Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the technical field of treatment and utilization of various components of biomass gasification residue, and particularly relates to a method for preparing supported iron oxide activated carbon for the reuse of biomass gasification residue. Background Technology
[0002] As global climate change poses a significant threat to human society, an increasing number of countries are elevating "carbon neutrality" to a national strategy, proposing a vision of a carbon-free future. Pursuing a low-carbon path means striving to achieve carbon emission reduction targets at the lowest possible cost while maintaining the overall goals of economic and social development. A low-carbon economy and green growth will become major trends in future economic development. Therefore, the gasification and utilization of biomass and its byproducts is precisely based on this goal.
[0003] Biomass gasification is a renewable energy technology used to produce fuel gas, heat, electricity, or biomass fuel. my country possesses vast biomass resources, providing a solid foundation for the development of biomass gasification technology. During gasification, biomass materials undergo pyrolysis and chemical reactions under high temperature and pressure, producing gases (mainly syngas, including carbon monoxide and hydrogen), liquid fuels (bio-oil), and residues. These residues typically include ash, waste residue, or solid waste, known as biomass gasification residues. The large-scale accumulation of these biomass residues as industrial waste not only occupies significant amounts of land but also poses potential environmental hazards due to the heavy metals and other harmful substances they contain. Therefore, the resource utilization of biomass gasification residues is of significant practical importance.
[0004] Biomass residue is mainly composed of silicon dioxide and carbon, with a small amount of metals and ash. Numerous institutions and individuals both domestically and internationally have conducted extensive research and development on the comprehensive utilization of biomass residue, and have achieved some progress. For example, CN103332994A discloses a method and system for the comprehensive utilization of biomass ash residue, achieving comprehensive utilization through acid washing, alkali washing, and activation reactions, thus solving the problem of biomass ash residue disposal. However, this method cannot effectively utilize the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide emitted by thermal power plants, thereby reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and the activated carbon prepared by this method has a low adsorption rate. CN201110436706.9 discloses a simple method for simultaneously preparing water glass and activated carbon from rice husk pyrolysis ash. This method improves the activated carbon yield, is simple in process, and has low energy consumption, but the raw material is limited to rice husk, limiting its applicability. Publication No. CN201110382347.3 discloses a method for preparing non-fired building materials using straw ash, which involves reacting straw ash with cement, quicklime, and gypsum to produce the building materials. This method eliminates the pollution caused by straw ash to the environment around power plants and reduces the production cost of the building materials. However, its application is limited to the construction sector, and the collection and transportation distance restricts its market application. Publication No. CN102515156A discloses a new method for preparing silica and activated carbon using rice husk ash. The preparation process does not generate waste gas or waste residue, but the preparation cost is relatively high. Publication No. CN111774029A discloses the preparation of PM2.5 using biomass ash. 2.5 Methods for preparing adsorbents, their products, and applications; this method yields PM with resistance to high-temperature sintering and strong fuel adaptability. 2.5 While the paper describes an adsorbent, it does not address silicon, the main component of rice husk ash, thus failing to fully utilize biomass ash. Publication number CN115739203A discloses a method for preparing supported iron oxide activated carbon based on the reuse of gasification slag. This method solves the problem of high production costs for supported iron oxide activated carbon and promotes the recycling of solid waste resources. However, this method uses waste residue generated during coal gasification as raw material and does not address the utilization of biomass gasification residue. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing supported iron oxide activated carbon for the reuse of biomass gasification residue.
[0006] The technical solution adopted in this invention is: a method for preparing supported iron oxide activated carbon for the reuse of biomass gasification residue, the key technical points of which include the following steps: Step 1: Dry and grind the biomass gasification residue into fine powder to obtain 400-600 mesh biomass solid residue; add 2-5 mol / L alkaline solution to the biomass solid residue, stir and mix, and heat. After reaction, separate the solid and liquid to obtain waste liquid containing silicon, aluminum, sodium, calcium, and phosphorus, and residual carbon solid containing iron oxide; place the residual carbon solid in an oven, control the temperature at 100℃-110℃, and dry for 12-15 hours to obtain residual carbon solid material with a moisture content of no more than 5%; Step 2: Slowly pass carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas emitted from a thermal power plant, into the waste liquid containing silicon, aluminum, calcium, and sodium from Step 1 until the pH reaches 9-11. At this point, the system is in a sol state. Then, slowly add flocculant at a mass ratio of 1:40 to 1:100 to the waste liquid. Stir continuously until a large amount of white flocculent precipitate is suddenly produced. Filter and wash thoroughly until the filter cake is neutral to obtain a solid sample containing silicon precipitate and waste liquid containing aluminum, sodium, and phosphorus. The silicon-containing precipitate solid samples are used to produce sodium silicate and inorganic silicon chemical products; the waste liquid containing aluminum, sodium and phosphorus is used to produce potassium-based compound fertilizer. Step 3: The residual carbon solid containing iron oxide from Step 1 is fed into a tube furnace for high-temperature activation. During the activation process, nitrogen is used as an inert protective gas and water vapor is used as an activating agent. Water vapor is continuously introduced into the tube furnace at a flow rate of 0.2-0.66 L / min. The heating rate of the tube furnace is controlled at 15-22℃ / min, and the temperature is raised to 800-950℃. The activation time is 1-3 hours to obtain activated carbon. The activated carbon was then soaked in a 2-5 mol / L metal salt solution for 20-24 hours, removed, and dried at 80-120℃ for 10-15 hours to obtain metal activated carbon. Nitrogen was used as an inert protective gas to treat the loaded metal activated carbon at high temperature. After the nitrogen was filled, heating was started, and the heating temperature was controlled at 350-550℃ with a heating rate of 15-22℃ / min. The holding temperature was controlled at 400-500℃ for 3-5 hours. After the reaction was completed, the carbon was cooled to room temperature to obtain activated carbon loaded with metal oxide.
[0007] Furthermore, in step one, the biomass gasification slag grinding equipment adopts a vertical planetary ball mill with a rotation speed of 200-400 r / min, clockwise rotation for 10-20 min, counterclockwise rotation for 10-20 min, rotation reversal interval of 0-2 min, and a total ball milling time of 3-4 h.
[0008] Furthermore, the alkaline solution is selected from one or a combination of potassium hydroxide and sodium hydroxide solutions, and the reaction time is optimal to ensure sufficient reaction with the silicon, aluminum, calcium and sodium elements in the biomass ash.
[0009] Furthermore, the biomass gasification residue mentioned in step one is one or a mixture of two or more of the following: straw residue, wheat straw residue, forest wood residue, fruit shell residue, and vegetable waste pyrolysis residue.
[0010] Furthermore, in step two, the flocculant is one of the inorganic ammonium salts of ammonium sulfate, ammonium chloride, and ammonium phosphate.
[0011] Furthermore, the nitrogen protective gas is introduced throughout the entire process of heating, heat preservation, and cooling in the high-temperature treatment.
[0012] Furthermore, in step three, the metal salt solution is selected from either ferric chloride or ferric sulfate solution. The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows: The method for preparing iron oxide-loaded activated carbon for the reuse of biomass gasification residue uses biomass gasification residue as raw material. The biomass gasification residue is reacted with alkali to separate alkaline solution containing silicon, aluminum, calcium, phosphorus, etc., and solid carbon residue containing iron oxide. Carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas discharged from a thermal power plant, is passed into the alkaline solution to separate silicon-containing solid samples and waste liquid containing aluminum, phosphorus, etc. The silicon-containing solid is used to produce sodium silicate and inorganic silicon chemical products, and the aluminum, sodium, phosphorus, etc. waste liquid is used to produce potassium-based compound fertilizer for agricultural production. After high-temperature activation, the iron oxide-containing solid carbon residue is soaked in ferric chloride solution and treated at high temperature to obtain iron oxide-loaded activated carbon. It has the following characteristics: (1) The raw materials are widely available, and the extraction of various beneficial components from biomass gasification residue and the application of biomass gasification residue with high added value can be achieved with relatively low cost and simple methods. At the same time, the purpose of treating waste with waste can be achieved, and the emission of greenhouse gases from thermal power plants can be reduced; (2) Biomass gasification residue is utilized in a comprehensive manner, which not only avoids the environmental pollution caused by the stockpiling of biomass residue, but also realizes the resource utilization of biomass residue. At the same time, it reduces the production cost of metal-loaded activated carbon, produces high-performance activated carbon, and has good economic, social and environmental benefits, promoting the industrialization and sustainable development of biomass energy; (3) It makes full use of various components in the raw materials and fully utilizes the chemical reagents used to achieve zero pollution; (4) It realizes the recycling of water and achieves zero emissions.

Claims
1. A method for preparing supported iron oxide activated carbon for the reuse of biomass gasification residue, characterized in that, Includes the following steps: Step 1: Dry and grind the biomass gasification residue into fine powder to obtain 400-600 mesh biomass solid residue; add 2-5 mol / L alkaline solution to the biomass solid residue, stir and mix, and heat. After reaction, separate the solid and liquid to obtain waste liquid containing silicon, aluminum, sodium, calcium, and phosphorus, and residual carbon solid containing iron oxide; place the residual carbon solid in an oven, control the temperature at 100℃-110℃, and dry for 12-15 hours to obtain residual carbon solid material with a moisture content of no more than 5%; Step 2: Slowly pass carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas emitted from a thermal power plant, into the waste liquid containing silicon, aluminum, calcium, and sodium from Step 1 until the pH reaches 9-11. At this point, the system is in a sol state. Then, slowly add flocculant at a mass ratio of 1:40 to 1:100 to the waste liquid. Stir continuously until a large amount of white flocculent precipitate is suddenly produced. Filter and wash thoroughly until the filter cake is neutral to obtain a solid sample containing silicon precipitate and waste liquid containing aluminum, sodium, and phosphorus. The silicon-containing precipitate solid samples are used to produce sodium silicate and inorganic silicon chemical products; the waste liquid containing aluminum, sodium and phosphorus is used to produce potassium-based compound fertilizer. Step 3: The residual carbon solid containing iron oxide from Step 1 is fed into a tube furnace for high-temperature activation. During the activation process, nitrogen is used as an inert protective gas and water vapor is used as an activating agent.
