  • Patent number: 10737213
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a carbon dioxide capturing system includes an absorber configured to include a first contact portion that brings a combustion exhaust gas containing carbon dioxide into contact with an absorbing liquid containing an amine compound, cause the absorbing liquid to absorb at least a portion of the carbon dioxide in the combustion exhaust gas at the first contact portion, and release the combustion exhaust gas. The system further includes a washing apparatus configured to include a second contact portion that brings the combustion exhaust gas released from the first contact portion of the absorber into contact with a washing liquid, and configured such that the combustion exhaust gas and the washing liquid are individually fed to an upstream side of the second contact portion.

  • Patent number: 10596514
    Abstract: An acid-gas capturing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an absorption unit configured to discharge an absorption-unit exhaust gas, and a regeneration unit configured to discharge a regeneration unit exhaust gas. The regeneration unit exhaust gas is compressed in a compression unit. The absorption-unit exhaust gas or the regeneration unit exhaust gas before it is compressed by the compression unit is cleaned in a first cleaning unit by means of a first cleaning liquid. A compression-condensate liquid, which is generated by the compression of the regeneration unit exhaust gas in the compression unit, is mixed into the first cleaning liquid through a first compression-condensate-liquid line whose one end is connected to the compression unit.
