The invention relates to a preparation process for
large pore volume and light
bulk density activated alumina, and belongs to the technical field of
activated alumina preparation. According to the process, an aluminum
sulfate solution and a
sodium aluminate solution form a glue in a stainless steel
neutralization kettle through a continuous co-current flow method; then an aging treatment is performed for a certain time in a stainless steel aging washing tank; the resulting material is pressed to a plate and frame
filter press with a material pressing pump to carry out continuous washing to prepare primary pseudo-
boehmite particles with large grains; the removed
filter cake is acidified, and proper amounts of a pore expanding agent and a surfactant are added during the acidification process to carry out forming; the formed wet balls are placed in a
drying box to carry out
drying; and the dried small balls are loaded into a
calcination activation furnace to carry out high temperature
calcination and pore expanding. The process of the present invention has characteristics of low cost and low equipment
corrosion, can performs continuous washing cycle, and has advantages of low
wastewater discharging, less
pollution, and the like. With the process of the present invention, the
production cycle can be reduced, the labor intensity can be reduced, and various performance indicators of the prepared gamma-Al2O3 can meet the international advanced level after pore expanding by
water vapor.
