Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of activated carbon technology, specifically relating to a high-strength honeycomb activated carbon and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Honeycomb activated carbon is a new type of composite functional activated carbon with many parallel interconnected pores in its internal structure. It not only has the advantages of activated carbon such as high specific surface area, controllable pore structure and acid and alkali resistance, but also has a unique honeycomb structure with advantages such as high porosity, low pressure drop and strong resistance to dust clogging. It is widely used in gas purification, gas storage, catalysts or catalyst carriers and other fields.
[0003] Based on differences in the preparation process, honeycomb activated carbon can be divided into two types: coated honeycomb structures and monolithic honeycomb structures. Coated honeycomb structures consist of a honeycomb carrier and a carbon layer coated on the carrier. This type of structure has a lower carbon content per unit volume and stronger mechanical properties than monolithic honeycomb structures, but it suffers from severe coating peeling and has been gradually abandoned. In monolithic honeycomb structures, carbon or carbon precursors are added during the formation of the honeycomb structure, resulting in a high carbon content per unit volume. However, its mechanical properties are poor, and once the structure is damaged, the reactor must be rebuilt, which is expensive. Therefore, ensuring the overall mechanical strength of the honeycomb structure is crucial. A common method to improve mechanical strength is to use organic binders, such as polyvinyl alcohol, methylcellulose, carboxymethylcellulose, or hydroxymethylcellulose, to bond powdered activated carbon together. However, this method is not very effective. Researchers in this field have conducted extensive studies on this topic. For example, patent CN103708451B discloses a method for preparing honeycomb activated carbon bonded with asphalt. The asphalt used is aqueous emulsified asphalt, which is added in small quantities and is easy to mix. While the asphalt plays a binding role, it reduces the amount of organic binder used, thus ensuring the high specific surface area and high strength of the honeycomb activated carbon. This patent uses aqueous emulsified asphalt to replace part of the organic binder. Although this strongly bonds the powdered activated carbon together, the main component of asphalt is a high-molecular-weight hydrocarbon compound, which, when attached to the surface of the activated carbon, is not conducive to the adsorption of polar gases.
[0004] Patent CN101214957B discloses a water-resistant, high-mechanical-strength honeycomb activated carbon and its preparation method. This method involves mixing activated carbon, inorganic binder, and sintering flux. The premixed material is then kneaded with organic binder, water, and lubricating oil, extruded, dried, and heat-treated. The water-resistant honeycomb activated carbon produced by this method has high mechanical strength, good heat resistance, and good water resistance. However, in order to improve the strength, the amount of clay used accounts for about 70 wt% of the activated carbon, which greatly reduces the specific surface area and adsorption capacity of the finished honeycomb activated carbon.
[0005] In summary, there is an urgent need to develop a honeycomb activated carbon that combines high strength, large specific surface area, and good adsorption performance for polar gases. Summary of the Invention
[0006] To address the aforementioned technical problems, this invention provides a high-strength honeycomb activated carbon and its preparation method. A star-shaped waterborne epoxy resin is prepared using alkali lignin with a three-dimensional structure, alkyl sulfate, epoxy compounds, and epichlorohydrin as raw materials. Because the star-shaped waterborne epoxy resin contains polar groups such as ether bonds on its side chains, it endows this resin with excellent water dispersibility and adhesion to activated carbon. The honeycomb activated carbon prepared by bonding powdered activated carbon with this star-shaped waterborne epoxy resin has a large specific surface area and strong adsorption capacity after curing and drying, and also has high strength.
[0007] To achieve the above objectives, the following technical solution is adopted:
[0008] A high-strength honeycomb activated carbon comprises the following raw materials: powdered activated carbon, star-shaped waterborne epoxy resin, curing agent, water, and surfactant. The star-shaped waterborne epoxy resin is prepared by first etherifying alkali lignin with alkyl sulfate, then extending the chain of the etherified alkali lignin with an epoxy compound to form branches, and finally epoxidizing the ends of the branches with epichlorohydrin.
[0009] Further, the raw materials include the following parts by weight: 100 parts powdered activated carbon, 10-15 parts star-shaped waterborne epoxy resin, 0.5-0.8 parts curing agent, 50-80 parts water, and 1-3 parts surfactant. The amount of alkyl sulfate ester is 25-30 wt% of alkali lignin, the amount of epoxy compound is 20-30 wt% of alkali lignin, and the amount of epichlorohydrin is 30-40 wt% of alkali lignin.
[0010] Alkali lignin has a three-dimensional spatial structure. First, the etherification reaction with alkyl sulfate esters is used to adjust and reduce the hydroxyl groups on the lignin spherical core. Then, the chain extension reaction with epoxy compounds is used to form branches, which move the active hydroxyl groups away from the spherical core, while improving the polarity and hydrogen bonding ability of the branches. Finally, epichlorohydrin is used for epoxidation to obtain a star-shaped waterborne epoxy resin with strong adhesive properties and epoxy groups at the end.
[0011] The alkyl sulfate ester is selected from one or a combination of two of dimethyl sulfate and diethyl sulfate.
[0012] The epoxy compound is selected from one or a combination of two of propylene oxide and ethylene oxide.
[0013] The star-shaped aqueous epoxy resin is prepared by a method comprising the following steps:
[0014] 4) Dissolve alkali lignin in a solvent, add alkali, add alkyl sulfate dropwise, stir at room temperature after the addition is complete, raise the temperature and keep it constant for reaction, cool to room temperature after the reaction is complete, adjust the pH, extract, distill, disperse in water, filter, wash, and dry to obtain etherified alkali lignin.
[0015] 5) Under an inert atmosphere, the etherified alkali lignin, organic solvent and catalyst of step 1) are mixed evenly, heated and vacuumed, epoxy compound is added under controlled temperature and reacted, vacuum degassing and nitrogen bubbling are performed after the reaction is completed, water and acid are added and stirred after cooling, dehydration is performed after heating, filtration is performed, and chain-extended alkali lignin is obtained by vacuum distillation.
[0016] 6) Add the chain-extended alkali lignin, epichlorohydrin and catalyst from step 2) to the reactor and mix evenly. Heat the mixture to carry out the reaction. After the reaction is completed, add alkali and continue stirring. After the reaction is completed, cool the mixture, separate the oil layer, wash with water until the pH is neutral, and rotary evaporate to obtain star-shaped waterborne epoxy resin.

The alkali is not particularly limited, including but not limited to one or a combination of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. The amount of alkali used is 20-25 wt% of the alkali lignin. The temperature is raised to 60-90℃. The reaction time is 1-5 h. The pH is adjusted to 1-3. The extractant is selected from one or a combination of chloroform and dichloromethane. The distillation is to remove the solvent. The washing is to wash with water 1-3 times to remove water-soluble impurities.
[0018] Step 2) The catalyst is selected from one or more of sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide, and the amount of the catalyst is 10-15 wt% of the epoxide compound. The solvent is selected from one or more of chloroform or dichloromethane. The heating is raised to 80-100℃, the vacuum is drawn to a pressure ≤ -0.093 MPa, the temperature is controlled at 90-120℃, the reaction time is 1-3 h, the cooling is lowered to 80-90℃, and the stirring time is 0.5-2 h. The acid is hydrochloric acid or carbonic acid.
[0019] Step 3) The catalyst is selected from one or a combination of two of boron trifluoride-diethyl ether complex, tin tetrachloride, and tetramethylammonium bromide. The amount of catalyst used is 3-5 wt% of the weight of alkali lignin and epichlorohydrin. The temperature is raised to 50-65°C. The reaction time is 1-4 h. There are no particular limitations on the alkali, including but not limited to one or a combination of two of sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide. The amount of alkali used is 40-50 wt% of epichlorohydrin. The reaction time after adding the alkali is 5-8 h. The rotary evaporation is to remove epichlorohydrin and water.
[0020] The curing agent is a water-soluble polyetheramine, such as one or a combination of two selected from D-230 and D-400.
[0021] The specific surface area of the powdered activated carbon is 1500-2000 m². 2 / g, with an average particle size of 300-500 mesh, selected from one or a combination of two or more of coal-based activated carbon, wood-based activated carbon, and fruit shell activated carbon.
[0022] The surfactant is selected from one or a combination of two or more of sodium dodecyl sulfonate, sodium dodecylbenzene sulfonate, and sodium dodecyl sulfate.
