Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of desulfurization catalyst technology, specifically to a calcium-based aerogel desulfurization catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology

[0002] To reduce SO2 emissions from industrial flue gas, researchers have developed a series of effective desulfurization catalysts and devices.

[0003] Based on whether water is added during the desulfurization process and the dry / wet state of the desulfurization products, desulfurization processes are divided into three main categories: wet, semi-dry, and fully dry. Wet desulfurization is a relatively mature process with a low calcium-to-sulfur ratio (1.1–1.2) and high desulfurization efficiency, but it suffers from large footprint, equipment susceptibility to corrosion, scaling, and clogging, and secondary pollution issues. Semi-dry desulfurization uses ordinary slaked lime (Ca(OH)2) as a desulfurizing agent. The calcium sulfate and calcium sulfite particles formed after reacting with SO2 are relatively large, easily clogging the pores of calcium hydroxide and hindering the absorption of sulfur dioxide from the flue gas, resulting in low desulfurization efficiency and low utilization efficiency of the desulfurizing agent. Dry desulfurization processes require less equipment investment and are simpler to operate. Currently, sodium bicarbonate is the main desulfurizing agent used in industrial production. Using ultrafine sodium bicarbonate powder as a desulfurizing agent, it decomposes under high-temperature flue gas to produce highly active sodium carbonate (Na2CO3), which reacts chemically with SO2 and other acidic media in the flue gas, being absorbed and purified to meet emission standards. However, baking soda is expensive and its desulfurization products are difficult to process.

[0004] High-specific-surface-area calcium hydroxide possesses well-developed pores, enabling rapid adsorption and absorption of HCl and SO2 in flue gas, achieving a utilization rate exceeding 85%. This addresses the issues of low efficiency and low utilization rate in sulfur dioxide removal associated with ordinary calcium hydroxide. CN115073023A discloses a method for preparing highly efficient desulfurization quicklime. By adding a pre-digester, the contact time between the digestion water and quicklime is increased. Adding hydrophilic organic surfactants and alkali metal compounds to the digestion water results in a quicklime product with small particle size, high specific surface area, and high reactivity, leading to higher desulfurization efficiency. CN210495909U obtains ultrafine powder particles by directly installing a superheated steam flow pulverizer at the desulfurization tower inlet, increasing the particle reaction surface area and enhancing the activity of the desulfurizing agent. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a calcium-based aerogel desulfurization catalyst and its preparation method. By adding oxide aerogel and ball milling and mixing, the particle size and packing density of the catalyst can be controlled, the specific surface area can be increased, the utilization rate of calcium hydroxide can be improved, and efficient desulfurization of industrial flue gas can be achieved.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention employs the following technical solutions:

[0007] A calcium-based aerogel desulfurization catalyst, by weight, comprises 70-90 parts of high specific surface area calcium hydroxide, 2-20 parts of oxide aerogel, 0.5-10 parts of gasification slag, and 0.5-10 parts of carbide slag.

[0008] Furthermore, by weight, it includes 80-90 parts of high specific surface area calcium hydroxide, 5-10 parts of oxide aerogel, 0.5-5 parts of gasification slag, and 0.5-5 parts of carbide slag.

[0009] Furthermore, the specific surface area of ​​the high specific surface area calcium hydroxide is 30-100 m². 3 / g.

[0010] Furthermore, the oxide aerogel is one or both of silica aerogel and zinc oxide aerogel.

[0011] A method for preparing a calcium-based aerogel desulfurization catalyst includes the following steps:

[0012] (1) Weigh the high specific surface area calcium hydroxide, oxide aerogel, gasification slag and carbide slag according to the weight parts and add them to the ball mill for grinding and dispersing for a period of time to obtain a uniformly dispersed mixture;

[0013] (2) The uniformly dispersed mixture obtained in step (1) is separated by cyclone separation to obtain a D90 greater than 200 mesh and a bulk density less than 0.5 g / cm³. 3 The dry powder, namely calcium-based aerogel desulfurization catalyst.

[0014] Furthermore, the grinding and dispersion time is 1-5 hours.

[0015] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages:

[0016] (1) The calcium-based aerogel desulfurization catalyst provided by the present invention uses calcium hydroxide with high specific surface area as active component. The high specific surface area and suitable pore size can improve the adsorption and reaction efficiency of SO2 in flue gas, thereby improving the desulfurization efficiency.

[0017] (2) The present invention uses oxide aerogel as an additive. Its porous structure and light weight and low density help to increase the specific surface area and effective pore volume of the desulfurizer, and play a positive role in promoting the adsorption and activation of SO2.

[0018] (3) In this invention, the mixture is ground and dispersed by a ball mill, and then separated by cyclone separation to obtain a desulfurizing agent mixture with uniform particle dispersion and low bulk density, which can increase the surface area of ​​the reaction particles and is beneficial to improving the desulfurization efficiency.

[0019] (4) The calcium-based aerogel desulfurization catalyst provided by the present invention has a simple preparation process, and the raw materials and equipment are economical and readily available. It can effectively reduce production costs and pollutant generation, and is energy-saving and environmentally friendly. Detailed Implementation
