Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of petrochemical industry, and relates to a catalytic material and a preparation method thereof, and in particular to an aluminum oxide suitable for being used as a catalyst carrier and a preparation method thereof. Background Art

[0002] Alumina, a porous, highly dispersed solid material, boasts excellent mechanical strength, high thermal and chemical stability, a suitable isoelectric point, and adjustable surface acidity and alkalinity, making it the most widely used catalyst support in the chemical and petroleum industries. Alumina supports are typically produced by dehydrating pseudoboehmite at high temperatures. Pseudoboehmite, also known as monohydrated alumina or pseudoboehmite, possesses incomplete crystalline water molecules and a spatial network structure, appearing as a white colloid (wet product) or powder (dry product). It exhibits high crystalline purity, excellent peptization properties, strong adhesion, a high specific surface area, and a large pore volume. Activated alumina, particularly γ-Al2O3, possesses excellent specific surface area and pore structure. Due to its large specific surface area, adjustable pore structure, and excellent thermal stability, it is widely used as a catalyst support, desiccant, and adsorbent in the petrochemical and fertilizer industries.

[0003] Industrial production methods for pseudo-boehmite mainly include organic alcohol aluminum method and inorganic neutralization method, depending on the raw materials. Among them, the inorganic neutralization method generally has three preparation methods in industry: aluminum chloride method, aluminum sulfate method and carbonization method. (1) Neutralization reaction of aluminum salt and alkali, such as aluminum chloride method: AlCl3+3NH4OH→Al(OH)3+3NH4Cl; (2) Double decomposition reaction of aluminum salt and aluminate, such as aluminum sulfate method: Al2(SO4)3+6NaAlO2+12H2O→8Al(OH)3+3Na2SO4. (3) Neutralization reaction of aluminate and acid, such as carbonization method: 2NaAlO2+CO2+3H2O→2Al(OH)3+Na2CO3. All three methods use neutralization method to generate aluminum hydroxide, and then remove impurity sodium in the water washing process. The washing water consumption is large, and a large amount of wastewater is generated. How to reduce the amount of washing water while ensuring the properties of alumina is the key point of concern for manufacturers.

[0004] CN201610674763.3 discloses a low-impurity pseudo-boehmite, a preparation method, and a preparation apparatus. The low-impurity pseudo-boehmite contains metal ion impurities ≤0.1% by weight. The method comprises preparing a raw pseudo-boehmite into a slurry; acidifying the slurry to obtain an acidified raw pseudo-boehmite; aging the raw pseudo-boehmite at a set temperature for a set time to obtain an aged raw pseudo-boehmite; passing the aged raw pseudo-boehmite through a cation exchange resin at a set flow rate to remove metal ion impurities from the aged raw pseudo-boehmite; and drying the raw pseudo-boehmite from which the metal ion impurities have been removed to obtain a low-impurity pseudo-boehmite, wherein the metal ion impurity content is ≤0.1% by weight. The apparatus comprises a first container, a second container, a third container, and a drying device. The method and apparatus can reduce the metal ion impurity content of the produced low-impurity pseudo-boehmite to ≤0.1% by weight.

[0005] CN201110103785.1 discloses a method for producing ultrafine aluminum hydroxide and aluminum oxide from fly ash. The method comprises: a) crushing the fly ash, performing wet magnetic separation to remove iron, and then reacting it with hydrochloric acid to produce a hydrochloric acid extract; b) passing the hydrochloric acid extract through a macroporous cationic resin column for adsorption. After the resin is saturated with adsorption, eluting it with an eluent to produce an eluent containing aluminum chloride and ferric chloride; c) subjecting the eluent to alkaline dissolution to remove iron, producing a sodium aluminate solution; d) adding a dispersant to the sodium aluminate solution and mixing it uniformly to produce a dispersion; e) reacting the dispersion with carbon dioxide for neutralization, washing it with water and ethanol, and drying it to produce ultrafine aluminum hydroxide. This process uses the cationic resin to primarily adsorb aluminum and iron ions, utilizing only the adsorption properties of the cationic resin. Summary of the Invention

[0034] In the examples and comparative examples of the present invention, water hardness refers to the property of reacting with water and gradually solidifying and hardening in a humid medium. The water hardness of aluminum oxide in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention is defined as the strength of the sample after aluminum oxide agglomerates and solidifies into particles after encountering atomized water droplets, and is dried at 200°C for 3 hours, in units of N / particle. The specific measurement process includes the following: (1) Weigh 100g of the prepared aluminum oxide sample, add 50g of water, and spray small water droplets in an atomizer with a nozzle of 100 microns. After the aluminum oxide absorbs the small water droplets, it gradually aggregates and further crystallizes to solidify and harden into small balls. Due to the different microscopic properties of aluminum oxide, the solidification and hardening time is different. The water hardness of aluminum oxide with a short solidification time is better than that with a long solidification time; (2) After the solidified aluminum oxide balls are dried at 200°C for 3 hours, the aluminum oxide balls with a size of 1.0 to 1.5 mm are selected, and the pressure of 20 samples is tested with an intelligent strength meter, in units of N, and the average strength is in units of N / particle.
