The present invention will be described in further detail with reference to specific examples. It is also to be understood that the following examples are given solely for the purpose of illustration and are not to be construed as limitations on the scope of the invention, since various modifications and adaptations may be made by those skilled in the art in light of the teachings herein. The specific process parameters and the like described below are also merely examples of suitable ranges, i.e., one skilled in the art can make a selection within the suitable ranges by the description herein and are not intended to be limited to the specific data described below. The starting materials, reagents or apparatus used in the following examples and comparative examples were obtained from conventional commercial sources or by known methods unless otherwise specified.
A first aspect of an embodiment of the present invention provides a method for measuring a loss rate of an absorbent in an operation process of a carbon capture apparatus, including:
introducing a marker into the absorbent to carry out carbon trapping;
during the operation of the carbon capture device, the concentration of the active component and the concentration of the marker in the absorbent under different time are obtained;
The active component loss rate of the absorbent in different time periods is calculated based on the obtained active component concentration and the marker concentration in the absorbent in different time periods.
The current common method for obtaining the loss rate of the absorbent is to measure the concentration change of the active component in the absorbent, and the method takes water as a reference point in practice, but the water in the system is volatilized or brought in by wet flue gas during the operation of the carbon capture device, so that the total water in the system is continuously changed, and the method takes water as the reference point and has larger measurement deviation. The method introduces the marker into the absorbent, the marker has good stability in the carbon trapping cycle, and the marker is used as a reference point for the concentration change of the active component in the absorbent, so that the loss rate of the active component in the absorbent in the running process of the carbon trapping device can be measured more accurately.
In the present invention, the absorbent loss rate refers to the loss rate of the active component in the absorbent, for example, the loss rate of the amine-based absorbent refers to the loss rate of the amine component in the amine-based absorbent.
In the present invention, the method of introducing the marker may be a mixing method, i.e., the marker is mixed with the absorbent without special treatment.
In some embodiments of the invention, the measurement method comprises:
introducing a marker into the absorbent to carry out carbon trapping;
Acquiring a first concentration of an active component and a first concentration of a marker in the absorbent at a first time;
Acquiring a second concentration of the active component and a second concentration of the marker in the absorbent at a second time;
And calculating the loss rate of the active component of the absorbent in the time period from the first time to the second time based on the obtained first concentration of the active component in the absorbent and the first concentration of the marker at the first time and the obtained second concentration of the active component in the absorbent and the second concentration of the marker at the second time.
In the invention, the first time and the second time can be set according to actual needs, and the loss rate of the active component of the absorbent in any time period can be measured by the method.
In some embodiments of the invention, the active component in the absorbent is designated A 1、A2、……、An, the total active component is designated A Total (S) , the first concentration of the active component in the absorbent at a first time comprises a first concentration of the active component of A 1, a first concentration of the active component of C A1T1、A2, a first concentration of the active component of C A2T1、……、An, C AnT1, the second concentration of the active component in the absorbent at a second time comprises a second concentration of the active component of A 1, C A1T2、A2, a second concentration of the active component of C A2T2、……、An, C AnT2, and the marker is designated K, the concentration of the marker in the absorbent at a first time is C KT1, and the concentration of the marker in the absorbent at a second time is C KT2. Then, the calculation formula of the loss rate of each active component of the absorbent in the time period from the first time to the second time is as follows:
;
;
......
;
Wherein D A1、DA2、DAn is the loss rate of the active component A 1、A2、An respectively.
Taking an active component A 1 in an absorbent as an example, the deduction process of the loss rate calculation formula is as follows:
The absorbent composition at the first time is composed of total active component with mass of M A Total (S) T1 (including A 1 active component with mass of M A1T1), marker with mass of M KT1 and water with mass of M WT1, and then the concentration of the active component of A 1, C A1T1, and the concentration of the marker, C KT1, are:
(1);
(2);
The method can obtain:
(3);
The carbon capture was run for a second time, assuming that at this time the water mass was reduced by Δm W and the total active mass was reduced by Δm A Total (S) (where the a 1 active mass was reduced by Δm A1), while the label was stable in nature, not volatile nor degraded, its mass was unchanged, and was still M KT1. The absorbent composition at this time is composed of a total active component of mass M A Total (S) T1-ΔMA Total (S) (including an a 1 active component of mass M A1T1-ΔMA1), a marker of mass M KT1, and water of mass M WT1-ΔMW, and the concentration C A1T2 of the a 1 active component and the concentration C KT2 of the marker at this time are:
(4);
(5);
The method can obtain:
(6);
The loss rate of the a 1 active ingredient over the period of time from the first time to the second time is noted as D A1, with:
(7);
Substituting the formula (3) and the formula (6) into the formula (7) yields:
(8)。
as can be seen from formula (8), the absorber, after the marker is introduced, only needs to measure the concentrations of the marker and the a 1 active component before and after a period of operation, so as to obtain the accurate loss rate of the a 1 active component.
The derivation of the loss rate calculation formula for the other active component a 2、……、An in the absorbent is the same as the a 1 active component.
In contrast, if the concentration change of a 1 active ingredient and total active ingredient a Total (S) was directly measured by conventional methods alone without introducing a stable marker, the calculation procedure was as follows:
first time:
(9);
(10);
and (2) a second time:
(11);
(12);
Substituting the formula (9) and the formula (11) into the formula (7) yields:
(13);
From the formulae (10) and (12):
(14);
(15);
Substituting the formula (14) and the formula (15) into the formula (13) yields:
(16)。
As can be seen from the formula (16), the concentration change of the A 1 active component is directly measured by adopting a conventional method, the concentration of the A 1 active component and the concentration of the total active component A Total (S) before and after a period of operation are required to be obtained, the total water content and the water change amount in the system are required to be obtained, and the quality of water is continuously changed due to the conditions of volatilization or wet smoke gas and the like in the industrial operation process of the carbon capture system, so that the quality change delta M W of the water before and after the operation cannot be determined, the loss rate D A1 of the A 1 active component cannot be accurately measured, and the conventional method directly assumes that the water quality is not changed, namely delta M W is 0, which obviously leads to measurement deviation.
In some embodiments of the present invention, when the absorbent contains a plurality of active components, the total loss rate D Total (S) of the active components of the absorbent can be calculated by the following formula:
。

CO 2+H2O+CO3 2-→ 2HCO3 -(CO2 absorption reaction);
2HCO 3 -→ CO2↑+H2O+CO3 2-(CO2 desorption reaction).
More specifically, the water-soluble carbonate may be potassium carbonate, sodium carbonate, or a combination thereof, and the water-soluble bicarbonate may be potassium bicarbonate, sodium bicarbonate, or a combination thereof.

Specific examples are provided below to illustrate the invention in further detail.
Example 1
The method for measuring the loss rate of the absorbent in the operation process of the carbon capture device comprises the following specific steps:
The amine components in the carbon capture absorbent were Piperazine (PZ) and 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol (AMP) in amounts of 26wt% and 14wt%, respectively, 20 tons of the absorbent was added to an industrial carbon capture device, and a marker K 2CO3 was added in an amount of 0.1005 ton, and the absorbent was sampled S 1 after the addition of the marker, wherein the marker concentration was 0.5wt%, the potassium ion concentration C K1 = 0.2829wt%, the amine component PZ concentration C PZ1 =23.88 wt%, and the amine component AMP concentration C AMP1 =15.92 wt%. After the absorbent was run for 6 months, S 2 was sampled at the inlet of the absorption column, and after the assay analysis was performed on S 2, the potassium ion concentration C K2 = 0.2363wt% was measured by ion chromatography, the amine component PZ concentration C PZ2 =16.58 wt% was measured by gas chromatography, and the amine component AMP concentration C AMP2 =11.36 wt%.
The loss rate of the amine component PZ at the time of sampling of sample S 1 is:
;
when sample S 1 was sampled, the loss rate of the amine component AMP was:
;
When sample S 1 is sampled, the total amine loss rate of the absorbent is as follows:
。
Comparative example 1
For the carbon capture plant run of example 1, existing conventional method 1 (assuming that the water quality before and after the carbon capture run was unchanged, i.e.=0), The amine component loss rate was calculated as follows:
When sample S 1 was sampled, the loss rate of the amine component PZ was:
;
when sample S 1 was sampled, the loss rate of the amine component AMP was:
;
When sample S 1 is sampled, the total amine loss rate of the absorbent is as follows:
。
Comparative example 2
For the carbon capture plant run of example 1, the amine component loss rate was calculated using the existing conventional method 2 (assuming the total mass of the absorber was unchanged before and after the carbon capture run), as follows:
When sample S 1 was sampled, the loss rate of the amine component PZ was:
;
when sample S 1 was sampled, the loss rate of the amine component AMP was:
;
When sample S 1 is sampled, the total amine loss rate of the absorbent is as follows:
。
To obtain the actual total amine loss rate of the absorber, the carbon capture system was stopped for 6 months of operation, the total amount and concentration of the absorber in the system were measured, and the actual value of the total amine loss rate of the absorber was calculated to be 16.82wt%. It can be seen that, compared with comparative examples 1-2, the loss rate obtained by the method of example 1 is closer to the actual value, and has higher measurement accuracy.
From the above example 1, it can be seen that the measuring method of the present invention, which is not required to measure the total amount and variation of the water component as in the conventional method, can obtain the exact amine component loss rate by introducing the marker into the absorbent, and only measuring the concentrations of the marker and the amine component before and after a certain period of operation. The measuring method of the invention is not influenced by the quality change of the water component in the running process of the carbon trapping device, and the total water in the carbon trapping system is not required to be measured, so that the measuring process is simple and convenient, and the measuring result is accurate.
In addition, K 2CO3 is adopted as a marker, is dissolved in water, has extremely low vapor pressure, is hardly volatilized, does not interfere with the trapping performance of the original absorbent, can promote carbon trapping to a certain extent, and is particularly beneficial to promoting CO 2 absorption reaction and improving carbon trapping efficiency. Under the same carbon trapping conditions such as liquid-gas ratio, the composition of the absorbent is 24wt percent PZ, 16wt percent AMP and 60wt percent water, the CO 2 trapping rate of the absorbent is 91.1 percent, and the composition of the absorbent is 24wt percent PZ, 16wt percent AMP, 0.5wt percent K 2CO3 and 59.5wt percent water, and the CO 2 trapping rate of the absorbent is 91.4 percent. It can be seen that the CO 2 capturing rate of the carbon capturing system is improved after K 2CO3 is added as a marker.
In summary, the marker is introduced into the absorbent and is used as a reference point for the concentration change of the active component in the absorbent, so that the loss rate of the active component in the absorbent in the operation process of the carbon capture device can be measured more accurately, further, the degradation resistance and the loss cost of the absorbent can be evaluated accurately, and the more stable absorbent can be developed.
