Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of industrial exhaust gas purification and treatment, and particularly relates to a method for preparing, applying and regenerating a modified porous carbon material mercury adsorbent. Background Technology

[0002] Mercury is a heavy metal pollutant that can damage the nervous system. With rapid economic and social development, the large-scale emission of mercury from industrial waste gases from power plants, steel mills, cement plants, waste incineration plants, and non-ferrous metal smelting plants seriously threatens human health. Mercury removal from industrial waste gases is a primary means of controlling pollution and meeting emission standards.

[0003] Mercury in industrial exhaust gases mainly exists in the form of gaseous mercury (Hg). 0 Combined mercury, mercury attached to particles, Hg 0 Mercury is a difficult and crucial factor in mercury removal due to its high saturated vapor pressure and insolubility. Among numerous mercury removal technologies, carbon adsorption is currently the most mature, but it suffers from problems such as large adsorbent consumption and high regeneration difficulty, hindering large-scale application and necessitating technological upgrades. Modification is an effective way to improve the mercury capture efficiency of adsorbents. Currently, modification of carbon-based adsorbents mainly focuses on sulfur, nitrogen, halogens, and transition metal oxides. Sulfur and halogen-modified adsorbents, inexpensive and readily available, and with high mercury removal efficiency, have received widespread attention. Unfortunately, during regeneration, some sulfur and halogens desorb from the adsorbent surface, leading not only to a decrease in mercury capture efficiency after regeneration but also increasing the difficulty of treating the regenerated exhaust gas. Therefore, developing a green, efficient, easily regenerated, and reusable mercury capture material to achieve green and efficient removal of mercury from industrial exhaust gas is essential.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is hereby proposed. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing, applying, and regenerating a modified porous carbon material mercury adsorbent, in order to solve the above-mentioned problems.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0007] This invention provides a method for preparing a modified porous carbon material mercury adsorbent, comprising the following steps:

[0008] S1: Add the initiator to solution A, which is rich in acidic oxygen-containing functional groups, and stir thoroughly to dissolve, thus obtaining solution B.

[0009] Optionally, the solute in solution A includes one or more of succinic acid, tartaric acid, citric acid, succinic anhydride, or glutaric acid.

[0010] Preferably, the mass fraction of the solute is 5-40 wt%.

[0011] More preferably, the mass fraction of the solute is 18-30 wt%.

[0012] Optionally, the initiator includes one or more of benzoyl peroxide, diterpenoid peroxide, or methyl ethyl ketone peroxide.

[0013] Preferably, the amount of the initiator added is 0.2-3.0 wt% of the monomer mass fraction.

[0014] More preferably, the amount of the initiator added is 0.6-1.5 wt% of the monomer mass fraction.

[0015] Preferably, the temperature of solution B is controlled to be no higher than 35°C; more preferably, the temperature of solution B is controlled to be no higher than 30°C.

[0016] S2: Mix the solution B with a monomer solution rich in acidic oxygen-containing functional groups to obtain an impregnation solution.

[0017] Furthermore, the solute in the monomer solution includes monomer one and / or monomer two.

[0018] Optionally, the monomer one includes one or more of methacrylic acid, hydroxyethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, methyl methacrylate, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, or hydroxypropyl methacrylate.

[0019] Optionally, the monomer 2 includes one or more of butenedioic acid, maleic anhydride, pentenedioic acid, itaconic anhydride, citraconic anhydride, or dimethylmaleic anhydride.

[0020] Preferably, the mass fraction of the solute in the monomer solution is 5-25 wt%, and the mass ratio of monomer one to monomer two is 1:0.5-2.5.

[0021] More preferably, the mass fraction of the solute in the monomer solution is 15-25 wt%, and the mass ratio of monomer one to monomer two is 1:1.5-2.5.

[0022] Furthermore, the volume ratio of solution B to the monomer solution rich in acidic oxygen-containing functional groups is 1-5:1.

[0023] Preferably, the volume ratio of solution B to the monomer solution rich in acidic oxygen-containing functional groups is 4:1.

[0024] Preferably, the temperature of the monomer solution and the impregnation liquid is controlled to be no higher than 35°C; more preferably, the temperature of the monomer solution and the impregnation liquid is controlled to be no higher than 30°C. Excessively high impregnation liquid temperature can cause premature polymerization of the monomer.

[0025] S3: Immerse the porous carbon material in the impregnation solution, then remove and drain.

[0026] Furthermore, the porous carbon material includes one or more of coal-based porous carbon materials, bio-based porous carbon materials, activated carbon fibers, or solid waste polymer porous carbon materials. The carbon material can be molded, granular, powdered, or other porous carbon materials with specific geometric shapes. Simultaneously, the carbon material can be fresh or processed waste porous carbon material.

[0027] Preferably, during the soaking process, the temperature of the soaking solution is controlled to be no higher than 35°C, and more preferably, the temperature of the soaking solution is controlled to be no higher than 30°C.

[0028] S4: Heat the porous carbon material obtained in step S3 to the first temperature and maintain it for 3-20 hours, then continue to heat it to the second temperature and maintain it for 1-6 hours to obtain the final product.

[0029] Further, the first temperature is 55-80℃. During this process, some monomers in the impregnation solution within the pores of the porous carbon material are activated and begin to polymerize, while other components in the impregnation solution rich in acidic oxygen-containing functional groups are bound within molecular cages formed through gradual polymerization. Some activated monomers bond to active sites on the surface of the porous carbon material, thereby anchoring the acidic oxygen-containing functional groups to the surface of the porous carbon material. After the above treatment, the acidic oxygen-containing functional groups can stably remain on the surface of the carbon material without detaching during subsequent use and thermal desorption regeneration operations.

[0030] Preferably, the first temperature is 60-70℃, and the holding time is 5-10h.

[0031] Furthermore, the second temperature is 100-150℃. During this process, a small amount of residual monomers accelerate the reaction, thereby achieving deep solidification of acidic oxygen-containing functional groups, while removing water and other impurities from the surface of the mercury adsorbent.

[0032] Preferably, the second temperature is 105-120℃, and the holding time is about 3 hours.

[0033] This invention also provides an application of the modified porous carbon material mercury adsorbent prepared by the above method, for use in removing Hg from industrial exhaust gases. 0 The removal of oxygen in the industrial exhaust gas is described under the following conditions: oxygen concentration of 2-21%, temperature of 50-165℃, and water content of 0-15%.

[0034] Furthermore, the best application conditions are: an oxygen concentration of 6-15% in industrial exhaust gas, a temperature of 90-125℃, and a water content of 2-10%.

[0035] The present invention also provides a method for regenerating the modified porous carbon material mercury adsorbent prepared by the above preparation method, wherein the modified porous carbon material mercury adsorbent after adsorption is heated to 210-260℃ in an inert atmosphere or an oxygen-deficient atmosphere and held for 0.5-3h, with a heating rate of 0.5-5℃ / min.

[0036] Optionally, the inert atmosphere is one or more of nitrogen, argon, water vapor, or carbon dioxide.

[0037] Preferably, the thermal desorption regeneration process is as follows: the temperature is raised to 220-230℃ under a nitrogen atmosphere and held for 1.5h, with a heating rate of 2℃ / min.

[0038] Preferably, the oxygen concentration in the oxygen-deficient atmosphere is no greater than 2.0%.

[0039] Thermal desorption regeneration temperature is a key factor affecting the reusability of mercury adsorbents. If the temperature is too low, it is difficult to achieve the regeneration effect, while if the temperature is too high, it will destroy the structure of acidic oxygen-containing functional groups, resulting in a rapid decrease in its reusability.

[0040] This invention utilizes the catalytic oxidation activity of acidic oxygen-containing functional groups to achieve the oxidation of Hg. 0 The mercury is oxidized and captured, and its relatively weak bonding forces enable thermal desorption and regeneration of the mercury adsorbent at lower temperatures. Therefore, the mercury adsorbent obtained in this invention is more suitable for mercury removal from industrial exhaust gases at lower temperatures, and appropriate oxygen and water concentrations are beneficial for mercury capture.

[0041] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0042] 1. The modified porous carbon material of this invention has a significantly improved mercury capture efficiency, with a mercury capture capacity increased by more than 25 times.

[0043] 2. The processing technology is mild and easy to control, requiring only room temperature and low temperature treatment. The reagents used are inexpensive and readily available, and the equipment requirements are low.

[0044] 3. The technical solution of the present invention has broad applicability and is applicable to porous carbon materials from various sources, such as coal-based porous carbon materials, bio-based porous carbon materials, solid waste polymer porous carbon materials, and treated waste porous carbon materials.

[0045] 4. The modified porous carbon material obtained by this invention has a low thermal desorption regeneration temperature, with a thermal regeneration temperature as low as 210℃, which greatly reduces the regeneration energy consumption and the heat resistance requirements of the equipment.

[0046] 5. During the thermal desorption and regeneration process of this invention, there is no release of harmful gases such as sulfur and halogens, which reduces the difficulty of reusing the modified mercury adsorbent. Attached Figure Description

[0133] Comparative Example 7

[0134] A method for preparing a mercury adsorbent: The difference from Example 1 is that in step (4), the treated porous carbon material is heated to 65°C and kept for 8 hours, and then directly cooled and removed to obtain a modified porous carbon material mercury adsorbent.

[0135] The mercury capture performance of the obtained mercury adsorbent under simulated industrial exhaust gas conditions is shown in Table 1.

[0136] Comparative Example 8

[0137] The mercury adsorbent of Comparative Example 7 was thermally regenerated under the following conditions after mercury capture performance evaluation: the temperature was raised to 210℃ and held for 3 hours under a nitrogen atmosphere at a heating rate of 5℃ / min. The regenerated mercury adsorbent was then obtained. The mercury capture performance of the regenerated mercury adsorbent under simulated industrial exhaust gas conditions is shown in Table 1.

[0138] The results of Examples 1, 6, and Comparative Example 6 all show that the mercury capture performance of the modified mercury adsorbent is improved by more than 25 times, the thermal desorption regeneration temperature is significantly reduced to 210℃, and the mercury capture performance of the regenerated mercury adsorbent is basically the same as that before regeneration.

[0139] The results of Example 1, Comparative Example 1, and Comparative Example 4 all show that, in the absence of bonding anchoring with acidic oxygen-containing functional groups, the initial mercury capture performance of the mercury adsorbent is comparable, but the performance decreases significantly after regeneration.

[0140] The results of Examples 1, 2, and 5 all indicate that the mercury capture performance of the mercury adsorbent is low due to the lack of pre-embedded acidic oxygen-containing functional groups, but the performance of the mercury adsorbent after regeneration is basically the same as that before regeneration.

[0141] The results of Example 6 and Comparative Example 3 show that excessively high regeneration temperatures destroy the acidic oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of the mercury adsorbent, resulting in a significant decrease in the reusability of the mercury adsorbent after regeneration.

[0142] The results of Examples 1, 7, and 8 all indicate that the acidic oxygen-containing functional groups of the mercury adsorbent that has not undergone secondary heating treatment have not been deeply solidified, resulting in a significant decrease in both initial mercury capture performance and post-regeneration performance.
