  • Patent number: 10569216
    Abstract: A device for separating carbon dioxide from a gas stream, in particular from a flue gas stream, includes an absorber for separating the carbon dioxide from the gas stream by means of a washing medium, a desorber which is fludically connected to the absorber to release the absorbed carbon dioxide from the washing medium, a gas cooler which is fludically connected upstream of the absorber to cool the gas stream, and a processing unit which is connected downstream of the gas cooler and which is equipped and designed to clean water from the gas cooler. A method separates carbon dioxide from a gas stream.

  • Patent number: 10537846
    Abstract: A method for separating carbon dioxide from a gas stream, in particular from a flue gas stream, wherein, a gas stream is brought into contact with a washing medium in an absorber of a separation device and the carbon dioxide contained in the gas stream is separated; the charged washing medium is supplied to a desorber of the separation device to release the carbon dioxide; a vapor stream is removed from the desorber and is supplied to a cooling unit to form a condensate; degradation products, in particular nitrosamines, contained in at least a partial stream of the condensate are photolytically decomposed to decomposition products; at least the decomposition products, in particular nitrites and amines, are removed; and at least a partial stream of the condensate is returned to the desorber. A corresponding separation device separates carbon dioxide from a gas stream.

  • Patent number: 10213728
    Abstract: A method for separating carbon dioxide from a gas flow, in particular from a flue gas flow, where a gas flow is brought in contact with a scrubbing medium in an absorber of a separating device and carbon dioxide contained in the gas flow is separated, the loaded scrubbing medium is fed to a desorber of the separating device in order to release the carbon dioxide, a vapor flow is drawn from the desorber and is fed to a cooling device in order to form condensate, and the condensate formed in the cooling device is at least partially fed to a purifying device, in which degradation products contained in the condensate are removed by reverse osmosis and/or by an ion exchanger. A separating device is adapted for separating carbon dioxide from a gas flow.

  • Publication number: 20180117530
    Abstract: A device for separating carbon dioxide from a gas flow, in particular from a flue gas flow, having an absorption unit for separating carbon dioxide from the gas flow using a scrubbing medium, a desorption unit which is fluidically connected to the absorption unit for releasing the absorbed carbon dioxide from the scrubbing medium, and a compressor unit which is connected fluidically downstream of the desorption unit for compressing the released carbon dioxide, the compressor unit being connected fluidically upstream of a cleaning device for the carbon dioxide. A method separates carbon dioxide from a gas flow, in particular from a flue gas flow.

  • Patent number: 6433194
    Abstract: Process for the removal of trioxane from a liquid mixture comprising trioxane, formaldehyde, alcohol, hemiformals formed from the form-aldehyde and the alcohol, usual secondary components arising in the preparation of trioxane, and, in addition or as an alternative to the alcohol and the hemiformals, water, in which the trioxane is transferred into the gas phase by vaporization or evaporation and subsequently converted into a liquid state by condensation and obtained as condensate or converted into a solid state by desublimation and obtained as desublimate. Through the process, an increase in the concentration of the trioxane by 2.5 times or more is achieved.

  • Patent number: 6201136
    Abstract: In a process for separating liquid mixtures comprising formaldehyde, trioxane, alcohol, hemiformal formed from the formaldehyde and the alcohol, usual minor components and up to 5% by weight of water, the liquid mixture is distilled batchwise or continuously at reduced pressure, atmospheric pressure or superatmospheric pressure in suitable apparatuses which are to be connected to one another in an appropriate manner, and the trioxane is produced in very high purity. The other materials of value, formaldehyde and alcohol, present in the mixture can likewise optionally be separated off and recycled or used otherwise, while the minor components are ejected.
