Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of adsorption material preparation and catalytic denitration, and particularly relates to a method for preparing a high-activity denitration catalyst by washing terminal coal slime. Background Art

[0002] Currently, my country's annual raw coal processing capacity is approximately 2.4 billion tons, generating approximately 200 million tons of coal slime. Coal slime, a semi-solid product formed from water-containing coal powder during the coal washing process, is difficult to dry due to its fine particle size, low calorific value, high viscosity, and high water retention. It easily reliquefies and flows everywhere, severely impacting the environment and ecology. Consequently, coal slime water has become a major source of pollution in the coal industry.

[0003] From a structural perspective, the coal slime at the end of washing has a high ash content, low calorific value, small particle size, and a high content of fine particles, with fine particles smaller than 200 mesh accounting for approximately 70% to 90%. In terms of composition, excluding the carbon component, the remaining composition is mainly clay minerals and polyionic components such as SiO2 (20-60%), Al2O3 (10-35%), and Fe2O3 (5-35%), which have high thermal stability. Furthermore, the large number of oxygen-containing hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl groups on the surface of the coal particles in the coal slime at the end of washing, as well as the strong electronegativity of the clay mineral surface, make the coal slime susceptible to electrostatic adsorption with metal cations, which is conducive to the loading and dispersion of metal / metal oxide active components, thus providing favorable conditions for its use as a catalyst carrier.

[0004] Flue gas SCR (SCR) is one of the current technologies for reducing nitrogen oxide emissions. However, due to the toxic effects of impurities such as dust in the flue gas, as well as the presence of certain concentrations of SO₂ in the flue gas, ammonium salts are more likely to deposit on the catalyst surface at low temperatures, reducing catalyst performance and causing catalyst deactivation. Consequently, poor catalytic activity and SO₂ tolerance are the main challenges facing current low-temperature SCR denitrification catalysts. Ce-based catalysts, due to their excellent oxygen carrier properties and SO₂ tolerance, have become a research hotspot for low-temperature denitrification catalysts. Oxygen vacancies on the CeO₂ surface can capture or release O atoms, facilitating the adsorption and oxidation of NO. Under certain conditions, NO in the reaction gas can be oxidized to NO₂. Since NO₂ is more readily reduced to N₂ by NH₃, this facilitates the NH₃-SCR reaction. To further enhance the catalytic activity and SO₂ tolerance of Ce-based catalysts, the introduction of metal or metal oxide promoters and supports with large surface areas are currently the primary approaches used by researchers.

[0005] The present application combines the characteristics that the coal slime is easy to have electrostatic adsorption with metal cations due to the large amount of oxygen-containing hydrophilic groups such as hydroxyl and carboxyl on the surface of the coal particles and the strong electronegativity of the clay mineral surface, and the excellent oxygen carrier characteristics and SO2 resistance of the Ce-based catalyst, increases the carrier effect of the coal slime as the catalyst carrier through surface modification, and further improves the catalyst denitration activity by adding Fe and other additives, while reducing the hydrophilicity of the coal slime, to prepare a composite denitration catalyst through simple heat treatment.
