Definitions
- the present invention relates to a carbon dioxide separation and recovery device that separates carbon dioxide from a gas to be treated containing carbon dioxide and collects the carbon dioxide separated from the gas to be treated.
- CCS Carbon Dioxide, Capture, and Storage
- CCS is a technique for selectively separating and recovering carbon dioxide from a gas to be treated containing carbon dioxide, and a technique for storing the recovered carbon dioxide in the ground or in water.
- CCS is expected to be introduced into large-scale carbon dioxide emission sources such as thermal power plants and oil fields, and is also applicable to adjustment of carbon dioxide concentration in a sealed living space (for example, Patent Document 1). And 2).
- Patent Document 2 discloses a carbon dioxide separation and recovery apparatus in which a so-called solid adsorbent method is applied to carbon dioxide separation and recovery.
- This carbon dioxide separation and recovery device includes an adsorbent filling tank filled with a solid carbon dioxide adsorbent.
- the adsorbent filling tank is connected to a pipe for taking in the gas to be treated and a pipe for taking in the heated gas.
- the heating gas supply pipe is connected to a steam generator at the upstream end, and the steam generated by the steam generator is used as the heating gas.
- the carbon dioxide separation and recovery apparatus when the gas to be treated is supplied to the adsorbent filling tank, the carbon dioxide is adsorbed by the carbon dioxide adsorbent and separated from the gas to be treated, thereby reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide. Clean gas can be made.
- water vapor is supplied to the adsorbent filling tank instead of the gas to be treated, the carbon dioxide adsorbent is heated. Thereby, the carbon dioxide is detached from the carbon dioxide adsorbing material, and the carbon dioxide can be recovered and the carbon dioxide adsorbing material can be regenerated.
- water vapor is sent from the water vapor generator outside the adsorbent filling tank to the inside of the adsorbent filling tank via the heating gas supply pipe.
- piping is exposed to the outside air, while water vapor has a higher temperature than the outside air.
- steam may be cooled by heat exchange with piping, and it is also considered that it condenses in piping according to the condition. In such a case, it is necessary to increase the temperature of the steam at the outlet of the steam generator, and the amount of steam necessary for the separation and recovery of carbon dioxide (regeneration of the carbon dioxide adsorbent) increases.
- the flow of water vapor is relatively active near the outlet of the heated gas supply pipe, while the flow of water vapor is relatively slow at a position far from the outlet. Then, in the carbon dioxide adsorbing material, there are a portion where carbon dioxide has been quickly separated and a portion where carbon dioxide has not been easily separated. In order to regenerate the entire carbon dioxide adsorbing material, it is necessary to continue to supply water vapor to the adsorbent filling tank until the carbon dioxide is completely detached even at a location where the carbon dioxide is difficult to separate. As described above, when the uneven flow of water vapor occurs and unevenness of regeneration occurs, the amount of steam necessary for regenerating the entire carbon dioxide adsorbing material increases.
