The present invention may be embodied in many other forms than described herein and similarly modified by those skilled in the art without departing from the spirit of the invention, whereby the invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below. The technical features of the embodiments of the invention can be combined correspondingly on the premise of no mutual conflict.
In the description of the present invention, it will be understood that when an element is referred to as being "connected" to another element, it can be directly connected to the other element or be indirectly connected with intervening elements present. In contrast, when an element is referred to as being "directly connected" to another element, there are no intervening elements present.
In the description of the present invention, it should be understood that the terms "first" and "second" are used solely for the purpose of distinguishing between the descriptions and not necessarily for the purpose of indicating or implying a relative importance or implicitly indicating the number of features indicated. Thus, a feature defining "a first" or "a second" may explicitly or implicitly include at least one such feature.
In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, as shown in fig. 1, there is provided a Mars surface carbon dioxide capturing and converting system, which includes a Mars atmospheric pipe 1, a low temperature cut-off valve 2, a filter 3, a low temperature fan 4, a rotary adsorber 5, a rotary adsorption passage 6, a rotary desorption passage 7, a seal cover 8, a regeneration gas pipe 9, a constant pressure valve 10, a condenser 11, a water collector 12, a compressor 13, a mixer 14, a gas mixture pipe 15, an electric heater 16, a Sabatier reactor 17, a loop heat pipe 18, a loop heat pipe evaporation section 19, a loop heat pipe insulation section 20, a loop heat pipe condensation section 21, and a power line 22.
Wherein the rotary adsorber 5 is an adsorption-desorption device in which an adsorbent is disposed on the rotary wheel. The wheel may be designed in the form of a honeycomb wheel to increase its specific surface area. The flow-through channels of the rotary adsorber 5 comprise a rotary adsorption channel 6 and a rotary desorption channel 7, the rotary being largely located in the rotary adsorption channel 6 and the other being located in the rotary desorption channel 7. The runner adsorber 5 makes the runner adsorbing water and carbon dioxide gas reciprocally revolve between the runner adsorbing channel 6 and the runner desorbing channel 7 by continuously rotating, so that the adsorption and desorption regeneration are synchronously performed. In actual operation, the gas enters the runner, is adsorbed by the adsorbent in the runner adsorption channel 6 and is discharged into the atmosphere, and when the runner part adsorbed with the target component is rotated to the runner desorption channel 7, the adsorbed target component can be desorbed from the runner again in a heating mode, so that the enrichment of the target component is realized. In order to ensure that the target components resolved in the rotating wheel desorption channel 7 can be collected, a sealing cover 8 for isolating the external atmosphere and the rotating wheel desorption channel 7 is arranged outside the rotating wheel desorption channel 7, and the desorbed target components enter the sealing cover 8 to prevent the external spark atmosphere from affecting the purity of the desorption gas of the rotating wheel adsorber. In the invention, the target component absorbed by the rotating wheel is carbon dioxide in Mars atmosphere, but part of water is absorbed at the same time, so that the absorbing material filled in the rotating wheel can be silica gel or zeolite 13X and other absorbing agents to increase the absorbing capacity of carbon dioxide.
The Sabatier reactor 17 was a reactor using Sabatier reaction Sabatier reaction. The specific structure of the reactor is not limited and may be implemented using any such reactor in the prior art. The Sabatier reaction is a non-exothermic reaction. In general, in order to avoid adverse effects of the low temperature of the Mars atmosphere on the Sabatier reaction, the Sabatier reactor 17 may be externally coated with a heat insulating material, and the internal reaction chamber is filled with a catalyst, and the catalyst may be an existing catalyst capable of catalyzing the Sabatier reaction.
In addition, in order to analyze carbon dioxide and water adsorbed on the rotor in the rotor desorption passage 7, heat needs to be input into the rotor desorption passage 7. In the present invention, since the Sabatier reactor 17 generates heat, which is disadvantageous for improving the conversion efficiency of the Sabatier reaction, the heat in the Sabatier reactor 17 can be transferred to the rotor desorption channel 7 by providing a heat pipe. The invention may be provided with a loop heat pipe 18 for connecting the Sabatier reactor 17 and the rotor desorption channel 7. The loop heat pipe 18 is formed by connecting a loop heat pipe evaporation section 19, a loop heat pipe insulation section 20 and a loop heat pipe condensation section 21, and the principle of the heat pipe can be seen in the prior art, and the description thereof is omitted.
In addition, the invention also utilizes the low temperature characteristic of Mars atmosphere to design a condenser 11 to cool down the carbon dioxide and the water vapor so as to separate the water and the carbon dioxide. The condenser 11 has a first passage for heat exchange, which passes through the mixed gas of carbon dioxide and water vapor desorbed by the rotary adsorber 5, and a second passage for spark atmosphere. The average temperature of the Mars atmosphere is about 216K, and the temperature can be used as a cold source to cool the mixed gas of carbon dioxide and water vapor, so that the water vapor is condensed into liquid drops so as to be separated from the mixed gas. In the invention, the condenser 11 can be a fin-tube heat exchanger.
The inlet end of the Mars atmosphere pipeline 1 is directly exposed to Mars atmosphere and is used for introducing Mars atmosphere, and the Mars atmosphere pipeline 1 is sequentially communicated with the low-temperature stop valve 2, the filter 3, the low-temperature fan 4 and the rear outlet end of the runner adsorption channel 6 of the runner adsorber 5 to be exhausted, so that water and carbon dioxide gas in the Mars atmosphere introduced into the Mars atmosphere pipeline 1 are adsorbed and trapped by the adsorbent on the runner in the runner adsorption channel 6.
In the present invention, the filter 3 is used to remove dust in the Mars atmosphere, and may be a filter dust removing device, a cyclone dust removing device, or an electrostatic dust removing device. In view of the reliability of dust removal and dust removal efficiency, the filter 3 preferably removes dust from the raw gas by electrostatic dust removal.
In the present invention, the function of the cryogenic fan 4 is to power the input of the Mars atmosphere. As the day-night temperature difference of the Mars atmosphere is up to 80K, the temperature change range in summer is about 185K-244K, the temperature change range in winter is about 172K-252K, and the temperature in most time periods is lower than the low-temperature starting limit of a common fan, the low-temperature fan type capable of tolerating the atmospheric temperature of the Mars is needed.

The constant pressure valve 10 arranged at the outlet of the sealing cover 8 is a valve component capable of being opened under a set pressure, and when the pressure in the pipe exceeds a pressure set value after the valve is arranged on the pipeline, the valve is opened for pressure relief, otherwise, the valve is kept closed, so that the output gas pressure is ensured. The opening pressure of the constant pressure valve 10 is a pressure set value which can be optimally adjusted according to the actual gas consumption or gas outlet pressure, the constant pressure valve 10 automatically controls the opening and closing state according to the pressure in the sealing cover 8, the constant pressure valve is in a closed state when the pressure is lower than the pressure set value, the sealing cover 8 is continuously pressurized, the constant pressure valve is in an open state when the pressure is higher than the pressure set value, and the regenerated gas in the sealing cover 8 is discharged into the regenerated gas pipeline 9.
In addition, any device capable of separating liquid water droplets from carbon dioxide gas may be used as the water collector 12 in the present invention, and liquid water may be obtained, for example, by centrifugal separation or a water blocking screen, so that the water collector 12 may employ a centrifugal separation water removing device or a screen water blocking device. In the centrifugal separation dewatering equipment, carbon dioxide gas carrying liquid water drops is rotated to form centrifugal force for throwing the liquid drops to the inner wall of the equipment, and a plurality of screens with fine pore diameters are arranged on an airflow channel in the screen water-blocking equipment, wherein the pore diameters of the screens are smaller than the conventional size of the liquid drops. Thereby, the regenerated gas forms carbon dioxide gas carrying liquid water drops after passing through the condenser 11, and high-purity carbon dioxide can be formed after the liquid drops are separated from the regenerated gas through the water collector 12. The high purity carbon dioxide is pressurized by the compressor 13 so that the pressure in the mixer 14 can meet the pressure required for the subsequent Sabatier reaction.
The inlet end of the gas mixture pipeline 15 is used for introducing hydrogen, and the pipeline is sequentially connected with the mixer 14, the electric heater 16 and the Sabatier reactor 17, so that the carbon dioxide and the hydrogen react to generate product gas. The reaction cavity of the Sabatier reactor 17 is divided into a first half section and a second half section, and the second half section of the reaction cavity of the Sabatier reactor 17 is connected with the runner adsorption channel 6 through a loop heat pipe 18 for conducting reaction heat in the Sabatier reactor 17 to the runner desorption channel 7 for regeneration and desorption.

The heat conducting structure in the rotating wheel desorption channel 7 is various, for example, a high heat conducting unit can be arranged on the rotating wheel, and the high heat conducting unit can exchange heat with the loop heat pipe condensation section 21 in the rotating wheel desorption channel 7 with high efficiency when the rotating wheel rotates.
In the present invention, the electric heater 16 functions to heat the mixed gas of carbon dioxide and hydrogen to the start-up temperature of the Sabatier reaction before feeding the mixed gas into the Sabatier reactor 17. Wind power generation and solar power generation may be provided to provide the electric heater 16 with the required power in consideration of environmental conditions on the Mars.
