Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the field of alumina pellet preparation, and particularly relates to a preparation method of alumina pellets with large specific surface area and large pore volume. BACKGROUND

[0002] Active alumina is a widely used chemical product, which is widely used as a catalyst carrier due to its suitable specific surface area, rich pore volume and pore size, and good chemical stability. At present, in the field of chemical industry, especially in the field of petroleum chemical industry and biological chemical industry, high molecular weight raw materials are increasingly widely used, which requires the catalyst or catalyst carrier used to have large mesopores or macropores and large specific surface area. Therefore, it is a hotspot to study the improvement of the pore structure of active alumina.

[0003] Patent CN1160602A discloses a macroporous alumina carrier and a preparation method thereof, the pore volume of which is 0.80-1.20 mL / g, and the specific surface area is 110-200 m 2 / g. During the kneading of pseudo-boehmite and water or an aqueous solution, a physical pore expander such as carbon black and a chemical pore expander such as a phosphorus compound are simultaneously added. The specific surface area of the alumina carrier produced by the method still needs to be further improved. Patent CN104353502A discloses a preparation method of a macroporous spherical alumina, in which alumina gel, water and a seaweed acid salt solution are uniformly mixed, then pseudo-boehmite or alumina powder is added, a suspension slurry is prepared by high-speed stirring, and the slurry is dropped into an aqueous solution of a polyvalent metal cation to form gel pellets. After shaping, drying and calcination, the product is obtained. However, the addition of the aqueous solution of the metal cation may introduce other impurity ions, resulting in a decrease in the purity of the alumina. Patent CN103172097A discloses a preparation method of pseudo-boehmite, in which a met-alloaluminate solution and an aluminum salt solution are simultaneously poured into a rotating liquid film reactor for rapid mixing and nucleation. After the pseudo-boehmite is shaped and carried with active components, a catalyst is prepared, which can be widely used in catalytic hydrogenation reactions.

[0004] In the field of oil refining and chemical industry, with the deterioration and heavy quality of crude oil, there is an increasing need for alumina with high specific surface area and large pore volume as a catalyst carrier to improve the internal diffusion rate, promote the transfer of long-chain molecules, and improve the catalytic activity. The spatial structure of the material synthesized by the template-induced crystallization method depends on the structure guidance of the template agent, so that the skeleton and pore structure will change. Some template agents cause the collapse of the pore structure of pseudo-boehmite during peptization and heat treatment. Therefore, a template inducer with improved crystal order is needed to balance the basic properties and reaction performance of the pore material. In addition, the expansion of the pore structure of the synthesized pseudo-boehmite will inevitably lead to a decrease in the specific surface area, which is not conducive to the uniform dispersion of the active phase, thereby affecting the catalytic activity of the catalyst. SUMMARY

[0005] The present application aims to provide a method for synthesizing high-purity, large specific surface area, large pore volume pseudo-boehmite by alcohol aluminum hydrolysis method, and then preparing alumina pellets by combining the rotary liquid film reactor with template-induced crystallization, which has high specific surface area, rich pore structure, high crush strength and good stability. High specific surface area is beneficial to provide more active sites, increase the contact between active sites and reactants, and improve the reaction rate; large pore volume is beneficial to improve the dispersity of metal catalytic active centers and provide the required channels for the diffusion of metal active centers in the subsequent preparation of supported solid catalysts. The pore structure and specific surface area are expanded to improve the loading performance and increase the dispersity of active components. The alumina pellets are suitable for oxidation, dehydrogenation, reforming, polymerization and other reaction processes in the field of petroleum chemical industry, and are particularly suitable for continuous reforming, propane dehydrogenation and other reactions.

[0060]

[0061] It is found from the experimental data that, when the hydrolysis process of pseudoboehmite is completed by using a rotating liquid membrane reactor, the specific surface area of the sample is greatly increased at high shear speed, because the solid-liquid contact area is increased during the reaction, which promotes a large number of nucleation. 20 PO 10 EO 20 Compared with DMF, the alumina pellets prepared by using the template inducing agent have a larger pore volume, and do not cause a decrease in the specific surface area.
