Description

Activated carbon and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of carbon material preparation, and particularly relates to activated carbon and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
Among the traditional fossil energy sources, natural gas is expected to be the preferred energy source for replacing coal and petroleum due to the advantages of abundant reserves, high calorific value, no pollution and the like. Compared with the conventional liquid fuel, the main disadvantage of natural gas is that the volumetric energy density is lower, which is only 0.11% of that of gasoline, so how to realize high-capacity storage of natural gas and improve the volumetric energy density of natural gas become the key to limit the wide-range application of natural gas, especially for the large-scale popularization of the rapidly developed Natural Gas Vehicles (NGV) in recent years.
At present, natural gas storage technologies mainly comprise four types: compressed Natural Gas (CNG), liquefied Natural Gas (LNG), natural gas hydrates (NHG), and Adsorbed Natural Gas (ANG) storage technologies. Compared with other technologies, the CNG technology is mature and has been commercially applied to natural gas automobiles, the volume energy density is 9.2MJ/L and is about 29 percent of that of gasoline, but the CNG storage pressure is as high as 20MPa, the requirement on equipment materials is very high, and the cost is also high. The LNG technology is to store natural gas in a liquid form under the pressure of 112K and 0.1MPa, the energy density can reach 22.2MJ/L which is about 72 percent of that of gasoline, but the LNG technology has high cost and complex design of a storage tank, and has safety risks of leakage and the like. NGH technology, which stores natural gas and water as clathrate hydrates, is currently immature. The ANG technology is that a storage tank is filled with a porous adsorbent, and natural gas is adsorbed and stored at normal temperature and medium and low pressure (3-4 MPa) by utilizing the huge specific surface area and rich pore channel structure of the adsorbent. Because of the low operation pressure, the high energy storage density, the relatively low cost and the more convenient and safer use of the ANG technology, the ANG technology is expected to replace CNG and LNG technologies to realize large-scale application, and the most important thing is to prepare the adsorbent with high methane adsorption capacity.
Among a plurality of adsorbent materials, the activated carbon has strong adsorption capacity due to the characteristics of large specific surface area, rich pore channel structures and the like, and can be used as an adsorbent for adsorbing and storing methane. The activated carbon used as a methane adsorbent is required to have a large specific surface area, the activated carbon with an ultrahigh specific surface area is generally prepared by a KOH chemical activation method, the prepared activated carbon contains a plurality of micropores with the pore diameter less than 0.8nm, the pore diameter of the part of micropores is too small, methane is difficult to adsorb, and the part of micropores are wasted; meanwhile, the activated carbon suitable for adsorbing and storing methane also has a certain mesopore as a gas channel, so that the development and preparation of the activated carbon with high surface area and reasonable pore structure distribution have very important significance in improving the methane adsorption quantity.
CN1091073C discloses a method for preparing activated carbon for adsorbing and storing methane, and the prepared activated carbon has the surface area of 1916-2700 m 2 The adsorption amount of the formed activated carbon to methane at 3.5MPa was 170v/v.
