Description
本発明は、排ガス処理方法、二酸化炭素の固定化方法、及びアルカリ土類金属の炭酸塩の精製方法に関する。
The present invention relates to an exhaust gas treatment method, a carbon dioxide fixation method, and a method for purifying alkaline earth metal carbonates.
大気中の二酸化炭素濃度の上昇を抑えるために、工場等の排ガス中の二酸化炭素(CO2)を回収して地中に貯留すること(CCS;Carbon dioxide Capture and Storage)が検討されている。CCSでは、例えば、CO2をアミン等のアルカリ性水溶液に吸収させた後、CO2を吸収した水溶液を加熱することによりCO2を高濃度で含むガスを回収して、回収したガスが地中に排出する。
In order to prevent the increase in the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere, carbon dioxide ( CO2 ) in exhaust gas from factories and other sources is being captured and stored underground (CCS; Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage). In CCS, for example, CO2 is absorbed in an alkaline aqueous solution of an amine or the like, and then the aqueous solution that has absorbed the CO2 is heated to capture gas containing a high concentration of CO2 , which is then discharged into the ground.
近年、CCSではエネルギー効率を高めることが検討されている。例えば、特許文献1には、CO2の吸収液を再生するために要するエネルギーを削減して操業費用を低減可能な二酸化炭素の回収方法及び回収装置が開示されている。
In recent years, efforts have been made to improve the energy efficiency of CCS. For example, Patent Literature 1 discloses a carbon dioxide capture method and capture device that can reduce the energy required to regenerate a CO2 absorbing solution and thereby reduce operating costs.
CCSにおいて、CO2を回収する場所(CO2回収場所)と、CO2を貯留する場所(CO2貯留場所)とが離れていることがある。このとき、回収されたCO2は、低温・高圧下で液化された後、耐低温及び/又は耐高圧の容器に充填されて、船等の輸送手段によってCO2回収場所からCO2貯留場所に輸送される。そのため、CO2を輸送する際に、低温・高圧の操作が必要となるため、CO2の輸送には多大なエネルギーが必要となる。
In CCS, the place where CO2 is captured ( CO2 capture site) and the place where CO2 is stored ( CO2 storage site) may be separated. In this case, the captured CO2 is liquefied under low temperature and high pressure, filled into a low temperature and/or high pressure resistant container, and transported from the CO2 capture site to the CO2 storage site by a transport means such as a ship. Therefore, low temperature and high pressure operations are required when transporting CO2 , and therefore a large amount of energy is required for transporting CO2 .
そこで、本発明の一側面は、CO2回収場所とCO2貯留場所とが離れている場合において、エネルギー効率を向上させた排ガス処理方法を提供することを目的とする。また、本発明の他の側面は、上記の方法の一部を構成する二酸化炭素の固定化方法、及びアルカリ土類金属の炭酸塩の精製方法を提供することを目的とする。
Therefore, one aspect of the present invention aims to provide an exhaust gas treatment method with improved energy efficiency when a CO2 capture site and a CO2 storage site are separated from each other. Another aspect of the present invention aims to provide a carbon dioxide fixation method constituting a part of the above-mentioned method, and a method for purifying an alkaline earth metal carbonate.

排ガスは、移送管L11を通じてCO2吸収装置11に移送される。CO2吸収装置11は、排ガスとアルカリ性溶液とを接触させ、排ガス中のCO2を吸収する装置である。CO2吸収装置11には、移送管L12と移送管L13とが接続されている。
The exhaust gas is transferred to the CO2 absorbing device 11 through a transfer pipe L11. The CO2 absorbing device 11 is a device that brings the exhaust gas into contact with an alkaline solution to absorb the CO2 in the exhaust gas. The CO2 absorbing device 11 is connected to a transfer pipe L12 and a transfer pipe L13.
排ガスは、例えば、工場等からの排ガスであってもよく、後述の輸送手段(船、ディーゼル機関車、鉄道、トラック等)から生じる排ガスであってもよい。排ガスは、CO2を少なくとも含む。排ガスは、硫黄酸化物(SOX)及び/又は窒素酸化物(NOX)を更に含んでもよい。排ガスが硫黄酸化物及び/又は窒素酸化物を含む場合、CO2吸収装置11は、排ガス中のCO2と共に硫黄酸化物及び/又は窒素酸化物を吸収する装置であってもよい。移送管L11を通じて移送される排ガスは、CO2吸収装置11におけるCO2の吸収効率を高める観点から、60℃以上に加温されていてもよい。
The exhaust gas may be, for example, exhaust gas from a factory or the like, or exhaust gas generated from a transportation means (ship, diesel locomotive, railway, truck, etc.) described later. The exhaust gas contains at least CO2 . The exhaust gas may further contain sulfur oxides ( SOx ) and/or nitrogen oxides ( NOx ). When the exhaust gas contains sulfur oxides and/or nitrogen oxides, the CO2 absorption device 11 may be a device that absorbs the sulfur oxides and/or nitrogen oxides together with the CO2 in the exhaust gas. The exhaust gas transferred through the transfer pipe L11 may be heated to 60°C or higher from the viewpoint of increasing the absorption efficiency of CO2 in the CO2 absorption device 11.
