  • Publication number: 20250018340
    Abstract: A method for capturing and purifying carbon dioxide includes: performing a process of a carbon dioxide capture on a target component by using an alkaline solution to obtain an aqueous solution containing carbonate; mixing at least a part of the aqueous solution containing carbonate with crude oxygen containing carbon dioxide generated during a step of a carbon dioxide separation to obtain oxygen and an aqueous solution containing bicarbonate; performing an electrolysis on the aqueous solution containing bicarbonate to obtain anode gas, hydrogen and a regenerated alkaline solution; and performing the step of the carbon dioxide separation on the anode gas to obtain liquid carbon dioxide and crude oxygen containing carbon dioxide. In the above method, energy consumption of an electrolysis can be effectively reduced, and a purity of liquid carbon dioxide can be improved.

  • Publication number: 20250018329
    Abstract: A method for capturing carbon dioxide includes: spraying an alkaline solution through a first spray structure; temporarily storing a solution, in a first temporary storage structure, and making the solution flow out through the first spray structure; detecting a concentration of hydroxide and/or a concentration of carbonate of the solution, and supplementing one of an alkaline solution and water into the first temporary storage structure according to the concentration of the hydroxide and/or the concentration of the carbonate; and in a case that the concentration of the hydroxide is less than or equal to m and the concentration of the carbonate is n, controlling a first pump body or a third pump body to stop running, so that the solution enters an electrolysis device for an electrolysis. Adopting the present disclosure solves problems in that capture efficiency of carbon dioxide gas and overall energy consumption are relatively difficult to control.

  • Publication number: 20250018338
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a carbon dioxide capture method for coupled staged electrolysis/pyrolysis hydrogen production. The method includes: capturing CO2 in a target component by using an alkaline solution and obtaining a carbonate solution; enabling the carbonate solution to be subjected to mild electrolysis, obtaining a hydroxide and H2 at a cathode, obtaining bicarbonate and a mixed gas of O2/CO2 mixed gas at an anode, and absorbing the CO2 from the mixed gas through a small absorption tower to obtain pure oxygen; recycling the hydroxide to serve as a capture agent; and pyrolyzing the bicarbonate to obtain pure CO2. According to the method for cyclically absorbing/releasing the CO2 by using the alkaline solution, a technology for capturing CO2 within a wide concentration range may be provided.

  • Publication number: 20250018339
    Abstract: Disclosed are a method and an apparatus for carbon capture coupled hydrogen production. The method includes: capturing low-concentration CO2 by a solution of an alkali metal hydroxide to obtain a low-concentration CO2 absorption solution; capturing high-concentration CO2 by a first portion of the low-concentration CO2 absorption solution to obtain a high-concentration CO2 absorption solution; and performing electrolysis by a second portion of the low-concentration CO2 absorption solution as a catholyte solution, using the high-concentration CO2 absorption solution as an anolyte, and using a non-ionic diaphragm as a diaphragm. According to the method, capture of CO2 in a wide concentration range can be realized; electrolysis is performed by a non-ionic diaphragm, to implement regeneration of an absorption solution coupled hydrogen production; capture costs of CO2 in a wide concentration range can be reduced; additional products of H2 and O2 can be obtained; and hydrogen production costs can be reduced.

  • Publication number: 20240273673
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure provide an image processing method, device and apparatus, an electronic device, a computer-readable storage medium, a computer program product, and a computer program. The method comprises: obtaining a hash value of a pixel of a low-resolution image; finding a filter bank corresponding to the hash value; respectively filtering the regions corresponding to the pixels in the low-resolution image according to multiple filters in the filter bank such that each filter outputs a filtered pixel value; and writing each filtered pixel value into a corresponding coordinate position of a high-resolution image, thereby realizing super-resolution processing of the image and obtaining a high-resolution image. In the present disclosure, since the pixels in the low-resolution image are filtered, the number of pixels filtered is lower, and the processing efficiency is significantly improved.
