Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

An apparatus separating carbon dioxide from combustion gas using separation membranes, which includes: a first separation membrane in which combustion gas is injected into an inlet side of the first separation membrane; a second separation membrane in which residue gas of the first separation membrane is injected into an inlet side of the second separation membrane; and a third separation membrane in which permeate gas of the first separation membrane is injected into an inlet side of the third separation membrane, wherein at least a part of permeate gas of the third separation membrane is captured, and residue gas of the third separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the first separation membrane or the second separation membrane. The present invention can be easily applied to an actual process by efficiently separating carbon dioxide using separation membranes.

First claim

What is claimed is: 1 . A carbon dioxide separation apparatus for separating carbon dioxide from combustion gas using multiple separation membranes, the carbon dioxide separation apparatus comprising: a first separation membrane in which combustion gas is injected into an inlet side of the first separation membrane; a second separation membrane in which residue gas of the first separation membrane is injected into an inlet side of the second separation membrane; and a third separation membrane in which permeate gas of the first separation membrane is injected into an inlet side of the third separation membrane, wherein at least a part of permeate gas of the third separation membrane is captured, and residue gas of the third separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the first separation membrane or the second separation membrane. 2 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least another part of the permeate gas of the third separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the third separation membrane, and the residue gas of the third separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the first separation membrane. 3 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least another part of the permeate gas of the third separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the third separation membrane, and the residue gas of the third separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the second separation membrane. 4 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least a part of permeate gas of the second separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the second separation membrane. 5 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 4 , wherein at least another part of the permeate gas of the second separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the first separation membrane. 6 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein at least a part of permeate gas of the second separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the first separation membrane. 7 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 6 , further comprising: a sensor that senses carbon dioxide concentration of the permeate gas of the second separation membrane or the residue gas of the third separation membrane, which is injected into the inlet side of the first separation membrane. 8 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a pressure unit is provided on at least one inlet side of the first to third separation membranes. 9 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 1 , wherein a decompression unit is provided on at least one permeate side of the first to third separation membranes. 10 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 2 , further comprising: a fourth separation membrane in which permeate gas of the second separation membrane is injected into an inlet side of the fourth separation membrane, wherein residue gas of the fourth separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the second separation membrane, and permeate gas of the fourth separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the first separation membrane. 11 . The carbon dioxide separation apparatus of claim 3 , further comprising: a fourth separation membrane in which permeate gas of the second separation membrane is injected into an inlet side of the fourth separation membrane, wherein residue gas of the fourth separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the second separation membrane, and permeate gas of the fourth separation membrane is injected into the inlet side of the first separation membrane.
