CARBON DIOXIDE SEPARATION METHOD AND APPARATUS
First Claim
1. A carbon dioxide separation method using a carbon dioxide adsorbent which is a porous material loaded with an amine compound, the method comprising:
- adsorbing carbon dioxide by causing a gas, which is to be treated, to come into contact with the carbon dioxide adsorbent;
desorbing, from the carbon dioxide adsorbent by using a heated gas stream, carbon dioxide that has been adsorbed to the carbon dioxide adsorbent; and
reloading the amine compound onto the porous material of the carbon dioxide adsorbent.

Abstract
A carbon dioxide separation method and a carbon dioxide separation apparatus capable of maintaining a carbon dioxide adsorption capacity for a long term by collecting an amine compound that evaporates during an operation of the apparatus and reloading the amine compound onto a carbon dioxide adsorbent. An amine collector and an amine aqueous solution preparation device are connected to an adsorbent-packed tank packed with a carbon dioxide adsorbent. An amine compound that evaporates from the carbon dioxide adsorbent during an operation of the apparatus is collected by the amine collector into the amine aqueous solution preparation device. The collected amine compound is reloaded onto the carbon dioxide adsorbent via a supply line.
