Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of comprehensive utilization of hazardous waste resources, specifically involving a method for preparing geopolymer / zeolite composite materials from waste incineration fly ash and its application in adsorbing carbon dioxide. Background Technology
[0002] Municipal solid waste incineration fly ash belongs to the CaO-SiO2-Al2O3-Cl system and exhibits volcanic ash-like properties, making it a potential raw material for geopolymer preparation. However, current methods for preparing geopolymers from incineration fly ash mainly focus on heavy metal solidification and its use as building materials, resulting in low added value for the products.
[0003] Geopolymers have a three-dimensional porous structure, similar to zeolites (in terms of porosity and chemical properties), and can be used as adsorbent materials in related fields of carbon dioxide adsorption. However, although geopolymers have a similar structure to zeolites, their porosity is much lower, resulting in a significantly lower adsorption efficiency compared to zeolites.
[0004] Compared to adsorbents of other shapes, spherical geopolymers, as gas adsorbents, possess excellent mechanical strength and better wear resistance, allowing them to be packed into fixed beds for continuous processing. This not only solves the problems of difficult recovery and easy agglomeration but also reduces gas diffusion resistance, significantly improving processing efficiency and meeting the needs of a wider range of industrial applications. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing geopolymer / zeolite composite materials from waste incineration fly ash and its application in carbon dioxide adsorption. The method involves preparing in-situ hydrothermal composite materials based on incineration fly ash using a dispersion-suspension-solidification technology coupled with tetraethylenepentamine. Then, a tetraethylenepentamine-loaded geopolymer / zeolite composite material is prepared by mixing it with tetraethylenepentamine to achieve efficient carbon dioxide capture. This solves the problem of low adsorption capacity of geopolymers in carbon dioxide capture. Simultaneously, it develops the application of geopolymers prepared from incineration fly ash in the adsorption field. The prepared composite material has advantages such as good wear resistance, high adsorption capacity, and long adsorption / desorption cycle, and can be used for carbon dioxide capture in flue gas, realizing high-value-added utilization of geopolymers based on incineration fly ash.
[0006] A method for developing a polymer / zeolite composite material based on fly ash from waste incineration includes the following steps:
[0007] 1) Mix incineration fly ash with deionized water, stir and filter at room temperature to obtain dechlorinated incineration fly ash;
[0008] 2) The solid obtained in step 1) is mixed with the alkali activation solution and fly ash to form a uniform slurry. Then, a foaming agent is added and the mixture is stirred until homogeneous to obtain a porous geopolymer slurry.
[0009] 3) The porous geopolymer slurry obtained in step 2) is added dropwise to dimethyl silicone oil, cured and shaped, and filtered to obtain porous spherical geopolymer;
[0010] 4) The porous spherical geopolymer obtained in step 3) is directly transferred to a hydrothermal reactor for hydrothermal treatment, and after filtration and drying, geopolymer / zeolite is obtained;
[0011] 5) Disperse tetraethylenepentamine in anhydrous ethanol solution to obtain a mixed solution;
[0012] 6) Add the material obtained in step 4) to the mixed solution obtained in step 5), stir evenly, and dry to obtain a geopolymer / zeolite composite material loaded with tetraethylenepentamine.
[0013] The preferred liquid-to-solid ratio (L / kg) of the aqueous solution to the incineration fly ash in step 1) is (3-20):1, and the stirring time is 2h-12h.
[0014] In the preferred step 2), the mass ratio of dechlorinated incineration fly ash to fly ash is 10:(5-10), the solid-liquid ratio (kg / L) of the mixture of dechlorinated incineration fly ash and fly ash to the alkali activator is 1:(2-5), the molar ratio of SiO2 / Na2O in the alkali activator is 1.0-1.9, the foaming agent is H2O2 (concentration is 30%), and the amount of foaming agent added accounts for 1-10% of the mass of the mixture slurry.
[0015] The preferred step 3) involves adding the product dropwise to dimethyl silicone oil with a stirring speed of 200-1000 rpm and a curing temperature of 50-120°C, and the curing time is 5-30 min.
[0016] The preferred hydrothermal temperature in step 4) is 90-200℃, the hydrothermal time is 6h-12h, and the hydrothermal pressure is 0-2MPa;
[0017] The preferred mass ratio of tetraethylenepentamine to anhydrous ethanol solution in step 5) is 1:(5-20);
[0018] The preferred step 6) contains 10-50% of the mass of the geopolymer / zeolite.
[0019] The geopolymer / zeolite composite material prepared from the above-mentioned waste incineration fly ash is used for carbon dioxide adsorption.
[0020] The composite material prepared in this invention is applied to carbon dioxide adsorption in a multi-temperature window (adsorption temperature range of 25-70℃);
[0021] Geopolymer / zeolite composites prepared using incinerator fly ash are applied in the field of carbon dioxide adsorption. These materials exhibit advantages such as high carbon dioxide adsorption capacity, long adsorption / desorption cycle time, and wear resistance. The carbon dioxide adsorption capacity ranges from 2.32 to 4.29 mmol / g, and the compressive strength ranges from 1.20 to 3.37 MPa, remaining stable throughout 10 adsorption / desorption cycles.
[0022] As can be seen from the above technical solution, compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:
[0023] (1) The geopolymer / zeolite composite material prepared by the present invention using waste incineration fly ash is an adsorbent material with high carbon dioxide adsorption capacity. At the same time, the composite material has high compressive strength, which is conducive to its recycling and storage after use. It effectively prepares waste such as incineration fly ash into adsorbent material for carbon dioxide capture, so as to realize the high added value utilization of incineration fly ash and achieve "turning waste into treasure and treating waste with waste".
[0024] (2) The geopolymer / zeolite composite material prepared by the present invention utilizes the dispersion-suspension-solidification coupled in-situ hydrothermal technology. The geopolymer / zeolite composite material prepared by this method has excellent properties such as high pelletizing efficiency, high crystal conversion rate and large tetraethylenepentamine loading. Moreover, the preparation process is simple to operate. Unlike conventional hydrothermal, in-situ hydrothermal utilizes the water in the geopolymer without the need for external media. Therefore, no waste is generated in this process, which has high economic and environmental benefits.
[0025] (3) The geopolymer / zeolite composite material prepared by the present invention has tetraethylenepentamine loaded onto the geopolymer / zeolite material, which enables it to have stable carbon dioxide adsorption performance under medium and high temperature conditions, and is suitable for a wider adsorption temperature window, which can better meet the needs of industrial processing.
