Carbon dioxide absorbent compound, carbon dioxide absorbent, carbon dioxide separation method, carbon dioxide separation and capture method, and device using carbon dioxide absorbent

[0001] The present invention relates to a compound for a carbon dioxide absorbent, a carbon dioxide absorbent, a carbon dioxide separation method, a carbon dioxide separation and capture method, and an apparatus using the carbon dioxide absorbent.

[0002] In recent years, the concentration of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere has continued to increase due to increased consumption of fossil fuels such as oil and coal in industrial activities, as well as deforestation, and global warming, which is causing temperatures to rise on a global scale, is progressing.If global warming continues at this rate, it is thought that serious impacts will appear in various areas, such as desertification of the earth's surface, rising sea levels, and changes in ecosystems.

[0003] Under these circumstances, in order to prevent global warming, attention is being paid to technologies that capture carbon dioxide as well as curbing carbon dioxide emissions with the aim of reducing greenhouse gases. Carbon dioxide capture technologies include chemical absorption, physical absorption, solid absorption, and membrane separation, but chemical absorption is the most widely used method as it can handle a wide range of concentrations. In this chemical absorption method, carbon dioxide is absorbed into a liquid through a chemical reaction, and the absorbent liquid is heated to release and capture the carbon dioxide.

[0004] As a liquid to be used when absorbing carbon dioxide, for example, Patent Document 1 discloses an ionic liquid having an aminium cation having one or more primary or secondary amino groups and an ethylenediamine or propylenediamine skeleton.

[0025] The compound for a carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention can absorb carbon dioxide by reacting the amino group of the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) with carbon dioxide. In other words, the compound for a carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is a compound used as a substance for absorbing carbon dioxide in a carbon dioxide absorbent.

[0026] The carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is a carbon dioxide absorbent characterized by containing the compound for a carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention. That is, the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is a carbon dioxide absorbent characterized by containing a phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1). In the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, the phosphine oxide represented by general formula (1) absorbs carbon dioxide. The phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) in the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is the same as the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) in the compound for a carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention.

[0027] In the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, the form of the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) is not particularly limited, and may be present in a state supported on a carrier, may be present in a state dissolved in an aqueous solvent, or may be a mixture with a soluble organic solvent or an amine compound.

[0028] The carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is characterized by comprising a porous carrier and a compound for a carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention supported on the porous carrier. That is, the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is characterized by comprising a porous carrier and a phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) supported on the porous carrier. In the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1), which is a liquid, is taken into the pores of the porous carrier and physically adsorbed, so that the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) is supported on the porous carrier and exists therein.

[0029] The porous carrier for the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is not particularly limited as long as it has a porous structure having a large number of pores therein, and can incorporate the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) into the internal pores and physically adsorb and retain the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) within the pores. Examples of the porous carrier include activated carbon, silica gel, layered silicate, mesoporous silica, zeolite, vermiculite, molecular sieve, porous silica, diatomaceous earth, porous resin, porous fiber, porous metal-organic framework, porous alumina, porous ceramic, porous concrete, activated clay, clay mineral, and composites thereof. In terms of being able to increase the amount of the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) supported, activated carbon, silica gel, mesoporous silica, zeolite, molecular sieve, a composite of alumina and silica gel, and a composite of alumina and mesoporous silica are preferred. In addition, the porous carrier is a porous body capable of retaining water in its pores, such as activated carbon, silica gel, mesoporous silica, zeolite, molecular sieve, alumina and silica gel composite, alumina and mesoporous silica composite, etc., so that when the gas to be treated containing carbon dioxide contains moisture, the moisture in the gas to be treated is adsorbed into the pores of the porous body, making it possible to prevent the carbon dioxide absorbent compound from eluting from the porous carrier, and improving the carbon dioxide absorption performance of the carbon dioxide absorbent. The porous body capable of retaining water in its pores is not particularly limited as long as it can retain water in its pores, but examples include those that can contain water at a moisture content of 5 to 30% by mass, preferably 10 to 25% by mass.

[0030] The BET specific surface area of ​​the porous carrier is preferably 1.0 × 10 １ ~5.0 x 10 ３ m ２ / g, preferably 5.0×10 １ ~2.0 x 10 ３ m ２ The pore volume of the porous carrier measured by gas adsorption is preferably 0.1 to 2.0 cm ３ / g, preferably 0.3 to 1.5 cm ３ / g.

[0031] Examples of the shape of the porous carrier include granular, powdery, fibrous, plate-like, cylindrical, honeycomb, dice-like, and rectangular parallelepiped shapes. Among these, granular or powdery shapes are preferred from the viewpoints of contact with a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide and packing into packing equipment such as a column or tower. The porous carrier may also be in the form of a molded body.

[0032] Among the porous supports, from the viewpoints of ease of handling and ability to easily support the liquid phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1), activated carbon, silica gel, mesoporous silica, zeolite, molecular sieve, a composite of alumina and silica gel, and a composite of alumina and mesoporous silica are preferred, and activated carbon, silica gel, mesoporous silica, a composite of alumina and silica gel, and a composite of alumina and mesoporous silica are particularly preferred.

[0033] Various activated carbons can be used in the present invention, including activated carbons made from raw materials such as wood, coconut shells, coal, petroleum pitch, coke, and coal tar. The activated carbon may be a molded product. In addition to the above-described porous carrier characteristics, the activated carbon preferably has physical properties measured according to JIS K1474 (activated carbon testing method) of 0.1 to 5.0% loss on drying, 0.1 to 5.0% ignition residue, 0.25 to 0.85 g / ml packing density, 14.0 to 41.0% acetone adsorption capacity, 600 to 2600 mg / g iodine adsorption capacity, and 90.0 to 100.0% hardness.

[0034] The silica gel used in the present invention includes various silica gels, and preferably contains silicon oxide in an amount of 99% by mass or more, particularly 99.9% by mass or more. The silica gel may be a molded product. In addition to the above-described properties of the porous carrier, the silica gel preferably has an average particle size of 0.005 to 10 mm as measured by a scanning electron microscope, and a loss on drying of 10% or less.

[0035] Various zeolites can be used in the present invention, including, for example, LTA zeolite, FER zeolite, MWW zeolite, MFI zeolite, MOR zeolite, LTL zeolite, FAU zeolite, and BEA zeolite. The zeolite may be a molded body. In addition to the above-described properties of the porous carrier, the zeolite preferably has an average particle size of 0.01 to 15 mm as measured by a scanning electron microscope.

[0036] In the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, when two or more phosphine oxide compounds represented by the general formula (1) are supported on the porous carrier, the two or more phosphine oxide compounds may be supported in the form of a mixed liquid in which the two or more phosphine oxide compounds represented by the general formula (1) are mixed, or each of the two or more phosphine oxide compounds represented by the general formula (1) may be supported on a different part of the porous carrier. That is, for example, when two phosphine oxide compounds represented by the general formula (1) are supported on the porous carrier, the two phosphine oxide compounds represented by the general formula (1) may be mixed first, and the resulting mixed liquid may be incorporated into the pores of the porous carrier to be supported, or one of the two phosphine oxide compounds represented by the general formula (1) may be incorporated into the pores of the porous carrier first, and then the other phosphine oxide compound represented by the general formula (1) may be incorporated into the pores of the porous carrier to support the two phosphine oxide compounds represented by the general formula (1). The same applies to the case where three or more phosphine oxide compounds represented by the general formula (1) are supported on a porous carrier.

[0037] The impregnation rate (content) of the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) in the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is not particularly limited, but is preferably 5 to 60 mass %, more preferably 5 to 55 mass %, and particularly preferably 10 to 55 mass %, relative to the entire carbon dioxide absorbent. When the impregnation amount of the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) in the carbon dioxide absorbent is within the above range, the phosphine oxide compound is uniformly present on the inner surfaces of the pores of the porous support, allowing carbon dioxide to be efficiently absorbed.

[0038] In the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, a phosphine oxide compound capable of chemically adsorbing carbon dioxide and represented by general formula (1) is supported on a porous carrier. This enables the carbon dioxide absorbent to more efficiently absorb carbon dioxide when the temperature of the carbon dioxide absorbent is −20° C. or higher and 60° C. or lower, and also facilitates desorption of carbon dioxide, making it easy to regenerate the carbon dioxide absorbent.

[0039] The carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is present over the surface of a porous carrier having a large surface area, and therefore can increase the contact area between the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) and carbon dioxide, thereby increasing the carbon dioxide absorption efficiency of the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention.

[0040] The carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is in a form supported on a solid carrier, and therefore can be packed into a column or a reaction tower for use. When packed into a column or a reaction tower, the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention forms appropriate gaps, compared with a liquid carbon dioxide absorbent, and can therefore come into contact with carbon dioxide or a carbon dioxide-containing gas more efficiently.

[0041] The carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention can separate and recover carbon dioxide from a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide. The mixed gas is not particularly limited in terms of other components, as long as it contains carbon dioxide. Examples of other components include oxygen, nitrogen, carbon monoxide, nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, dinitrogen monoxide, dinitrogen trioxide, dinitrogen tetroxide, dinitrogen pentoxide, sulfur monoxide, sulfur dioxide, sulfur trioxide, phosphoric acid, sulfuric acid, nitric acid, hydrochloric acid, and water. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the mixed gas is not particularly limited, and may be a high concentration with a purity of approximately 100%, or a concentration similar to that present in the atmosphere.

[0042] The carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is useful as an absorbent for separating and capturing carbon dioxide from a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide emitted from, for example, power plants such as coal-fired power plants and natural gas-fired power plants, factories such as chemical plants, waste disposal sites and steelworks, and transportation equipment such as automobiles, aircraft and ships. It is also useful as an absorbent used in DAC (Direct Air Capture) devices that separate and capture carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere. In other words, the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention is suitable as a carbon dioxide absorbent used in various devices such as devices used in power plants, factories and transportation equipment, and DAC devices.

[0043] Next, a carbon dioxide separation method and a carbon dioxide separation and recovery method using the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention will be described.

[0044] The carbon dioxide separation method of the present invention is a carbon dioxide separation method characterized by comprising a carbon dioxide separation step (A) of contacting a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide with the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention to cause the carbon dioxide absorbent to absorb the carbon dioxide in the mixed gas, thereby separating carbon dioxide from the mixed gas.

[0045] The carbon dioxide separation and capture method of the present invention is a method for separating and capturing carbon dioxide, characterized by comprising: a carbon dioxide separation step (A) of bringing a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide into contact with the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention to cause the carbon dioxide absorbent to absorb the carbon dioxide in the mixed gas, thereby separating carbon dioxide from the mixed gas; and a carbon dioxide capture step (B) of heating the carbon dioxide absorbent that has absorbed carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide separation step at a temperature of 50°C or higher and 150°C or lower to desorb carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide absorbent that has absorbed the carbon dioxide, thereby regenerating the carbon dioxide absorbent and capturing the desorbed carbon dioxide.

[0046] In the carbon dioxide separation method of the present invention and the carbon dioxide separation and capture method of the present invention, the step of separating carbon dioxide from a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide is the carbon dioxide separation step (A) in both cases, and they are the same.

[0047] The carbon dioxide separation step (A) is a step of bringing a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide into contact with the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, thereby causing the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention to absorb carbon dioxide in the mixed gas.

[0048] The carbon dioxide separation step (A) may, for example, be a step of supplying a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide to an absorbent-packed column or absorbent-packed tower packed with the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, bringing the mixed gas into contact with the carbon dioxide absorbent, and allowing the carbon dioxide absorbent to absorb the carbon dioxide in the mixed gas, thereby separating carbon dioxide from the mixed gas. In this form of carbon dioxide separation step (A), the mixed gas is supplied to the absorbent-packed column or absorbent-packed tower, bringing the mixed gas into contact with the carbon dioxide absorbent, and the mixed gas after contact with the carbon dioxide absorbent in the absorbent-packed column or absorbent-packed tower is discharged from the absorbent-packed column or absorbent-packed tower. The method for packing the absorbent of the present invention into the absorbent-packed column or absorbent-packed tower is not particularly limited, and may be carried out under atmospheric pressure or reduced pressure.

[0049] The temperature of the carbon dioxide absorbent in the carbon dioxide separation step (A) is not limited as long as the carbon dioxide absorbent can exhibit its function, but is preferably −20° C. or higher and 60° C. or lower, particularly 0° C. or higher and 40° C. or lower, from the viewpoint of more efficient absorption of carbon dioxide.

[0050] The pressure (absolute pressure) in the carbon dioxide separation step (A) is not particularly limited, and the carbon dioxide separation step can be carried out under atmospheric pressure.

[0051] In the carbon dioxide separation step (A), a mixed gas containing carbon dioxide is brought into contact with the carbon dioxide absorbent, whereby the carbon dioxide in the mixed gas is absorbed by the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, and the carbon dioxide can be separated from the mixed gas. In the carbon dioxide separation step (A), a carbon dioxide absorbent having absorbed carbon dioxide is obtained.

[0052] The carbon dioxide separation and capture method of the present invention includes a carbon dioxide capture step (B) of regenerating the carbon dioxide absorbent that has absorbed carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide separation step and capturing carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide capture step (B) is a step of heating the carbon dioxide absorbent that has absorbed carbon dioxide in the carbon dioxide separation step (A) to desorb carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide absorbent that has absorbed carbon dioxide.

[0053] The carbon dioxide recovery step (B) may, for example, be a step in which, after the carbon dioxide separation step (A), the carbon dioxide absorbent packed in the absorbent-packed column or absorbent-packed tower is heated to regenerate the carbon dioxide absorbent and recover the desorbed carbon dioxide.

[0054] In the carbon dioxide recovery step (B), the heating temperature of the carbon dioxide absorbent is 50°C or higher and 150°C or lower, preferably 80°C or higher and 140°C or lower. Generally, the higher the heating temperature, the easier it is for carbon dioxide to be desorbed from the carbon dioxide absorbent that has absorbed carbon dioxide. In the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, carbon dioxide can be desorbed at a temperature of 50°C or higher and 150°C or lower, preferably 80°C or higher and 140°C or lower, and at a temperature equal to or higher than the temperature in the carbon dioxide separation step (A). For example, when the carbon dioxide absorbent is the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention, the heating temperature is preferably 80 to 120°C.

[0055] In the carbon dioxide recovery step (B), the pressure (absolute pressure) is not particularly limited, and the step may be performed under atmospheric pressure or under reduced pressure. When the step is performed under reduced pressure, the pressure (absolute pressure) is 85 kPa or less, preferably 60 kPa or less, from the viewpoint of preventing oxidation of the carbon dioxide absorbent, and more preferably 50 kPa or less, more preferably 10 kPa or less, and particularly preferably 4 kPa or less, from the viewpoint of efficiently desorbing carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide absorbent.

[0056] In the carbon dioxide separation and capture method of the present invention, the carbon dioxide separation step (A) and the carbon dioxide capture step (B) can be repeated two or more times by using the regenerated carbon dioxide absorbent obtained by performing the carbon dioxide capture step (B) as the carbon dioxide absorbent with which the mixed gas containing carbon dioxide is contacted in the carbon dioxide separation step (A). For example, when the carbon dioxide separation step (A) and the carbon dioxide capture step (B) are repeated twice, the steps are performed in the following order: "carbon dioxide separation step (A) → carbon dioxide capture step (B) → carbon dioxide separation step (A) → carbon dioxide capture step (B)". Then, the carbon dioxide separation step (A) and the carbon dioxide capture step (B) can be repeated as long as the carbon dioxide absorption performance is maintained.

[0057] In the carbon dioxide separation method and the carbon dioxide separation and capture method of the present invention, the carbon dioxide absorbent of the present invention containing the phosphine oxide compound represented by general formula (1) which has excellent chemical absorption properties is used for absorbing carbon dioxide, and therefore the efficiency of removing carbon dioxide from a mixed gas can be increased.

[0058] The carbon dioxide separation method and carbon dioxide separation and capture method of the present invention are suitably used when separating or separating and capturing carbon dioxide from a carbon dioxide-containing mixed gas emitted from, for example, power plants such as coal-fired power plants and natural gas-fired power plants, factories such as chemical plants, waste treatment facilities and steelworks, transportation equipment such as automobiles, aircraft and ships, etc. They are also suitably used when separating or separating and capturing carbon dioxide directly from the atmosphere, for example.

[0059] The present invention will be described in more detail below with reference to examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples.

[0060] Synthesis Example 1: Tris(3-aminopropyl)phosphine oxide A 1 L stainless steel autoclave equipped with a stirrer, thermometer, pressure pump, safety valve, and gas inlet tube was charged with 150 ml of toluene and 133 g (2.33 mol) of allylamine, and the autoclave was purged with nitrogen gas and vacuum three times. 22 g (0.65 mol) of 99.9% pure phosphine gas (manufactured by Nippon Chemical Industry Co., Ltd.) was then charged. At this time, the temperature was raised to 80°C using a hot water bath, and the gauge pressure was 0.93 MPa (absolute pressure 1.03 MPa). Next, 1.06 g (0.006 mol) of azobisisobutyronitrile was dissolved in 150 ml of toluene, and the mixture was injected in portions over 6 hours and aged overnight at 80°C. At this time, the gauge pressure was 0.01 MPa (absolute pressure 0.11 MPa). After overnight aging, the mixture was cooled to room temperature, the remaining gas was vented to a detoxification facility, and the system was further purged with nitrogen gas and vacuum. The liquid was then extracted into a vacuum-depressurized eggplant-shaped flask, yielding 585 g of a colorless, transparent liquid. The resulting colorless, transparent liquid was then heated under reduced pressure (gauge pressure 4 kPa (absolute pressure 105.3 kPa), 80°C) to distill off excess allylamine and toluene, and the vacuum and temperature were further increased to heat (gauge pressure 0.2 kPa (absolute pressure 101.5 kPa), 160°C). When the initial distillate began to appear, heating was stopped, and the residue was used as the product. The resulting product was cooled to room temperature and then purged with nitrogen gas, yielding 120 g of a colorless, transparent liquid. The NMR identification data for the resulting colorless, transparent liquid is as follows: (Identification Data) ３１ P-NMR (D ２ O); -29.73ppm １ H-NMR (D ２ O); 1.40 to 1.46 ppm (m, 6H, -CH ２ -), 1.52 to 1.61 ppm (m, 6H, P-CH ２ -), 2.63 to 2.71 ppm (m, 6H, -CH ２ -NH ２ ), 4.67ppm (s, 6H, -NH ２ As a result, it was confirmed to be tris(3-aminopropyl)phosphine.

[0061] Next, a 1 L four-neck flask equipped with a stirrer and a thermometer was purged with nitrogen gas, and 92.4 g (0.45 mol) of the obtained tris(3-aminopropyl)phosphine and 500 ml of pure water were charged, and 56.1 g (0.495 mol) of 30% hydrogen peroxide diluted with 100 ml of pure water was added dropwise over one hour while maintaining the temperature at 70 to 75°C. After the dropwise addition, the mixture was aged for one hour, cooled to room temperature, and concentrated under reduced pressure using an evaporator to remove water, yielding 100.8 g of a colorless, transparent liquid. The NMR identification data of the obtained colorless, transparent liquid is as follows. (Identification Data) ３１ P-NMR (D ２ O); 60.77ppm １ H-NMR (D ２ O); 1.50 to 1.58 ppm (m, 6H, -CH ２ -), 1.71 to 1.77 ppm (m, 6H, P-CH ２ -), 2.57 to 2.60 ppm (t, 6H, -CH ２ -NH ２ ), 4.70ppm (s, 6H, -NH ２ As a result, it was confirmed to be tris(3-aminopropyl)phosphine oxide.

[0062] Synthesis Example 2: Tributyl(3-aminopropyl)phosphonium β-alanine A glass column (inner diameter 65 mmφ × length 500 mm) was packed with 1500 ml of ion exchange resin (Amberlite IRA400J Cl, manufactured by Organo Corporation, exchange capacity 1.4 equivalents / resin volume L), and 1000 ml of an aqueous solution containing 80 g (2.0 mol) of sodium hydroxide was passed through the column from above at a rate of SV = 1.0 using a tube pump. Pure water was then passed through the column until the effluent became neutral. Next, an aqueous solution containing 140.0 g (0.41 mol) of tributyl(3-aminopropyl)phosphonium bromide in 500 ml of pure water was passed through the column from above at a rate of SV = 1.0, followed by 1000 ml of pure water, to obtain 1550 g of an aqueous solution of tributyl(3-aminopropyl)phosphonium hydroxide. Neutralization titration with 1 / 10N hydrochloric acid titrant revealed a concentration of 6.5% and a yield of 89.0%. 10.7 g (0.12 mol) of β-alanine was dissolved at room temperature in 500 g (0.12 mol) of the obtained aqueous solution of tributyl(3-aminopropyl)phosphonium hydroxide. The obtained mixed aqueous solution was concentrated under reduced pressure using an evaporator, and the concentrated solution was mixed with methanol to form a methanol solution, which was dehydrated overnight over anhydrous magnesium sulfate. The dehydrated methanol solution was then concentrated under reduced pressure using an evaporator to obtain 41.4 g (crude yield 99.0%) of a colorless, transparent viscous liquid with a viscosity (25°C) of 288 cP. The NMR identification data of the obtained colorless, transparent viscous liquid is as follows: (Identification Data) ３１ P-NMR; 34.34ppm １ H-NMR; 0.80 ppm (t,9H,-CH ３ ), 1.31 to 1.45 ppm (m, 12H, -CH ２ -), 1.54 to 1.59 ppm (m, 2H, -CH ２ -) 2.03 to 2.08 ppm (m, 8H, P-CH ２ -), 2.19 ppm (t, 2H, -CH ２ -COO),2.58,2.69ppm(t,2H,-CH ２ -NH ２ ), 3.20, 3.21 ppm (s, -NH ２ As a result, it was confirmed to be tributyl(3-aminopropyl)phosphonium.beta.-alanine.

The added water was completely distilled off by concentration under reduced pressure using an evaporator, yielding 108.9 g of a carbon dioxide absorbent in which tris(3-aminopropyl)phosphine oxide was impregnated onto silica gel. The impregnation rate of tris(3-aminopropyl)phosphine oxide relative to the total mass of the carbon dioxide absorbent was 35.0 mass%.
