SOLUTION ABSORBANTE CONTENANT UN INHIBITEUR DE DÉGRADATION SOUFRÉ DÉRIVÉ D'UN ABSORBENT SOLUTION CONTAINING A SOFT DEGRADATION INHIBITOR DERIVED FROM A
ACIDE AMINÉ ET MÉTHODE POUR LIMITER LA DÉGRADATION D'UNE SOLUTION ABSORBANTEAMINO ACID AND METHOD FOR LIMITING DEGRADATION OF AN ABSORBENT SOLUTION
La présente invention concerne le domaine de la désacidification d'un effluent gazeux. Plus précisément la présente invention propose des composés pour réduire la dégradation d'une solution absorbante mise en oeuvre pour absorber les composés acides contenus dans un effluent gazeux, la solution - absorbante comportant des aminés en solution aqueuse.The present invention relates to the field of the deacidification of a gaseous effluent. More specifically, the present invention provides compounds for reducing the degradation of an absorbent solution used to absorb the acidic compounds contained in a gaseous effluent, the absorbent solution comprising amines in aqueous solution.
La désacidification des effluents gazeux, tels que par exemple le gaz naturel et les fumées de combustion, est généralement réalisée par lavage par une solution absorbante. La solution absorbante permet d'absorber les composés acides présents dans l'effluent gazeux (H2S1 mercaptans, CO2, COS, SO2, CS2).The deacidification of gaseous effluents, such as, for example, natural gas and combustion fumes, is generally carried out by washing with an absorbent solution. The absorbent solution makes it possible to absorb the acid compounds present in the gaseous effluent (H 2 S 1 mercaptans, CO 2 , COS, SO 2 , CS 2 ).
La désacidification de ces effluents, notamment la décarbonatation et la désulfuration, impose des contraintes spécifiques à la solution absorbante, en particulier une stabilité thermique et chimique notamment face aux impuretés de l'effluent, à savoir essentiellement l'oxygène, les SOx et les NOx. Les solutions absorbantes les plus utilisées aujourd'hui sont les solutions aqueuses d'alcanolamines. On peut citer le document FR 2 820 430 qui propose des procédés de désacidification d'effluents gazeux.The deacidification of these effluents, in particular decarbonation and desulfurization, imposes specific constraints on the absorbent solution, in particular a thermal and chemical stability, especially with regard to the impurities of the effluent, namely essentially oxygen, SOx and NOx. . Absorbent solutions most used today are aqueous solutions of alkanolamines. We can cite the document FR 2 820 430 which proposes processes for deacidification of gaseous effluents.
Toutefois, il est bien connu de l'homme de l'art que ces aminés présentent l'inconvénient de se dégrader dans les conditions de mise en oeuvre. En particulier, les aminés peuvent être dégradées par l'oxygène formant des acides tels que par exemple l'acide formique, l'acide acétique ou encore l'acide oxalique dans les solutions d'aminés.However, it is well known to those skilled in the art that these amines have the disadvantage of degrading under the conditions of implementation. In particular, the amines can be degraded by oxygen forming acids such as, for example, formic acid, acetic acid or else oxalic acid in the amine solutions.
Ces acides réagissent avec les aminés suivant une réaction acide base pour former des sels, appelés « Heat Stable Sait » (HSS) ou « Heat Stable Aminé Sait » (HSAS). Ces acides sont des acides plus forts que l'acide carbonique (formé par la réaction du CO2 avec l'eau). Les sels qu'ils forment par réaction avec les aminés ne sont donc pas régénérés dans la colonne de régénération dans les conditions normales de fonctionnement des unités, et s'accumulent dans l'unité. Dans le cas du captage du CO2 dans les fumées issues d'unités industrielles ou de production d'électricité ou d'énergie en général, les phénomènes de dégradation de la solution absorbante aux aminés sont accrus par la présence d'une quantité massive d'oxygène dans la charge à traiter pouvant aller jusqu'à 5% en volume en général. Dans le cas de fumées issues de cycle combiné au gaz naturel, la teneur volumique d'oxygène dans les fumées peut atteindre 15%.These acids react with amines following an acid-base reaction to form salts, called "Heat Stable Sait" (HSS) or "Heat Stable Amine Sait" (HSAS). These acids are stronger acids than carbonic acid (formed by the reaction of CO 2 with water). The salts they form by reaction with the amines are therefore not regenerated in the regeneration column under the normal operating conditions of the units, and accumulate in the unit. In the case of capture of CO 2 in fumes from industrial units or from electricity or energy production in general, Degradation phenomena of the absorbent solution amines are increased by the presence of a massive amount of oxygen in the feedstock to be treated up to 5% by volume in general. In the case of fumes from the combined cycle with natural gas, the volume content of oxygen in the fumes can reach 15%.
La solution dégradée se caractérise par : une baisse de l'absorption des composés acides de la charge par rapport à une solution fraîche d'aminé, une augmentation de la densité de la solution absorbante, ainsi que de sa viscosité, pouvant entraîner une perte de performance, la formation d'aminés plus volatiles polluant le gaz traité et le gaz acide issu de l'étape de régénération : ammoniac, méthylamine, diméthylamine et triméthylamine par exemple selon la nature de l'aminé utilisée, une accumulation de produits de dégradation dans la solution absorbante qui peut entraîner la nécessité d'un traitement de la solution dégradée, d'éventuels problèmes de moussage dus aux produits de dégradation. La dégradation de la solution absorbante pénalise donc les performances et le bon fonctionnement des unités de désacidification des gaz.The degraded solution is characterized by: a decrease in the absorption of the acidic compounds of the charge relative to a fresh solution of amine, an increase in the density of the absorbing solution, as well as its viscosity, which can lead to a loss of performance, the formation of more volatile amines polluting the treated gas and the acid gas from the regeneration step: ammonia, methylamine, dimethylamine and trimethylamine for example according to the nature of the amine used, an accumulation of degradation products in the absorbent solution which may cause the need for treatment of the degraded solution, possible foaming problems due to degradation products. The degradation of the absorbing solution therefore penalizes the performance and the proper functioning of the gas deacidification units.
Pour pallier le problème de dégradation, à défaut de pouvoir limiter ou supprimer la présence d'oxygène dans la solution absorbante, on ajoute, dans la solution absorbante, des composés dont le rôle est de prévenir ou limiter les phénomènes de dégradation des composés aminés, notamment la dégradation engendrée par les phénomènes d'oxydation. Ces composés sont couramment nommés agents inhibiteurs de dégradation. Les principaux modes d'action connus des agent inhibiteurs de dégradation consistent selon leur nature en une réaction de type réduction et/ou en un captage, un piégeage et/ou une stabilisation des radicaux formés dans la solution absorbante afin de limiter ou d'empêcher ou d'interrompre les réactions, notamment les réactions en chaîne, de dégradation. Les brevets US 5686016 et US 7056482 citent des additifs utilisés pour limiter la dégradation de solutions absorbantes utilisées respectivement pour la désacidification du gaz naturel et pour le captage du CO2.To overcome the problem of degradation, failing to limit or eliminate the presence of oxygen in the absorbent solution is added in the absorbent solution, compounds whose role is to prevent or limit the degradation of amino compounds, in particular the degradation caused by the oxidation phenomena. These compounds are commonly referred to as degradation inhibiting agents. The main known modes of action of the degradation-inhibiting agents are, depending on their nature, a reduction-type reaction and / or a capture, trapping and / or stabilization of the radicals formed in the absorbent solution in order to limit or prevent or interrupting reactions, including chain reactions, degradation. The patents US 5686016 and US 7056482 cite additives used to limit the degradation of absorbent solutions used respectively for the deacidification of natural gas and for the capture of CO 2 .

Les solutions absorbantes selon l'invention peuvent être mises en oeuvre pour désacidifier les effluents gazeux suivants : le gaz naturel, les gaz de synthèse, les fumées de combustion, les gaz de raffinerie, les gaz obtenus en queue du procédé Claus, les gaz de fermentation de biomasse, les gaz de cimenterie, les fumées d'incinérateur. Ces effluents gazeux contiennent un ou plusieurs des composés acides suivants : le CO2, 11H2S, des mercaptans, du COS, du SO2, du NO2, du CS2. Les fumées de combustion sont produites notamment par la combustion d'hydrocarbures, de biogaz, de charbon dans une chaudière ou pour une turbine à gaz de combustion, par exemple dans le but de produire de l'électricité. Ces fumées peuvent comporter entre 50 % et 80 % d'azote, entre 5 % et 20 % de dioxyde de carbone, entre 1 % et 10 % d'oxygène. La mise en oeuvre d'une solution absorbante pour désacidifier un effluent gazeux est généralement réalisée en effectuant une étape d'absorption suivie d'une étape de régénération. L'étape d'absorption consiste à mettre en contact l'effluent gazeux avec la solution absorbante. Lors du contact, les composés organiques munis d'une fonction aminé de la solution absorbante réagissent avec les composés acides contenus dans l'effluent de manière à obtenir un effluent gazeux appauvri en composés acides et une solution absorbante enrichie en composés acides. L'étape de régénération consiste notamment à chauffer et, éventuellement à détendre, au moins une partie de la solution absorbante enrichie en composés acides afin de libérer les composés acides sous forme gazeuse. La solution absorbante régénérée, c'est-à-dire appauvrie en composés acides est recyclée à l'étape d'absorption. La solution absorbante selon l'invention comporte des composés organiques en solution aqueuse. De manière générale, les composés organiques sont des aminés, c'est-à-dire qu'ils comportent au moins une fonction aminé. Les composés organiques peuvent être en concentration variable par exemple compris entre 10% et 80% poids, de préférence entre 20% et 60% poids, dans la solution aqueuse. La solution absorbante peut contenir entre 10% et 90% d'eau.The absorbent solutions according to the invention can be used to deacidify the following gaseous effluents: natural gas, synthesis gases, combustion fumes, refinery gases, gases obtained at the bottom of the Claus process, the gases of fermentation of biomass, cement gas, incinerator fumes. These gaseous effluents contain one or more of the following acidic compounds: CO 2 , 1 1 H 2 S, mercaptans, COS, SO 2 , NO 2 , CS 2 . The combustion fumes are produced in particular by the combustion of hydrocarbons, biogas, coal in a boiler or for a combustion gas turbine, for example for the purpose of producing electricity. These fumes can comprise between 50% and 80% of nitrogen, between 5% and 20% of carbon dioxide, between 1% and 10% of oxygen. The implementation of an absorbent solution for deacidifying a gaseous effluent is generally carried out by performing an absorption step followed by a regeneration step. The absorption step consists of contacting the gaseous effluent with the absorbing solution. Upon contact, the organic compounds having an amine function of the absorbent solution react with the acidic compounds contained in the effluent so as to obtain a gaseous effluent depleted of acidic compounds and an absorbent solution enriched in acidic compounds. The regeneration step includes heating and, optionally, relaxing, at least a portion of the absorbent solution enriched in acidic compounds to release the acidic compounds in gaseous form. The regenerated absorbent solution, that is to say depleted in acidic compounds is recycled to the absorption step. The absorbent solution according to the invention comprises organic compounds in aqueous solution. In general, the organic compounds are amines, that is to say that they comprise at least one amine function. The organic compounds may be in variable concentration, for example between 10% and 80% by weight, preferably between 20% and 60% by weight, in the aqueous solution. The absorbent solution may contain between 10% and 90% water.
Par exemples les composés organiques sont des aminés telles que la N,N,N'INl,N"-pentaméthyléthylènetriamine ou la pipérazine. Par exemple la pipérazine est utilisée pour le traitement du gaz naturel et pour la décarbonatation des fumées de combustion.For example organic compounds are amines such as N, N, I N l, N "-pentaméthyléthylènetriamine or piperazine. For example, the piperazine is used for the treatment of natural gas and for the decarbonation of flue gases.
Les composés organiques peuvent également être des alcanolamines telles que la monoéthanolamine (MEA), la diéthanolamine (DEA), la méthyldiéthanolamine (MDEA), la diisopropanolamine (DIPA) ou la diglycolamine. De préférence, la MDEA et la DEA sont couramment utilisées pour la désacidification du gaz naturel.

Les exemples présentés ci-après permettent de comparer et d'illustrer les performances des agents inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention, en terme de réduction de la dégradation des aminés en solution aqueuse.The examples presented below make it possible to compare and illustrate the performance of the degradation inhibiting agents according to the invention, in terms of reducing the degradation of amines in aqueous solution.
Les essais de dégradation d'une aminé en solution aqueuse sont effectués selon le mode opératoire suivant.The degradation tests of an amine in aqueous solution are carried out according to the following procedure.
100ml de solution d'aminé 30% poids dans l'eau désionisée sont placés dans un réacteur en verre surmonté d'un condenseur pour éviter l'évaporation de l'eau. Selon les essais, on fait varier l'agent inhibiteur de dégradation incorporé dans la solution aqueuse d'aminé. Le réacteur est chauffé à 8O0C dans un bloc chauffant électrique. La solution est agitée à 1200 tours par minute par un barreau aimanté. La présence de contre-pales empêche la formation d'un vortex. 7NI/h d'air atmosphérique, c'est-à-dire de l'air ambiant non purifié, sont mis en contact avec la solution à l'aide d'un tube plongeant pendant 7 jours à pression atmosphérique. Une analyse par chromatographie ionique de la solution ainsi dégradée est alors réalisée. La méthode analytique utilise une colonne échangeuse d'anions, un éluant à la potasse et une détection conductimétrique. Cette analyse permet de quantifier les ions acétate, oxalate et formiate qui sont les espèces généralement suivies par l'homme de l'art car elles témoignent du taux de dégradation de l'aminé. Les teneurs en ppm de ces différents anions sont données dans le tableau ci-dessous dans le cas d'une solution de aqueuse de monoéthanolamine (MEA) 30% poids sans inhibiteur de dégradation, avec 1 % poids d'un inhibiteur de dégradation classique (l'hydroquinone) et avec 0,1 % poids du sel de sodium de L-Cystine et 0,1% poids du sel de sodium de L-Cystéine.100 ml of amine solution 30% by weight in deionized water are placed in a glass reactor surmounted by a condenser to prevent the evaporation of water. According to the tests, the degradation inhibiting agent incorporated in the aqueous amine solution is varied. The reactor is heated to 80 ° C. in an electric heating block. The solution is stirred at 1200 rpm by a magnetic bar. The presence of counter-blades prevents the formation of a vortex. 7 Nl / h of atmospheric air, that is to say of unpurified ambient air, are brought into contact with the solution by means of a dip tube for 7 days at atmospheric pressure. An ion chromatographic analysis of the thus degraded solution is then carried out. The analytical method uses an anion exchange column, potash eluent and conductimetric detection. This analysis makes it possible to quantify the acetate, oxalate and formate ions, which are the species generally followed by those skilled in the art, since they bear witness to the degree of degradation of the amine. The ppm contents of these different anions are given in the table below in the case of a solution of 30% by weight aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) without degradation inhibitor, with 1% by weight of a conventional degradation inhibitor ( hydroquinone) and with 0.1% weight of the sodium salt of L-Cystine and 0.1% by weight of the sodium salt of L-Cysteine.

ND : valeur non déterminée car inférieure à la limite de détection de la méthode d'analyse pour une dilution donnée de l'échantillon analysé.ND: value not determined because below the detection limit of the analytical method for a given dilution of the sample analyzed.
Cet exemple comparatif montre que l'utilisation d'un inhibiteur de dégradation classique, l'hydroquinone, aggrave la dégradation de la MEA alors que l'utilisation des inhibiteurs de dégradation selon l'invention permet de limiter fortement la dégradation de la MEA dans les conditions de l'exemple. This comparative example shows that the use of a conventional degradation inhibitor, hydroquinone, aggravates the degradation of MEA whereas the use of the degradation inhibitors according to the invention makes it possible to greatly limit the degradation of MEA in conditions of the example.
