Non-porous formed carbon material and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of non-metallic functional materials, and relates to a non-porous formed carbon material and a preparation method thereof.
Background
In some special fields, such as the field of fixed bed residue hydrogenation, the protective agent loaded on the upper layer of the series of catalysts for intercepting the physical impurities in the feed generally uses an inert ceramic filter material, which has a very low specific surface area and large through holes. However, the ceramic filter material has high density, heavy weight and inconvenient assembly and disassembly, and meanwhile, the used waste filter material has high treatment difficulty and difficult recycling, and can bring serious environmental pollution if being directly buried.
CN201720249177.4 provides a special residual oil hydrogenation protective agent which has large specific surface area and high stacking void ratio and can effectively improve the pollutant interception and filtration effect. The protective agent has large specific surface area, has chemical reaction activity after loading active metal, but can not completely replace the interception effect of filter materials on feed impurities, and the used carrier is a ceramic component, so that the waste agent is difficult to recover, utilize and treat, and the environmental protection problem is prominent.

The baking powder used in the invention reacts with water to generate carbon dioxide, the protein in the wheat flour has ductility and can form a three-dimensional network to seal the carbon dioxide in the plastic body, and the carbon dioxide flows in the plastic body in series to form three-dimensional through holes. The wheat flour particles absorb water and swell under the action of water, and form a three-dimensional staggered structure with protein. The three-dimensional structure is more stable and compact through two times of kneading. The starch and protein can be hardened by the fumigation hydrothermal treatment, so that the shape of the plastic body is fixed. The mixed glutinous rice flour generally has high proportion of starch with branched structure, is equivalent to a binder after pasting, can further enhance the strength of a formed body, and can be converted into carbon in the carbonization process.
The carbon material has the advantages of low specific surface area, large-size through pore passages, high crushing strength, low chemical bonding strength between the material and blocked impurities, convenient acid washing regeneration or direct incineration treatment, and environmental pollution caused by direct landfill can be avoided.

And (2) sealing and storing for 2 hours at 35 ℃, kneading the plastic body for 45 minutes again, extruding the plastic body into a cylindrical strip, performing hydrothermal steaming and fumigating for 1.5 hours at 120 ℃, cooling, taking out, drying for 12 hours at 120 ℃, putting the cylindrical strip into a tubular furnace filled with nitrogen for protection, heating to 250 ℃, keeping for 5 hours, heating to 850 ℃, keeping for 3 hours, and cooling to obtain the low specific surface molded carbon particles.
The diameter of the obtained cylindrical carbon particles is 1.5mm. The specific surface area is 10.7m 2 In terms of/g, the particles can therefore be considered to be of low specific surface material. The crushing strength is 18N/mm, and the particles are observed by a scanning electron microscope to have large-size through channels of 5-47 mu m.
Example 2
100 g of glutinous rice flour (with the amylopectin content of 80%) and 200 g of water are heated to 90 ℃ for gelatinization and kept for 50 minutes, 10 g of baking powder, 6 g of sesbania powder and 500 g of wheat flour (with the protein content of 10%) are uniformly mixed and kneaded into a plastic body. And (2) sealing and storing for 2 hours at 35 ℃, kneading the plastic body for 60 minutes again, extruding the plastic body into a cylindrical strip, performing hydrothermal steaming and fumigating for 1.5 hours at 150 ℃, cooling, taking out, drying for 12 hours at 120 ℃, putting the cylindrical strip into a tubular furnace filled with nitrogen for protection, heating to 300 ℃ for 5 hours, heating to 850 ℃ for 3 hours, and cooling to obtain the low-specific-surface-area molded carbon particle.
The diameter of the obtained cylindrical carbon particles is 2mm. Proportion tableThe area is 14.7m 2 (iv) g. The crushing strength is 19N/mm, and the particles are observed by a scanning electron microscope to have large-size through channels of 12-45 mu m.
Example 3
150 g of glutinous rice flour (with the amylopectin content of 80%) and 250 g of water are heated to 85 ℃ for gelatinization and kept for 30 minutes, 7 g of baking powder and 500 g of wheat flour (with the protein content of 10%) are uniformly mixed and kneaded into a plastic body. Sealing and storing for 1 hour at 35 ℃, kneading the plastic body for 30 minutes again, extruding the plastic body into cylindrical strips, carrying out hydrothermal steaming and smoking for 2 hours at 150 ℃, taking out after cooling, drying for 12 hours at 120 ℃, putting the cylindrical strips into a tubular furnace filled with nitrogen for protection, heating to 300 ℃ for 5 hours, heating to 900 ℃ for 3 hours, and cooling to obtain the low specific surface area molding carbon particles.
The diameter of the obtained cylindrical carbon particles is 2.5mm. The specific surface area is 9.6m 2 (iv) g, crushing strength of 14N/mm, and observation by a scanning electron microscope revealed that the particles had large-sized through channels of 21 to 49 μm.
Comparative example 1
The method is the same as that in example 1, except that the amylopectin content in glutinous rice flour is 50 wt%, and other conditions are kept unchanged. The specific surface area of the obtained cylindrical carbon particles is 12.5m 2 G, but the crush strength of the material was reduced to 9.2N/mm.
Comparative example 2
The same as in example 1, except that the treated wheat flour was selected and its protein content was 2%, the other conditions were kept constant. The specific surface area of the obtained carbon particles is 13.2m 2 The granules are considered to be low specific surface materials with a crushing strength of 11N/mm, but the hardening effect is not good due to the reduced protein content, and it is difficult to form relatively regular pillars in the final shaped granules.
Comparative example 3
The same as example 1 except that the steaming treatment was not performed. The final shaped particles are difficult to form into more regular cylinders.
Comparative example 4
The same procedure as in example 1 was repeated except that the composition was sealed and stored, and then was directly extruded. The final formed particles are loose, and the crushing strength is reduced to 7N/mm.
Comparative example 5
As in example 1, only one stage of calcination, i.e., direct heating to 850 ℃ for 3 hours, was used for calcination. The material has low carbon conversion rate, still contains polymerized organic matters, and finally has loose formed particles and the crushing strength reduced to 3N/mm.
