Abstract
A carrier of a catalyst for treating a CO-coupled oxalate synthesis tail gas is provided. The carrier consists of Al
Description
The invention relates to a catalyst for treating a tail gas.
Oxalate is an important organic chemical raw material that can be used in fine chemicals to produce various dyes, medicines, solvents, extraction agents and various intermediates. Among them, hydrogenation of oxalate can be used to prepare a very important chemical raw material ethylene glycol. The synthesis of oxalate is an important step in the coal to ethylene glycol process. In the process of CO coupling synthesis of oxalate, the system pressure can be high due to the generation of an exhaust gas or tail gas, and thus it is necessary to periodically discharge the gas to release the pressure in the system. In this process, nitrogen oxides and alkyl nitrite in the system are released into the atmosphere, causing environmental pollution.
Among current technologies for treatment of a tail gas generated during oxalate synthesis by CO coupling, new processes or equipment are disclosed in most patents to reduce nitrogen oxides in the tail gas. As reported in Chinese Patent No. CN100493674C, the tail gas is first absorbed by an alkyl alcohol and then enters a catalyst bed for treatment. The treatment method not only requires high-energy consumption, but also has a low nitrogen oxide removal rate. The treated tail gas does not meet the emission standard. Chinese Patent No. CN102218259B reports the use of two rotating packed beds to treat a tail gas. Although the purpose of reducing nitrogen oxides is achieved, the energy consumption is high in the rotating bed and alkyl alcohol recycling.
There remains a new for an effective and efficient catalyst for reducing nitrogen oxides and alkyl nitrite in a tail gas.

- A process for preparing the carrier of claim 1, comprising:(a) dissolving a carrier precursor and two surfactants of different molecular weights in water to make an aluminum solution;(b) adjusting pH of the aluminum solution to 2-5;(c) aging the acidic aluminum solution to make an aluminum sol;(d) drying the aluminum sol to form a dry sample;(e) grounding the dry sample to make a grounded dry sample;(f) calcining the grounded dry sample to make Al 2O 3 powder; and(g) making Al 2O 3 particles from the Al 2O 3 powder, whereby a carrier consisting of Al 2O 3 particles is prepared.
- The process of claim 12, wherein each of the surfactants is selected from the group consisting of PEG300, PEG3000, PEG10000 and a combination thereof.
- A process for preparing the catalyst of claim 9, comprising:(a) adding the carrier of claim 1 into a solution comprising an active component precursor and a solvent;(b) removing the solvent to make a sample; and(c) calcining the sample, whereby the catalyst is prepared.
- A method for treating a CO-coupled oxalate synthesis tail gas having nitrogen oxides at a level higher than 80 ppm, comprising exposing the tail gas to an effective amount of the catalyst of claim 9, wherein the catalyst has been reduced, whereby the level of the nitrogen oxides in the tail gas is lowed to below 50 ppm.
