Abstract:
A gas separation system has system input inlet configured to receive a stream mixture including a target gas, one or more spray generators positioned to spray a non-sprayable liquid to change a concentration of the target gas in the non-sprayable liquid, one or more system outlets positioned to outlet an output material, wherein at least one of the system outlets outputs a material having a lower amount of the target gas than the input stream mixture, and a recirculating path connected to the one or more outputs and the input inlet to allow recirculation of the non-sprayable liquid. A method of performing gas separation includes absorbing a target gas from an input stream in a non-sprayable capture liquid, and releasing the target gas in an output gas stream by spraying the non-sprayable capture liquid into a heated volume using a spray generator. A method of performing gas separation includes receiving an input stream that includes a target gas, using one or more spray generators to apply a non-sprayable liquid as a spray to the input stream to change a concentration of the target gas in the liquid, and outputting the liquid with the changed concentration through an outlet.
Abstract:
A gas treatment device uses a gas to be treated which contains an acid compound that dissolves into water to produce acid and a treatment liquid which absorbs the acid compound to phase-separate, to separate an acid compound from the gas to be treated. The gas treatment device includes an absorber which brings the gas to be treated into contact with the treatment liquid; a regenerator 14 which heats the treatment liquid contacting the gas to be treated to separate an acid compound; and a liquid feeding portion which feeds the treatment liquid contacting the gas to be treated in the absorber to the regenerator. In the absorber, the treatment liquid contacting the gas to be treated phase-separates into a first phase portion having a high acid compound content and a second phase portion having a low acid compound content. The liquid feeding portion is configured to introduce, into the regenerator, the treatment liquid with the phase-separated first phase portion and second phase portion mixed.

A hydrocarbon product with a reduced concentration of CS2 therein.
Abstract:
Methods of reducing the water content of a wet gas are presented. In one case, the method includes exposing the gas to an amine-terminated branched polymer solvent to remove a substantial portion of the water from the wet gas, exposing the diluted solvent to carbon dioxide to phase separate the solvent from the water, and regenerating the solvent for reuse by desorbing the carbon dioxide by the application of heat. In another case, the method includes exposing the gas to a cloud-point glycol solvent to remove a substantial portion of the water from the wet gas, heating the diluted solvent to above a cloud point temperature for the solvent so as to create a phase separation of the solvent from the water so as to regenerate the solvent for reuse, and directing the regenerated solvent to a new supply of wet gas for water reduction.
Abstract:
The present disclosure provides improved systems, assemblies and methods to remove and recover CO2 from emissions. More particularly, the present disclosure provides improved membrane contactors configured to remove CO2 from flue gas by temperature swing absorption. In exemplary embodiments, the present disclosure provides a novel hollow fiber membrane contactor that integrates absorption and stripping using a nonvolatile reactive absorbent (e.g., 80% polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer generation 0, and 20% of an ionic liquid (IL)). Equilibrium CO2 absorption in the nonvolatile viscous mixed absorbent is as high as 6.37 mmolCO2/g absorbent in the presence of moisture at 50° C. A novel membrane contactor is provided for CO2 absorption and stripping via a process identified as temperature swing membrane absorption (TSMAB). The contactor integrates non-dispersive gas absorption and hot water-based CO2 stripping in one device/assembly containing two sets of commingled hollow fibers.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a carbon dioxide absorbent comprising a triamine, a diamine and a dialkylene glycol dialkyl ether or trialkylene glycol dialkyl ether. The carbon dioxide absorbent according to the present invention can improve the carbon dioxide absorption capacity, absorption rate, and regeneration performance thereof simultaneously by using the triamine as a main absorbent, the diamine as a rate enhancer, the dialkylene glycol dialkyl ether or trialkylene glycol dialkyl ether as a fine disproportionation agent and a regeneration promoter.
Abstract:
A process for removing sulfur dioxide from a feed gas stream, which comprises (i) contacting the feed gas stream with an aqueous lean absorbing medium comprising a chemical solvent comprising a regenerable absorbent, a physical solvent, and one or more heat stable salts. The regenerable absorbent is an amine. The ratio of the wt % of the physical solvent over that of the regenerable absorbent is 0.5 to 2.5. The ratio of the wt % of heat stable salts over that of the regenerable absorbent is 0.29 to 0.37. The pH of the lean absorbing medium is 6 or less. With the process SO2 can be selectively removed. When the absorbing medium is stripped, a reduced amount of energy is required as compared to known processes.

The present invention relates to a novel class of aminopyridine derivatives with the general formula: wherein R1; R2, R3, and R4 are each independently hydrogen, an alkyl group, —(O—CH2—CH2)n-OH wherein n is an integer from 0 to 8, —CH2—(O—CH2—CH2)n-OH wherein n is an integer from 0 to 8, an hydroxyalkyl group, an aminoalkyl group where the nitrogen can be part of a 5 or 6 ring membered cycle, an alkylene group containing quaternary ammonium, a carboxylic acid and/or a salt thereof, or a sulphonic acid and/or a salt thereof, preferably R1; R2, R3, and R4 are each hydrogen. The compounds are useful for removal of hydrogen sulfide and other impurities from fluid streams containing hydrogen sulfide, including selective removal from such streams which also contain carbon dioxide. Examples of the fluid stream include a gas stream, for example natural gas, synthesis gas, tail gas, refinery gas, or from liquid streams such as liquid or liquefied hydrocarbons, for example Liquefied Petroleum Gas or Natural Gas Liquids.
