The present disclosure belongs to the technical field of carbon capture, and specifically relates to a movable carbon capture system combined with agricultural and indoor environment control function.
As the pace of life is continuously accelerated and the pressure of life is continuously increased, the time for people to work intensively is continuously prolonged. CO2 is an important factor influencing the quality of indoor air, and if the concentration cannot be effectively controlled, people working in buildings for a long time are likely to feel uncomfortable. The volume concentration of carbon dioxide in fresh air is 0.036-0.0039%, the increase of the concentration of carbon dioxide can cause the increase of blood pressure and dyspnea, and the importance of improving the indoor air quality is self-evident.
On one hand, the technology of directly capturing carbon from the interior of the building can effectively reduce the CO2 concentration in the building and improve the indoor air quality. The carbon capture process in the adsorption method is simple, and is suitable for distributed carbon capture systems. The enriched CO2 is mainly used in the aspects of food processing, oil displacement and the like, and is not effectively utilized in other fields.
On the other hand, CO2 is a raw material for photosynthesis of plants, and plays an important role in promoting growth of the plants, so that it is of significant meaning to improve the CO2 concentration in the greenhouse. Common methods for increasing the CO2 concentration in the greenhouse include a chemical method, a combustion method, a biological method, application of a large amount of organic fertilizer and the like. However, the methods often have the problems of high cost, environmental pollution and the like.
Some inventors have tried to make innovations in terms of increasing CO2 concentration in the greenhouse. For example, the patent with the publication number of CN109601201A provides a system for applying CO2 to a greenhouse by using a normal-pressure hot-water boiler and a treatment method of the greenhouse, and necessary CO2 is provided for the growth of crops by utilizing flue gas discharged from a hot-water boiler system through efficient utilization of waste gas; and meanwhile, the flue gas exhausted by the hot-water boiler is treated, and cleaning treatment and utilization of the flue gas are achieved. The patent with the publication number of CN108753843A utilizes the byproduct CO2 generated in the biogas engineering purification process to solve the problem of CO2 deficiency in greenhouse production in winter, meanwhile, according to the crop photosynthesis law, staged and precise CO2 release is achieved, and the agricultural production efficiency is greatly improved; and through CO2 gas fertilization, the maximum resource utilization of organic wastes is realized, and the carbon pollution of large biogas engineering is reduced. The patent with the publication number of CN207383068U provides a greenhouse CO2 gas applying device, CO2 can be automatically produced by utilizing a lime powder box and a diluted hydrochloric acid box, the CO2 is stored in a storage tank, and the generated CO2 is introduced into a greenhouse. The patent with the publication number CN108031238A, the patent with the publication number CN109258241A, the patent with the publication number CN206193515U and the like are similar methods for increasing the concentration of CO2 at home and abroad. However, the innovation point of the above patents lies in that the CO2 concentration in the greenhouse is increased through industrial means, and that the CO2 in the closed space is a source of carbon fertilizer is rarely reported.
Other inventors have tried to make innovations in the use of CO2. For example, the patent with the publication number of CN109534959A provides a method for decomposing sodium phenolate by utilizing CO2, a water phase containing sodium bicarbonate is generated, the PH value of the water phase is controlled, primary crude phenol is mixed with water for secondary decomposition, and high sodium phenolate decomposition rate and crude phenol content are achieved.

The patent with the publication number CN105819445A provides a method for sealing CO2 in deep sea, energy is released by utilizing energy storage and phase change of CO2, CO2 collection, compression, transportation and injection equipment is driven to carry out CO2 capture, dry ice preparation, transportation and injection into the seabed, green energy is fully utilized, the cost of the CO2 sealing process is effectively reduced, and atmospheric pollution and greenhouse effect are reduced. However, the utilization of CO2 in the above patents is limited, is basically based on industrial application, and is not tightly combined with actual work and life.
