METHOD AND DEVICE FOR PURIFYING A GAS STREAM CONTAINING CARBON DIOXIDE

摘要

A method and a device for purifying a carbon-dioxide-containing gas stream are described, in which the gas stream is first subjected in a lower section (3) of an absorption column (1) to a prescrubbing for conditioning the gas stream and subsequently in an upper section (8) of the absorption column (1) the carbon dioxide is scrubbed out from the gas stream at least in part with a scrubbing liquid. For improving the construction of the absorption column it is proposed that the entire scrubbing liquid loaded with the carbon dioxide which is scrubbed out is taken off from the absorption column (1) and fed to a receiver tank (11) arranged outside the absorption column (1) and subsequently applied to a scrubbing liquid pump (12) which pumps the scrubbing liquid to a scrubbing medium regeneration stage.
