Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of air pollution purification technology, and more specifically relates to a modified calcium carbide slag, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] With the increasingly evident trend of global warming, the greenhouse effect has garnered growing attention. Greenhouse gas emissions are a major cause of global warming, and human activities primarily emit greenhouse gases such as CO2 from the combustion of fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas). Reducing CO2 emissions has become a top priority in mitigating the environmental damage caused by the greenhouse effect.

[0003] While CO2 emission reduction technologies are rapidly evolving, few are readily applicable to actual production and operation; most remain in the development stage. Alkali metal-based dry CO2 removal technology, with its advantages of low raw material costs, low reaction energy consumption, high recycling efficiency, no equipment corrosion, no secondary pollution, and no need to modify existing power plant equipment, has become a current research hotspot.

[0004] Calcium carbide slag is a waste residue generated from the production of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) in chlor-alkali plants. In fact, calcium carbide slag has the following advantages: small particle size, low hardness resulting in low pretreatment costs, simple composition, and a Ca(OH)2 content of over 95%. Calcium carbide slag can not only serve as an excellent raw material for CO2 removal but can also be used to produce high-value-added CaCO3 products.

[0005] Currently, the dry decarbonization of calcium carbide slag mainly adopts calcium recycling technology. The basic principle of this technology is that in a mineralization furnace at a temperature of 650-700℃, CaO reacts with CO2 in the flue gas to achieve CO2 fixation. The generated CaCO3 enters a calcination furnace at a temperature >900℃ for thermal decomposition. The required heat is provided by fuel in the O2 / CO2 ratio. After condensation, the tail gas becomes an airflow with a CO2 content higher than 95%. The CaO generated by calcination continues to enter the mineralization furnace to absorb CO2. This reaction is repeated in cycles. Once CaO is deactivated, it is discharged, and the calcium-based absorbent is replenished simultaneously.

[0006] Although the use of calcium carbide slag as a low-cost adsorbent for high-temperature CO2 capture has been widely studied, excessively high calcination temperatures often lead to a significant decrease in CO2 capture performance after sintering, limiting its application in calcium recycling technology. Furthermore, this method suffers from high operating costs, complex processes, and large project investments.

[0007] Therefore, how to provide a modified carbide slag and apply it to dry flue gas decarbonization to achieve a CO2 removal technology with high economic benefits and low energy consumption is a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0017] Preferably, in step (2), the metal loading of the metal solution is 1~50wt%, and the solid-liquid ratio is 1:1~20.

[0018] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: optimizing the metal loading and solid-liquid ratio, and screening out the optimal metal loading and solid-liquid ratio for CO2 removal.

[0020] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: ultrasound improves the degree of metal dispersion and increases loading efficiency.

[0021] Preferably, in step (3), the pre-freezing temperature is -200~0℃ and the pre-freezing time is 0.5min~24h.

[0022] The beneficial effects of the above technical solution are: optimizing the pre-freezing temperature and time, adjusting the size of the generated ice crystals, and selecting the best pore structure and average pore size of the material.

[0050] A modified carbide slag was prepared by the above method.

[0051] The above-mentioned application of modified calcium carbide slag is that the modified calcium carbide slag is used in dry flue gas decarbonization.

[0052] The application process is as follows: 2g of modified calcium carbide slag is added to the flue gas decarbonization equipment, the temperature is set to 500℃, the flue gas flow rate is 100mL / min, and the CO2 concentration is 10%, and decarbonization is carried out.

[0053] Comparative Example 1

[0054] Unmodified carbide slag is denoted as CS and applied to dry flue gas decarbonization.

[0055] The application process is as follows: 2g of calcium carbide slag is added to the flue gas decarbonization equipment, the temperature is set to 500℃, the flue gas flow rate is 100mL / min, and the CO2 concentration is 10%, and decarbonization is carried out.

[0056] Comparative Example 2

[0057] A method for preparing modified carbide slag includes the following steps:

[0058] (1) Wash the carbide slag with distilled water, dry it, and grind it;

[0059] (2) Place the carbide slag treated in step (1) into a metal solution for ultrasonic impregnation to obtain carbide slag slurry;

[0060] (3) Place the carbide slag slurry treated in step (2) into a blower drying oven, grind and sieve to obtain modified carbide slag, denoted as KHCO3-CS.

[0061] In step (2), the metal solution is an alkaline solution; the alkaline solution is a KHCO3 solution.

[0062] In step (2), the metal loading of the metal solution is 20 wt%, and the solid-liquid ratio is 1:2.

[0063] In step (2), the immersion temperature is 25℃, the ultrasonic power is 800W, the ultrasonic frequency is 59KHz, and the immersion time is 0.5h.

[0064] In step (3), the drying temperature is 100℃ and the drying time is 12h.

[0065] A modified carbide slag was prepared by the above method.

[0066] The above-mentioned application of modified calcium carbide slag is that the modified calcium carbide slag is used in dry flue gas decarbonization.

[0067] The application process is as follows: 2g of modified calcium carbide slag is added to the flue gas decarbonization equipment, the temperature is set to 500℃, the flue gas flow rate is 100mL / min, and the CO2 concentration is 10%, and decarbonization is carried out.

[0068] In this invention, the cumulative CO2 adsorption capacity q per unit mass of adsorbent is calculated as follows:

[0069]

[0070] Where: C in - Imported CO2 concentration (%), C out - Outlet CO2 concentration (%), Q - Gas flow rate (mL / min), m - Mass of modified carbide slag (g), T - Reaction temperature (K), T0 - 273K.

[0071] Figure 1 (af) shows the microstructure of FD-KHCO3-CS in Example 1 and CS and KHCO3-CS in Comparative Examples 1 and 2. Figure 1 It can be seen that the microstructure of the carbide slag changed before and after modification. The unmodified carbide slag CS is in the form of blocky particles with a rough surface, layering, and tight arrangement; KHCO3-CS is in the form of flakes with a narrow slit structure and irregular shape, and is relatively compact overall; while FD-KHCO3-CS has a dense needle-like structure on its surface and is relatively loose.

[0072] From the high-magnification SEM images of KHCO3-CS and FD-KHCO3-CS ( Figure 1d and Figure 1 f) The material clearly exhibits layered and needle-like structures, and some of the constituent particles may have hollow structures. These special hollow layered structures are conducive to the capture and transport of CO2 molecules, and can expose more active sites, thereby improving the performance of the adsorbent.

[0073] Figure 2 Mapping analysis of FD-KHCO3-CS in Example 1 and CS and KHCO3-CS in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is presented. From... Figure 2 As shown in b, the K content increased significantly after KHCO3 modification, indicating that K was successfully loaded onto the surface of the carbide slag. Meanwhile, after freeze-drying... Figure 2 The distribution of elements in c is also relatively uniform and loose, which is more conducive to the removal of CO2.

[0074] Figure 3 The analysis of various elemental contents on the surface of FD-KHCO3-CS in Example 1 and CS and KHCO3-CS in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 is presented. Compared with CS, the increase in O content in the unfreeze-dried KHCO3-CS was relatively small, while the O content in the freeze-dried FD-KHCO3-CS increased significantly. This indicates that freeze-drying can effectively increase the surface oxygen content of carbide slag, thereby improving its CO2 removal capacity.

[0075] Figure 4 The CO2 removal rate and CO2 adsorption capacity of FD-KHCO3-CS in Example 1 and CS and KHCO3-CS in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are shown. Figure 4 In Comparative Example 1, the CO2 removal rate of CS remained at 30%, while the CO2 removal rate of KHCO3-CS prepared in Comparative Example 2 remained at 100% for 10 minutes, but the adsorption efficiency decreased significantly in subsequent reactions. In contrast, the CO2 removal rate of FD-KHCO3-CS prepared in Example 1 remained at 100% for 18 minutes, indicating that the FD-KHCO3-CS prepared by the freeze-drying method used in this invention can maintain a high adsorption efficiency for a longer period.

[0076] Figure 4 b shows the CO2 adsorption capacity of FD-KHCO3-CS in Example 1 and CS and KHCO3-CS in Comparative Examples 1 and 2. Figure 4The adsorption capacity of CS in Example b was only 0.1 mmol / g, while the adsorption capacity of KHCO3-CS prepared in Comparative Example 2 for CO2 was 2.51 mmol / g, which is 25 times higher than that of CS. Furthermore, the adsorption capacity of FD-KHCO3-CS prepared in Example 1 for CO2 was 4.93 mmol / g, which is 49 times higher than that of CS. This indicates that freeze-drying can significantly improve the CO2 adsorption capacity of carbide slag.
