Description

The chestnut shell preparation method of active carbon
Technical field:
The present invention relates to the gac industrial process, particularly is the industrial process of feedstock production gac with the chestnut shell.
Background technology:
Gac is the black cellular solid, and unique pore texture makes it have very high specific surface area and surface functional group in the body, has good chemical stability, physical strength and performance such as acidproof, alkaline-resisting, heat-resisting.Organic or inorganic material in gas, the solution and colloidal solid all had very strong adsorptive power.Be widely used in solution decolorizing and refining, gas sweetening in the Chemical Manufacture, make catalyzer and support of the catalyst.Continuous expansion along with the gac purposes, demand increases day by day, the research of relevant gac is also deep further, around enhance product performance, increase range of application, the purpose that reduces production costs, aspects such as raw material type, preparation technology, product structure have been obtained a large amount of achievements both at home and abroad.The gac raw material is all carbon containing matters.Plant waste and agricultural shell slag all can be used for preparing gac, in industrial production, used as raw materials such as coconut husk, Pericarppium Armeniacae Amarum, nut-shell, corn cob, oil tea shell, camellia seed, oil palm shell, bagasse, tobacco rod, straw, Testa Viciae fabae, rice bar and cotton stalks, not only enrich the resource of drawing materials of gac greatly, also driven development of rural economy simultaneously.
Chestnut shell is a kind of agricultural byproducts waste material, piles up everywhere in the Chinese chestnut producing region, and except that minute quantity was used for peasant household's auxiliary fuel, main processing mode was to burn and abandon on the spot, has wasted resource at present, not only influences the also easy initiation fire of environment.Make raw material with chestnut shell, produce gac, make waste material obtain attached value utilization with absorption property, turn waste into wealth, turn bane into boon, resources advantage is changed into economic advantages, not only increased the gac raw material type but also alleviated the pressure of environmental purification, bigger economic worth and social effect had been arranged.
The chestnut shell gac is not seen the production instance report up to now.
In order to adapt to different purposes to the gac shape need, satisfy adsorption effect, at present, activated carbon variety has granular (spherical grain, rectangular grain, broken kernel), powdery and fibrous three kinds.The chestnut shell raw material is suitable for preparing spherical granulated carbon, broken granulated carbon and powdery carbon.
Summary of the invention:
The purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of is the feedstock production process of active carbon with the chestnut shell.
With the chestnut shell is that feedstock production process of active carbon step is as follows:
1st, chestnut shell is removed the dust foreign material, 105~140 ℃ of oven dry, be ground into granularity and be<0.053 fine powder, with concentration be that 0.15~0.45mol solder(ing)acid mixes, the add-on of liquor zinci chloridi is 45~75% of a chestnut shell fine powder quality, make the granular of diameter 4~5mm, perhaps directly make the peloid of specification with tablets press, drying removes moisture content;
2nd, step 1 drying removes the bulk goods behind the water, moves in the charring furnace, and charing is 200~240 minutes under 380~680 ℃ of temperature and oxygen barrier condition;
3rd, the bulk goods after step 2 charing changes activation furnace over to, 550~650 ℃ of temperature, activates 30~45 minutes in the superheated vapour air-flow of pressure 0.08~0.15MPa;
4th, with the HCl solution washing dezincify of 85~95 ℃ of pellet PH 2~2.5, temperature after step 3 activation, solid-liquid separates again, and it is clean to neutrality to add washing; the solid materials drying and dehydrating; last crushing and classification obtains broken kernel gac, powdered carbon, or the spherulitic gac.
Different varieties gac different fineness raw material, spherical granulated carbon, raw material granularity 90% is by 0.043~0.038mm; Broken granulated carbon and powdery carbon, raw material granularity 70% is by 0.053~0.043mm.
Chestnut shell be short texture, in the high carbon content material of flourishing capillary-size pore is arranged.The preparation gac, raw material need be crushed to certain fineness, and the size of granularity and charing intensity, activation effect and washing degree are the key problem in technology of chestnut shell gac.The pore texture of particle size influences finished particle inside, granulation mass density, physical strength and absorption property.Raw material granularity is thin more, and specific surface area is big more, and powder is easy to the activator dipping evenly, bonds easily between raw material powder and the activator, is easy to moulding; The particulate raw material also helps the formation of initial hole, and makes that particle surface after the moulding is more smooth, quality is finer and close, can guarantee that finished product has higher volume density and physical strength.Granularity is meticulous can to increase energy consumption, also makes troubles for production technique.The different varieties gac can be used the different fineness raw material.As spherical granulated carbon, raw material granularity requires 90% by 0.043~0.038mm; Broken granulated carbon and powdery carbon, raw material granularity 70% is by 0.053~0.043mm.
The chestnut shell carbonization temperature is low, the suitable first low temperature of carbonization process arrives the pyritous type of heating at a slow speed, Decomposition through differing temps, progressively remove water of constitution, gas and low-melting tar class volatile matter in the raw material, aliphatic side chains ruptures in succession, tar generated when the zinc chloride of interior hole path suppressed the raw material pyrolysis, thereby prevented to stop up its pyrogenous origin pore by tar, finally formed the netted solid carbon skeleton of high-specific surface area of special pore texture.
Activation is a gac perforate reaming process, is the important step that improves quality of activated carbon.The endoporus characteristics of enriching of chestnut shell, the activator zinc chloride is easy to immerse the interlayer deep along capillary channel, high temperature action during activation, the zinc chloride forced dehydration is added overfire air stream afterwards and is washed away outside the outlet orifice, promoted the perforate reaming effect of reactivation process, help improving the specific surface area and the reactive functionality feature of product, guarantee its good absorption property.
Washing process mainly reclaims zinc chloride, is the key that guarantees activated carbon product purity and reduce the zinc chloride process cost.Washing comprises salt acid treatment and two steps of washing, its objective is the removal of impurity, makes muriate contained in the gac, total iron cpd, ash content and pH value reach standard.Remove iron cpd with acid, add in the alkali and free acid, with hot water wash to there not being the chlorine root.The gac of cleaning is through dehydration, drying.
