Abstract:
In regenerating carbon dioxide capturing material, the amount of regeneration gas supplied to a carbon dioxide recovery column is reduced for higher energy efficiency and shortened regeneration time. A carbon dioxide recovery apparatus includes a carbon dioxide sorbing column, a heating unit, and first, second, and third channels. The carbon dioxide sorbing column contains a carbon dioxide capturing material. The heating unit heats the carbon dioxide capturing material. A carbon-dioxide-containing gas is introduced via the first channel into the carbon dioxide sorbing column. The regeneration gas is introduced via the second channel into the carbon dioxide sorbing column. A gaseous mixture containing a gas desorbed from the carbon dioxide capturing material is recovered via the third channel. The heating unit preheats the carbon dioxide capturing material, and then the regeneration gas is introduced into the carbon dioxide sorbing column to recover carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide capturing material.
Abstract:
Provided is an air conditioner 100 used in a space R containing a gas having a concentration of carbon dioxide of 5000 ppm or less, the air conditioner 100 including a flow path 10 connected to the space R, in which a removal section 10c for removing carbon dioxide contained in the gas is disposed in the flow path 10, an adsorbent 80 containing cerium oxide is disposed in the removal section 10c, and the carbon dioxide adsorbs on the adsorbent 80 as the adsorbent 80 comes into contact with the gas.
Abstract:
A carbon dioxide separation/recovery device for separating and recovering carbon dioxide from a gas to be processed and containing nitrogen oxides and carbon dioxide by using a carbon dioxide scavenger, including a carbon dioxide trapping unit having the carbon dioxide scavenger, in which the carbon dioxide trapping unit includes: a gas flow inlet which introduces the gas to be processed; a heating unit of heating a scavenger heating gas used upon desorption of carbon dioxide trapped by the carbon dioxide scavenger to a predetermined temperature; a cooling gas introduction port which introduces a scavenger cooling gas used when cooling the carbon dioxide scavenger; and a moisture mixing part which adds moisture to a gas for nitrogen oxide desorption used in desorption of nitrogen oxides from the carbon dioxide scavenger. Consequently, NOx accumulated to the carbon dioxide scavenger is desorbed, thereby capable of suppressing lowering in the performance of the carbon dioxide scavenger and reducing the running cost.
Abstract:
Provided is an exhaust-gas treatment equipment including: a reaction container filled with a gas capture material that captures a particular gas component, the reactor container emitting gas obtained by removing the particular gas component from supplied gas by reaction of the supplied gas with the gas capture material; a temperature measuring element disposed in the reaction container, the temperature measuring element measuring a temperature of the gas capture material in the reaction container; a moving unit that freely moves the temperature measuring element in a direction that is parallel to a flow of the supplied gas flowing in the reaction container; and a control unit that estimates a deterioration state of the gas capture material using temperatures of the gas capture material at a plurality of different positions in the reaction container, the temperatures being measured by the temperature measuring element.
