Conventionally, liquefied carbonic acid was produced by compressing purified carbon dioxide gas to 10 to 20 kg/cm 2 and cooling it to -20 to -40°C. In this case, if the latent heat during vaporization of LNG is used for cooling as in the present invention, it is natural that it can be produced at a lower cost compared to conventional refrigeration cycles such as ammonia or fluorocarbon gas, but carbon dioxide Power costs for compressing gas are still high. Therefore, the present applicant previously filed an application in Japanese Patent Application No. 52-3168 (Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 53-88692) for an apparatus for producing liquefied carbonic acid that does not require a compression process using a compressor.

However, the former requires a large-capacity compressor and consumes a large amount of mechanical energy, so it is still costly, while the latter requires a considerably larger device and wastes both heating energy and cooling energy. There were many aspects to this method, and it could not be called a perfect method.

In addition, there is a method using low-temperature trichlene as a solvent as described in Japanese Patent Publication No. 52-28752, but this method requires changing the equipment to melt the ice, and due to the nature of the solvent, even a small amount of dry ice may be generated. This process is undesirable and requires strict temperature and pressure control, making the operation complicated, and the process may cause toxicity problems due to the possibility of solvent being mixed into the liquefied carbonic acid. are doing.

The gist of the present invention is to absorb carbon dioxide as a raw material into a low-temperature organic solvent at a pressure below the triple point, condense it in this organic solvent, and separate the liquid by pumping it to a pressure fractionation column at a pressure above the triple point. to stay. Furthermore, the method for producing liquefied carbonic acid is characterized in that part of the organic solvent is diverted and water is separated from the system by rectification. During the absorption, some dry ice is generated due to the low temperature, and there is no problem even if this becomes suspended in the liquid.

To give a concrete example, feedstock carbon dioxide gas is introduced into an absorption tower equipped with a cooler, and the latent heat of vaporization of LNG is used at a pressure below the triple point (normally the feedstock carbon dioxide remains) to -70 to -80 It is brought into countercurrent contact with methanol cooled to below ℃ to absorb carbon dioxide gas into methanol. At this time, it is acceptable even if a small amount of dry ice is generated. This absorption liquid is sent under pressure to a pressure fractionation column and heated to a temperature around 0 to 10°C under pressure above the triple point to separate and purify it into methanol and carbon dioxide gas,
Liquefied carbonic acid is continuously produced by recycling the regenerated methanol to the absorption tower.

Therefore, the raw material gas only needs to be pre-cooled to a temperature just before freezing and the drain is cut off, and the complicated dehydration process of repeatedly freezing and thawing as in the past can be omitted, which is also an advantage of the present invention. This is an excellent point.

The raw carbon dioxide gas containing 98% CO2 with a dew point of 2℃ is LN.
The gas enters a packed tower 2 equipped with a cooler 1 according to G. G. and capable of good gas-liquid contact, and as the gas rises, it comes into countercurrent contact with methanol cooled to -80°C flowing down from above. Methanol that has absorbed carbon dioxide gas is pumped to pump 3 where it is pumped to a pressure above the triple point, e.g. 6
The pressurized fractionator 5 is pressurized to Kg/cm 2 G, then preheated by exchanging heat with the regenerated methanol exiting the pressure fractionator 5 in the heat exchanger 4, and equipped with a heating device 6 at the bottom. It is sent to the middle row of. Like the absorption tower 2, the pressure fractionating tower 5 is, for example, a packed tower, and is pressurized to, for example, 6 kg/cm 2 G and heated to 5° C. to rectify carbon dioxide gas and regenerate methanol. Since this temperature level can be selected to be low, the amount of heat held by water, the atmosphere, etc. can be used as the heat source. The carbon dioxide gas exiting the pressurized fractionator 5 is cooled and liquefied by a refrigerant such as LNG in a condenser 7. Simultaneously with absorption of carbon dioxide gas, impurity gas dissolved in methanol is separated in a reflux condenser 8 and discharged outside the mold. On the other hand, a part of the liquefied carbon dioxide (liquefied carbonic acid) is extracted as a product and sent to the liquefied carbonic acid storage tank 9, and the other part is refluxed to the pressurized fractionator 5 again for rectification of carbon dioxide gas.

Regenerated methanol is extracted from the bottom of the pressurized fractionator 5, passes through a heat exchanger 4 with methanol that has absorbed carbon dioxide gas, and a cooler 13 in which a refrigerant such as LNG is circulated, and is then used to operate the absorption tower 2. Temperature -
It is cooled to 70 DEG C. to -80 DEG C. and returned to the absorption tower 2, during which time it is partially washed away and sent to the middle stage of a rectification tower 11 equipped with a heating device 10 at the bottom. The rectifying column 11 is composed of, for example, a tray column, and is heated by a heating device 10 to separate and purify methanol and water. Methanol discharged from the upper part of the rectification column 11 is cooled and liquefied in a condenser. A part of it is returned to the absorption tower 2 via the cooler 13, while the rest is refluxed to the rectification tower 11 again.

As an example of implementation, when 0.2 Kg/cm 2 G of raw carbon dioxide gas was used, the electric power required to produce 1 T of liquefied carbonic acid according to the present invention was about 7 KWH. (In the case of the conventional method, the electric power is usually 70 to 150 KWH.) When liquefied carbonic acid is produced by implementing the present invention, the following effects are obtained.

(1) Liquefied carbonic acid is used for food products such as food freezing and soft drinks.
Although there is a problem of toxicity when triclene is used as in the invention described in the above, this problem can be easily avoided in the present invention. (For example, using ethanol) (2) If a non-hydrophilic solvent such as trichlene is used as a solvent, freezing will occur in the system, and it is necessary to change the equipment to thaw the ice and take the ice out of the system, but in the case of the present invention Since water can be continuously separated by extracting a portion of the solvent and rectifying it, stable operation is easy.
