[0024]
 The general feature of the absorbent component (a) secondary chain monoamine in the present invention is that the reaction with CO 2 in the exhaust gas produces a carbamate containing the absorbent amine in the molecule and immobilizes CO 2 . Therefore, the absorption capacity has high characteristics.
 However, under high concentration conditions, it is necessary to prevent deterioration of absorption rate, absorption performance and regeneration performance due to an increase in the viscosity of the absorbent liquid.
 On the other hand, (b) tertiary chain monoamine, which is another component of the present invention, does not generate carbamate by reaction with CO 2 , but dissolves CO 2 mainly as a bicarbonate, so that the absorption performance is ( a) Although it is not as good as secondary chain monoamine, it can relatively moderate the increase in the viscosity of the absorbent liquid even under high concentration conditions, and has excellent regeneration performance.

[0032]
In addition, the CO 2 partial pressure at the inlet of the CO 2 absorption tower at the time of absorption to absorb CO 2  in the gas to be treated should be a low CO 2 partial pressure (for example, 0.003 to 0.1 MPa) for chemical absorption. Preferred from the application of the law.

[0035]
The process that can be adopted by the method of removing CO 2 and / or H 2S  in the gas of the present invention is not particularly limited, but an example of a removing device that removes CO 2 will be described with reference to FIG.
[0036]
FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing the configuration of the  CO 2 recovery device according to the first embodiment. As shown in FIG. 1, the CO 2 recovery device 12 according to the first embodiment cools an exhaust gas 14 containing CO 2 and O 2 discharged from an industrial combustion facility 13 such as a boiler or a gas turbine with cooling water 15. The exhaust gas cooling device 16 is brought into contact with the exhaust gas 14 containing cooled CO 2 and the CO 2 absorbing liquid (hereinafter, also referred to as “absorbing liquid”) 17 for absorbing CO 2 to generate CO 2 from the exhaust gas 14 . CO 2 is regenerated by releasing CO 2 from a CO 2 absorption tower 18 having a CO 2 recovery unit 18A to be removed and a CO 2 absorbing solution ( hereinafter , also referred to as “ rich solution”) 19 that has absorbed CO 2 . It has an absorption liquid regeneration tower 20 and the like. Then, in this CO 2 recovery device 12, CO 2 is generated in the absorbent liquid regeneration tower 20. The regenerated CO 2 absorbing liquid (hereinafter, also referred to as “lean solution”) 17 from which the above is removed is reused as a CO 2 absorbing liquid in the CO 2 absorbing tower 18 .
[0037]
 In FIG. 1, reference numeral 13a is a flue, 13b is a chimney, and 34 is steam condensed water. The CO 2 recovery device 12 may be retrofitted to recover CO 2 from an existing exhaust gas source , or may be simultaneously attached to a new exhaust gas source. A damper that can be opened and closed is installed in the line of the exhaust gas 14, and is opened when the CO 2 recovery device 12 is in operation. Although the exhaust gas source is operating, it is set to be closed when the operation of the CO 2 recovery device 12 is stopped.
[0038]
 In the CO 2 recovery method using the CO 2 recovery device 12 , first, the exhaust gas 14 from the industrial combustion equipment 13 such as a boiler or a gas turbine containing CO 2 is boosted by the exhaust gas blower 22 and then the exhaust gas cooling device. It is sent to 16, where it is cooled by the cooling water 15 and sent to the CO 2 absorption tower 18.
[0039]
 In the CO 2 absorption tower 18, the exhaust gas 14 is in countercurrent contact with the CO 2 absorption liquid 17 which is the amine absorption liquid according to the present embodiment, and the CO 2 in the exhaust gas 14 is absorbed by the CO 2 absorption liquid 17 by a chemical reaction. Will be done. The CO 2 removed exhaust gas after CO 2 is removed by the CO 2 recovery unit 18A is the circulating washing water 21 and the gas liquid containing the CO 2 absorbing liquid supplied from the nozzle in the water washing unit 18B in the CO 2 absorption tower 18. Upon contact, the CO 2 absorbing liquid 17 accompanying the CO 2 removed exhaust gas is recovered, and then the CO 2 removed exhaust gas 23 is released to the outside of the system. Further, the rich solution 19 which is a CO 2 absorbing liquid that has absorbed CO 2 is boosted by the rich solution pump 24, and the CO 2 absorbing liquid 17 regenerated in the absorbing liquid regeneration tower 20 in the rich lean solution heat exchanger 25. It is heated by the lean solution and supplied to the absorption liquid regeneration tower 20.
[0040]
 The rich solution 19 discharged from the upper part of the absorption liquid regeneration tower 20 to the inside causes an endothermic reaction by the water vapor supplied from the bottom part, and releases most of CO 2 . The CO 2 absorption liquid that has released a part or most of CO 2 in the absorption liquid regeneration tower 20 is called a semi-lean solution. By the time the semi-lean solution reaches the bottom of the absorption liquid regeneration tower 20, it becomes a CO 2 absorption liquid (lean solution) 17 from which almost all CO 2 has been removed . A part of this lean solution 17 is superheated by steam 27 in the reboiler 26, and steam for CO 2 desorption is supplied to the inside of the absorption liquid regeneration tower 20.
[0041]
 On the other hand, from the top of the absorption liquid regeneration tower 20, a CO 2 accompanying gas 28 accompanied by water vapor released from the rich solution 19 and the semi-lean solution is derived in the tower, the water vapor is condensed by the condenser 29, and the separation drum 30 is used. The water is separated at, the CO 2 gas 40 is released to the outside of the system, and the CO 2 gas 40 is separately compressed by the compressor 41 and recovered. After passing through the separation drum 43, the compressed / recovered CO 2 gas 42 is either press-fitted into an oil field using an enhanced oil recovery method (EOR) or stored in an aquifer for warming. We are taking measures. The recirculated water 31 separated and recirculated from the CO 2 concomitant gas 28 accompanied by water vapor by the separation drum 30 is supplied to the upper part of the absorption liquid regeneration tower 20 and the washing water 21 side by the recirculation water circulation pump 35, respectively. The regenerated CO 2 absorbent (lean solution) 17 is cooled by the rich solution 19 in the rich lean solution heat exchanger 25, subsequently boosted by the lean solution pump 32, and further by the lean solution cooler 33. After being cooled, it is supplied into the CO 2 absorption tower 18. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, only the outline thereof is explained, and some of the attached devices are omitted.
