Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of adsorption material preparation technology, specifically relating to an adsorption material, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, there are activated carbon canisters for vehicles that adsorb the vapors generated by the vehicle's fuel system, preventing fuel from being directly emitted into the atmosphere due to breathing. The fuel vapors can then be desorbed by purging air and introduced into the engine cylinders for combustion, thus controlling and regenerating the fuel vapors. When the vehicle is stationary, during the high-temperature period of the daytime temperature cycle, fuel vapors will escape from the canister, resulting in "daytime breathing loss" (DBL).
[0003] American researchers have disclosed a vehicle charcoal canister for controlling DBL (Damage Per Batch) loss. The canister material consists of main adsorption particles inside the canister and a honeycomb-shaped structure near the atmospheric vent outside. During fuel vapor adsorption, the main adsorption material, with its high working capacity, captures a large amount of volatile hydrocarbons, while the rear-end structure adsorbs residual small-molecule hydrocarbons. During desorption, purge air enters from the rear, regenerating the material inside the canister. Activated carbon undergoes thousands of adsorption / desorption cycles throughout a vehicle's lifespan. During each cycle, the purge air cannot desorb all fuel vapors adsorbed on the adsorbent. A small amount of residual fuel slowly increases, reducing the overall effective adsorption capacity and lifespan of the activated carbon. Currently, with increasingly stringent environmental regulations, activated carbon is required to have both high working capacity and low DBL values. This necessitates that the charcoal canister material maintain high adsorption performance, high desorption efficiency, low fuel residue, and high mechanical strength to ensure a long service life.
[0004] CN 111511681A discloses a method for preparing an activated carbon molded body for adsorbing evaporated fuel from automobiles. The method involves mixing powdered activated carbon, a lubricant, and an acid-soluble solid diluent. The resulting mixture is then kneaded with a thermoplastic or thermosetting resin binder, and the resulting compound is molded into a geometrically perforated body. After drying, the molded body is acid-washed to remove at least a portion of the solid diluent, forming micropores. Further drying yields the finished product. The product exhibits improved desorption performance through macroscopic geometrically perforated channels and micropores formed by acid dissolution. Furthermore, the resin binder contributes to a low wear rate. However, while the activated carbon molded body provided by this patent achieves enhanced desorption performance by forming micropores and ensuring strength through the incorporation of a high content of thermoplastic or thermosetting resin, the resin significantly reduces the material's adsorption capacity.
[0005] In CN 112154027A, the honeycomb molded body in the carbon canister improves the desorption performance of the material by adding metal oxide heat storage material to activated carbon and adding second fine pores (above 1μm) constructed by fusible core pulp fibers that can be removed during high-temperature heat treatment. However, the fusible core will affect the strength of the molded body.
[0006] In addition, US Patent 8759250B2 discloses that using chitosan and alginate as binders, supplemented by natural fibers, synthetic fibers and inorganic fibers, can only enhance the strength of activated carbon molded bodies.
[0007] In summary, the present invention provides an adsorption material for automotive charcoal canisters that, without affecting its adsorption performance, not only has a high desorption rate and low residue, but also high mechanical strength. Summary of the Invention
[0008] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the present invention aims to provide an adsorbent material, its preparation method, and its applications. The adsorbent material provided by this invention can achieve the goals of increasing desorption rate, reducing residue, and improving mechanical strength without affecting its adsorption performance.
[0009] To achieve this objective, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
[0010] In a first aspect, the present invention provides an adsorption material comprising activated carbon and additives;
[0011] The specific heat capacity and thermal conductivity of the added material are not lower than those of the activated carbon.
[0012] The additive materials include one-dimensional fiber materials and / or two-dimensional layered materials;
[0013] The mass ratio of activated carbon to additives is 100:(0.1 to 10), for example, it can be 100:0.1, 100:1, 100:2, 100:4, 100:6, 100:8 or 100:10, but is not limited to the listed values. Other unlisted values within the range are also applicable.
[0014] The adsorption material provided by this invention can form a thermally conductive path and a uniform heat storage / release network, surrounding the activated carbon. This can enhance the desorption performance of oil and gas, reduce the residue, and improve the mechanical properties of the material without affecting the adsorption performance of the activated carbon.
[0015] It is worth noting that the functions of the additives described in this invention include: (1) not affecting adsorption performance: one-dimensional fiber or / and two-dimensional layered materials do not occupy the space of activated carbon or block the pores of activated carbon, and have little impact on its adsorption capacity; in addition, it is easier to transfer and store the heat released by activated carbon during oil and gas adsorption, thus suppressing the temperature rise of activated carbon and maintaining adsorption performance; (2) improving desorption performance and reducing oil and gas residue: during oil and gas desorption, it can quickly release and supply heat to activated carbon, thus suppressing the temperature drop of activated carbon and helping activated carbon to desorb oil and gas; in addition, the heat storage / heat release network formed can make the temperature distribution of activated carbon more uniform, avoiding adsorbate residue caused by local temperature concentration; (3) improving mechanical properties: making it have better processability, support and wear resistance. In summary, the above three functions of the additives provided by this invention can enhance the desorption performance of oil and gas and reduce the residue without affecting the adsorption performance of activated carbon, while also improving the mechanical properties of the material, solving the problem that it is difficult to balance the adsorption performance, desorption performance and mechanical properties of automotive carbon canister materials.

The adjacent area on the atmospheric side outside the charcoal canister is then filled with an adsorbent material with the lowest BWC (perforated adsorbent material prepared using scheme B). The adsorbent material prepared by the method provided in this invention can meet the performance requirements of both the adsorbent material inside the vehicle charcoal canister and the adsorbent material in the adjacent area on the atmospheric side outside the charcoal canister.
[0043] As a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the activated carbon precursor in embodiment A is a carbon-based material that has not undergone activation treatment.

[0100] The performance evaluation results of the adsorption materials provided in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 are shown in Table 1.
[0101] Table 1
[0102]
[0103] As shown in Table 1, the results of Examples 1 and 2 indicate that the adsorption capacity and BWC decreased slightly after the addition of one-dimensional carbon fiber and two-dimensional expanded vermiculite, indicating that the effect on adsorption performance was limited; the desorption rate was significantly improved and the residue was significantly reduced, indicating that the desorption performance was significantly improved; the strength was improved, indicating that the mechanical properties were improved; in particular, as shown in Example 3, when carbon fiber and expanded vermiculite were added simultaneously, the desorption rate was further improved, the residue was further reduced, and the strength was further enhanced compared with the addition of the two alone. This is due to the multi-dimensional thermal conduction pathways and heat storage / release network composed of one-dimensional carbon fiber and two-dimensional sheet layered vermiculite.
