Description

Variable density packed bed system and method for capturing low-temperature carbon
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon dioxide trapping, and particularly relates to a variable density packed bed system and a trapping method for low-temperature carbon trapping.
Background
Currently, CO 2 The trapping technology mainly comprises the following steps: absorption, adsorption, membrane separation and cryogenic separation. Compared with other methods, the low-temperature separation method utilizes the phase transition temperature difference between gas components to realize the separation of CO 2 Physical removal is carried out, the system does not involve chemical reaction during operation, and the trapped CO 2 The product has higher purity, does not cause secondary pollution to the environment, and has the advantages of long service life, high reliability and the like.
The low-temperature separation method can be classified into a desublimation separation method and a liquefaction separation method according to the phase change process. CO 2 Is 216.55K, the three-phase pressure is 0.518MPa, the critical point temperature is 304.25K, and the critical point pressure is 7.38MPa. The liquefaction separation method adopts a compression and condensation method to trap liquid products and combines CO 2 As can be seen from the phase diagram data, this method generally requires the CO to be processed 2 Compressed to a higher pressure. And CO 2 The sublimation phase change can occur under normal pressure, the trapping is completed in a solid form, compression equipment is not required to be introduced, and the operation energy consumption is low, so that the method has a wider application prospect.
The Chinese patent publication No. CN 114087897A discloses a desublimation heat exchanger for capturing low-temperature carbon and a working method thereof, wherein a coolant is introduced into the heat exchanger to pre-cool the heat exchanger, and CO 2 De-sublimation occurs in the heat exchanger, and the reciprocating motion of the linear sliding rail assembly drives the magnet assembly on the heat exchanger body to move, so that the scraper assembly moves back and forth under the action of magnetic force to scrape CO 2 Frost crystal, but equipment damage is easily caused by a mechanical scraping mode, the service life of a system is reduced, when carbon capture is carried out on multi-component mixed gas, purge replacement is not carried out on gas which does not undergo phase change, and residual gas and CO are not carried out 2 The frost crystals enter the collection area together, resulting in a reduced product purity.
Chinese patent publication No. CN 213668629U discloses a boiler low-temperature cooling carbon capturing system, in which a cooling medium circulation pipeline is arranged in a low-temperature cooler, and flue gas is cooled and desublimated in the cooler after desulfurization and denitrification treatment, and CO 2 The heat exchange with the cooling medium is carried out by dividing wall type through the pipeline, and the heat exchange is increasedAnd the heat exchanger is designed to meet the size requirement, the system needs to be continuously cooled in the running process, and the system is difficult to be applied to an industrial cold energy recovery scene of intermittent cooling.
Foreign scholars propose a design of adopting a packed bed to carry out low-temperature desublimation carbon trapping, and carry out analysis and research from the aspects of operation energy consumption and economy, but the packed bed system disclosed so far adopts fillers with uniform size, and the arrangement mode of the internal fillers is not considered by combining the frost front migration behavior in the desublimation trapping process, so that the current packed bed system has larger flow resistance in operation and has the risk of frost accumulation and freeze blocking.
In summary, the prior art mainly has the following disadvantages: the system for capturing the sublimated carbon by adopting the dividing wall type heat exchange increases the design size requirement of the heat exchanger, and the requirement of continuous cooling is difficult to be effectively matched with an intermittent cold source; the packing arrangement in the packed bed system adopting contact heat exchange does not consider the migration behavior of frost front, and the risk of freezing and blocking exists; the mechanical defrosting means is easy to cause equipment damage and reduce the service life of the system; meanwhile, the current desublimation carbon trapping system lacks a perfect purging method which can carry out displacement purging on residual impurity gas in heat exchange equipment, so as to lead to trapped CO 2 The purity of the product is reduced.
