CO2 recovery device and CO2 recovery method
View Patent ↗A CO 2 recovery device is provided with a CO 2 absorption tower and an absorption-solution regeneration tower. The CO 2 absorption tower includes: a CO 2 absorption section in which CO 2 -containing flue gas is brought into contact with a CO 2 absorption solution, namely a basic-amine-compound absorption solution, so as to remove CO 2 from the CO 2 -containing flue gas; and a water-washing section in which decarbonated flue gas from which CO 2 has been removed is brought into contact with washing water so as to remove accompanying substances accompanying the decarbonated flue gas. The absorption-solution regeneration tower regenerates the CO 2 absorption solution that has absorbed CO 2 . This CO 2 recovery device, in which a lean solution from which CO 2 has been removed is reused in the CO 2 absorption tower, has an aldehyde-removing agent supply unit that supplies a sulfite-compound aldehyde removing agent to a circulating washing-water line that circulates the washing water to the water-washing section.
1. A CO 2 recovery method in which a CO 2 absorption tower and an absorption-solution regeneration tower are used to reuse a lean solution, from which CO 2 has been removed in the absorption-solution regeneration tower, in the CO 2 absorption tower,
the CO 2 absorption tower bringing CO 2 -containing flue gas into contact with a basic amine compound so as to remove CO 2 ,
the absorption-solution regeneration tower separating CO 2 from the CO 2 -absorbed basic amine compound to regenerate a CO 2 absorption solution, and
the method comprising:
supplying an aldehyde-compound removing agent to washing water while washing decarbonated flue gas with the washing water in a water-washing section to simultaneously remove basic amine compounds and aldehyde compounds; and
supplying an acid to the washing water to control pH thereof to be on an acidic side;
wherein, on an upstream side of the CO 2 absorption tower, flue gas containing CO 2 , a nitrogen oxide, and a sulfur oxide is brought into contact with alkali-added cooling water to cool the flue gas, and, after the contact, the alkali-added cooling water is used as circulating water of the water-washing section.
2. The CO 2 recovery method according to claim 1 ,
wherein plural stages of water-washing sections are provided, and
the aldehyde-compound removing agent is supplied to a top water-washing section of the CO 2 absorption tower.
