  • Patent number: 11291949
    Abstract: A carbon dioxide separation recovery method includes: bringing a particulate carbon dioxide adsorbent and a treatment target gas containing carbon dioxide into contact with each other to make the carbon dioxide adsorbent adsorb the carbon dioxide contained in the treatment target gas; and bringing the carbon dioxide adsorbent which has adsorbed the carbon dioxide and superheated steam into contact with each other to desorb the carbon dioxide from the carbon dioxide adsorbent and thereby regenerate the carbon dioxide adsorbent, and recovering the desorbed carbon dioxide. A saturation temperature of the superheated steam which is brought into contact with the carbon dioxide adsorbent is not more than a temperature of the carbon dioxide adsorbent which contacts the superheated steam. The regenerated carbon dioxide adsorbent is utilized for adsorption of the carbon dioxide again without being subjected to a drying step.

  • Publication number: 20210268428
    Abstract: An acid gas adsorbent that reversibly adsorbs an acid gas contained in a gas to be processed includes: metal oxide porous material particles; and an acid gas adsorbing agent with which the porous material particles are impregnated. Each of the porous material particles has binary pores including: a mesopore having a pore diameter in a nanometer region of 2 nm or more and 200 nm or less; and a macropore having a pore diameter in a micrometer region of more than 0.2 ?m. The macropore is an empty pore, and the mesopore is filled with the acid gas adsorbing agent.
