System for recovering high-purity CO
View Patent ↗A method and system for recovering CO 2 from gasification gas, prevents the recovered CO 2 from being contaminated with COS, without repeating cooling and heating operations and without increasing the steam consumption. Gasification gas being produced in a gasifier 10 and containing CO, CO 2 , COS and H 2 S is subjected to dust removal in a scrubber 20 . Then, a part of the gas is subjected to a CO shift reaction, in which CO is converted into CO 2 , in a CO shift reactor 30 . Another part of the gasification gas is not subjected to the CO shift reaction by means of a bypass 34 , and is mixed with the gas after the CO shift reaction. Thereby, the temperature of the mixture gas is set at 180° C. to 300° C., and COS in the mixture gas is converted into H 2 S in a COS converter 40.
1. A method for recovering CO 2 from gasification gas containing CO, CO 2 , COS and H 2 S and generating power by using a fuel gas resulting from the gasification gas, the method comprising:
a CO shift reaction step comprising subjecting a first amount of the gasification gas to conversion of CO in the first amount of the gasification gas into CO 2 ;
a COS conversion step comprising mixing a second amount of the gasification gas with the resulting first amount of the gasification gas after the CO shift reaction without subjecting the second amount of the gasification gas to the CO shift reaction step, and converting COS in the mixture gas into H 2 S, the mixture gas subjected to the COS conversion having a temperature in a range of 150° C. to 350° C.;
a H 2 S absorption step comprising absorbing and removing H 2 S from the resulting mixture gas after the COS conversion; and
a CO 2 absorption step comprising absorbing and removing CO 2 from the resulting mixture gas from which H 2 S has been removed in the H 2 S absorption step; and
a power generation step of generating power by using the fuel gas which is obtained by removing CO 2 from the resulting mixture gas in the CO 2 absorption step.
2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a dividing gas step comprising dividing the gasification gas into the first amount and the second amount so that lowering the CO 2 recovery and improving power generation efficiency are controlled by the second amount of the gasification gas.
3. The method of claim 1 , further comprising a heat exchange step comprising adjusting a temperature of the resulting first amount of the gasification gas after the CO shift reaction before the resulting first amount of the gasification gas is mixed with the second amount of the gasification gas.
4. The method of claim 2 , wherein a ratio of the second amount of the gasification gas to the first amount of the gasification gas is in a range of 45 to 15%, and a CO 2 recovery ratio in the method is in a range of 50 to 80%.
5. A method for recovering CO 2 from gasification gas containing CO, CO 2 , COS and H 2 S, comprising:
a CO shift reaction step comprising subjecting a first amount of the gasification gas to conversion of CO in the first amount of the gasification gas into CO 2 ;
a COS conversion step comprising performing heat exchange between a second amount of the gasification gas and the resulting first amount of the gasification gas after the CO shift reaction without subjecting the second amount of the gasification gas to the CO shift reaction step, and converting COS in the second amount of the gasification gas into H 2 S, the second amount of the gasification gas subjected to the COS conversion having a gas temperature in a range of 150° C. to 350° C.;
a H 2 S absorption step comprising mixing the resulting second amount of gasification gas after the COS conversion with the resulting first amount of the gasification gas after the CO shift reaction and absorbing and removing H 2 S from the mixture gas; and
a CO 2 absorption step comprising absorbing and removing CO 2 from the resulting mixture gas from which H 2 S has been removed in the H 2 S absorption step.
6. The method of claim 5 , wherein the CO 2 absorption step comprises obtaining fuel gas for power generation by removing CO 2 from the resulting mixture gas, and the method further comprises a dividing gas step comprising dividing the gasification gas into the first amount and the second amount so that lowering the CO 2 recovery and improving power generation efficiency are controlled by the second amount of the gasification gas.
7. The method of claim 6 , wherein a ratio of the second amount of the gasification gas to the first amount of the gasification gas is in a range of 45 to 15%, and a CO 2 recovery ratio in the method is in a range of 50 to 80%.
