Background
With the continuous development and progress of human society, after entering the industrial civilization, the use of a large amount of fossil fuels (such as coal, petroleum and the like) leads to the use of CO 2 The major greenhouse gas emissions increase dramatically. With the world to the wholeThe climate change of the ball is gradually emphasized, and a series of carbon emission plans such as carbon peak reaching, carbon neutralization and the like gradually fall to the ground.
The Carbon Capture Utilization and Sequestration (CCUS) technology is an important technical means for coping with global climate change and controlling greenhouse gas emission. By treating CO discharged during the production process 2 And (5) carrying out trapping and purification, and then putting the mixture into a new production process for recycling and sealing. At present, research institutions and enterprises at home and abroad capture CO in energy systems 2 The field is subjected to a great deal of research and practice, and CO on a large industrial scale is successfully established 2 Exemplary items are captured.
The research on the CCUS technology in the power industry is mainly focused on coal-fired power plants. CO of coal-fired power plant 2 The trapping and separating method mainly comprises the steps of trapping after combustion, trapping before combustion and oxygen-enriched combustion. Post combustion CO 2 The trapping technology is mainly divided into three categories: absorption, adsorption and membrane processes, of which chemical absorption is one of the most widely used post-combustion capture technologies in power plants. The chemical absorption process is a method for separating the components which are easily dissolved in the absorbent in the gas phase by utilizing the chemical absorbent and through the selectivity of chemical reaction, and is suitable for separating low-concentration CO 2 The method can be carried out under normal pressure, has less modification on the existing equipment of the power plant, has stronger adaptability to load change, mature technology and the like. CO removal by chemical absorption process 2 The essence is to utilize the CO in the alkaline absorbent solution and the flue gas 2 Chemical reaction to form unstable salt, which can be reversely desorbed to release CO under certain conditions (such as heating) 2 Thereby achieving the purpose of introducing CO 2 The purpose of separating and enriching from the flue gas.
CO 2 The capture system process flow is generally as follows: part or all of the desulfurized, denitrated and dedusted flue gas enters the absorption tower from the lower part of the absorption tower through a flue gas cooler and is in countercurrent contact with absorbent barren solution entering the absorption tower from the top of the absorption tower to carry out absorption reaction (the temperature is usually 40-60 ℃), and CO is absorbed 2 Dissolved in the absorbent, and the treated flue gas is discharged from the top of the absorption tower. Absorption of CO 2 The rich liquid is pumped from the bottom of the absorption tower by a rich liquid pump to a lean/rich liquid heat exchanger, and the rich liquid is supplied to the lean/rich liquid heat exchangerThe barren liquor discharged from a barren liquor pump at the bottom of the regeneration tower exchanges heat and is heated, then the barren liquor is sent to the top of the regeneration tower to react with the steam rising in the regeneration tower, and CO is desorbed 2 To obtain reabsorbable CO 2 The lean solution of (4); the regenerated absorbent reaches the bottom of the regeneration tower, is heated by heat provided by a reboiler, is sent to a barren liquor pump, reaches the temperature level of the absorption tower through a barren/rich liquor heat exchanger and a cooler, and enters the absorption tower for continuous absorption.
Currently, the most widely used absorbents in chemical absorption are the alcamines. The alcohol amine method is especially suitable for the low CO with complex components 2 Partial pressure and low CO 2 Decarbonizing the power plant flue gas with concentration. The alcohol amine method is relatively simple in design and operation, high in absorption efficiency and stable in absorption performance, can be used for strengthening the process through various auxiliary solvents or flow optimization, is relatively mature in technology, and is rich in experience in commercial application practice of power plants. But now CO 2 The absorption rich solution mainly adopts a thermal desorption mode to realize the regeneration of the absorbent, the desorption energy consumption is overlarge, and the absorption rich solution occupies the function of capturing CO 2 70-80% of the process. The corresponding equipment corrosion leads to a further increase in the capture costs. Controlling the process to capture CO 2 First, the cost of CO reduction 2 The desorption energy consumption is started, and CO is optimized 2 A trapping absorption-desorption process. Therefore, the development of the method can greatly reduce the CO content in the flue gas 2 The energy consumption of the trapping process has wide application prospect.

On the premise of solving the problems of corrosion, degradation and the like of the high-concentration absorbent, the energy-saving absorbent has the obvious energy-saving advantage.
The heat pump is a heating device for transferring heat energy from a low-temperature heat source to a high-temperature heat source, can convert the low-temperature heat energy into the high-temperature heat energy, improves the effective utilization rate of the energy, and can realize the recovery of low-temperature waste heat. In the embodiment, a mechanical vapor recompression heat pump technology (MVR heat pump technology) is adopted, and a low-quality barren solution is changed into high-quality steam through a flash evaporation compression process to provide heat for a desorption process, and the insufficient part is provided by a reboiler.
The two-phase absorbent (A + B) used in this example consists of two CO species of different type and ratio 2 Absorbent A and absorbent B. Assuming absorption of CO 2 After then, CO 2 One phase with large load capacity mainly consists of an absorbent B and is called pregnant solution; CO 2 2 The phase with the smaller loading is composed mainly of absorbent a and is called barren liquor. As shown in FIG. 1, in CO 2 In the trapping process, flue gas of a thermal power plant passes through environmental protection equipment of a power plant and then passes through a flue gas cooler, the temperature of the flue gas is cooled to 40-60 ℃, and then the flue gas enters an absorption tower from the bottom and is in countercurrent contact with an absorbent (A + B) barren solution entering from the top of the absorption tower. The pressure in the absorption tower is normal pressure, and the initial temperature of the absorbent is 40 ℃. CO 2 2 Dissolved in the absorbent, and the decarbonized flue gas is discharged from the top of the absorption tower. Absorption of CO 2 And pumping the rich liquid of the absorbent (A + B) from the bottom of the absorption tower by a high-pressure pump, and introducing the rich liquid of the absorbent (A + B) and the desorbed lean liquid of the absorbent (B) into a phase separator after heat exchange in a lean-rich liquid heat exchanger. The end difference of the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger is 5-15 ℃, and the temperature of the (A + B) rich liquid after passing through the heat exchanger is about 95 ℃. The rich solution of the absorbent (A + B) is subjected to phase separation in a phase separator, CO 2 The lean solution A with small load capacity is mixed with the lean solution B after desorption and heat exchange, and the mixture is directly returned to the absorption tower, and only CO is used 2 And carrying out subsequent regeneration process on the B rich solution with large loading capacity.
According to different compositions of the absorbent, the water content of the B rich solution after phase separation is 20% -50%, and the B rich solution enters a forward osmosis device through a rich solution pump for further dehydration and concentration. The forward osmosis device adopts an ammonium bicarbonate system to draw liquid (NH) 4 HCO 3 -NH 4 OH mixed solution) with a concentration ratio of 1.5-2.0 to the absorbent. And the B rich solution is further concentrated by a forward osmosis device and then sent to the top of a regeneration tower for thermal desorption. The operating pressure of the regeneration tower is 1.2 bar-2 bar, the gas phase temperature of the outlet at the top of the tower is 100 ℃, the liquid phase at the outlet at the bottom of the tower is 115 ℃, and the lean liquid CO is desorbed 2 The load was 0.25mol CO 2 Per mol of amine. As the rich solution is further concentrated, the water content of the solvent is reduced, and CO is generated 2 The equilibrium partial pressure is improved, and the driving force of mass transfer of rich liquor regeneration is strengthened, so that the latent heat of vaporization and the sensible heat of evaporation of the solvent water in the regeneration process are reduced. Meanwhile, after the rich liquid is further concentrated, the flow of the rich liquid entering the regeneration tower is correspondingly reduced, the temperature of the rich liquid at the inlet of the regeneration tower can be increased, and the waste heat recovery is enhanced.
And enabling the desorbed B barren solution to enter a flash tank of the MVR heat pump system for flash evaporation, wherein the flash evaporation temperature is 90 ℃. Because the pressure in the flash tower is reduced, a large amount of liquid is instantaneously gasified, a large amount of steam (secondary steam) is generated, and the latent heat of vaporization of the liquid is converted into the sensible heat of the gas to be extracted. The gasified liquid flows out from the bottom of the flash tank under the action of self gravity, passes through the lean-rich liquid heat exchanger and then is mixed with the lean liquid A to return to the absorption tower. And the secondary steam generated in the flash tank is pressurized by the compressor to be changed into gas with the temperature of 120-130 ℃, and the gas enters the desorption tower to heat and desorb the B-enriched liquid, so that the load of a reboiler is reduced.
The (a + B) absorbent may be DEEA + BDA, DEEA + MAPA, DEEA + MEA, DMAC + DETA, or the like.
The invention has the following technical effects:
1) by using a two-phase absorbent and additionally arranging a forward osmosis device in front of the regeneration tower, part of solvent is removed in advance through forward osmosis before the rich solution enters a thermal desorption process, so that the rich solution is further concentrated. The water content of the solvent is reduced after concentration, and CO is 2 The equilibrium partial pressure is increased and,the driving force of mass transfer of rich liquor regeneration is strengthened, so that the latent heat of vaporization and the sensible heat of evaporation of the solvent water in the regeneration process are reduced. Meanwhile, after the rich liquid is further concentrated, the flow of the rich liquid entering the regeneration tower is correspondingly reduced, the temperature of the rich liquid at the inlet of the regeneration tower can be increased, and the waste heat recovery is enhanced.
