Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention develops the special-shaped adsorbent which has large external specific surface area and high gas mass transfer rate and is easy for industrial production.
The preparation method of the special-shaped adsorbent comprises the following steps:
(1) Fully kneading the mixed material with a certain amount of water;
(2) Adding the uniformly kneaded dough into a strip extruder for strip extrusion to obtain a strip-shaped adsorbent;
(3) The strip-shaped adsorbent and the inert pellets obtained in the step (2) are put into a rounding machine for rounding, and in the rounding process, the round-cake-shaped adsorbent (or erythrocyte-shaped adsorbent) with concave centers on two sides is formed due to the extrusion of the two sides of the inert pellets;
(4) And (3) screening the material obtained in the step (3), recycling the inert pellets, and carrying out subsequent treatment on the round cake-shaped special-shaped adsorbent.
The mixed material in the step (1) is prepared by uniformly mixing a molecular sieve, a binder and an auxiliary agent according to a certain proportion.
Specifically, the molecular sieve is a 4A molecular sieve. The binder is one or more of kaolin, bentonite, sheep's sweet soil and attapulgite. The auxiliary agent is one or more of sesbania powder, corn starch, tannin extract, citric acid and tartaric acid.
The extrusion operation described in step (2) is familiar to those skilled in the art.
The inert pellets in step (3) have a mohs hardness of 9 or more and a density similar to that of the adsorbent in the form of a bar. The diameter of the inert pellets is 1/2-1/4 of the diameter of the strip-shaped adsorbent in the step (2), and the number of the inert pellets is generally 2-3 times that of the strip-shaped adsorbent. The inert adsorption beads may be selected from one of zirconia beads and inert porcelain beads, preferably zirconia beads.
In order to enhance the shaping effect of the inert pellets on the strip-shaped adsorbent, the inert pellets are preferably subjected to a pre-wetting treatment prior to addition to step (3). The pre-wetting may be achieved by rapid impregnation of the inert pellets with water or sucrose solution.
Further, in step (3), an excipient is added to the spheronization system along with the inert pellets. The excipient is generally selected from at least one of microcrystalline cellulose and bone gelatin, preferably microcrystalline cellulose. The addition amount of the excipient is generally 1 to 5 percent of that of the inert pellets.
The subsequent treatment process described in the step (4) is generally as follows: drying the obtained special-shaped adsorbent at 50-150 ℃, and roasting at 600-750 ℃; after cooling, carrying out crystal transformation in NaOH solution with the concentration of 0.05 mol/L-3 mol/L; then the concentration of CaCl is 0.05mol/L to 3mol/L 2 Exchanging in solution, drying at 50-150deg.C, and calcining at 300-450deg.C to obtain the final product.
Compared with the prior art, the method has the beneficial effects that:
1. the method can prepare the erythrocyte type adsorbent material, and the shape adsorbent has the advantages of both the strip adsorbent and the spherical adsorbent, and has the characteristics of low abrasion rate and high mass transfer rate.
2. The excipient is added in the process of rounding the strip-shaped adsorbent material, so that the method is beneficial to the forming of the erythrocyte-shaped adsorbent in the process of rounding, and further improves the yield of the special-shaped adsorbent.
3. According to the invention, the inert pellets are immersed in water or pre-immersed in a sucrose solution before being added, so that the zirconia pellets are more easily attached to the surface of the adsorbent, and the yield of the special-shaped adsorbent can be improved.
4. The special-shaped particle adsorbent prepared by the method has high mass transfer efficiency and certain strength particles, and the preparation method is simple and is beneficial to large-scale production.
