Carbon capture and utilization technologies for lime kiln gas, flue gas, fermentation gas, and other sources


  With the steady advancement of policies related to China’s goals of peaking carbon emissions by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2060, the demand for carbon capture, utilization, and storage (CCUS) technologies targeting various CO₂-containing gas streams in the industrial sector has increased markedly. Carbon-dioxide-rich gas streams such as lime-kiln off-gas, flue gas, and fermentation gas typically operate at low pressures. In response, DakoTech has independently developed two proprietary technologies for the separation and recovery of CO₂: first, a low-pressure CO₂ pressure-swing adsorption (PSA) recovery technology that can purify 8–13 vol% of CO₂ from the feed gas to above 95%, with a CO₂ recovery rate of 70–90%; second, a composite organic-amine absorption-based CO₂ separation technology that uses MEA as the primary solvent, supplemented with active amines, antioxidants, and corrosion inhibitors. This technology boasts high CO₂ absorption capacity, low regeneration energy consumption, virtually elimination of oxygen-induced degradation side reactions, and minimal equipment corrosion, enabling the production of CO₂ product gas with a purity exceeding 99.5%. Further purification and liquefaction can yield industrial-grade or food-grade CO₂ products, thereby realizing both carbon capture and utilization.
