The composite amine aqueous solution is also used for removing acidic impurities by a liquid phase method, the carbon dioxide content of the purified mixed gas is only reduced to 0.03-0.80 vol%, water is also added into the product gas, and the operation burden of a downstream dryer is increased.

Wherein the adsorption tower 10 comprises:
A tower 101;
a support grid 102 and a compression grid 103 transversely spaced within the tower body;
an adsorbent 104 filled between the support grid 102 and the compaction grid 103 to form an adsorbent bed 10b;
an input pipe 105, wherein the input pipe 105 extends downwards from the top end of the tower body 101 and is inserted into the adsorbent bed 10 b;
The first output pipe 106, the first output pipe 106 extends out of the tower 101 from the upper end of the adsorbent bed 10 b;
A second output pipe 107, the second output pipe 107 extends outside the column 101 from below the adsorbent bed 10 b;
And a cooling tube 108, the cooling tube 108 being coiled below the adsorbent bed 10b of the column 101 to form the low temperature zone 10a.
For typical plant scale operations, embodiments of the present application provide 2 adsorption units such that at any given time one adsorption unit will be regenerated while the other two adsorption units in parallel will be contacted with an olefin-containing feed stream. With the first adsorption unit in contact with the olefin-containing feed stream saturated with CO 2 (as evidenced by CO 2 in the effluent of the first adsorption unit), the second adsorption unit in reserve will become the primary bed in contact with the olefin-containing feed stream; the newly regenerated adsorption unit will be put into production as a backup and the saturation unit will be treated under suitable regeneration conditions.
In some embodiments, the adsorbent material is selected from the following types of framework structured zeolites :AFT、AFX、DAC、EMT、EUO、IMF、ITH、ITT、KFI、LAU、MFS、MRE、MTT、MWW、NES、PAU、RRO、SFF、STF、STI、SZR、TER、TON、TSC、TUN、VFI and combinations thereof; the zeolite has a silicon to aluminum element ratio of 100.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 9 and 10, the adsorption tower 10 further includes:
The gas flow absorbed by the membrane module 109 via the adsorbent bed 10b is filtered by the membrane module 109, and carbon dioxide can be further blocked in the adsorption tower 10.
In some embodiments, as shown in fig. 10, the membrane assemblies 109 are disposed above and below the adsorbent bed 10b, so that carbon dioxide can be blocked between the two membrane assemblies 109 and concentrated in the adsorbent bed 10b, which is beneficial to fully adsorbing carbon dioxide in the adsorbent bed, improving the adsorption rate of the carbon dioxide, avoiding the carbon dioxide flowing out of the first output pipe 106 or the second output pipe 107, reducing the load of the downstream adsorption process or avoiding the carbon dioxide from being mixed into the product. The membrane module is capable of amplifying other gas molecules while preventing the passage of carbon dioxide, and the gas re-diffusion rate may be a function of the membrane area used and the difference in carbon dioxide concentration along the one or more membranes. The membrane component is made of a material selected from polydimethylsiloxane, poly 3-methyl-1-pentene or polyethersulfone or polyimide.
In each adsorption tower 10 of one adsorption unit 1, the product gas containing carbon dioxide is directly fed into the adsorbent bed 10b via the input pipe 105, so that the flow path of the product gas is reduced, the carbon dioxide is directly absorbed by the adsorption material, and the adsorption efficiency is improved. Through the diffusion of the product gas, the main component thereof enters the low temperature region at the bottom through the diffusion, and is advantageously adsorbed in the adsorbent bed 10b of the next stage of the adsorption tower 10 of the same adsorption unit. Engineering experiments show that the aspect ratio of the adsorbent bed 10b provided by the embodiment of the application is 2-3.5:1, the operating temperature is-20-100 ℃, and the operating pressure is 0.4-2.0 MPa; the adsorption towers 10b of each adsorption unit are connected in series upstream and downstream, and preferably the number of the adsorption towers in each adsorption unit is 2. And in each adsorption unit, the temperature of the low temperature region of the adsorption tower 10 is sequentially lowered, for example, the temperature of the low temperature region of the adsorption tower 10 of the first stage is controlled to-25 to 0 ℃, the temperature of the low temperature region of the adsorption tower 10 of the middle stage is controlled to-25 to 35 ℃, and the temperature of the low temperature region of the adsorption tower 10 of the last stage is controlled to-50 to-40 ℃, more preferably-50 to 47.7 ℃.
In each adsorption tower 10 of one adsorption unit 1, after the product gas containing carbon dioxide is adsorbed by the multi-stage adsorbent bed 10, the carbon dioxide is adsorbed or blocked by the membrane module 109. And the top gas flow flowing out of the second output pipe 107 is combined into the next adsorption unit 1, so that part of carbon dioxide in the top gas flow is adsorbed or blocked again, and the carbon dioxide is fully removed.
In some embodiments, to prevent the top gas stream exiting the second output conduit 107 from exiting, the exiting line may be passed through one or more heat exchangers so that it becomes gaseous, thereby facilitating its flow.
