- WO 2021/206 564 A1 describes a method and an arrangement for removing CO2 from ambient air or flue gases, wherein a pre-cooled flow of the air or gases is passed through a bed of CO2 adsorption material in a first direction, whereby CO2 is removed the flowing air or gas is adsorbed in the CO2 adsorbent bed.
- a flow of warm fuel gas from a thermal storage unit is directed to the CO2 adsorbent bed in a second direction opposite to the first direction to transfer stored heat from the heat recovery unit to the CO2 adsorbent bed while simultaneously transferring cold from the adsorbent bed to the thermal storage.
- the heating gas is then passed through the CO2 adsorbent bed in a closed loop, with CO2 being desorbed from the CO2 adsorbent bed.
- the desorbed CO2 is extracted for use or storage, then a cooling gas flow is passed through the thermal storage unit and the CO2 adsorbent bed in the first direction, with low-temperature heat being transferred to the CO2 adsorbent bed and high-temperature heat being transferred from the CO2 adsorbent bed to the thermal storage unit.
- the invention has set itself the task of providing a method and a system for reducing the concentration of carbon dioxide in the ambient air and for using the carbon dioxide removed from the ambient air, which are efficient, robust and inexpensive.
- the subject matter of the invention is a method for the utilization of carbon dioxide contained in the ambient air.
- the method according to the invention comprises the drying of an ambient air flow in a dehumidification unit, then the adsorption of carbon dioxide from the dried air flow in an adsorber unit, which contains an adsorber material for CO2, and then the desorption of adsorbed carbon dioxide from the adsorber unit, the adsorption of carbon dioxide being so is carried out for a long time until a termination criterion is reached, and then the desorption of carbon dioxide takes place.
- the drying of the ambient air flow takes place in a two-stage process, which involves pre-drying of the air flow in a continuously operating electrically operated pre-dryer, which is a continuously operating adsorption dryer, and subsequent passage of the pre-dried air flow through a silica gel, molecular sieve 3A, sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, activated alumina or zeolite A comprising desiccant-filled drying device comprises.
- the adsorption of carbon dioxide from the dried air flow takes place at atmospheric pressure and a temperature in the range from 20°C to 35°C, and for Desorption of adsorbed carbon dioxide from the adsorber unit, the adsorber material in the adsorber unit is heated to a temperature in the range from 100° C. to 300° C. and a negative pressure in the range from 10 to 50 mbar is generated in the adsorber unit.
- Carbon dioxide (CO2) is adsorbed from the ambient air in a stationary adsorber unit.
- a stream of ambient air is passed through a stationary adsorber unit.
- the air flow is first dried, i.e. the water contained in the air flow is removed.
- the drying takes place in a two-stage process.
- the air flow is pre-dried by an electrically operated pre-dryer, which is a continuously operating adsorption dryer.
- the pre-dryer works independently of the pressure and removes approx. 30 to 50% of the moisture contained in the air.
- the pre-drying takes place at an air flow temperature of at most 20°C.
- the pre-dried air is passed through a drying device filled with a drying agent in order to remove residual moisture.
- the desiccant is selected from silica gel, molecular sieve 3A, sodium sulfate, magnesium sulfate, activated alumina and zeolite A.
- the residual moisture content of the air flow after drying is less than 1 g/m 3 .
- Carbon dioxide contained in the dried air flow is then adsorbed.
- the adsorber unit is thus charged with CO2.
- this step is carried out until a termination criterion is reached, for example until the carbon dioxide uptake capacity limit of the adsorber unit is reached.
- this step is carried out until a predetermined period of time has elapsed. The air flowing out of the adsorber unit is depleted in carbon dioxide.
- the adsorber unit contains an adsorber material that can bind carbon dioxide, and the carbon dioxide is th adsorber material adsorbed.
- the adsorber material comprises at least one inorganic material from the class of aluminosilicates.
- the adsorber material is a zeolite.
- the adsorbent material comprises zeolite 13X or molecular sieve 13X or a modification thereof.
- the adsorbent material is used in granular form.
- the adsorbent material consists of particles with a grain size, i.e. an equivalent diameter, in the range from 1 to 5 mm.
- the adsorber material is present as a bed in a filter module of the adsorber unit.
- a container that is permeable to the air flow is filled with the adsorber material in a filter module of the adsorber unit.
- the carbon dioxide is adsorbed at a temperature in the range from 20° C. to 35° C. at atmospheric pressure.
- the drying of the air flow is particularly efficient at temperatures below 20°C.
- the adsorption of carbon dioxide is also favored by low temperatures, since the process is exothermic.
- the first step of the method according to the invention is carried out at normal pressure, so there is no compression of the ambient air flow introduced.
- the air flow through the adsorber unit loaded with carbon dioxide is interrupted and the adsorbed carbon dioxide bound in the adsorber unit is then desorbed.
- the predetermined period of time is from 2 hours to 5 hours, for example 4 hours.
- the carbon dioxide is desorbed from the adsorber unit by heating the adsorber material in the adsorber unit and reducing the pressure. As a result, the adsorbed CO2 is converted into the gas phase and the filter module is regenerated. The CO2 separated from the adsorber unit is put to further use.
- the duration of the desorption phase is from 1 hour to 3 hours, for example 2 hours.
- the loaded adsorption material is heated to a temperature in the range from 100° C. to 300° C., for example 200° C. to 300° C., or 250° C. to 300° C., and a negative pressure in the range from 10 to 50 mbar (1,000 to 950 mbar absolute).
- the loaded adsorption material is heated to a temperature in the range from 100° C. to 150° C. for desorption and an auxiliary gas is passed through the adsorber unit.
- the auxiliary gas is ambient air.
- the adsorber unit is filled with the auxiliary gas, then a negative pressure in the range of 10 to 50 mbar (1000 to 950 mbar absolute) is generated in the adsorber unit in order to suck off the released CO2 and the auxiliary gas.
- the filling and suction is repeated several times, for example two or three times.
- the adsorber unit is allowed to cool down to room temperature or the adsorber material is actively cooled.
- a new phase of adsorption is started directly after the end of desorption, ie ambient air is passed through the adsorber unit again while it is cooling down.
- the adsorber material has cooled down sufficiently, it binds CO2 from the ambient air flow again. In one embodiment, it takes about 1 hour for the first CO2 molecules to stick again.
- the loaded drying agent is heated to a temperature in the range from 100° C. to 150° C., for example 100° C. to 120° C., and a negative pressure is created in the drying device in the range from 10 to 50 mbar (1000 to 950 mbar absolute). In one embodiment, the regeneration lasts from 45 minutes to 90 minutes, for example 1 hour.
- this is carried out continuously, i.e. the adsorption step and desorption step take place alternately in succession.
- the method according to the invention offers a number of advantages, in particular it can contribute to reducing environmental pollution and energy consumption.
- the carbon dioxide is thus removed from the atmosphere or the ambient air of the adsorber unit.
- significant amounts of carbon dioxide can be removed from the ambient air in polluted zones, e.g. on busy roads or in tunnels.
- the carbon dioxide content of the air can be significantly reduced in tunnels.
- the carbon dioxide contained in the ambient air e.g. from the exhaust gases of internal combustion engines, is made industrially usable by the method according to the invention, since it is available in concentrated form after desorption and is no longer diluted by the other air components.
- the invention also relates to a system for utilizing carbon dioxide from the ambient air.
- the system has an inflow opening which is fluidically connected to an outlet opening which has a blower or a fan so that an air duct is formed and air is sucked in from the environment and guided through a dehumidification unit and an adsorber unit.
- the dehumidification unit is designed to dry an ambient air flow supplied to the system, and the adsorber unit is set up to bind carbon dioxide from the dried ambient air flow during an adsorption phase and release bound carbon dioxide during a desorption phase.
- the system includes a desorption module which is set up to desorb carbon dioxide adsorbed in the adsorber unit from the latter.
- the system comprises heating means to introduce heat into the adsorber unit during the desorption phase and negative pressure means to create a negative pressure in the adsorber unit during the desorption phase.
- the dehumidification unit comprises a continuously operating, electrically operated pre-dryer, which is a continuously operating adsorption dryer, and a drying device downstream of this, which is filled with a desiccant comprising silica gel, molecular sieve 3A, sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, activated alumina or zeolite A.
- the system has a stationary adsorber unit, which is set up to adsorb carbon dioxide from the ambient air, and a desorption module, which is set up to desorb carbon dioxide adsorbed in the adsorber unit from the latter.
- the system is particularly suitable for carrying out the method according to the invention.
- the system includes an adsorber unit that is set up to adsorb carbon dioxide (CO2) from the ambient air.
- the adsorber unit comprises a housing with at least one inflow and outflow opening in the housing wall, a filter module inside the housing, which is fluidically connected to the inflow and outflow opening, so that an air duct is formed, and an air intake device, to suck in air from the environment and lead it through the filter module.
- the air induction device is a fan.
- the air intake device is a fan.
- the air intake device is designed for a nominal air flow of 1,000 to 15,000 m 3 /h, for example 8,000 to 12,000 m 3 /h.
- a blower power or fan power in the range of 1 to 15 kW is required for this.
- a drying device or dehumidifying device is provided in the air duct of the adsorber unit, which removes water from the air flow before it enters the filter module. The drying of the air stream prevents the adsorption capacity of the adsorber material for carbon dioxide from being reduced by water loading.
- the drying device comprises a continuously operating, electrically operated pre-dryer, which is a continuously operating adsorption dryer.
- the pre-dryer has a power consumption in the range from 9 kW to 15 kW.
- the drying device comprises, downstream of the pre-dryer, a unit with a desiccant that removes water from the air flow.
- the desiccant is selected from silica gel, molecular sieve 3A, sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate, activated alumina and zeolite A.
- the adsorber unit contains an adsorber material which is set up to bind carbon dioxide (CO2) by adsorption.
- the adsorber unit contains a CO2-binding agent based on aluminum silicate, which has an adsorption capacity for pre-dried CO2 of up to 20% by weight.
- the adsorber material includes aluminosilicates, for example amorphous aluminum silicate.
- the adsorber material is a zeolite.
- the adsorbent material comprises zeolite 13X or molecular sieve 13X or a modification thereof.
- the adsorbent material is used in granular form.
- the adsorber material consists of particles with a grain size, ie an equivalent diameter, in the range from 1 to 5 mm.
- the adsorber material is present as a bed in a filter module of the adsorber unit.
- a container that is permeable to the air flow is filled with the adsorber material in a filter module of the adsorber unit.
- a CO2 sensor is arranged at the outlet of the adsorber unit, which measures the CC content of the exiting gas stream. During the adsorption phase, the CC content of the exiting gas stream is very low. After the capacity limit of the adsorber material has been reached, the CC content of the exiting gas stream increases rapidly ("breakthrough"). The CO2 sensor therefore makes it possible to quickly and reliably detect when the capacity limit of the adsorber material has been reached.
- the adsorber unit is a stationary system that is used in locations where high concentrations of carbon dioxide in the air occur, e.g. in urban areas, on busy roads or in tunnels.
- the adsorber unit is mounted in a tunnel, e.g., on the tunnel ceiling. There can also be several adsorber units in one tunnel.
- the stationary adsorber unit is arranged outside the tunnel and an air flow is sucked out of the inside of the tunnel via suitable devices, passed through the adsorber unit and then fed back into the tunnel.
- the adsorber unit is designed for a nominal air flow of 1,000 to 15,000 m 3 /h, for example 8,000 to 12,000 m 3 /h. This requires a fan power in the range from 1 to 15 kW, in particular from 1 to 5 kW, for example from 2 to 3 kW.
- the system according to the invention comprises a desorption module which is set up to desorb carbon dioxide adsorbed in the adsorber material from the latter.
- the CO2 is released from the adsorber material saturated with CO2 through the combination of heat and slight negative pressure. Any impurities remain on the adsorber material.
- the pure CO2 is extracted and leaves the desorption module almost without pressure. It can then be used directly.
- the desorption module is set up to reduce the pressure in a filter module filled with an adsorber material and to heat the adsorber material and thereby desorb carbon dioxide from the filter module and suck it out of the filter module.
- the desorption module is set up to introduce an auxiliary gas into a filter module filled with an adsorber material and to heat the adsorber material and thereby desorb carbon dioxide from the filter module and discharge it from the filter module.
