China Huaneng has applied for a patent related to an electrochemically mediated amine regeneration method for CO2 capture, in order to improve the efficiency of adsorption. According to information from the Intellectual Property Office, China Huaneng Group Clean Energy Technology Research Institute Co., Ltd. has filed a patent titled “System for CO2 capture using an electrochemically mediated amine regeneration method”, with the publication number CN 119746586 A; the application was submitted in January 2025. The patent abstract indicates that this invention relates to the field of carbon dioxide capture technology, and specifically discloses a system for capturing CO2 using an electrochemically mediated amine regeneration method. This system includes an absorption tower, a cooling tank, an electrolyte preheating tank, an electrolytic cell, and heat exchange components. The absorption tower consists of an upper tower section and a lower tower section; the inlet and outlet of the cooling tank are connected to the outlet of the upper tower section and the inlet of the lower tower section, respectively. The inlet of the electrolyte preheating tank is connected to the outlet of the lower tower section. The electrolytic cell has a rich liquid inlet connected to the outlet of the lower tower section, a lean liquid outlet connected to the inlet of the upper tower section, and an exhaust port. The heat exchange components include a first heat exchange tube, a second heat exchange tube, and a first circulation pump, which are connected in sequence. The first heat exchange tube is located within the cooling tank, while the second heat exchange tube is located within the electrolyte preheating tank. By using a heat pump to cool the absorbent while simultaneously supplying heat to the electrolyzer for heating, this invention improves the adsorption efficiency and facilitates a reduction in the electrolysis voltage as well as the separation of CO₂.
