Description

A kind of adsorbent for gas separation and preparation thereof
The present invention relates to a kind of adsorbent that gas separates and preparation method thereof that is used for, particularly relate to zeolite adsorbents of a kind of selective absorption nitrogen that is used for air separation and preparation method thereof.
Transformation absorption PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) is one of gas absorption separation means of using always, on air separation, is used to prepare oxygen rich gas and nitrogen-rich gas.The process of PSA is at for example USP4,234,322, USP4,477, be described in 267 patent documentations such as grade, be about to compressed air and demonstrate the fixed bed of sorbent layer of preferential adsorption by a kind of component in the main component to gas, obtain being rich in the gas stream of the component that does not adsorb (or less absorption) through pumping.It is miniaturization to use that PSA compares to its advantage of cryogenic separation, and equipment is simple, and maintenance is also quite easy; Separate with film and to compare and the high characteristics of separative efficiency are arranged.Critical component mainly is two for the PSA air-separating plant: the performance of adsorbent and the performance in the life-span of valve, particularly adsorbent have directly determined the separating effect and the energy consumption of package unit.So be necessary to update and develop the better adsorbent of performance.
The adsorbent that uses in the prior art on the adsorption activity constituent element mainly with A type zeolite such as CaA zeolite or with X zeolite such as LiX zeolite active component as adsorbent, the history that the former uses is longer, and technical comparatively speaking easy realization, also cheap on the cost.Two kinds of adsorbents that can also be by using simultaneously that different zeolites constitutes such as A type zeolite and X type zeolite are shared, and the subregion filling to be to reach better effect, and as USP5,885,331 is described.But " Ind.Eng.Chem.Res.2000,39,1775-1780 " literary composition of publishing thinks that the LiX zeolite is present best air separation adsorbent activity constituent element recently.Thereby the corrective measure on the adsorbents adsorb active component mainly is to adopt the silica alumina ratio that reduces zeolite to improve the air separation effect of adsorbent with the nitrogen adsorption amount that increases zeolite, as USP5,366,720, GB1580928, USP4,606,899 have reported by introducing potassium ion when the synthetic zeolite or adopting sodium aluminate that zeolite is carried out post processing and reduce the silica alumina ratio of X zeolite to increase the adsorption capacity of adsorbent.
Generally speaking present improvement mainly concentrates on the zeolite aspect of adsorbent, and notes less to the nonzeolite component in the adsorbent.General these adsorbents all are to hold concurrently binding agent to reduce cost and might adopt waterglass to handle to increase granule strength, as the forming process described in the CN1248488A with clay as carrier.
USP4,950,312 and USP5,098,448 is not to adopt natural clay as the carrier binding agent of holding concurrently, but with Ludox and waterglass in conjunction with the A zeolite is carried out granulating and forming, promptly first molecular sieve and Ludox are made smaller particles, should obtain larger particles and curing fast by adding molecular sieve powder while spray water glass than granule then, its inventive point is mainly in the molding particles process.CN1248487A has introduced secondary perforated molecular siever adsorbent and preparation method thereof, and its secondary forming hole method of introducing is to adopt alkali lye to handle adsorbent to reduce the obstruction of amorphous article confrontation microporous molecular sieve.Can learn that from these disclosed prior aries its approach that improves the adsorbents adsorb separating property mainly is by improving the performance of zeolite, absorption mainly occurs in the micropore of zeolite<20 dusts, still there is not prior art to mention the adsorption separation performance that can improve adsorbent as second adsorption activity constituent element by the mesopore more than introducing 20 dusts on holding concurrently binding agent at the carrier of adsorbent, because it is generally acknowledged nonzeolite mesopore its to the adsorptive selectivity of non-polar gas selectivity height not as the micropore of zeolite, therefore in adsorbent, introduce the air separation coefficient that adsorbent can not be improved in the low slightly duct of this selectivity.But the inventor finds the mesopore of introducing nonzeolite in adsorbent and can improve non-polar gas such as nitrogen (the four pole span 0.31A with high four pole spans effectively 3) adsorption capacity, but to the non-polar gas such as oxygen (the four pole span 0.10A of low four pole spans 3) then adsorption capacity improve seldom, thereby improved the adsorbing separation effect of adsorbent.
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of gas that is used for and separate adsorbent of air separation particularly and preparation method thereof, with the further particularly adsorption separation performance of air of gas that improves.
Provided by the inventionly be used for adsorbent that gas separates and form by A type or X type molecular sieve and inorganic oxide, it is characterized in that in this adsorbent except the contained micropore of aperture of molecular sieve less than 20 dusts (being generally the 3-13 dust), said inorganic oxide has the aperture and is at least 0.3 milliliter/gram greater than the mesopore of 20 dusts and its pore volume, preferably at least 0.4 milliliter/gram (for example 0.4-1.2 milliliter/gram); Wherein said aperture is at least 15% greater than the ratio that the pore volume of the mesopore of 20 dusts accounts for the total pore volume of said adsorbent, is preferably 20-40%, more preferably 22-35%.
Said molecular sieve is a kind of or two kinds or above mixture, wherein preferably CaA or LiX or the combination of the two in them that is selected from the zeolites such as CaA, CaX, LiX, SrX in the adsorbent provided by the invention.
Said inorganic oxide can be selected from SiO in the adsorbent provided by the invention 2-Al 2O 3, Al 2O 3, SiO 2, the clay crossed of acid treatment or hydrothermal treatment consists etc., its condition is that this inorganic oxide has the aperture and is at least 0.3 milliliter/gram greater than mesopore and its pore volume of 20 dusts.
