DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION
[0055] The present invention disclosure will be further described below in conjunction with specific embodiments, but the scope of the invention is not limited to the embodiments. Those skilled in the art can and should know that any simple changes or substitutions based on the essence and spirit of the present invention shall fall within the scope claimed by the present invention.
Embodiment 1
[0056] Referring to
[0057] The absorption-desorption decoupling method includes: [0058] (1) Decoupling of four cycles in the absorption system. The absorption process is divided into four parts by controlling the four cycles in different areas; a first cycle corresponds to a bottom layer of the multi-cycle absorption column 1-13 and is configured to absorb contaminants and be independently controlled to ensure the contaminant removal efficiency; a second cycle corresponds to a second layer of the multi-cycle absorption column 1-13 and is configured to absorb CO.sub.2 and be independently controlled to increase the CO.sub.2 load of an absorbent; a third cycle corresponds to a third layer of the multi-cycle absorption column 1-13 and is configured to absorb CO.sub.2 and be independently controlled to ensure the CO.sub.2 absorption efficiency; a forth cycle corresponds to a top layer of the multi-cycle absorption column 1-13 and is configured to remove aerosols and be independently controlled to ensure that the emission of flue gas aerosols reaches the standard. In a traditional absorption process, the absorption column is not divided in different areas and parameters are changed continuously along with the entire absorption area. However, by adoption of the method of multi-cycle absorption in different areas, the areas of the multi-cycle absorption column 1-13 can be controlled separately to achieve different functions, which can accurately control the absorption process. [0059] (2) Decoupling of the absorption system and the desorption system. In a traditional capture-regeneration process, the absorbent absorbs acid gas once and then directly enters the desorption column for desorption. CO.sub.2 desorption and desorption heat load depend on the absorption capacity and absorption reaction conditions. The CO.sub.2 desorption and the desorption heat load have an effect on each other and are highly coupled. However, by adoption of the multi-cycle absorption, the absorption liquid entering the desorption column 1-38 is in a saturated state and the desorption performance of the desorption column 1-38 is only related to the flow of the absorption liquid entering the desorption column 1-38 and the heat load of the reboiler 1-34, thereby reducing the influence of the absorption process on the desorption.
[0060] The absorption-desorption decoupling method specifically includes the following steps: [0061] (1) building a database based on real-time data and historical data of three-path (cooling water path, absorption liquid path and flue gas path) parameters, wherein the parameters include flue gas flow G, partial pressures p.sub.out and p.sub.in of gas in the flue gas, the concentration c.sub.ab of the absorbent, the pH value pH.sub.i, temperature T.sub.i and flow L.sub.i of liquid in a cycle, the pH value pH.sub.rich, temperature T.sub.rich, and flow L.sub.rich of rich liquid entering the desorption column, the pH value pH.sub.lean and temperature T.sub.lean of lean liquid leaving the desorption column, the concentrations, c.sub.pa, c.sub.sa and c.sub.ta of primary amines, secondary amines, and tertiary amines in fresh absorption liquid, and the heat load W of the reboiler; [0062] (2) building, on the basis of the built database, an optimization model of absorption-desorption decoupling control for contaminant-CO.sub.2 synergistic capture under different working conditions to achieve different functions of systems and cycle sections, support optimized operation of synergistic capture in terms of capture efficiency, desorption energy consumption and overall cost; according to the actual operation of industrial carbon capture and ultra-low emission systems, setting constraints for adjustment ranges of the operating parameters as:
