Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of chemical industry, in particular to high-strength spherical alumina and a preparation method thereof.

At present, the molding methods of millimeter-grade alumina mainly include an extrusion molding method, a rolling ball molding method, an oil column molding method and an oil ammonia column molding method, wherein the oil column molding method and the oil ammonia column molding method are more commonly applied, and the prepared alumina pellets have more excellent physical properties. Compared with the oil column forming method, the oil ammonia column forming method has the advantages of simple process, short production period and relatively low requirement on equipment. The basic principle of the oil ammonia column forming method is that corresponding sol is dripped into an oil ammonia column configured according to requirements, sol particles firstly pass through an oil phase at an upper layer to complete a primary balling process, then enter a water phase at a lower layer, and a gelling process is started. After being solidified in the oil ammonia column for a certain time, the mixture is taken out from the bottom end and is washed, dried, calcined and the like to obtain the finished product of the alumina pellets. The small balls prepared by the oil ammonia column forming method have the characteristics of uniform integral size, good wear resistance and high strength, and are widely applied to the fields of catalyst carriers, adsorbents and the like.
Patent US4542113A discloses a method for preparing alumina pellets, which comprises adding alumina hydrate as raw material into nitric acid solution dissolved with urea, stirring, dripping into a forming device after stirring for a period of time, and controlling the size of liquid drop during dripping to 4-5 mm. In the cylindrical container, 8wt% concentration ammonia water is 70% and contains 0.1% wetting agent, the rest is diesel oil, and the temperature of the oil ammonia column is 20-25 deg.C. The alumina pellets are collected at the bottom of the oil ammonia column, the drying process is divided into two stages of pre-drying at 60 ℃ and drying at 120 ℃, and then the alumina pellets are calcined at 550 ℃ to obtain finished product alumina pellets, wherein the diameter of the pellets is between 2 and 3 mm. The process adopts normal-temperature oil ammonia column molding, the ammonia water ratio is far higher than that of an organic phase, part of produced finished pellets have cracks, the loss of the pellets can be caused in the calcining process, in addition, the existence of the cracks also reduces the strength of the material, and the synthesized alumina slurry has the phenomenon of too fast solidification, so that the residual sizing material can not be fully utilized.
USP4542113 discloses a method for preparing alumina pellets by using solid aluminum hydroxide powder as raw material, which comprises selecting two solid aluminum hydroxide powders with different crystal grain sizes according to requirements, adding water, stirring, and adding dilute nitric acid into the systemA solution and urea, wherein the urea functions to maintain the entire dispersion stable. And then dripping the slurry into an oil ammonia column, and obtaining the finished product of the alumina pellets through subsequent washing, drying and calcining. The alumina pellets prepared by the method have the crushing strength of 150N and the bulk density of 0.66g/cm 3 . The method also introduces that in order to further reduce the bulk density of the alumina pellets, a certain amount of kerosene can be added as a pore-expanding agent. Although the bulk density of the alumina pellets after the pore-expanding agent is added can meet the requirements of the continuous reforming catalyst, the production cost is increased, for example, the consumption of kerosene is large, additional processes are required to be supplemented to recover the kerosene subsequently, the production period is increased, and meanwhile, certain risks also exist during subsequent drying and calcining.
