Background
The new material for military and civil integration is upgraded to the national strategy, and the demand of national defense key engineering, high-precision weapon equipment, medicine, electronics, air and water purification on high-end adsorption materials is urgent. The asphalt-based spherical activated carbon is prepared by taking coal asphalt with a high softening point (the softening point is 240-280 ℃) as a raw material and refined naphthalene as a pore-forming agent through spheroidization, extraction, oxidation without melting, carbonization and steam activation. The carbon adsorption material is a carbon adsorption material with a particle size of 0.1-1.5 mm, a spherical structure, high strength and a structure rich in micropores (the aperture is 0.4-2 nm). Compared with the existing commercial granular, columnar and powdery activated carbon, the asphalt-based spherical activated carbon not only has good adsorption selectivity, high adsorption capacity and high strength, but also has the advantages of high filling density and rapid adsorption and desorption by adopting an electrolytic adsorption technology in the actual use process; compared with resin-based spherical activated carbon, the resin-based spherical activated carbon needs to be subjected to a sulfuric acid sulfonation reaction in the preparation process to improve the heat-resistant temperature of the resin ball, and therefore, the problems of serious equipment corrosion and difficult engineering amplification are brought. Therefore, the asphalt-based spherical activated carbon has better development prospect than resin-based spherical activated carbon, has wider application field than commercially available activated carbon, and has important significance for promoting the development of national defense, medicine, electronics, chemical industry and other industries in China.
It is noted that the existing asphalt-based spherical activated carbon has higher preparation cost due to the limitations of raw materials and preparation processes. The specific factors and drawbacks that lead to high costs are as follows:
(1) the raw material is high-softening-point coal pitch with a softening point of 240-280 ℃, and the current market price is more than 8 times of that of medium-temperature coal pitch;
(2) in order to reduce the balling temperature and generate original pores in the asphalt balls, 10-50% of refined naphthalene must be uniformly mixed in the high-softening-point coal asphalt;
(3) the method for removing naphthalene in the naphthalene-containing asphalt ball by adopting an organic solvent extraction method needs a large amount of organic solvent, and the used organic solvents (such as petroleum ether and the like) are industrial class A substances;
(4) when the porous asphalt balls are oxidized by adopting the fixed bed reactor and are not melted, the diffusion resistance of oxygen in the fixed bed reactor is too large, the reaction time is long, the energy consumption is high, and the productivity is low;
(5) the refined naphthalene and the organic solvent extractant are flammable and explosive, have strict requirements on plant structures and equipment layout, and further increase the fixed asset cost.
