金属离子促进乙醇胺捕集二氧化碳研究

为了解决醇胺法燃烧后捕集二氧化碳再生能耗过高的问题,研究了一种向胺溶液中添加金属离子以降低其CO₂解吸能耗的方法,称之为金属离子络合物热缓冲自热利用技术。以广泛商业化应用的单乙醇胺（MEA）溶液为研究载体,并在MEA溶液中分别添加金属离子铜或镍, 通过建立含有金属离子的MEA捕集CO₂体系的化学反应模型,解释金属离子热缓冲剂效应的内在机理。机理显示在MEA-金属离子-CO₂-H₂O体系中,金属-MEA络合物作为一种有效的反应热缓冲剂,将有机胺吸收CO₂过程中释放的反应热（放热反应）存储于金属络合物的解离键能中（吸热反应）,在CO₂高温解吸中通过其络合放热反应将储存的能量释放出来用于CO₂解吸,形成自热再生低能耗CO₂捕集技术,从而降低了MEA再生的能耗。本文进行了综合的实验测定来评价金属离子对MEA溶液捕集CO₂过程的性能提升影响,包括CO₂反应热、解吸速率、吸收-解吸循环负载、汽液平衡溶解度等。实验结果表明铜离子或镍离子作为添加剂,能增加MEA的CO₂平衡循环负载14%~20%或7%~10%,同时能够降低MEA的CO₂反应热值6.6%~24%或6.0%~20%。

Amine-immobilized HY zeolite for CO2 capture from hot flue gas

Solid amine-based adsorbents were widely studied as an alternative to liquid amine for post-combustion CO₂ capture (PCC). However, most of the amine adsorbents suffer from low thermal stability and poor cyclic regenerability at the temperature of hot flue gases. Here we present an amine loaded proton type Y zeolite (HY) where the amines namely monoethanolamine (MEA) and ethylenediamine (ED) are chemical immobilized via ionic bond to the zeolite framework to overcome the amine degradation problem. The MEA and ED of 5%, 10% and 20% (mass) concentration – immobilized zeolites were characterized by X-ray diffraction, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and N₂ -196 ℃ adsorption to confirm the structure integrity, amine functionalization, and surface area, respectively. The determination of the amine loading was given by C, H, N elemental analysis showing that ED has successfully grafted almost twice as many amino groups as MEA within the same solvent concentration. CO₂ adsorption capacity and thermal stability of these samples were measured using thermogravimetric analyser. The adsorption performance was tested at the adsorption temperature of 30, 60 and 90 ℃, respectively using pure CO₂ while the desorption was carried out with pure N₂ purge at the same temperature and then followed by elevated temperature at 150 ℃. It was found that all the amine@HY have a substantial high selectivity of CO₂ over N₂. The sample 20% ED@HY has the highest CO₂ adsorption capacity of 1.76 mmol·g^-1 at 90 ℃ higher than the capacity on parent NaY zeolite (1.45 mmol·g^-1 only). The amine@HY samples presented superior performance in cyclic thermal stability in the condition of the adsorption temperature of 90 ℃ and the desorption temperature of 150 ℃. These findings will foster the design of better adsorbents for CO₂ capture from flue gas in post-combustion power plants.     

SOLUBILITY OF CO2 AND H2S IN A HINDERED AMINE SOLUTION

The solubility of H₂S and CO₂ in aqueous solutions of the sterically hindered amine, 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP), was determined at 40 and 100°C. Partial pressures of C)₂ ranged from approximately 2 to 6000 kPa and of H₂S from 2 to 2200 kPa. The solubility results were compared with previously reported acid gas solubilities in aqueous monoethanolamine (MEA) solutions.     

The CO2 absorption and desorption performance of the triethylenetetramine + N,N-diethylethanolamine + H2O system

Post-combustion CO₂ capture (PCC) process faces significant challenge of high regeneration energy consumption. Biphasic absorbent is a promising alternative candidate which could significantly reduce the regeneration energy consumption because only the CO₂-concentrated phase should be regenerated. In this work, aqueous solutions of triethylenetetramine (TETA) and N,N-diethylethanolamine (DEEA) are found to be efficient biphasic absorbents of CO₂. The effects of the solvent composition, total amine concentration, and temperature on the absorption behavior, as well as the effect of temperature on the desorption behavior of TETA-DEEA-H₂O system were investigated. An aqueous solution of 1 mol·L^-1 TETA and 4 mol·L^-1 DEEA spontaneously separates into two liquid phases after a certain amount of CO₂ is absorbed and it shows high CO₂ absorption/desorption performance. About 99.4% of the absorbed CO₂ is found in the lower phase, which corresponds to a CO₂ absorption capacity of 3.44 mol·kg^-1. The appropriate absorption and desorption temperatures are found to be 30℃ and 90℃, respectively. The thermal analysis indicates that the heat of absorption of the 1 mol·L^-1 TETA and 4 mol·L^-1 DEEA solution is -84.38 kJ·(mol CO₂)^-1 which is 6.92 kJ·(mol CO₂)^-1 less than that of aqueous MEA. The reaction heat, sensible heat, and the vaporization heat of the TETA-DEEA-H₂O system are lower than that of the aqueous MEA, while its CO₂ capacity is higher. Thus the TETA-DEEA-H₂O system is potentially a better absorbent for the post-combustion CO₂ capture process.

Experimental studies of air-blast atomization on the CO2 capture with aqueous alkali solutions

In this work, an air-blast atomizing column was used to study the CO₂ capture performance with aqueous MEA (mono-ethanol-amine) and NaOH solutions. The effects of gas flow rate, the liquid to gas ratio (L/G), the CO₂ concentration on the CO₂ removal efficiency (η) and the volumetric overall mass transfer coefficient (K_Ga_v) were investigated. The air-blast atomizing column was also compared with the pressure spray tower on the studies of the CO₂ capture performance. For the aqueous MEA and NaOH solutions, the experimental results show that the η decreases with increasing gas flow rate and CO₂ concentration while it increases with increasing L/G. The effects on K_Ga_v are more complicated than those for η. When the CO₂ concentration is low (3 vol%), K_Ga_v increases with increasing gas flow rate while decreases with increasing L/G. However, when the CO₂ concentration is high (9.5 vol%), as the gas flow rate and L/G increases, K_Ga_v increases first and then decreases. The aqueous MEA solution achieves higher η and K_Ga_v than the aqueous NaOH solution. The air-blast atomizing column shows a good performance on CO₂ capture.     

乙醇胺(MEA)法燃煤电厂CO2捕集系统尾气二次污染分析

在某燃煤电厂用乙醇胺(MEA)作吸收剂进行了CO₂燃烧后捕集中试,并对系统的排放物进行了分析。吸收塔尾气和再生气用GASMET烟气监测系统进行在线监测,可得到二者组分及含量。结合电厂烟气、连续监测系统(CEMS)数据及实验室溶液分析,根据烟气数据对MEA的挥发及降解情况作了研究,比较了系统前后烟气组分的变化,讨论其尾气对环境是否造成二次污染。试验结果表明:MEA在吸收塔中主要发生氧化降解,在再生塔中主要发生热降解,且溶剂损耗主要来自氧化降解和挥发;降解的主要产物为NH₃和乙醛,二者在气体中含量变化情况与溶液中MEA浓度变化基本一致;预洗塔能除去原烟气中部分酸性气体。故CO₂捕集系统可以进一步减少电厂净烟气中的原有污染物,但也会产生新的污染组分。新生成的污染物含量很少,符合国家标准,不会造成二次污染。

Amine-based solvent for CO2 absorption and its impact on carbon steel corrosion: A perspective review

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) is one of the commonly emitted gaseous by-products in industrial processes. While CO₂ gas is the main cause to greenhouse effect, various CO₂ capture technologies have been proposed and implemented to sequester the CO₂ before the waste gases being released into the atmosphere. One of the mature technologies for CO₂ absorption is by using amine-based solvents. In this regard, different single amine solvents or blended amine solvents have been proven for their capability to remove CO₂. However, the dissolution and reaction of CO₂ gas with the amine solvents turn the solution corrosive. Such phenomenon is undesired as it posts corrosion problem to the absorption column, which normally built of carbon steel material. Henceforth, understanding the behaviour of different amine-based solvents in absorbing CO₂ and its subsequent impact on carbon steel corrosion is very significant. In this review article, we will outline some of the more commonly used solvents and their respective advantages and disadvantages, motivating further investigation into the corrosion tendency. Meanwhile, existing gaps in this research area are discussed for future investigation.     

ABSORPTION OF CO2 INTO AQUEOUS SOLUTIONS OF STERICALLY HINDERED METHYL AMINOETHANOL USING A HYDROPHOBIC MICROPOROUS HOLLOW FIBER CONTAINED CONTACTOR

The absorption of dilute CO₂ into aqueous solutions of sterically hindered 2-methyl aminoethanol (MAE) and the desorption of CO₂ from CO₂-loaded MAE solutions into N₂ stream were investigated separately for the various combinations of operational variables, using a hydrophobic microporous hollow fiber (polytetrafluoroethylene, PTFE) contained gas-liquid contactor with aqueous solutions of MAE as liquid media in the shell side at 30°C. The absorption of CO₂ in this contactor is governed by resistance in the liquid and hollow fiber phases. The resistance to diffusion in the hollow fiber phase amounts to 76-80% of the total resistance. Nevertheless, the absorption rates of CO₂ into aqueous MAE solutions in this contactor are higher than those into aqueous solutions of sterically hindered 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) in the stirred tank with a plane unbroken gas-liquid interface. The process of desorption of CO₂ from CO₂-loaded MAE solutions can be regarded as being controlled by diffusion and chemical reaction in both the stagnant film of the liquid phase and the liquid-filled pore of the hollow fiber phase under the slow or intermediate reaction regime. Both absorption and desorption rates under the simultaneous absorption-desorption operation in a single unit tend to approach the respective constant values as process time elapses. The total absorption rate here seems to be almost balanced with the total desorpion rate at the constant mass transfer rate periods.     

胺基CO2固体吸附剂脱碳特性及SO2的影响

燃煤电厂烟气中存在的微量SO₂对胺基CO₂固体吸附剂的碳酸化反应及循环特性有不利影响。利用固定床反应器,针对采用溶胶凝胶法制备的胺基CO₂固体吸附剂的碳酸化特性及其在含SO₂气氛下的失效规律进行了实验研究,并结合红外光谱、有机元素分析、BET等测试手段,研究其失效机理。结果表明,所制备的胺基CO₂固体吸附剂在反应温度50℃时具有较好的碳酸化反应特性和循环特性。当反应气氛中存在SO₂时,由于生成了不可再生的亚硫酸/硫酸盐类物质而导致胺基活性位损失,孔隙结构发生变化,影响了吸附剂的脱碳性能,但适当提高反应温度可提高吸附剂的碳酸化反应竞争性。     

燃煤电厂烟气MDEA/PZ混合胺法碳捕集工艺模拟分析

Electrocatalytic reforming of carbon dioxide by methane in SOFC system

The reaction of carbon dioxide catalytic reforming with methane is an attractive route because these greenhouse gases can be converted into variable feedstocks. However this reaction is a highly energy consuming and coke forming process. These problems were improved by the electrocatalytic reforming of CO₂ with CH₄ in a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) membrane reactor system, which generates high electrical power and synthesis gases. The single cell consists of catalyst electrode (NiO–MgO), counter electrode ((La,Sr)MnO₃) and Y₂O₃ stabilized ZrO₂ (YSZ) electrolyte. The reaction rates of CO₂ and CH₄, and the electrochemical properties were investigated by an on-line GC and impedance-analyzer under open- and closed-circuit conditions, respectively. It was found that reaction rates of CO₂ and CH₄ under the closed-circuit condition were more stable than those of the open-circuit. The results were interpreted that the stability of catalyst anode was maintained by the reaction of oxygen ion transferred from the cathode with the surface carbon formed in the internal CO₂ reforming by CH₄ in SOFC system.
