Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to a preparation method of porous alumina-supported transition metal and application of the porous alumina-supported transition metal in removing COS.
Background
Carbonyl sulfide (COS) widely exists in chemical raw material gas produced by taking coal, coke, residual oil, natural gas and the like as raw materials, and sulfide not only corrodes pipeline equipment, but also poisons sulfur to a catalyst on a downstream process flow to lose activity of the catalyst. The removal of carbonyl sulfide is of great significance.
The COS removal method can be mainly divided into a dry method and a wet method, wherein the wet method comprises an organic amine absorption method, a potassium hydroxide absorption method and the like, and the wet method has the advantages of large gas flow for treatment and low organic sulfur removal rate and poor gas selectivity; compared with the wet method, the dry method has the advantages of high desulfurization precision, simple operation and the like, and mainly comprises a hydrolysis conversion method, an oxidation conversion method and a hydrogenation conversion method. Most of the water vapor required by the hydrolysis conversion method in the hydrolysis process is already in the raw material gas, and no additional addition is needed; and the reaction does not need a hydrogen source; compared with the oxidation conversion method and the hydrogenation conversion method, the method has the advantages of energy consumption saving, low temperature, no raw material consumption, less side reaction and the like. Therefore, the hydrolytic conversion process is most widely used.
The most used hydrolysis catalyst at present is Al2O3As a carrier, other active components or auxiliary agents are loaded, the catalytic activity is improved, and the hydrolysis conversion rate of COS is improved. In Al2O3The active components loaded on the catalyst comprise alkali metal, alkaline earth metal and transition metal oxide. For example, chinese patent document CN106861665A discloses a method for preparing an alumina carbonyl sulfide catalyst, which comprises the following steps of (1) providing soluble aluminum salt, polystyrene microspheres, mesoporous template agent P123, potassium oxalate, oxalic acid, ethylene glycol, methanol, absolute ethanol, fatty alcohol-polyoxyethylene ether, and distilled water; (2) preparing a solution of an alumina precursor, a solution of a mesoporous template, a polystyrene microsphere macroporous template and a potassium oxalate coordination solution of an active component precursor; (3) mixing the solution of the alumina precursor and the solution of the mesoporous template to obtain a mixed solution; (4) immersing the polystyrene microsphere macroporous template into the mixed solution and filling the mixed solution into the polystyrene microsphere macroporous template to obtain a primary composite; (5) spraying the active component precursor potassium oxalate coordination solution into the primary composite and allowing the active component precursor potassium oxalate coordination solution to permeate into the primary composite to obtain a secondary composite; (6) and roasting the secondary complex by a two-stage temperature programming roasting method to obtain the alumina carbonyl sulfide hydrolysis catalyst with the step holes.
Although the alumina carbonyl sulfide catalyst prepared by the method has good desulfurization effect, the preparation method is not only complicated in preparation process, but also uses a large amount of organic solvent, and pollutes the environment.
