Abstract
A COrecovery unit for recovery and removal of COin a CO-containing flue gas using a CO-absorbent within a COabsorber is provided. The COabsorber includes a CO-absorbing unit for the absorption of COin a CO-containing flue gas, a main water rinsing unit that is provided on a gas flow downstream side of the CO-absorbing unit and that uses rinsing water to recover the accompanying CO-absorbent while cooling decarbonated flue gas, and a preliminary water rinsing unit provided between the CO-absorbing unit and the main water rinsing unit. A portion of the rinsing water containing the CO-absorbent that is circulated in the main water rinsing unit is withdrawn and is subjected to preliminary water rinsing in the preliminary water rinsing unit. The preliminary rinsing water is allowed to meet with a CO-absorbent while allowing the rinsing water to directly flow down on the CO-absorbing unit side.
