Abstract
A reclaiming apparatusincludes: a sealed containerthat is an absorbent reservoir for storing therein a part of an absorbent that has absorbed COin flue gas, and a heater that heats the absorbent stored in the sealed container. The reclaiming apparatusdistributes a part of the absorbent stored in the sealed container, and brings the distributed absorbent into counter-current contact with steam. Because a part of the absorbent stored in the absorbent reservoir is brought into counter-current contact with the steam, absorbent component contained therein becomes volatilized, and is separated from depleted materials. In this manner, the absorbent component can be extracted from the depleted materials, and a loss of the absorbent can be reduced.
