Abstract

Abstract:

ZIF-8/2-methylimidazole-ethylene glycol-water slurry was used for separating CO₂ from CO₂/N₂ in a pilot-scale packed tower. In order to evaluate the tower efficiency and energy consumption of the packed tower in the CO₂ capture process, firstly, the binary interaction parameters k_CO2 of CO₂ and ZIF-8 slurry were fitted by Peng-Robinson equation of state. Then the binary interaction parameters were related to Aspen Plus to simulate the multi-stage absorption process of CO₂/N₂. The calculation results show that in the pilot-scale packed tower, with only 5 theoretical plates, ZIF-8 slurry could reduce the CO₂ concentration from 20%(mol) to less than 2%(mol), indicating the tray efficiency of the packed tower is 25%. About the energy consumption for the separation of CO₂/N₂ in the pilot plant, the results indicate that when desorption conditions were set at 333 K, 0.8 MPa, and 200 L/h, the CO₂ capture equivalent work can be as low as 0.474 GJ/t CO₂. When ZIF-8 slurry and MEA (30%(mass)) aqueous solution were used for CO₂ capture under the same conditions, the CO₂ capture equivalent work are 0.507 GJ/t CO₂ and 0.957 GJ/t CO₂, respectively. The CO₂ capture equivalent work of ZIF-8 slurry is only 53% of that of MEA aqueous solution.

Key words: ZIF-8, CO₂ capture, packed tower, process simulation, energy consumption analysis

摘要：

ZIF-8/2-甲基咪唑-乙二醇-水浆液(ZIF-8浆液)可以高效低耗能地分离CO₂。为了进一步评估ZIF-8浆液在填料塔中分离CO₂的塔效率及能耗，使用Peng-Robinson(PR)状态方程，求出CO₂和ZIF-8浆液的二元交互作用参数(k_CO2)，将二元交互作用参数和Aspen Plus软件进行关联，对CO₂/N₂多级吸收分离进行过程模拟。计算结果表明在中试填料塔中，ZIF-8浆液仅需要5块理论塔板即可将CO₂浓度由20%(mol)降低至2%(mol)以下，填料塔的塔板效率为25%。对中试分离CO₂/N₂进行能耗计算，结果表明当解吸条件为解吸温度333 K，解吸压力0.8 MPa和空气吹扫流量200 L/h时，CO₂捕集等效功最低可至0.474 GJ/t CO₂。在同样条件下使用ZIF-8浆液和MEA(30%(mass))水溶液进行碳捕集时，CO₂捕集等效功分别为0.507 GJ/t CO₂和0.957 GJ/t CO₂，ZIF-8浆液的CO₂捕集等效功仅为MEA水溶液的53%。
