In order to capture low-concentration CO2 in flue gas,the adsorption study is conducted by using self-made TCDS molecular sieve in a 15% CO2/85% N2 system.The relationships between adsorption process conditions and CO2 breakthrough adsorption capacity as well as selectivity are investigated through using a fixed-bed adsorption device.The optimal adsorption conditions are determined as follows:the ratio of silicon to aluminum is 2.0 for the adsorbent,adsorption temperature is 40℃,pressure 150 kPa,and space velocity 150 h-1.Through measuring the adsorption isotherm and mass transfer coefficient of TCDS adsorbent,it is determined that TCDS molecular sieve shows a higher CO2 adsorption capacity at 30℃ and 100 kPa,which can reach 5.2 mol/kg.Furthermore,by means of Aspen Adsorption software,the fixed bed adsorption breakthrough model and two-stage vacuum pressure swing adsorption model are established for capturing low-concentration CO2.The simulation results show that the purity of CO2 product is 95.6%,total CO2 yield is 91.2%,and the energy consumption is 2.16 GJ/t CO2,providing reliable theoretical basis for subsequent engineering design.
