Abstract:
Provided herein is a method for absorbing CO 2  from a gas mixture. The method includes using an apparatus comprised of a first RPB unit and a second RPB unit. The first RPB unit and the second RPB unit are arranged to absorb CO 2  in a first gas stream and a second gas stream, respectively. A liquid CO 2 -absorbent is supplied sequentially passing through the first RPB unit and the second RPB unit to absorb CO 2  in the first gas stream and the second gas stream. The liquid CO 2 -absorbent is regenerated to produce a regenerated CO 2 -absorbent. The regenerated CO 2 -absorbent is transported to the first RPB unit.

Claim (Index 1):
A method for absorbing CO 2  from a gas mixture, comprising:\n providing or receiving a first rotating packed bed (RPB) unit comprising a first RPB, a first gas inlet, a first gas outlet, a first CO 2 -absorbent inlet, and a first CO 2 -absorbent outlet, and a second RPB unit comprising a second RPB, a second gas inlet, a second gas outlet, a second CO 2 -absorbent inlet and a second CO 2 -absorbent outlet, wherein the first CO 2 -absorbent outlet of the first RPB unit is connected to the second CO 2 -absorbent inlet of the second RPB unit; transporting a first gas stream containing CO 2  from the first gas inlet through the first RPB to the first gas outlet, wherein the first gas stream has a first CO 2  volumetric percentage ranged from 1 vol % to 30 vol %; transporting a second gas stream containing CO 2  from the second gas inlet through the second RPB to the second gas outlet, wherein the second gas stream has a second CO 2  volumetric percentage ranged from 1 vol % to 30 vol %; transporting a CO 2 -absorbent from the first CO 2 -absorbent inlet through the first RPB, the first CO 2 -absorbent outlet, the second CO 2 -absorbent inlet and the second RPB to the second CO 2 -absorbent outlet in sequence such that the CO 2 -absorbent absorbs the CO 2  in the first and the second gas streams, thereby generating a CO 2 -absorbed absorbent; regenerating the CO 2 -absorbed absorbent discharged from the second CO 2 -absorbent outlet, wherein the regenerating the CO 2 -absorbed absorbent comprises converting a portion of the absorbed CO 2  in the CO 2 -absorbed absorbent into gaseous CO 2  to produce a regenerated CO 2 -absorbent; and transporting the regenerated CO 2 -absorbent to the first CO 2 -absorbent inlet.
