Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an adsorbent, in particular to an adsorbent in the field of chlorine cycle, and more particularly to an adsorbent for removing sulfuric acid. Background Art
[0002] Chlorine (Cl2), as an important basic chemical, is widely used in the production of chemical raw materials, agrochemicals, building materials, and pharmaceutical preparations. However, in most chlorine-related reactions, the utilization rate of chlorine resources is very low. Chloride mainly exists as a reaction intermediate and does not enter the final target product. Currently, the most effective way to treat the by-product hydrogen chloride in industry is to directly convert it into chlorine for recycling. Catalytic oxidation has many advantages such as simple operation, low energy consumption, no other side reactions, and high efficiency. It is an efficient and energy-saving way to achieve the recycling of chlorine resources.
[0003] At the end of the last century, Sumitomo Chemical developed a Ru-based industrial catalyst with strong low-temperature catalytic activity and stability, which has been successfully applied industrially. However, due to the sulfur-loving nature of Ru-based catalysts, they react with sulfides to form stable ruthenium sulfate salts that cover the active sites of ruthenium oxide microcrystals, affecting the catalyst's reaction activity. In the current industrial process, after the crude chlorine gas is dried with sulfuric acid and compressed and deep-chilled, most of the non-condensable gas at the top of the tower is returned to the reaction system. The current industrial design of the sulfuric acid drying tower adds a sulfuric acid demister. During actual operation, trace sulfuric acid droplets ≤10 microns will still penetrate the demister, which not only creates a corrosion risk in the subsequent system due to contact between sulfuric acid droplets and equipment such as the chlorine compressor, but will also eventually enter the reactor, affecting the operating life of the catalyst. Due to the high price of ruthenium, the cost of catalyst replacement is high, which greatly increases the production cost of industrial liquid chlorine. For this reason, it is necessary to control the index of sulfuric acid droplet content in the system raw materials.
[0004] CN110404343A discloses a system and method for removing SO3 aerosol from coal-fired flue gas. The device is designed to use a centrifugal removal tower to make the flue gas rotate at high speed and centrifuge so that SO3 droplets and aerosols are adsorbed on the wall of the centrifugal removal tower. The adsorbed aerosols and droplets are washed with cleaning water through a cleaning water spray device, and the SO3 and aerosols that are difficult to remove from the flue gas are dissolved in water and sent to the desulfurization system for further treatment. The treatment effect of this solution can reach 95%, PM 2.5 Aerosols were reduced by 83.4%. However, this process can cause water mist to be entrained in the gas phase, the system contains a Cl2 atmosphere, and the system is made of carbon steel, which has corrosion and leakage problems.
[0005] CN102989259A discloses a method for eliminating sulfuric acid mist. This method uses solid waste alumina red mud as an adsorbent to eliminate sulfuric acid mist. Additives are added to the alumina red mud and calcined at high temperature to improve the adsorption properties of the alumina red mud. The additives involved in this invention mainly include components such as Fe2O3, Al2O3, CaO, MgO, and Na2O in the red mud, as well as partially soluble alkalis that react chemically with sulfuric acid mist, exhibiting strong adsorption capacity and reactivity. Adsorption can reach over 90% within 2 hours, followed by a continuous decrease in adsorption capacity, reaching saturation within 6 hours. Because the current HCl oxidation process system contains Cl2, the use of alkaline adsorbents will quickly lead to saturation, making it unsuitable for long-term operation.
[0006] CN109701381A discloses a system and process for removing SO3 from coal-fired flue gas. The invention uses MgO powder as a reducing agent. After mixing the MgO powder with compressed air, the powder is sprayed into the flue through a powder spray nozzle located after the economizer or before the air preheater. When the powder spray nozzle is located after the economizer, SO3 can be removed from the flue gas, preventing SO3 from reacting with ammonia in the SCR denitrification device to form NH4HSO4. When the powder spray nozzle is located before the air preheater, SO3 and NH4HSO4 can be removed from the flue gas simultaneously. The invention is used to address the treatment of coal-fired flue gas pollutants, ensuring that SO3 emissions meet standards, while also addressing the corrosion of flues and equipment in low-temperature areas and the blockage of air preheaters. However, the main principle of this method is also based on the acid-base neutralization chemical reaction between MgO and SO3, making it unsuitable for crude Cl2 systems. Furthermore, the actual removal efficiency has not been evaluated in terms of sulfuric acid droplets, and thus cannot meet operational requirements.
[0007] CN117225369B discloses a preparation method of modified desulfurized activated carbon fiber and modified desulfurized activated carbon fiber. The fiber is modified by a nitrogen-containing organic base, not only so that the obtained activated carbon fiber has one or more nitrogen-containing groups, the nitrogen-containing groups are mainly basic groups such as amino groups, amine groups, amide groups, and nitrogen heterocyclic groups. These basic groups can chemically adsorb acidic gases and significantly increase the acidic gas adsorption rate. At the same time, the nitrogen-containing organic base etches pores on the surface of the fiber, significantly increasing the micropore volume of the obtained activated carbon fiber, thereby increasing the number of adsorption sites for acidic gases, thereby increasing the acidic gas adsorption rate. The nitrogen content of the modified desulfurized activated carbon fiber is 2.51% to 3.32%, the micropore volume is 0.81 to 0.85 mL / g, and the micropore ratio is 0.78 to 0.81. After 800 minutes of use, the saturated adsorption efficiency is only 33%, which does not meet the target of industrial removal efficiency. Summary of the Invention

8. The method according to claim 7, characterized in that In the S1, the mass ratio of the silicon source to the solution a is 1:8.4-13.
9. The method according to claim 7, characterized in that In the step S3 , the drying is vacuum drying at 60-90° C.; and the calcining is calcining at 400-600° C. for 2-6 hours.
10. A method for removing trace amounts of sulfuric acid from chlorine gas, comprising the following steps: The shell-and-tube adsorption tank is filled with the adsorbent according to claim 1 or 2 or the adsorbent prepared by the method according to any one of claims 3 to 9, with an adsorption temperature of 15 to 30° C., an adsorption pressure of 0.2 to 0.4 MPag, and a residence time of 6 to 10 seconds.
