden within it. Through this interaction, the additional adsorption material (1c) is formed on the surface and inside the molded honeycomb structure. Accordingly, a molded honeycomb matrix structure is prepared. Then, the molded honeycomb matrix structure is immersed in a sedimentation tank of the first adsorption material (1b) and dried. After drying, a molded honeycomb contactor (1) is completed in which each of the first adsorption material (1b) and the additional adsorption material (1c) is formed.

[0066] As another embodiment of the method for manufacturing a molded honeycomb matrix structure, as illustrated in FIG. 2f, a porous substrate (1a) is provided in the form of a molded honeycomb structure manufactured from a corrugated sheet. The corrugated sheet is formed into the shape of a molded honeycomb structure. This molding can be achieved through a winding or lamination method. Additionally, a slurry consisting of a mixture of a first adsorption material (1b) and an additional adsorption material (1c) is prepared. In an embodiment of the method, the molded honeycomb structure is first uniformly contacted with the slurry of the mixture of the first adsorption material (1b) and the additional adsorption material (1c). Then, the molded honeycomb structure is allowed to absorb the slurry and solidify within it. Through this interaction, the first adsorption material (1b) and the additional adsorption material (1c), respectively, are supported on the surface and inside the molded honeycomb structure. Thus, a molded honeycomb contactor (1) is manufactured.

In particular, the defined air paths are a processing inlet air path (8), a processing outlet air path (9), a reactivation inlet air path (13), and a reactivation outlet air path (18). For the air paths, the following definitions may be referenced.

[0085] The air flowing through the treatment inlet air path (8) can be called the 'treatment inlet air'.

[0086] The air flowing through the treatment outflow air path (9) can be called the 'treatment outflow air'.

[0087] The combination of 'treated incoming air' and 'treated outgoing air' is called 'treated air'.

[0088] The air flowing through the reactivation inflow air path (13) can be called the ‘reactivation inflow air’.

[0089] The fluid flowing through the reactivation inlet air path (13) can be referred to as the ‘reactivation inlet fluid’.

[0090] The fluid flowing through the reactivation outflow air path (18) can be called the 'reactivation outflow fluid'.

[0091] The combination of 'reactivation inlet fluid' and 'reactivation outlet air' including 'reactivation inlet air' can be called 'reactivation fluid'.

[0092] A first fan (7) is positioned to generate a flow of treatment air, wherein treatment inflow air (e.g., combustion gas generated from industrial waste) is introduced through a treatment inflow air path (8), passes through a treatment sector (2) of a contactor (1), and then is discharged as treatment outflow air through a treatment outflow air path (9) (e.g., to the external environment). In some embodiments, the treatment inflow air is pre-treated before being introduced into the treatment inflow air path (8). While the treatment air passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), carbon dioxide in the treatment air is captured therein, so that the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment outflow air becomes much lower than the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment inflow air. Additionally, a second fan (21) is installed to generate reactivated air. In particular, the second fan (21) operates to receive reactivated inflow air within a reactivated inflow air path (13). Furthermore, a steam generator (15) (optional) supplies steam to the reactivated inlet air in the reactivated inlet air path (13) through a valve (16). Thus, the second fan (21) causes the reactivated inlet fluid (i.e., a mixture of reactivated inlet air and steam) to flow through the reactivated inlet air path (13) and pass through the reactivated sector (3) of the contactor (1), and then causes the reactivated outlet fluid to be discharged (e.g. to the external environment) through the reactivated outlet air path (18). In addition, a vacuum pump (19) (optional) is fluidically connected to the reactivated outlet air path through a valve (16a) to release the pressure in the reactivated outlet air path (18). It should be noted that a heating device (12) may be additionally (optionally) installed within the reactivation inlet air path (13) to heat the reactivation inlet air before the reactivation air passes through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1). The arrangement / position of the fan shown in the drawing is exemplary and does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0093] When the first embodiment of the adsorption device is in operation, the first fan (7) is activated to generate a flow of treatment air. Specifically, treatment incoming air (e.g., combustion gas generated from industrial waste) is introduced through the treatment incoming air path (8), passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), and is then discharged through the treatment outgoing air path (9) (e.g., to the external environment). While the treatment air passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), carbon dioxide within the treatment air is captured there. Therefore, the treatment outgoing air discharged through the treatment outgoing air path (9) has a relatively lower concentration of carbon dioxide compared to the treatment incoming air entering through the treatment incoming air path (8). Additionally, the second fan (21) is activated to allow reactivated air to be introduced into the reactivated air path (13). Simultaneously with this air flow, the steam generator (15) supplies steam to the reactivated air. Accordingly, a mixture of reactivated air and steam is formed in the reactivated inlet air path (13), which is referred to as the 'reactivated inlet fluid'. Additionally, the second fan (21) causes the reactivated inlet fluid within the reactivated inlet air path (13) to pass through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1), and causes the reactivated outlet fluid to be discharged through the reactivated outlet fluid path (18). It should be noted that when the regeneration fluid passes through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1), carbon dioxide is released from the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1). Thus, the contactor (1) can be reactivated and reused. In particular, the wheel drive unit (5) continuously rotates the contactor (1) so that various parts / zones of the contactor (1) can be used and reused.

[0094] Details regarding a second embodiment of an adsorption device according to the concept of the present invention may be referenced in FIG. 3b. This second embodiment of the adsorption device is essentially a wheel-type carbon capture device. According to the concept of the present invention, the adsorption device comprises: a molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention as previously defined; a wheel drive unit (5) for continuously rotating / driving the contactor (1); a housing having an internal baffle and an air seal adjacent to the wheel surface to form a plenum or sector, and forming an air path through which air can pass through the molded honeycomb contactor (1) while preventing air leakage between adjacent sectors partitioned within the contactor (1); and one or more fans (7, 21) for generating an air flow along the air path (8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 18) formed by the housing. In particular, in the second embodiment of the adsorption device, either the first preferred embodiment or the second preferred embodiment of the molded honeycomb contactor (1) is adopted, that is, only one first adsorption material (1b) which is an amine-based adsorption material is used, or two adsorption materials are used, each being the first adsorption material (1b) which is an amine-based adsorption material and an additional adsorption material (1c). In the second embodiment of the adsorption device, the molded honeycomb contactor (1) is composed of three sectors through which air can pass, namely a processing sector (2), two purge sectors (4) (first purge sector (4) and second purge sector (4a)), and a reactivation sector (3). It is noteworthy that the formed air paths are a processing inlet air path (8), a processing outlet air path (9), a reactivation inlet air path (17), and a reactivation outlet air path (18), and a heat recovery loop air path (36) is provided. For air paths, refer to the following definition.

[0095] The air flowing into the treatment inlet air path (8) can be called the 'treatment inlet air';

[0096] The air flowing along the treatment outflow air path (9) can be called the 'treatment outflow air'.

[0097] The combination of 'treated incoming air' and 'treated outgoing air' is called 'treated air'.

[0098] The air flowing along the heat recovery loop air path (36) can be called 'purge heat recovery air'.

[0099] The air flowing along the reactivation inflow air path (13) can be called the ‘reactivation inflow air’.

[0100] The fluid flowing along the reactivation inflow air path (13) can be called the 'reactivation inflow fluid'.

[0101] The fluid flowing along the reactivation outflow air path (18) can be called the 'reactivation outflow fluid'.

[0102] The combination of the 'reactivation inlet fluid' containing the 'reactivation inlet air' and the 'reactivation outlet air' is called the 'reactivation fluid'.

[0103] A first fan (7) is positioned to generate a flow of treatment air, wherein treatment inlet air (e.g., flue gas generated from industrial waste) is introduced through a treatment inlet air path (8), passes through a treatment sector (2) of a contactor (1), and is then discharged as treatment outlet air through a treatment outlet air path (9) (e.g., to the external environment). In some embodiments, the treatment inlet air is pretreated before being introduced into the treatment inlet air path (8). As the treatment air passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), carbon dioxide within the treatment air is captured therein, so that the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment outlet air becomes much lower than the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment inlet air. Additionally, a third fan (37) is installed to generate purge heat recovery air through a heat recovery loop air path (36) that recirculates air from each of the first purge sector (4) and the second purge sector (4a). Furthermore, a second fan (21) is installed to generate regenerated air. Accordingly, the second fan (21) causes the reactivation inlet air in the reactivation inlet air path (13) to pass through the reactivation sector (3) and be discharged into the reactivation outlet air path (18). Additionally (optional), a steam generator (15) supplies steam to the reactivation inlet air in the reactivation inlet air path (13) through the valve (16). Accordingly, the second fan (21) causes the reactivation inlet fluid (i.e., a mixture of reactivation inlet air and steam) to flow through the reactivation inlet air path (13) and pass through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1), and causes the reactivation outlet fluid to be discharged (e.g. to the external environment) through the reactivation outlet air path (18). Also (optional), a vacuum pump (19) is fluidically connected to the reactivation outlet air path through the valve (16a) to release the pressure in the reactivation outlet air path (18).Note that a heating device (12) may be additionally (optionally) installed within the reactivation inlet air path (13) to heat the reactivation inlet air before the reactivation air passes through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1). The arrangement and position of the fan shown in the drawing are exemplary and do not limit the scope of the invention.

[0104] When the second embodiment of the adsorption device is in operation, the first fan (7) operates to generate a flow of treatment air. Specifically, treatment incoming air (e.g., exhaust gas generated from industrial waste) is introduced through the treatment incoming air path (9), passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), and is then discharged through the treatment outgoing air path (9) (e.g., to the external environment). While the treatment air passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), carbon dioxide within the treatment air is captured therein. Thus, the treatment outgoing air discharged through the treatment outgoing air path (9) has a relatively lower concentration of carbon dioxide compared to the treatment incoming air entering through the treatment incoming air path (8). Additionally, the third fan (21) operates to induce a flow of 'purge heat recovery fluid' through the heat recovery loop air path (36), which recirculates the purge heat recovery fluid from the first purge sector (4) and the second purge sector (4a), respectively. Accordingly, a mixture of reactivated air and steam is placed in the reactivated inlet air path (13), which can be called the 'reactivated inlet fluid'. In addition, the second fan (21) causes the reactivated inlet fluid within the reactivated inlet air path (13) to pass through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1), and causes the reactivated outlet fluid to be discharged through the reactivated outlet air path (18). It should be noted that when the reactivation fluid passes through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1), carbon dioxide is released from the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1). Thus, the contactor (1) can be reactivated and reused. In particular, the wheel drive unit (5) continuously rotates the contactor (1) so that various parts or zones of the contactor (1) can be used and reused.

[0105] Details regarding a third embodiment of an adsorption device according to the concept of the present invention may be referenced in FIG. 3c. This third embodiment of the adsorption device is a wheel-type carbon capture device. According to the concept of the present invention, this adsorption device comprises: a molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention as previously defined; a wheel drive unit (5) for continuously rotating and driving the contactor (1); a housing having an internal baffle and an air seal near the wheel surface to form an air path through which air can pass through the contactor (1), while simultaneously creating a plenum or sector and preventing air leakage between adjacent sectors defined within the contactor (1); and one or more fans (7, 21) for generating an air flow through the air path (8, 9, 13, 18) defined by the housing. In particular, this third embodiment of the adsorption device includes a third preferred embodiment of the molded honeycomb contactor (1), namely, a form in which a first adsorption material (1b) of one of the amine-based adsorption materials is applied. The structure, arrangement, and connection relationships of the third embodiment of the adsorption device are identical to those of the first embodiment of the adsorption device, so they are not described repeatedly for brevity. The operation of the third embodiment of the adsorption device is also identical to that of the first embodiment of the adsorption device, so it is not described repeatedly. Accordingly, the third embodiment of the adsorption device can efficiently adsorb carbon dioxide from a flow of dry and / or wet gas.

[0106] Additionally, the third embodiment of the adsorption device is equipped with a moisture collection unit installed in a cooling coil (32a) to extract water from moisture contained in the reactivated outflow air within the reactivated outflow air path (18). Specifically, the cooling coil (32a) condenses the moisture in the reactivated outflow air to collect water in a collection tray and further stores the water in a water storage tank (33).

[0107] Details regarding a fourth embodiment of an adsorption device according to the concept of the present invention may be referenced in FIG. 3d. The fourth embodiment of the adsorption device is a wheel-type carbon capture device. According to the concept of the present invention, this adsorbent device comprises: a molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention as previously defined; a wheel drive unit (5) for continuously rotating and driving the contactor (1); a housing having an internal baffle and an air seal adjacent to the wheel surface to form an air path passing through the contactor (1) while simultaneously creating a plenum or sector and preventing air leakage between adjacent sectors partitioned within the contactor (1); and one or more fans (7, 21) for generating an air flow along the air path (8, 9, 13, 18) formed by the housing. In particular, the adsorption device of the fourth embodiment is configured with two adsorbents: a first adsorption material (1b), which is a physical adsorbent for capturing carbon dioxide from a wet gas flow, and an additional adsorption material (1c), which is a physical adsorbent for adsorbing moisture from a wet gas flow. Since the structure, arrangement, and connection relationship of the adsorption device of the fourth embodiment are the same as those of the adsorption device of the first embodiment, they are not described repeatedly. The operation of the adsorption device of the fourth embodiment is also the same as that of the adsorption device of the first embodiment, so the description is not repeated. Accordingly, the adsorption device of the fourth embodiment can not only efficiently adsorb carbon dioxide from a dry and / or wet gas flow, but can also adsorb moisture from a wet gas flow.

[0108] In addition, the fourth embodiment of the adsorption device comprises a water collection unit installed in a cooling coil (32a) to extract water from moisture contained in the reactivated outflow air within the reactivated outflow air path. In particular, the cooling coil (32a) condenses the moisture in the reactivated outflow air to collect water in a water collection tray and further stores the water in a water storage tank (33).

[0109] Details regarding a fifth embodiment of an adsorption device according to the concept of the present invention may be referenced in FIG. 3e. This fifth embodiment of the adsorption device is essentially a wheel-type carbon capture device. According to the concept of the present invention, this adsorption device comprises: a molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention as previously defined; a wheel drive unit (5) for continuously rotating and driving the contactor (1); a housing having an internal baffle and an air seal near the wheel surface to form an air path through which air can pass through the molded honeycomb contactor (1), while simultaneously creating a plenum or sector and preventing air leakage between adjacent sectors defined within the contactor (1); and one or more fans (7, 21) for generating an air flow through the air path (8, 9, 10, 11, 13, 18) defined by the housing. In particular, the fifth embodiment of this adsorption device includes a configuration in which two adsorbents are arranged: a first adsorption material (1b), which is a physical adsorbent, and an additional adsorption material (1c), which is a fourth preferred embodiment of the molded honeycomb contactor (1). In the second embodiment of this adsorption device, the molded honeycomb contactor (1) is composed of three sectors, a processing sector (2), a purge sector (4), and a reactivation sector (3), through which air can pass. In particular, the defined air paths are a processing inlet air path (8), a processing outlet air path (9), a purge inlet air path (10), a purge outlet air path (11), a reactivation inlet air path (13), and a reactivation outlet air path (18). The following definitions may be referenced for the air paths.

[0110] The air flowing through the treatment inlet air path (8) can be called the 'treatment inlet air'.

[0111] The air flowing through the treatment outflow air path (9) can be called the 'treatment outflow air'.

[0112] The combination of 'treated incoming air' and 'treated outgoing air' is called 'treated air'.

[0113] The air flowing through the purge inflow air path (10) is called 'purge inflow air'.

[0114] The air flowing through the purge outflow air path (11) is called 'purge outflow air'.

[0115] The combination of 'purge inflow air' and 'purge outflow air' is called 'purge air'.

[0116] The air flowing through the reactivation inflow air path (13) can be called the ‘reactivation inflow air’.

[0117] The fluid flowing through the reactivation inflow air path (13) can be called the 'reactivation inflow fluid'.

[0118] The fluid flowing through the reactivation outflow air path (18) can be called the ‘reactivation outflow fluid’.

[0119] The combination of the 'reactivation inlet fluid' containing the 'reactivation inlet air' and the 'reactivation outlet air' is called the 'reactivation fluid'.

[0120] A first fan (7) is positioned to generate a flow of treatment air, wherein treatment inflow air (e.g., combustion gas generated from industrial waste) is introduced through a treatment inflow air path (8), passes through a treatment sector (2) of a contactor (1), and is then discharged through a treatment outflow air path (9) (e.g. to the external environment). In some embodiments, the treatment inflow air undergoes a pretreatment process before being introduced into the treatment inflow air path (8). Since carbon dioxide in the treatment air is captured while the treatment air passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment outflow air becomes much lower than the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment inflow air. Additionally, a second fan (21) is installed to generate both purge air and reactivation air. The purge inlet air path (10) may be configured to be fluidly connected to the treatment inlet air path (8) to transfer a portion of the treatment inlet air to the purge inlet air, and the purge outlet air path (11) may be fluidly connected to the reactivation inlet air path (13) to transfer the purge outlet air to the reactivation inlet air. Accordingly, the second fan (21) receives a portion of the treatment inlet air from the treatment inlet air path (8) as purge inlet air in the purge inlet air path (10), passes the purge air through the purge sector (4), and then transfers the purge outlet air of the purge outlet air path (11) to the reactivation inlet air of the reactivation inlet air path (13). In addition, a steam generator (15) (optional) supplies steam to the reactivation inlet air within the reactivation inlet air path (13) through the valve (16). Accordingly, the second fan (21) also allows the reactivation inflow fluid (i.e., a mixture of reactivation inflow air and steam) to be introduced through the reactivation inflow air path (13) and pass through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1), and then the reactivation outflow fluid is discharged through the reactivation outflow air path (18) (e.g., to the external environment).Additionally, a vacuum pump (19) (optional) is fluidically connected to the reactivated outflow air path via a valve (16a) to release pressure in the reactivated outflow air path (18). It should be noted that a heating device (12) may be additionally (optional) installed within the reactivated inflow air path (13) to heat the reactivated inflow air before the reactivated air passes through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1). The arrangement / position of the fan shown in the drawings is exemplary and does not limit the scope of the invention.

[0121] When the second embodiment of the adsorption device is in operation, the first fan (7) operates to generate a flow of treatment air. Specifically, treatment incoming air (e.g., flue gas generated from industrial waste) is introduced through the treatment incoming air path (9), passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), and then treatment outgoing air is discharged through the treatment outgoing air path (9) (e.g., to the external environment). While the treatment air passes through the treatment sector (2) of the contactor (1), carbon dioxide within the treatment air is captured therein. Therefore, the treatment outgoing air discharged through the treatment outgoing air path (9) has a relatively lower concentration of carbon dioxide compared to the treatment incoming air entering through the treatment incoming air path (8). Additionally, the second fan (21) operates to extract a portion of the processing incoming air from the processing incoming air path (8) as the purge incoming air in the purge incoming air path (11), cause the purge air to pass through the purge sector (4) of the contactor (1), and supply the purge outgoing air of the purge outgoing air path (11) as the reactivation incoming air in the reactivation incoming air path (13). Simultaneously with this air flow, the steam generator (15) supplies steam to the regeneration air. Accordingly, a mixture of the regeneration air and steam is formed in the reactivation incoming air path (13), which is referred to as the 'reactivation incoming fluid'. Furthermore, the second fan (21) also performs the role of causing the reactivation incoming fluid in the reactivation incoming air path (13) to pass through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1) and discharging the reactivation outgoing fluid in the reactivation outgoing air path (18). When the reactivation fluid passes through the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1), carbon dioxide is released from the reactivation sector (3) of the contactor (1). Thus, the contactor (1) can be regenerated and reused. In particular, the wheel drive unit (5) continuously rotates the contactor (1) so that various parts / sectors of the contactor (1) can be used and reused.

[0122] Details regarding a sixth embodiment of an adsorption device according to the concept of the present invention may be referenced in FIG. 3f. This sixth embodiment of the adsorption device is a wheel-type carbon capture device. According to the concept of the present invention, this adsorption device comprises: a molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the present invention as previously defined; a wheel drive unit (5) for continuously rotating and driving the contactor (1); a housing having an internal baffle and an air seal near the wheel surface to form an air path through the contactor (1) while simultaneously creating a plenum or sector and preventing air leakage between adjacent sectors defined within the contactor (1); and one or more fans (7, 21) for generating an air flow through the air path (8, 9, 13, 18) defined by the housing. In particular, the sixth embodiment of this adsorption device adopts two adsorbents, namely the first adsorption material (1b), which is a physical adsorbent material for capturing carbon dioxide from a wet gas flow, and the additional adsorption material (1c), which is a physical adsorbent material for adsorbing moisture from a wet gas flow, which is the fourth preferred embodiment of the molded honeycomb contactor (1). Since the structure, arrangement, and connection relationship of the sixth embodiment of this adsorption device are the same as those of the second embodiment of the adsorption device, they are not described repeatedly for brevity. The operation of the sixth embodiment of this adsorption device is also the same as that of the second embodiment of the adsorption device, so the description is not repeated. Accordingly, the sixth embodiment of the adsorption device can not only efficiently adsorb carbon dioxide from a dry and / or wet gas flow, but also adsorb moisture from a wet gas flow.

[0123] FIG. 4a shows an adsorption system including a seventh embodiment of an adsorption device according to the present invention. This adsorption system is a two-wheel system that adopts the seventh embodiment of an adsorption device, which is identical to the fifth embodiment of an adsorption device according to the present invention. In particular, in this embodiment, the seventh embodiment of the adsorption device includes a fourth preferred embodiment of a molded honeycomb contactor (1), that is, a configuration in which two adsorbents, a first adsorption material (1b) and an additional adsorption material (1c), which are each physical adsorbents, are arranged to capture carbon dioxide from a gas flow. This seventh embodiment of the adsorption device includes a processing sector (2), a reactivation sector (3), and a purge sector (4). Upstream of the seventh embodiment of the adsorption device, a dehumidification device equipped with a dehumidification wheel (1a) is arranged, wherein the dehumidification wheel (1a) supports a molded honeycomb matrix, and the molded honeycomb matrix consists of a porous substrate (1a) and a dehumidifying agent supported on the surface and inside of the substrate (1a), and the dehumidifying agent can substantially adsorb moisture from the flow of wet gas. The dehumidification wheel divides the processing sector (2a) and the reactivation sector (3a). Thus, the dehumidification wheel of the dehumidification device adsorbs moisture from the flow of wet gas, and the adsorption device mainly captures carbon dioxide from the flow of wet gas.

[0124] FIG. 4b shows an adsorption system including an eighth embodiment of the adsorption device according to the present invention. This adsorption system is identical to the adsorption system of the previous embodiment including a seventh embodiment of the adsorption device according to the present invention. This adsorption system additionally includes a moisture recovery unit disposed in a cooling coil (32a) to extract water from moisture contained in the reactivated effluent air within the reactivated effluent air path (18). In particular, the cooling coil (32a) condenses the moisture in the reactivated effluent air to collect water in a collection tray and further stores water in a water storage tank (33).

[0125] In an embodiment of an adsorption system equipped with a double wheel device as illustrated in FIG. 4b, a combination of a desiccant device for adsorbing moisture from a wet gas flow and an adsorption device for capturing carbon dioxide is used together with a water recovery unit installed in the desiccant device. The water recovery unit consists of a water collection tray located below the cooling coil (32b) of the desiccant device to collect moisture condensed in the cooling coil (32b), and a water storage tank for collecting and storing this water. In this embodiment, since the desiccant device and the adsorption device are used in combination, there are several advantages as follows: (i) Since the moisture in the wet gas flow is adsorbed first and then the carbon dioxide is captured, the moisture does not interfere with the capture of carbon dioxide, thereby enabling improved carbon dioxide capture performance. (ii) Water can be recovered simultaneously with the capture of carbon dioxide from the gas flow. (iii) Energy optimization can be achieved by recovering water from the effluent of the carbon dioxide capture and adsorption device, which results in a significant reduction in net energy consumption (kWh) per ton of carbon dioxide removed annually, as the energy required for water removal is not included in the cost of carbon dioxide removal but is considered a benefit for the recovered water.

[0126] FIG. 5a shows a seventh embodiment of a carbon dioxide capture device, which is a single modular carbon dioxide capture device. In this seventh embodiment, the carbon dioxide capture device includes a module (23) that can be alternately used as an adsorber unit and a desorber unit in the adsorption stage and the desorption stage, respectively. This module may be based on any one of four preferred embodiments of a molded honeycomb contactor (1). In particular, in the adsorption stage of the carbon dioxide capture device, the module (23) may be used as an adsorber to capture carbon dioxide from an airflow passing through it. On the other hand, in the desorption stage of the carbon dioxide capture device, the module (23) may be used as a desorber to release carbon dioxide from a fluid passing through it. To this end, a blower (7) is fluidly connected to the module (23) through each of the adsorption line (24) and the desorption line (25). Additionally, the blower (7) is fluidly connected to each of the exhaust gas supply source and the ambient air supply source, so that in the adsorption stage, exhaust gas is selectively supplied to the module (23) through the adsorption line (24), and in the desorption stage, ambient air is supplied to the module (23) through the desorption line (25). This selective supply of exhaust gas or ambient air can be controlled by one or more valves (not shown). Furthermore, a heating device (12) is installed inside the desorption line (25) to heat the reactivated incoming air (ambient air) passing through the line. Additionally, a steam generator (15) is fluidly connected to the desorption line (25) to supply steam to the reactivated incoming air.

[0127] When operating, one or more valves are first operated to drive the carbon capture device into the adsorption stage. In the adsorption stage, the blower (7) supplies exhaust gas to the module (23) through the adsorption line (24). Specifically, a portion of the exhaust gas is introduced as treatment incoming air, passes through the module (23), and is then discharged to the external environment through the treatment outgoing air path. During this operation process, carbon dioxide is captured inside the module (23), so the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment outgoing air becomes much lower than the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment incoming air. Accordingly, the treatment air is purified. Subsequently, a regeneration process is required to reuse the module (23). To this end, one or more valves are operated to drive the carbon capture device into the desorption stage. In the desorption stage, the blower (7) supplies ambient air to the module (23) through the desorption line (25). This ambient air can be referred to as reactivated incoming air. At this time, the reactivated incoming air is heated by the heating device (12). Additionally, the steam generator (15) supplies steam to the reactivated incoming air. The mixture of the 'reactivated incoming air' and the 'steam' is called the 'reactivated incoming fluid'. Thus, the 'reactivated incoming fluid' is passed through the module (23) to reactivate the module (23), and as a result, the 'reactivated outgoing fluid' is discharged. This removes carbon dioxide from the module (23). That is, the carbon dioxide concentration of the 'reactivated outgoing fluid' is higher than the carbon dioxide concentration of the 'reactivated incoming fluid'. In particular, through this process, the module (23) can be reactivated and reused.

[0128] FIG. 5b shows an eighth embodiment of a carbon capture device, which is a dual-modular carbon capture device. In this eighth embodiment, the carbon capture device comprises a first module (23) and a second module (23a), both of which can be used alternately as an adsorption unit and a desorption unit. Both modules (23) and (23a) may be based on any one of four preferred embodiments of a molded honeycomb contactor (1). In particular, in the first cycle, the first module (23) is used as an adsorption unit and the second module (23a) is used as a desorption unit, whereas in the second cycle, the first module (23) is used as a desorption unit and the second module (23a) is used as an adsorption unit. One or more valves (not shown) may be provided to switch the carbon capture device between the first operating cycle and the second operating cycle. For this purpose, a blower fan (7) is fluidly connected to each of the first module (23) and the second module (23a) through an adsorption line (24) to supply combustion gas to either the first module (23) or the second module (23a) to be used as an adsorption unit. Additionally, a second blower (21) is fluidly connected to each of the first module (23) and the second module (23a) through a desorption line (30) to supply ambient air to either the first module (23) or the second module (23a) to be used as a desorption unit. Furthermore, a heating device (12) is installed within the desorption line (30) to heat the reactivated incoming air (ambient air) passing through the desorption line (30). Additionally, a steam generator (15) is fluidly connected to the desorption line (30) through a valve (16) to add steam to the reactivated incoming air. Furthermore, a vacuum pump (19) is also fluidically connected to the module (23) to remove the regeneration fluid therefrom.

[0129] When operating, one or more valves are initially operated to operate the carbon capture device in the first cycle. In the first cycle, the first module (23) is used as an adsorption device, and the second module (23a) is used as a desorption device. Specifically, the first module (23) may not have any carbon dioxide captured inside and may be loaded with carbon dioxide captured in the previous cycle. In this situation, the first blower fan (7) supplies combustion gas to the first module (23) through the adsorption line (24). In particular, a portion of the combustion gas is supplied as treatment inflow air through the treatment inflow air path (8) and passes through the first module (23), and accordingly, the treatment outflow air is discharged through the treatment outflow air path (27). During this operation process, carbon dioxide is captured inside the module (23), so the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment outflow air becomes much lower than the carbon dioxide concentration in the treatment inflow air. Therefore, the treatment air is purified. At the same time, the second blower fan (21) supplies ambient air to the second module (23a) as reactivated air through the desorption line (30) for regeneration. At this time, the reactivated air is heated by the heating device (12) and also receives steam from the steam generator (15). The mixture of the heated reactivated air and steam is called the 'regeneration fluid'. In addition, the reactivated inlet fluid is supplied through the reactivated inlet air path (17a), passes through the second module (23a), and is then discharged as the reactivated outlet fluid through the reactivated outlet air path (29a) by the vacuum pump (19). As a result, the second module (23a) is regenerated, that is, the carbon dioxide concentration of the reactivated outlet fluid becomes higher than the carbon dioxide concentration of the reactivated inlet fluid. Furthermore, in the second cycle, the first module (23) is used as a desorption device and the second module (23a) is used as an adsorption device, and this process is repeated. For the sake of brevity, the explanation of the operation process of the second cycle is omitted.

[0130] The advantage of the present invention is related to the aforementioned adsorption device / adsorption system using an adsorption wheel comprising a special adsorption material.

[0131] One of the advantages of the present invention can be clearly seen through the table below. This table compares the output (in terms of energy and performance) between a conventional granular adsorption device using an adsorption wheel with a standard material and an adsorption device using an adsorption wheel with the special adsorption material of the present invention.

[0132] Test data using the CO2 adsorption device according to the present invention

[0133]

[0134] reference All other variables, such as relative humidity (RH), regeneration temperature, and influent CO2 concentration, were kept the same in both tests.

[0135] The table above clearly demonstrates the advantages of the present invention, particularly in meeting industrial requirements for improved carbon dioxide capture performance from dry and / or wet gas flows. As shown in the table, while maintaining identical inflow conditions, a conventional contactor-based adsorption device using granular adsorbent had a cycle time of 330 minutes, whereas an adsorption device based on a molded honeycomb contactor (1) with the adsorbent of the present invention had a cycle time of only 51 minutes. Nevertheless, both devices achieved substantially the same level of carbon dioxide removal results from dry and / or wet gas flows. Thus, the cycle time of an adsorption device employing a molded honeycomb contactor (1) containing the adsorption material according to the present invention is six times shorter than the cycle time of a conventional adsorption device employing a conventional contactor composed of granular adsorbent material (i.e., in the range of 4 to 20 times shorter). Likewise, the amount of granular adsorbent material used in the contactor of a conventional adsorption device is 45 lbs / cuft, whereas the amount of special adsorbent material used in the molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the adsorption device according to the present invention is 11 lbs / cuft. That is, the amount of adsorbent material included in the molded honeycomb contactor (1) of the adsorption device according to the present invention is four times less than the amount of granular adsorbent material included in the contactor of a conventional adsorption device (i.e., within a range of 4 to 20 times less). In conclusion, the present invention achieves the same level of carbon dioxide treatment performance while using a smaller amount of adsorbent material, and at the same time shortens the cycle time.
