Abstract

The invention relates to a regeneration system for a carbon-rich amine solution produced in carbon dioxide capture from a mixed gas and a method for using the same. This regeneration system is composed of a bipolar membrane electrodialysis apparatus and a carbon dioxide removal apparatus, wherein the bipolar membrane electrodialysis apparatus is composed of a bipolar membrane electrodialysis membrane stack fixed between an anode plate and a cathode plate, the carbon dioxide removal apparatus is composed of one or more hollow fiber membrane contactors, the inlet of the carbon dioxide removal apparatus is fluidly connected with the outlet of the acid chamber of the bipolar membrane electrodialysis apparatus, the outlet of the carbon dioxide removal apparatus is fluidly connected with the acid solution storage tank, and carbon dioxide gas removed by the carbon dioxide removal apparatus is collected in a carbon dioxide storage tank. In the invention, by treating a carbon-rich amine solution having heat stable salts with a combined apparatus of bipolar membrane electrodialysis and carbon dioxide removal, individual operation for conventional heat stripping and organic amine regeneration…
