Abstract
Description
- The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide separating and recovering method that involves: contacting exhaust gas with particulate ice at a low temperature by use of cold energy of LNG (liquefied natural gas) to generate carbon dioxide hydrate; and then fixing carbon dioxide (CO2) in the exhaust gas to the gas hydrate, thereby recovering the carbon dioxide from the exhaust gas, and also relates to an apparatus therefor.
- Recently, methods of recovering carbon dioxide (CO2) included in exhaust gas are developed from the viewpoint of global environmental protection, etc. These methods include, for example, a chemical absorption method, a physical adsorption method, a membrane separation method, and the like.
- A chemical absorption method is a method in which carbon dioxide is separated and recovered by making use of properties of an amine absorbing solution which absorbs carbon dioxide at 40° C. to 50° C. and releases carbon dioxide at 100° C. to 120° C. The physical adsorption method is a method in which carbon dioxide is separated and recovered by making use of properties of zeolite that absorbs carbon dioxide when a pressure is applied and desorbs carbon dioxide when the pressure is reduced. Moreover, the membrane separation method is a method in which carbon dioxide is subjected to membrane-separation by use of a porous hollow fiber membrane.
- However, the chemical absorption method or the physical adsorption method needs the reproduction of an absorbent and an adsorbent, and consume a large amount of energy as well. As such, it is not necessarily suitable as a method of separating carbon dioxide for fixing carbon dioxide.
- On the other hand, the membrane separation method is a separation method based on the molecular size. However, because the nitrogen molecule and the carbon dioxide molecule included in combustion exhaust gas have substantially the same size, the two kinds of molecules are difficult to separate by this method. Moreover, it is also said that the purity of the recovered carbon dioxide is low.
- Moreover, a method of separating carbon dioxide with gas hydrate is proposed (e.g., Japanese patent application Kokai publication No. 2001-96133 and Japanese patent application Kokai publication No. Hei 5-38429).
- However, the method of separating carbon dioxide with gas hydrate, in any case, has difficulty in generating gas hydrate including high-concentration carbon dioxide from exhaust gas with a small content of carbon dioxide such as gas turbine exhaust gas.
- Incidentally, the study on gas hydrates shows, for example, that carbon dioxide can be concentrated by approximately 60% to 80% in carbon dioxide hydrate generated at a low temperature of −70° C. to −100° C. It is also ascertained in a bench-scale experiment.
- This invention has been made on the basis of the research and experimental results. The present invention is directed to provide a method of recovering carbon dioxide and an apparatus therefor that consume a less amount of energy by improving gas hydrate formation reaction that generally shows an extremely low production rate at a low temperature and by effectively making use of unused cold energy wasted when LNG used as a fuel is gasified in gas-turbine combined cycle power facilities.
- To achieve the above object, the present invention is constituted as follows. The invention according to

The method includes the steps of: cooling the exhaust gas to a given temperature by use of cold energy of liquefied natural gas; spraying water in a minute-ice generator having been cooled to a given temperature by use of the cold energy of the liquefied natural gas to generate minute ice; and introducing the minute ice and the cooled exhaust gas into a gas hydrate generator so as to cause the minute ice and carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas to react with each other in the gas hydrate generator, thereby generating carbon dioxide hydrate. - According to this method of recovering carbon dioxide, it becomes possible to gas-hydrate minute ice including the core of the minute ice in a relatively short time by forming the minute ice (e.g., 0.1 μm to 10 μm) from ice that has been said to be difficult to be gas-hydrated at a low temperature of, for example, −70° C. to −100° C. As a result, carbon dioxide can be recovered efficiently from exhaust gas, particularly, even from gas turbine exhaust gas having a low content of carbon dioxide (e.g., 3% to 4%).
- In addition, according to this method, by recovering unused cold energy wasted when LNG is gasified and by effectively making use of the cold energy, it becomes possible to efficiently recover carbon dioxide hydrate with a novel method that allows less energy consumption than that with conventional methods.
- The invention according to claim 2 is the method of separating and recovering carbon dioxide from exhaust gas, characterized in that, in
claim 1, exhaust gas cooled to approximately −70° C. to −100° C. by use of the cold energy of the liquefied natural gas is caused to contact with minute ice having a particle diameter of approximately 0.1 μm to 10 μm to thereby generate carbon dioxide hydrate. - According to this method, as described in the invention according to
claim 1, it becomes possible to efficiently recover carbon dioxide even from gas turbine exhaust gas that is said to have a low content of carbon dioxide. - In addition, according to this method, by recovering unused cold energy wasted when LNG is gasified and by effectively making use of the cold energy, it becomes possible to efficiently recover carbon dioxide hydrate with a novel method that allows less energy consumption than that with conventional methods.
- On the other hand, the invention according to claim 3 is an apparatus of recovering carbon dioxide from exhaust gas by gas-hydrating the carbon dioxide. The apparatus includes: a spray nozzle; a minute-ice generator which freezes particulate droplets of water sprayed from the spray nozzle by use of cold energy of liquefied natural gas to generate minute ice; and a gas hydrate generator into which the minute ice and exhaust gas cooled by use of the cold energy of the liquefied natural gas are introduced to generate carbon dioxide hydrate.

As a result, carbon dioxide can be recovered efficiently from exhaust gas, particularly, even from gas turbine exhaust gas having approximately 3% to 4% content of carbon dioxide.
- In addition, according to this apparatus, by recovering unused cold energy wasted when LNG is gasified and by effectively making use of the cold energy, it becomes possible to efficiently recover carbon dioxide hydrate with a novel apparatus that allows less energy consumption than that with conventional methods.

FIG. 2 is a block diagram of an apparatus of separating and recovering carbon dioxide according to the present invention. - Hereafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.
- In addition, in this embodiment, a gas-turbine combined cycle power plant is shown as an example of an exhaust gas source origin; however, the exhaust gas source origin is not limited to this example.
- As shown in
FIG. 1 , a facility that carries out a method of separating and recovering carbon dioxide according to the present invention primarily includes a gas-turbine combinedcycle power plant 10, anexhaust gas precooler 11, anexhaust gas compressor 12, anexhaust gas recooler 13, a carbon dioxide hydrate generating device (also called, “carbon dioxide separation and recovery device”) 14 and an exhaust gas expander 15. - In addition, in
FIG. 1 , the arrow of a single line shows the flow of exhaust gas before carbon dioxide separation and recovery, and the arrow of double lines shows the flow of exhaust gas after carbon dioxide separation and recovery. -
Exhaust gas 1 a (carbon dioxide content: 3% to 4%, temperature: approximately 100° C., and pressure: approximately 0.1 MPa) discharged from the gas-turbine combinedcycle power plant 10 is precooled to a given temperature by theexhaust gas precooler 11. For the precooling of thisexhaust gas 1 a, low temperature-lowpressure exhaust gas 1 e after carbon dioxide separation and recovery is used. The pressure of theexhaust gas 1 e has been reduced to near the atmospheric pressure (e.g., 0.1 MPa) by the exhaust gas expander 15 after discharged from the carbon dioxidehydrate generating device 14. - Low temperature-low
pressure exhaust gas 1 c after precooled by theexhaust gas precooler 11 is pressurized by theexhaust gas compressor 12 to a pressure (e.g., 2 MPa) necessary for gas hydrate generation.Exhaust gas 1 d pressurized by theexhaust gas compressor 12 is introduced into theexhaust gas recooler 13, and then recooled with high pressure-low temperature (e.g., 2 MPa and approximately −70° C.)exhaust gas 1 b that is discharged from the carbon dioxidehydrate generating device 14 after carbon dioxide separation and recovery. - High pressure-low temperature (e.g., 2 MPa and −70° C.)
exhaust gas 1 f recooled by the exhaust gas recooler 13 reacts with minute ice generated by utilization of cold energy of LNG and becomes carbon dioxide hydrate c. Reference symbol w indicates generation water for minute ice manufacturing. - As a result, carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas is incorporated into the carbon dioxide hydrate c by 60% to 80% relative to the carbon dioxide hydrate c. Therefore, the concentration of carbon dioxide in
exhaust gas 1 g discharged from achimney 16 is decreased by the amount. Theexhaust gas 1 g after carbon dioxide separation and recovery is subjected to a rise in temperature in theexhaust gas recooler 15 and is emitted to the atmosphere through thechimney 16. - Next, the carbon dioxide separation and recovery device according to the present invention will be described with reference to
FIG. 2 . - This carbon dioxide separation and recovery device includes the gas-turbine combined
cycle power plant 10, theexhaust gas precooler 11, theexhaust gas compressor 12, theexhaust gas recooler 13, the carbon dioxidehydrate generating device 14 and the exhaust gas expander 15. - Additionally, the carbon dioxide
hydrate generating device 14 includes ageneration water pump 20, anassist gas compressor 21, a two-fluid spray nozzle 22, a minute-ice generator 23, agas hydrate generator 24, an exhaustgas circulation loop 25, and a circulating-gas cooler 26 that utilizes cold energy of LNG. - On the other hand, an exhaust
gas supply pipe 28 is connected to the exhaustgas circulation loop 25 through theexhaust gas precooler 11, theexhaust gas compressor 12 and theexhaust gas recooler 13. The exhaustgas supply pipe 28 supplies the carbon dioxidehydrate generating device 14 with theexhaust gas 1 a discharged from the gas-turbine combinedcycle power'plant 10. - In addition, a
branch pipe 29 branched from the exhaustgas supply pipe 28 reaches the two-fluid spray nozzle 22 in the minute-ice generator 23 through theassist gas compressor 21. Moreover, an exhaustgas discharge pipe 30 that is connected to the exhaustgas circulation loop 25 is connected to an unillustrated chimney through theexhaust gas recooler 13, the exhaust gas expander 15 and theexhaust gas precooler 11. - Additionally, a
water supply pipe 31 is connected to the two-fluid spray nozzle 22 in the minute-ice generator 23. In addition, awater recovery pipe 32 that recovers water generated in theexhaust gas precooler 11 is connected to thewater supply pipe 31. - Moreover, the gas-turbine combined
cycle power plant 10 comprises anelectrical generator 35, asuction compressor 36, an exhaust gas expander 37, a combustor 38 and a waste-heat boiler 39. In addition, theelectrical generator 35 is driven by the exhaust gas expander 37, and thereby electricity is generated by theelectrical generator 17. - Exhaust gas discharged from the exhaust gas expander 37 in the gas-turbine combined
cycle power plant 10 becomes the low temperature-normal pressure (e.g., 373 K (100° C.) and 0.1 MPa)exhaust gas 1 a after thermal recovery by the waste-heat boiler 39, and is supplied to theexhaust gas precooler 11. - The
exhaust gas 1 a supplied to thisexhaust gas precooler 11 is precooled by using the low temperature-lowpressure exhaust gas 1 e that has been subjected to carbon dioxide separation and recovery. Thisexhaust gas 1 e is a low temperature-low pressure gas discharged from the carbon dioxidehydrate generating device 14, and depressurized down to near the atmospheric pressure (e.g., 0.1 MPa) by theexhaust gas expander 15. - The low
temperature exhaust gas 1 c precooled (for example, −40° C. to −50° C.) by theexhaust gas precooler 11 is pressurized using theexhaust gas compressor 12 to a pressure (e.g., 2 MPa) necessary for the generation of gas hydrate. - The
exhaust gas 1 d compressed by theexhaust gas compressor 12 is introduced into theexhaust gas recooler 13, and then recooled with low temperature-high pressure (e.g., 203 K (−70° C.), 2 MPa)exhaust gas 1 b that is discharged from the carbon dioxidehydrate generating device 14 described below after carbon dioxide separation and recovery. - After the low temperature-high
pressure exhaust gas 1 b recools theexhaust gas 1 d pressurized by theexhaust gas compressor 12, theexhaust gas 1 b is emitted to the atmosphere from an unillustrated chimney via theexhaust gas expander 15. The pressure of thegas 1 g emitted at this point is approximately, for example, 0.1 MPa. - In addition, in the present invention, the
exhaust gas compressor 12 and theelectrical generator 17 are driven by theexhaust gas expander 15, and electricity is generated by theelectrical generator 17. - The carbon dioxide
hydrate generating device 14, as already described, includes thegeneration water pump 20, the assistgas compressor 21, the two-fluid spray nozzle 22, the minute-ice generator 23, thegas hydrate generator 24, the exhaustgas circulation loop 25 and the circulating-gas cooler 26. - The generation water w for carbon dioxide hydrate generation is pressurized by the
generation water pump 20 up to a pressure necessary for reaction. On the other hand, part of theexhaust gas 1 f recooled by theexhaust gas recooler 13 is pressurized by theassist gas compressor 21 up to an assist gas pressure (e.g., 2.3 MPa) necessary for spraying of the generation water w. - The minute-
ice generator 23 includes the two-fluid spray nozzle 22. This two-fluid spray nozzle 22 sprays the generation water w in a particulate form from a nozzle hole (unillustrated) with the valve opened by the introduction of assist gas 1 h. - In addition, this minute-
ice generator 23 has a coolingjacket 27 on its outside, and instantaneously freezes the particulate water sprayed from thespray nozzle 22 by use of cold energy of LNG (liquefied natural gas) to generate minute ice (e.g., 0.1 μm to 10 μm) i. - Here, when the particle diameter of the minute ice i exceeds 10 micrometers, it takes a longer period of time to gas-hydrate the minute ice i including the core of the minute ice, so that the use of the minute ice i having such a particle diameter should be avoided in the industrial viewpoint. Additionally, the cooling
jacket 27 uses, as a coolant, a coolant a cooled to a given temperature by utilization of the cold energy of LNG. - The
gas hydrate generator 24 is made up ofmultiple reaction vessels 41 a to 41 d that are arranged meanderingly. Thesereaction vessels 41 a to 41 d seem to be arranged in parallel at a glance, but they are connected substantially in series. - Specifically, the left end part (upstream end) of the
reaction vessel 41 a on the top row is connected to the outlet of the minute-ice generator 23 through acommunication tube 42 a. The right end part (downstream end) of thereaction vessel 41 a on the top row communicates with the right end part (upstream end) of thereaction vessel 41 b on the second row through acommunication tube 42. Moreover, the left end part (downstream end) of thereaction vessel 41 b on the second row communicates with the left end part (upstream end) of thereaction vessel 41 c on the third row through acommunication tube 42. In addition, the right end part (downstream end) of thereaction vessel 41 c on the third row communicates with the right end part (upstream end) of thereaction vessel 41 d on the fourth row (lowest row) through acommunication tube 42. Additionally, thereaction vessel 41 d on the lowest row includes adischarge pipe 43 on its left end part (downstream end). - On the other hand, the exhaust
gas circulation loop 25 makes theexhaust gas 1 f circulate along themultiple reaction vessels 41 a to 41 d described above. One end of a piping 45 for circulation loop formation is connected to the left end part of thereaction vessel 41 a on the top row, and the other end is connected to the right end part of thereaction vessel 41 d on the lowest row. In addition, thereaction vessel 41 a on the top row and thereaction vessel 41 b on the second row communicate with each other on their left end parts through acommunication tube 46 a. Thereaction vessel 41 b on the second row and thereaction vessel 41 c on the third row communicate with each other on their right end parts through acommunication tube 46 b. Thereaction vessel 41 c on the third row and thereaction vessel 41 d on the lowest row communicate with each other on their left end parts through acommunication tube 46 c. - The
reaction vessels 41 a to 41 d each include astirrer 47 to stir the minute ice i in thereaction vessels 41 a to 41 d to promote the reaction of the minute ice i with theexhaust gas 1 f. - In addition, the
exhaust gas 1 a (carbon dioxide content: 3% to 4%, temperature: 100° C., and pressure: 0.1 MPa) discharged from the gas-turbine combinedcycle power plant 10 is introduced into theexhaust gas precooler 11, and then precooled in theexhaust gas precooler 11 by use of the low temperature-low pressure (e.g., 0.1 MPa)exhaust gas 1 e. - The low temperature-low
pressure exhaust gas 1 c (for example, −40° C. to −50° C., 0.1 MPa) after precooled by theexhaust gas precooler 11 is pressurized using theexhaust gas compressor 12 to a pressure (e.g., 2 MPa) necessary for the generation of gas hydrate. Theexhaust gas 1 d pressurized by theexhaust gas compressor 12 is supplied to theexhaust gas recooler 13, and recooled in theexhaust gas recooler 13 with the low temperature-high pressure (e.g., −70° C., 2 MPa)exhaust gas 1 b that is discharged from the exhaust gashydrate generating device 14 after carbon dioxide separation and recovery. - Part of the low temperature-high pressure (e.g., −70° C., 2 MPa)
exhaust gas 1 f recooled in theexhaust gas recooler 13 is pressurized to a given pressure (e.g., 2.3 MPa) by theassist gas compressor 21. - When this assist
gas 1 f is supplied to the two-fluid spray nozzle 22, the valve or vent incorporated in the two-fluid spray nozzle 22 is opened as already described. Then, the generation water w pressurized by thegeneration water pump 20 is sprayed in a particulate form within the minute-ice generator 23. This minute particulate water is instantaneously frozen to become the minute ice i because the inside of the minute-ice generator 23 is cooled to a given temperature (e.g., −30° C. to −50° C.) by the coolingjacket 27. - This minute ice i is supplied to the upstream end of the
reaction vessel 41 a on the top row of the exhaustgas hydrate generator 24, and then transported to the downstream end while being stirred by thestirrer 47. On the other hand, the high pressure (e.g., 2 MPa)exhaust gas 1 f supplied to the piping 45 for loop formation from the exhaustgas supply pipe 28 is cooled to a given temperature (e.g., 203 K (−70° C.) to 173 K (−100° C.)) by the circulating-gas cooler 26 that makes use of the cold energy of LNG (b). Then, theexhaust gas 1 f is supplied to the downstream end of thereaction vessel 41 a on the top row. - The minute ice i is transported toward the
reaction vessel 41 d on the lowest row from thereaction vessel 41 a on the top row one after another. The minute ice i is to be discharged, in the end, from thedischarge pipe 43 disposed in thereaction vessel 41 d on the lowest row to the outside of the system. However, while passing through themultiple reaction vessels 41 a to 41 d in a zigzag manner, the ice reacts with carbon dioxide included in theexhaust gas 1 f to become carbon dioxide hydrate c. - As a result, the carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas is incorporated into this carbon dioxide hydrate c by 60% to 80% relative to the carbon dioxide hydrate c. As such, the concentration of the carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas discharged from the
chimney 16 is lowered by the amount. Moreover, the reaction heat generated when the carbon dioxide in the exhaust gas reacts with the minute ice i is removed by the cold energy of theexhaust gas 1 f. - On the other hand, while the
exhaust gas 1 f circulates according to the pathway of the exhaustgas circulation loop 25, part of theexhaust gas 1 f is emitted to the atmosphere via the exhaustgas discharge pipe 30 described above. - The invention can be applied not only to gas-turbine combined cycle power plants, but also widely to facilities that discharge carbon dioxide such as incinerators.
