Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of agricultural and forestry waste utilization and activated carbon preparation, and specifically relates to a method for preparing multi-level porous biomass activated carbon and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in this background section is intended only to enhance understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Activated carbon, as a porous material with excellent adsorption properties, is widely used in gas purification, carbon capture, food processing, and pharmaceutical purification. Currently, agricultural and forestry waste (such as walnut shells, peony seed meal, and peanut shells) is an ideal raw material for activated carbon preparation due to its wide availability, low price, and high carbon and nitrogen content. It provides a carbon source while allowing for in-situ nitrogen doping. However, using pure nitrogen-rich agricultural and forestry waste as the carbon source for activated carbon preparation is subject to seasonal limitations and has a low carbon yield. The large-scale accumulation of industrial by-products (such as steel slag and fly ash) not only occupies land resources but also causes environmental pollution. While using pure industrial by-products to prepare adsorbents offers a stable source, it results in low carbon content and high impurity levels, requiring the addition of combustion aids or purifying agents, increasing the cost of adsorbent preparation. Furthermore, current activated carbon preparation often uses single activating agents such as potassium hydroxide, phosphoric acid, and sodium amide. This not only results in low activation efficiency but also produces activated carbon with a uniform pore size, affecting the diffusion of adsorbents within the activated carbon and thus impacting adsorption efficiency.

[0004] Therefore, developing a method for preparing multi-level porous biomass activated carbon with high raw material utilization, good activation effect, low production cost, and environmental friendliness is of great practical significance. Summary of the Invention

[0005] To address the aforementioned problems, this invention provides a method for preparing multi-level porous biomass activated carbon. This invention proposes a method for preparing biomass activated carbon by compounding agricultural and forestry waste with industrial by-products in a specific ratio. The high carbon content of the agricultural and forestry waste compensates for the carbon deficiency of the industrial by-products, while the rigid structure of the industrial by-products improves the formability of the raw material. This simultaneous resource utilization of both wastes overcomes traditional limitations, solving both the seasonal supply constraints and low carbon recovery rates associated with using only pure agricultural and forestry waste as raw materials, and the increased production costs associated with using only pure industrial by-products to prepare activated carbon adsorbents. This invention designs a three-component composite activator of KOH-ammonium dihydrogen phosphate-silica, which can achieve a synergistic functional effect. During the activation process, KOH etches the surface of biochar to form micropores, providing microchannels for small molecule adsorption. Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate decomposes during carbonization to produce NH3 and H3PO4. NH3 expands the pores, and H3PO4 promotes the development of mesopores, providing channels for molecule diffusion within the activated carbon. SiO2 can inhibit excessive micropore collapse at high temperatures and adjust the micropore-to-mesopore ratio, resulting in activated carbon containing pores of different sizes, including micropores and mesopores. This achieves multi-level pore synergistic adsorption, solves the problem of single pore size in activated carbon, and improves the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present invention provides a method for preparing hierarchical porous biomass activated carbon, comprising:

[0008] Nitrogen-rich agricultural and forestry waste is mixed evenly with industrial by-products, crushed, soaked in an alkaline solution, washed, and dried to obtain pretreated raw materials.

[0009] A composite activator is obtained by uniformly mixing an alkaline activator, an acidic activator, and silica in a solvent.

[0010] The pretreated raw material is impregnated in a composite activator, mixed evenly, and reacted at a preset temperature to obtain the impregnated material.

[0011] The impregnated material is carbonized and activated to obtain crude activated carbon.

[0012] The crude activated carbon was acid-washed, washed, and dried under ultrasonic conditions to obtain multi-level porous biomass activated carbon.

[0013] In a second aspect, the present invention provides multi-level porous biomass activated carbon prepared by the above-described method.

[0014] A third aspect of the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned hierarchical porous biomass activated carbon in the adsorption and capture of carbon dioxide, wherein the adsorption temperature is 0-50°C.

[0015] Beneficial effects of the present invention

[0016] 1. The raw materials are environmentally friendly and economical. Agricultural and forestry waste and industrial by-products are used as raw materials. The high carbon content of agricultural and forestry waste makes up for the carbon deficiency of industrial by-products, and the rigid structure of industrial by-products improves the formability of raw materials, achieving "complementary advantages" and "resource utilization of both wastes" at the same time. This reduces production costs while realizing the resource utilization of waste and reducing environmental pollution.

[0017] 2. A three-component composite activator, KOH, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate, and silica, can achieve a synergistic functional effect. During activation, KOH etches the surface of biochar to form micropores, providing microchannels for small molecule adsorption. Ammonium dihydrogen phosphate decomposes during carbonization to produce NH3 and H3PO4. NH3 expands the pores, and H3PO4 promotes the development of mesopores, providing channels for molecule diffusion within the activated carbon. SiO2 can inhibit excessive micropore collapse at high temperatures and adjust the micropore-to-mesopore ratio, resulting in activated carbon with pores of varying sizes between micropores and mesopores. The three-component composite activator synergistically solves the pore size distribution problem, achieving multi-level pore synergistic adsorption and improving the adsorption efficiency of activated carbon.

[0018] 3. Traditional post-treatment methods often employ room temperature acid washing, which suffers from incomplete removal of residual activators. This invention improves the removal efficiency of residual potassium and phosphorus in activated carbon by combining temperature-controlled acid washing with ultrasonic vibration, promotes the dissolution of metallic impurities such as Ca and Fe in industrial byproducts, and reduces ash and other impurities in the activated carbon. Simultaneously, ultrasonic vibration in the ultrasonic oscillator can peel off irregular graphite layers within the biochar, creating new pores or opening blocked pores, thereby increasing the porosity of the biochar and improving its adsorption efficiency to a certain extent. Furthermore, the effective removal of residues (such as potassium, phosphorus, and ash) from the activated carbon expands its applications in the food and pharmaceutical fields.

[0019] 4. Using nitrogen-rich agricultural and forestry waste as raw material for activated carbon preparation, the nitrogen elements inherent in the agricultural and forestry waste and the NH3 produced by the decomposition of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate during the carbonization and activation process can be used as nitrogen sources to dope the activated carbon in situ. After carbonization and activation, nitrogen-doped biomass activated carbon can be obtained. This process simplifies the preparation steps of nitrogen-doped activated carbon, shortens the preparation process of nitrogen-doped activated carbon, and reduces the preparation cost of nitrogen-doped activated carbon.

[0023] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used in this invention have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0024] This invention provides a method for preparing multi-level porous biomass activated carbon, comprising:

[0025] Nitrogen-rich agricultural and forestry waste is mixed evenly with industrial by-products, crushed, soaked in an alkaline solution, washed, and dried to obtain pretreated raw materials.

[0026] A composite activator is obtained by uniformly mixing an alkaline activator, an acidic activator, and silica in a solvent.

[0027] The pretreated raw material is impregnated in a composite activator, mixed evenly, and reacted at a preset temperature to obtain the impregnated material.

[0028] The impregnated material is carbonized and activated to obtain crude activated carbon.

[0029] The crude activated carbon was acid-washed, washed, and dried under ultrasonic conditions to obtain multi-level porous biomass activated carbon.

[0030] This invention does not impose any specific limitations on the types of nitrogen-rich agricultural and forestry waste. Preferably, the nitrogen-rich agricultural and forestry waste is selected from at least one of peony seed meal, soybean meal, walnut shells, soybean straw, and peanut shells to better improve the performance of activated carbon.

[0031] The present invention does not impose any specific limitations on the types of industrial by-products. Preferably, the industrial by-products are selected from at least one of steel slag, fly ash, and tailings powder to better improve the performance of activated carbon.

[0032] This invention does not impose any particular limitation on the type of alkaline solution; preferably, the alkaline solution is a sodium hydroxide solution or a potassium hydroxide solution. By controlling the soaking and drying with the alkaline solution, impurities such as ash in the raw materials are removed, thereby improving the purity and carbon content of the raw materials.

[0033] The dosage of each component in the composite activator affects the activator's effectiveness. Therefore, this invention studies the dosage of each component in the composite activator. Preferably, the mass ratio of the alkaline activator, acidic activator, and silica is 4-6:2-3:1. Potassium hydroxide (a strong alkaline activator that can construct micropores), ammonium dihydrogen phosphate (an acidic activator that promotes mesopore development), and silica (which regulates pore size distribution) are combined to form a synergistic activation effect, enabling the activated carbon to simultaneously possess abundant micropores and mesopores, forming a multi-level pore synergistic adsorption and improving adsorption performance.

[0034] The type of alkaline activator affects its compounding effect with other components and the overall activation effect of the compound activator. Therefore, this invention studies the types of alkaline activators. Preferably, the alkaline activator is potassium hydroxide to obtain a better activation effect.

[0035] The type of acidic activator can affect its compounding effect with other components and the overall activation effect of the compound activator. Therefore, the present invention has studied the types of acidic activators. Preferably, the acidic activator is ammonium dihydrogen phosphate to obtain a better activation effect.

[0036] The mass concentration of the composite activator affects its activation effect. Therefore, the present invention has studied its mass concentration. Preferably, the mass concentration of the composite activator is 20-30% to obtain a better activation effect.

[0037] In order to ensure that the pretreated raw materials are fully impregnated in the composite activator, the present invention studies the solid-liquid ratio of the pretreated raw materials to the composite activator. Preferably, the solid-liquid ratio of the pretreated raw materials to the composite activator is 1:2-3 to obtain a better impregnation effect.

[0038] Temperature affects the activation effect of the composite activator. Therefore, the present invention has studied the range of preset temperature. Preferably, the preset temperature is 50-60℃ to improve the activation effect.

[0039] In order to ensure that the pretreated raw materials and the composite activator react fully, the present invention has studied the mixing process. Preferably, the mixture is stirred at a preset temperature for 1-2 hours and then allowed to stand and soak for 6-8 hours to obtain a better mixing effect.

[0040] Carbonization conditions affect the performance of activated carbon. Therefore, this invention has studied the carbonization conditions. Preferably, the carbonization conditions are: 300-400℃ under an inert atmosphere for 1-1.5h; the heating rate and holding time are controlled in stages, firstly carbonizing at low temperature to remove volatile components from the raw material to avoid excessive shrinkage of the raw material at high temperature; then activating at high temperature to promote the development of pore structure and ensure that the specific surface area and pore volume meet the standards.

[0041] The activation conditions affect the performance of activated carbon. Therefore, the present invention has studied the activation conditions. Preferably, the activation conditions are: 700-900℃, heat preservation for 2-3 hours, to obtain a better activation effect.

[0042] To avoid oxidation, the present invention performs carbonization or activation under an inert atmosphere. Preferably, the inert atmosphere is nitrogen or argon, and the gas flow rate is 100-150 mL / min, so as to better improve the performance of activated carbon.

[0043] To further remove impurities from activated carbon, the present invention employs acid washing as a post-treatment. Preferably, the acid washing uses hydrochloric acid solution to improve the acid washing effect.

[0044] The acid washing temperature and ultrasonic power affect the performance of activated carbon. Therefore, this invention studies the acid washing temperature and ultrasonic power. Preferably, the acid washing temperature is 40-50℃ and the ultrasonic frequency is 20-30KHz. By combining hydrochloric acid soaking, ultrasonic oscillation, and multiple washing, residual activator and ash are effectively removed, improving product purity and stability.

[0070] Comparative Example 1

[0073] Comparative Example 2

[0074] The difference from Example 1 is that in step (2), ammonium dihydrogen phosphate was not added, potassium hydroxide and silicon dioxide were in a mass ratio of 5:1, and the total amount of activator remained unchanged.

[0075] Test results: The product has a specific surface area of ​​1626 m² / g, a total pore volume of 0.69 cm³ / g, a micropore volume of 0.59 cm³ / g, and the pore size is mainly concentrated within 2 nm. The carbon dioxide adsorption capacity is 3.74 mmol / g at 0℃ and 2.36 mmol / g at 25℃.

[0079] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2, compared with binary composite activators, ternary composite activators composed of potassium hydroxide, ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and silicon dioxide can significantly increase the specific surface area, total pore volume and micropore volume of activated carbon, and also significantly improve the adsorption performance of carbon dioxide.

[0080] In addition, the combination of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate and silicon dioxide, based on potassium hydroxide, has a synergistic effect in improving the specific surface area, porosity, adsorption performance and hollow formation of activated carbon, thus better improving the performance of activated carbon.

[0081] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Example 3, ultrasonic treatment can further increase the specific surface area, total pore volume and micropore volume of activated carbon, and at the same time, the adsorption performance is also improved.
