Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of volatile organic compound treatment technology, specifically relating to an efficient method for regenerating saturated waste carbon containing styrene from the fiberglass industry. Background Technology
[0002] Among numerous styrene removal technologies, adsorption is considered one of the most promising. Activated carbon, due to its simple preparation process, is widely used in environmental problems such as air purification, wastewater treatment, and soil remediation, especially in styrene treatment. Desorption is a crucial step in the recovery or post-treatment of styrene by adsorbents. Heating desorption is currently the most commonly used styrene desorption method. However, the narrow micropores of activated carbon can lead to difficulties and incomplete desorption of adsorbed styrene due to excessively strong adsorption forces and severely limited mass transfer. Furthermore, during the thermal desorption of styrene-saturated activated carbon, styrene undergoes cracking. During styrene cracking, a large amount of carbon is generated in the form of coke deposits. These coke deposits adhere to the surface of the activated carbon, clogging the pores and severely shortening its service life.
[0003] The presence of a catalyst can effectively promote the decomposition of styrene molecules, reduce carbon buildup, and is characterized by high efficiency, greenness, and no secondary pollution, making it an environmentally friendly technology. Therefore, catalytic cracking is the most promising method for solving the problem of styrene-saturated activated carbon regeneration. Summary of the Invention
[0004] This invention addresses the short lifespan of existing activated carbon adsorbents by providing a highly efficient regeneration method for styrene-containing saturated waste carbon in the fiberglass industry. A nickel-iron bimetallic catalyst is prepared using styrene-saturated waste carbon. Through the active sites of the metals, the cracking efficiency of styrene is improved. Simultaneously, the synergistic effect of the bimetallic nickel and iron effectively eliminates carbon deposits generated during styrene cracking and prevents pore blockage, significantly extending the lifespan of the activated carbon. This method has significant environmental and economic benefits.
[0005] The present invention adopts the following technical solution:

[0017] The application of the regenerated carbon-supported Ni-Fe bimetallic catalyst in styrene treatment involves placing the regenerated carbon-supported Ni-Fe bimetallic catalyst in a fixed-bed reactor to carry out the styrene adsorption reaction.
[0018] In the adsorption reaction, the mass of the regenerated carbon-supported Ni-Fe bimetallic catalyst is 0.1-0.15 g; the concentration of the styrene gas is 1000 ppm; and the flow rate of the styrene gas is 100 mL / min.
[0019] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:
[0020] 1. This invention employs an impregnation-pyrolysis method to load transition metals iron and nickel onto industrial waste carbon saturated with adsorbed styrene. The synthesized nickel-iron bimetallic alloy active sites promote the decomposition of styrene adsorbed in activated carbon.

[0032] This invention provides a method for regenerating styrene-saturated activated carbon using a nickel-iron bimetallic catalyst supported on industrial waste carbon. The invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.
[0033] Example 1
[0034] 10g of styrene-saturated industrial waste carbon was immersed in 10mL of a 2.5% Ni(NO3)2·6H2O solution for 1h, evaporated to dryness in an 80℃ water bath for 1h, and then dried in an oven at 105℃ for 24h to obtain a Ni-based catalyst. The obtained Ni-based catalyst was immersed in 10mL of a 2.5% Fe(NO3)3·9H2O solution for 1h, evaporated to dryness in an 80℃ water bath for 1h, and then dried in an oven at 105℃ for 24h. Finally, it was pyrolyzed in an N2 atmosphere at a flow rate of 500mL / min and a pyrolysis temperature of 900℃ for 5h to obtain the bimetallic catalyst 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900.
[0035] In the bimetallic catalyst 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 of this embodiment, the support is styrene-saturated industrial waste carbon, the loading of transition metal Ni is 2.5%, and the loading of transition metal Fe is 2.5%.
[0036] 0.1 g of bimetallic catalyst 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 was placed in a dynamic adsorption fixed-bed reactor, and styrene gas with a concentration of 1000 ppm was introduced at a flow rate of 100 mL / min to carry out the dynamic adsorption reaction of styrene. The concentration of styrene at the outlet was measured by gas chromatography to evaluate the amount of styrene adsorbed.
[0037] Comparative Example 1
[0038] 10g of styrene-saturated industrial waste carbon was immersed in 10mL of a 5% (w / w) Ni(NO3)2·6H2O solution for 1h, evaporated to dryness in an 80℃ water bath for 1h, and then sequentially dried in an oven at 105℃ for 24h. Finally, it was pyrolyzed for 6h in a N2 atmosphere at a flow rate of 500mL / min and a heating rate of 5℃ / min at a pyrolysis temperature of 900℃ to obtain the monometallic catalyst 5Ni-900.
[0039] In the single-metal catalyst 5Ni-900 of this comparative example, the support is styrene-saturated industrial waste carbon, and the loading of transition metal Ni is 5%.
[0040] 0.1 g of the single-metal catalyst 5Ni-900 was placed in a dynamic adsorption fixed-bed reactor, and styrene gas with a concentration of 1000 ppm was introduced at a flow rate of 100 mL / min to carry out the dynamic adsorption reaction of styrene. The concentration of styrene at the outlet was measured by gas chromatography to evaluate the amount of styrene adsorbed.
[0041] Comparative Example 2
[0042] 10g of styrene-saturated industrial waste carbon was immersed in 10mL of 5% Fe(NO3)3·9H2O solution for 1h, evaporated to dryness in a water bath at 80℃ for 1.5h, and then dried in an oven at 105℃ for 25h. Finally, it was pyrolyzed in a N2 atmosphere at a flow rate of 500mL / min and a heating rate of 3℃ / min at a pyrolysis temperature of 900℃ for 6h to obtain the monometallic catalyst 5Fe-900.
[0043] In the single-metal catalyst 5Fe-900 of this comparative example, the support is styrene-saturated industrial waste carbon, and the loading of transition metal Fe is 5%.
[0044] 0.1 g of the single-metal catalyst 5Fe-900 was placed in a dynamic adsorption fixed-bed reactor, and styrene gas with a concentration of 1000 ppm was introduced at a flow rate of 100 mL / min to carry out the dynamic adsorption reaction of styrene. The concentration of styrene at the outlet was measured by gas chromatography to evaluate the amount of styrene adsorbed.
[0045] Comparative Example 3
[0046] 10g of styrene-saturated industrial waste carbon was immersed in 10mL of deionized water for 1h, evaporated to dryness in an 80℃ water bath for 1h, and then dried sequentially in an oven at 105℃ for 24h. Finally, it was pyrolyzed in an N2 atmosphere at a flow rate of 500mL / min and a pyrolysis temperature of 900℃ for 6h to obtain unloaded metal RAC-900.
[0047] 0.1 g of unloaded metal RAC-900 was placed in a dynamic adsorption fixed-bed reactor, and styrene gas with a concentration of 1000 ppm was introduced at a flow rate of 100 mL / min to carry out the dynamic adsorption reaction of styrene. The concentration of styrene at the outlet was measured by gas chromatography to evaluate the amount of styrene adsorbed.
[0048] The N2- adsorption-desorption curves of 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1, 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1, 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2, and RAC-900 prepared in Comparative Example 3 are shown in the figure. Figure 1 As shown. The specific surface area of 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 is 824.3 m². 2 / g, the specific surface area of 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1 was 648.2m². 2 / g, the specific surface area of 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2 was 593.8m². 2 / g, the specific surface area of RAC-900 prepared in Comparative Example 3 was 572.4m². 2 / g. This indicates that the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 enables more thorough cracking of adsorbed styrene during the catalytic process and effectively prevents the formation of carbon deposits, which is attributed to the good synergistic effect between Ni and Fe.
[0049] The 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 formed a large number of microporous structures, mainly consisting of micropores with a diameter of 0.55-0.65 nm. This indicates that the 0.55-0.65 nm micropores play a major role in the adsorption of styrene.
[0050] The XRD patterns of 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1, 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1, 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2, and RAC-900 prepared in Comparative Example 3 are shown below. Figure 3 As shown. The diffraction peak intensities of iron and nickel in the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 are lower than those in the 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1 and the 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2, indicating that the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 has better metal dispersion. Metal carbides were observed in both the 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1 and the 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2, while no metal carbides were observed in the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1, indicating that the synergistic effect between the bimetals is beneficial to the elimination of carbon deposits generated by styrene cracking. The 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 contains a bimetallic alloy Fe. 0.64 Ni 0.36The presence of Fe-Ni alloys indicates that bimetallic alloys are the main active sites for styrene pyrolysis.
[0051] The Raman graphs of 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1, 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1, 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2, and RAC-900 prepared in Comparative Example 3 are shown below. Figure 4 As shown, the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 exhibits the highest degree of graphitization and the most stable structure.
[0052] SEM images of 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1, 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1, and 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2 are shown below. Figure 5 As shown, the pore structures of 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1 and 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2 were severely blocked due to carbon deposition, which was caused by the rapid deactivation of the metal active sites. The pore structure of 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 was more abundant, which can be attributed to the good synergistic catalytic effect between Ni and Fe. The synergistic catalysis between Ni and Fe prevents the catalyst from being blocked by carbon deposition during the catalytic cracking of styrene.
[0053] XPS plots of Fe elemental composition for 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 and 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1 are shown below. Figure 6 As shown in the figure. It can be seen from the figure that the Fe in the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1... 2+ and Fe 0 The higher content of Ni indicates that the presence of Ni promotes the reduction of Fe, and the reduced Fe has higher catalytic activity. 0 The presence of [something] is conducive to the formation of bimetallic alloys.
[0054] XPS plots of Ni elemental composition of 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 and 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2 are shown below. Figure 7 As shown in the figure. It can be seen from the figure that Ni in the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1... 0 The higher content of Fe indicates that the presence of Fe promotes the reduction of Ni, and the reduced Ni has higher catalytic activity. 0 The presence of [something] is conducive to the formation of bimetallic alloys.
[0055] XPS plots of O element in 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1, 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1, and 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2 are shown below. Figure 8As shown in the figure. It can be seen from the figure that the O in 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1... α The highest proportion indicates that the introduction of another component into the bimetallic catalyst leads to more surface-adsorbed oxygen. Furthermore, considering the catalyst activity during the catalytic cracking of styrene, higher O content... α The proportion is beneficial to improving the catalytic performance of the catalyst in the catalytic cracking of styrene;
[0056] The breakthrough curves of styrene adsorption by 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1, 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1, and 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2 are shown below. Figure 9 As shown. From Figure 9 As can be seen, the styrene outlet concentration of the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 was 0 in the first 70 minutes, indicating that styrene was completely adsorbed within that time. The styrene adsorption capacity of the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 was 407.5 mg / g, the styrene adsorption capacity of the 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1 was 275.84 mg / g, the styrene adsorption capacity of the 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2 was 255.74 mg / g, and the styrene adsorption capacity of the RAC-900 prepared in Comparative Example 3 was 252.69 mg / g. The styrene adsorption capacity of the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 was approximately 1.5 times that of the 5Fe-900 prepared in Comparative Example 1 and the 5Ni-900 prepared in Comparative Example 2, and 1.6 times that of the RAC-900 prepared in Comparative Example 3. The 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 enables the styrene adsorbed in activated carbon to be cracked, effectively regenerating the styrene-saturated activated carbon. At the same time, under the synergistic effect of bimetallic nickel and iron, it effectively eliminates the carbon deposits generated by styrene cracking and prevents pore blockage.
[0057] The 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 saturated with styrene prepared in Example 1 was pyrolyzed and regenerated. This adsorption-pyrolysis regeneration cycle was repeated three times. The breakthrough curve of styrene adsorption after the cyclic reaction of the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 is shown in the figure. Figure 10 As shown. From Figure 10As can be seen, after one cycle, the styrene adsorption capacity of the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 was 393.57 mg / g; after two cycles, the styrene adsorption capacity was 343.99 mg / g; and after three cycles, the styrene adsorption capacity was 317.80 mg / g. Even after three cycles, the styrene adsorption capacity of the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 still reached approximately 80% of that of the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1, indicating that the 2.5Fe-2.5Ni-900 prepared in Example 1 possesses high catalytic activity and cycling stability.
