Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of raw material purification, specifically to an adsorbent, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Industrial raw materials derived from natural gas, coal, and petroleum often contain impurities such as sulfur (S), asluene (As), and phosphorus (P). For example, CO produced from coal contains organic sulfur compounds such as carbonyl sulfide (COS) and carbon disulfide (CS2), as well as hydrogen sulfide (H2S). Propylene produced from petroleum contains impurities such as AsH3, PH3, COS, and H2S. The presence of these impurities can poison downstream catalysts. Impurities in CO can cause poisoning and deactivation of downstream polycarbonate catalysts, and impurities in propylene can cause poisoning and deactivation of polypropylene catalysts. Therefore, these raw materials need to be purified. Adsorption methods are widely used due to their simple operation and mild reaction conditions.
[0003] CN101602642A discloses an arsenic removal and purification agent for propylene and ethylene light hydrocarbon materials. This agent uses alumina as a carrier, copper oxide as the active component, and zinc oxide as an auxiliary agent. It contains 32-35% CuO and 33-40% ZnO by weight, with the balance being alumina. This purifier can be directly used in production processes involving the removal of arsenic from propylene and ethylene light hydrocarbon materials at high space velocities and high arsine concentrations. The purifier can be used at room temperature, normal pressure, and a space velocity of 1200-2100 hr. -1 This is equivalent to a liquid air velocity of 4.5-8.0 hr. -1 Under suitable conditions, it features high arsenic removal precision and large arsenic capacity. It can remove arsenic from raw materials from 1000 ppm to below 5 ppb at room temperature and pressure, with a saturated arsenic capacity exceeding 30% and an industrial effective capacity greater than 15%. It also possesses strong desulfurization capabilities.
[0004] CN108970611A discloses a natural gas organic sulfur hydrolysis catalyst and its preparation method. The catalyst uses alumina, titanium dioxide, and silica as supports, and sodium and cerium salts as active components. The prepared catalyst has a specific surface area greater than 300 m². 2 With a pore volume of 0.45 ml / g, it exhibits good activity and stability, and an organic sulfur hydrolysis rate ≥99%. However, this technology incorporates titanium dioxide as a carrier, resulting in higher production costs, and the reaction temperature is 60℃, which does not meet the requirements for low-temperature applications.
[0005] CN104907104B discloses a method for low-temperature removal of CS2 using a core-shell catalyst. This invention uses activated carbon nanoparticles as the core of the catalyst and wraps a layer of Fe2O3 around the core as the shell to prepare a catalyst that is inexpensive and readily available and has low-temperature catalytic activity for CS2. When this catalyst is used for the removal of CS2 gas, it has high low-temperature catalytic activity and can effectively degrade CS2 in industrial exhaust gas.
[0006] While the above technologies can remove AsH3, COS, and CS2, they cannot remove these impurities simultaneously. In industrial applications, multiple protective beds need to be connected in series to remove all impurities. Summary of the Invention
