Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of preparation of electrochemical energy storage electrode materials, and particularly to a preparation method and device for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube recycling. Background Art
[0002] Devices based on clean electrochemical energy storage mechanisms, such as various secondary batteries, supercapacitors, lithium-ion capacitors or their hybrid devices, are important electrical energy storage systems and have developed rapidly in recent years. The positive electrode materials of supercapacitors and lithium-ion capacitors are porous activated carbon with a large specific surface area. Secondary batteries such as lithium-ion negative electrode materials (silicon-carbon negative electrodes) also use porous activated carbon with a large specific surface area as a fixed carrier for silicon particles, accounting for about 50% of the weight of the silicon-carbon negative electrode.
[0003] Due to the requirements of electrode sheet coating and to avoid serious electron polarization and ion polarization problems, the thickness of electrode sheets composed of these electrode materials is generally in the range of dozens of micrometers to 150 micrometers. This requires that the particle size of these carbon electrode materials is often 5-6 micrometers, which can not only ensure rapid ion transport but also have a relatively large packing density and corresponding electrode sheet compaction density.
[0004] Particles with a size of 5-6 micrometers belong to the range of ultrafine powders and have the characteristics of a large external specific surface area, serious aggregation, poor fluidity, and difficulty in direct processing. Therefore, in industry, large-particle activated carbon is often prepared by activation first and then ground into particles with a size of 5-6 micrometers. First, when large-particle activated carbon is activated, internal diffusion is serious, the reaction time is long, and the energy consumption is high. Second, 20-30% of the specific surface area and pore volume are lost during grinding, and at the same time, a large number of fine particles with a diameter of less than 5 micrometers are generated, resulting in product quality loss and high product cost. These problems currently exist in electrode carbon in several industries and have not been well solved. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the above problems existing in the prior art, the present invention discloses a preparation method for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube recycling, including:
[0006] Filling an activated carbon precursor into an activation fluidized bed and filling carbon nanotubes into a heating fluidized bed; after heating the carbon nanotubes to a temperature of 880-1000 °C in the heating fluidized bed, introducing them into the activation fluidized bed and heating the activated carbon precursor to a temperature of 800-950 °C;

[0008] The carbon nanotubes circulate in the activation fluidized bed and the heating fluidized bed to keep the bed pressure drop and temperature in the activation fluidized bed 1 constant.
[0009] Optionally, the circulation time of the carbon nanotubes is 3 days. When the ultrafine porous activated carbon is discharged through the product outlet, the circulation of the carbon nanotubes is paused;
[0010] After the ultrafine porous activated carbon is discharged through the product outlet, a new batch of activated carbon precursors is added to the activation fluidized bed, and then the circulation of the carbon nanotubes is continued;
[0011] When the circulation time of the carbon nanotubes exceeds 3 days, they are exported and used as an efficient adsorbent for organic waste.
[0012] Optionally, the particle size of the activated carbon precursor is 1 - 10 microns; the bulk density of the activated carbon precursor is 0.3 - 0.8 g / mL;
[0013] The activated carbon precursor is a biomass or an artificial polymer; the biomass is one or more of coconut shell, apricot shell, plant starch, and lignin; the artificial polymer is one or more of phenolic resin, furan resin, and polyacrylonitrile pre-oxide.
[0014] Optionally, the carbon nanotubes are formed by curling 10 - 100 carbon layers; the bulk density of the carbon nanotubes is 0.05 - 0.1 g / mL; the outer diameter of the carbon nanotubes is 8 - 80 nm; the aspect ratio of the carbon nanotubes is greater than 200.
[0015] Optionally, in the activation fluidized bed, the volume ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the activated carbon precursor is 0.3 - 1.5.
[0016] Optionally, the heating method of the heating fluidized bed is heating by introducing high-temperature gas flow or electric heating.
[0017] Optionally, the activation medium is one or both of carbon dioxide and water vapor; the flow rate of the activation medium is 0.05 - 0.2 m / s.
[0018] Optionally, the particle size of the ultrafine porous activated carbon is 1 - 10 microns; the specific surface area of the ultrafine porous activated carbon is 1500 - 2500 m 2 / g; the pore volume of the ultrafine porous activated carbon is 0.5 - 2.5 mL / g.
[0019] To solve the above problems, the present invention also discloses a preparation device for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube circulation. The device includes an activation fluidized bed for reacting an activated carbon precursor under the action of carbon nanotubes and an activation medium to obtain ultrafine porous activated carbon.
[0020] A heating fluidized bed connected to the activation fluidized bed for heating the carbon nanotubes in the heating fluidized bed.
[0021] The carbon nanotubes circulate between the activation fluidized bed and the heating fluidized bed through a pipeline.
[0022] Optionally, a heat exchange tube or an electric heating rod is arranged in the heating fluidized bed to heat the carbon nanotubes in the heating fluidized bed. The heat exchange tube heats the carbon nanotubes in the heating fluidized bed through the high-temperature gas flow inside the tube.
[0023] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:
[0024] A preparation scheme for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube circulation provided by an embodiment of the present application includes arranging an activation fluidized bed and a heating fluidized bed connected by a pipeline, filling the activated carbon precursor in the activation fluidized bed, and then filling the carbon nanotubes in the heating fluidized bed, heating them and introducing them into the activation fluidized bed to heat the activated carbon precursor, and reacting under the action of an activation medium to obtain ultrafine porous activated carbon with a particle size of 1-10 microns. During the reaction process, the carbon nanotubes circulate between the activation fluidized bed and the heating fluidized bed to keep the bed pressure drop and temperature in the activation fluidized bed constant. The present invention prepares ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube circulation, and the nanoscale carbon nanotubes contact with the micron-scale activated carbon precursor to assist the smooth fluidization and efficient activation of the activated carbon precursor, simplify the structural design of the activation fluidized bed, and make the activated carbon precursor easy to process.
[0025] Moreover, as a solid, carbon nanotubes have the advantages of large heat capacity, uniform mixing, and fast heat transfer. Compared with the pure gas heating in the traditional rotary furnace activation of small particle precursors technology, it not only ensures the heat supply of the reaction system, but also shortens the preparation time by 15%, reduces the gas cost by 50-60%, and improves the product consistency by 30%. In addition, since the diameter of carbon nanotubes is smaller than that of ultrafine porous activated carbon, they have good fluidity and high stability. During the whole preparation process, the structure of carbon nanotubes will not be damaged. The specific surface area of the carbon nanotubes after being unloaded at the end of the service time is increased by 10-20% compared with that before use, and the surface functional group density is increased by 30%-70%. They can be used as efficient adsorbents for organic waste, avoiding resource waste.
[0026] Compared with conventional preparation methods (such as first preparing large-particle activated carbon products and then grinding and pulverizing them; or using a Slep furnace to prepare porous activated carbon with a large specific surface area and a particle size in the millimeter range), the ultrafine porous activated carbon directly prepared in the present invention is in the micron range, so there is no need for subsequent grinding and pulverizing, effectively avoiding the risk of impurities introduced by grinding. Moreover, the yield is increased by 30%, the number of preparation devices is reduced by 20%, the equipment investment cost is reduced by 25 - 30%, and the time cost is saved by 50 - 80%.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS
[0032] The following will clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present invention, not all of them. The description of at least one exemplary embodiment is actually only illustrative and in no way limits the present invention and its application or use.

And all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative efforts also belong to the protection scope of the present invention.
[0033] In the prior art, when preparing ultrafine porous activated carbon with a particle size of 5-6 μm by using a fluidized bed, since particles with a size of 5-6 μm belong to ultrafine powder and are not easy to directly process and prepare, a method of first activating to prepare large-particle-size activated carbon and then grinding it to 5-6 μm is generally adopted. However, when large-particle-size particles are activated, internal diffusion is serious, the reaction time is long, and the energy consumption is high. Moreover, grinding will cause the product to lose 20-30% of the specific surface area and pore volume, and at the same time generate a large number of fine particles with a diameter of less than 5 μm, resulting in product quality loss and high costs. The embodiments of the present invention provide a preparation method and device for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube circulation. The activated carbon precursor is filled in the activation fluidized bed 1, and then the carbon nanotubes are filled in the heating fluidized bed 2, heated and introduced into the activation fluidized bed 1 to heat the activated carbon precursor. The heated activated carbon precursor reacts under the action of the activation medium to obtain ultrafine porous activated carbon with a particle size of 1-10 μm. During the reaction process, the carbon nanotubes circulate in the activation fluidized bed 1 and the heating fluidized bed 2 to keep the bed pressure drop and temperature in the activation fluidized bed 1 constant. The specific implementation manner is as follows:
[0034] In a first aspect, the embodiments of the present invention provide a preparation method for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube circulation, Figure 1 which shows the flow chart of the preparation method for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube circulation provided by the embodiments of the present invention. As Figure 1 shown, it includes:
[0035] Filling the activated carbon precursor into the activation fluidized bed 1 and filling the carbon nanotubes into the heating fluidized bed 2; after heating the carbon nanotubes to a temperature of 880-1000 °C by the heating fluidized bed 2, introducing them into the activation fluidized bed 1 and heating the activated carbon precursor to a temperature of 800-950 °C;
[0036] In specific implementation, the activated fluidized bed 1 and the heating fluidized bed 2 are connected by pipelines to form a complete system. Activated carbon precursors with a particle size of 1 - 10 microns and a bulk density of 0.3 - 0.8 g / mL are filled into the activated fluidized bed 1 through the activated carbon precursor inlet 5. Carbon nanotubes with an outer diameter of 8 - 80 nm, an aspect ratio greater than 200, and a bulk density of 0.05 - 0.1 g / ml are filled into the heating fluidized bed 2 through the carbon nanotube inlet 12. The fluidizing gas (such as nitrogen) is introduced into the heating fluidized bed 2 through the fluidizing gas inlet 10 to make the carbon nanotubes in a fluidized state under the action of the gas flow. The carbon nanotubes are heated to a temperature of 880 - 1000 °C in the heating fluidized bed 2, and the heated carbon nanotubes are successively introduced into the activated fluidized bed 1 through the heat-carrying carbon nanotube outlet 9 and the heat-carrying carbon nanotube inlet 6 to indirectly heat the activated carbon precursors to a temperature of 800 - 950 °C. The activated carbon precursors are biomass or artificial polymers. The biomass is one or more of coconut shell, apricot shell, plant starch, and lignin. The artificial polymers are one or more of phenolic resin, furan resin, and polyacrylonitrile pre-oxide. The carbon nanotubes are formed by curling 10 - 100 carbon layers. The volume ratio of the carbon nanotubes to the activated carbon precursors is 0.3 - 1.5. The heating fluidized bed 2 heats the carbon nanotubes by introducing high-temperature gas flow or by electric heating.
[0037] Nitrogen and the activation medium are introduced from the bottom of the fluidized bed 1 to make the heated activated carbon precursors in a fluidized state under the action of the gas flow. After the activation medium etches and creates pores in the heated activated carbon precursors for 1 - 10 h, the obtained ultrafine porous activated carbon is discharged through the product outlet.
[0038] In specific implementation, nitrogen is introduced into the activated fluidized bed 1 through the activation gas inlet 3 to make the heated activated carbon precursors in a fluidized state under the action of the gas flow. The activation medium is introduced into the activated fluidized bed 1 through the activation gas inlet 3 to etch and create pores in the activated carbon precursors heated to a temperature of 800 - 950 °C for 1 - 10 h, and then the ultrafine porous activated carbon is obtained. The ultrafine porous activated carbon is discharged through the activated carbon product outlet 14 and cooled for standby. The activation tail gas is discharged from the activated fluidized bed 1 through the activation tail gas outlet 4. The activation medium is one or both of carbon dioxide and water vapor. The flow rate of the activation medium is 0.05 - 0.2 m / s. The particle size of the ultrafine porous activated carbon is 1 - 10 microns. The specific surface area of the ultrafine porous activated carbon is 1500 - 2500 m 2 / g. The pore volume of the ultrafine porous activated carbon is 0.5 - 2.5 mL / g.
[0039] The carbon nanotubes circulate in the activated fluidized bed 1 and the heating fluidized bed 2 to keep the bed pressure drop and temperature in the activated fluidized bed 1 constant.
[0040] In specific implementation, since carbon nanotubes have a smaller packing density compared to the activated carbon precursor, during the entire preparation process, the carbon nanotubes continuously move upward in the activation fluidized bed 1, return to the heating fluidized bed 2 through the circulating carbon nanotube outlet 7, pipeline and circulating carbon nanotube inlet 8, are heated, and then return to the activation fluidized bed 1 to heat the activated carbon precursor. The carbon nanotubes in the entire preparation process circulate in the activation fluidized bed 1 and the heating fluidized bed 2 to keep the bed pressure drop and temperature in the activation fluidized bed 1 constant; when the obtained ultrafine porous activated carbon is discharged through the activated carbon product outlet 14, the supply of heated carbon nanotubes to the activation fluidized bed 1 is stopped to suspend the circulating flow of the carbon nanotubes; after the ultrafine porous activated carbon is discharged through the activated carbon product outlet 14, a new batch of activated carbon precursors is added to the activation fluidized bed 1, and then heated carbon nanotubes are continuously supplied to the activation fluidized bed 1 to resume the circulating flow of the carbon nanotubes, and the above preparation process is repeated; the circulating flow time of the carbon nanotubes in the entire reaction system is controlled to be 3 days to obtain carbon nanotube products, which are discharged through the carbon nanotube product outlet 15, collected. The specific surface area of the collected carbon nanotube products is increased by 10 - 20% compared to the carbon nanotubes before use, and the surface functional group density is increased by 30 - 70%, and they can be used as high-efficiency adsorbents for organic waste; a new batch of carbon nanotubes is added to the heating fluidized bed 2 to continue the circulating flow for the next cycle of 3 days;
[0041] In a second aspect, the present invention provides a preparation device for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on the circulation of carbon nanotubes, Figure 2 which shows the structural diagram of the preparation device for ultrafine porous activated carbon based on the circulation of carbon nanotubes provided by the embodiment of the present invention, as Figure 2 shown. The device includes an activation fluidized bed 1, which is used to react the activated carbon precursor under the action of carbon nanotubes and an activation medium to obtain ultrafine porous activated carbon; a heating fluidized bed 2 connected to the activation fluidized bed 1, which is used to heat the carbon nanotubes in the heating fluidized bed 2; the carbon nanotubes circulate between the activation fluidized bed 1 and the heating fluidized bed 2 through a pipeline; a heat exchange tube or an electric heating rod 13 is arranged in the heating fluidized bed 2 to realize heating of the carbon nanotubes in the heating fluidized bed 2; the heat exchange tube 13 heats the carbon nanotubes in the heating fluidized bed 2 through the high-temperature gas flow inside the tube.
[0042] A preparation scheme of ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube circulation provided by this application. The activated carbon precursor is filled in the activation fluidized bed 1, and then the carbon nanotubes are filled in the heating fluidized bed 2. After heating, the carbon nanotubes are introduced into the activation fluidized bed 1 to heat the activated carbon precursor. The activated carbon precursor reacts under the action of the activation medium to obtain ultrafine porous activated carbon with a particle size of 1-10 microns. During the reaction process, the carbon nanotubes circulate in the activation fluidized bed 1 and the heating fluidized bed 2 to keep the bed pressure drop and temperature in the activation fluidized bed 1 constant. This invention prepares ultrafine porous activated carbon based on carbon nanotube circulation, simplifies the structural design of the activation fluidized bed, makes the reaction raw materials easy to process, avoids the risks of impurity doping, specific surface area and pore volume loss caused by grinding and crushing of the activated carbon product, and reduces the time cost and economic cost of the preparation process. In addition, the carbon nanotubes have good heat transfer effect and high stability, can improve the reaction efficiency, and realize the continuous, large-scale and low-cost preparation of products; as a solid heating medium, the carbon nanotubes can improve the product consistency compared with the gas heating medium; the used carbon nanotubes can be used as an efficient adsorbent for organic waste, avoiding waste of resources.
