[0035] Application of dechlorination adsorbents prepared by any of the above methods in the dechlorination of chlorine-containing waste plastic pyrolysis gas.

[0036] The beneficial effects of this invention are as follows:

[0037] Plasma etching of ZIF-8, using H + Bombardment selectively removes some Zn nodes, and the resulting local defects / vacancies (holes in the framework) after node removal can easily lead to structural collapse in subsequent processing. The confinement effect of GO prevents the collapse of ZIF-8 pores, maintaining the porous structure and allowing it to better match the HCl kinetic diameter. Simultaneously, GO's large specific surface area provides a basis for loading the Mg / Al-LDH positively charged layer, utilizing the electrostatic adsorption of Cl by the Mg / Al-LDH positively charged layer. - It repels electrically neutral organochlorine molecules, achieving selective dechlorination and improving the dechlorination effect. The mesoporous ZrO2 layer coating provides thermal shielding for the porous structure, which helps maintain structural stability.

[0038] Furthermore, the La3Nd2ZnO7 fluorite structure formed from the active powder exhibits high entropy stability, which can suppress Zn 0 High-temperature agglomeration. The introduction of citric acid molecules on the surface of the active powder can improve the dispersion of the active powder through electrostatic repulsion, prevent agglomeration, and ensure stable dispersion in the colloid, which is conducive to uniform loading on the composite powder and improves the dechlorination adsorption effect. Detailed Implementation

[0039] Example 1: This example provides a method for preparing a dechlorination adsorbent, including the following steps: 1) Dissolve 5.6g of 2-methylimidazole in 50mL of methanol, and simultaneously dissolve 2.5g of zinc nitrate hexahydrate Zn(NO3)2·6H2O in 50mL of methanol. Mix the two solutions evenly, stir magnetically for 1h, and let stand for 24h. Centrifuge the product, wash it three times with methanol, and dry it to obtain ZIF-8.

[0040] 2) The ZIF-8 prepared according to the above method was placed in a plasma reactor and Ar / H2 mixed gas (volume ratio 9:1) was introduced at a flow rate of 50 mL / min at room temperature and treated at 300 W power for 30 min. After removal, it was washed with ethanol 3 times and then vacuum dried at 80 °C for 12 h.

[0041] 3) Add 4.04 g of magnesium chloride hexahydrate and 2.4 g of aluminum chloride hexahydrate to 50 mL of deionized water, stir and dissolve to obtain a salt solution; add 6 mL of ammonia water to 94 mL of deionized water to obtain an ammonia solution with a volume concentration of 6%, add it to the salt solution, a precipitate is formed, then add sodium hydroxide solution to adjust the pH to 10±0.2 to obtain a precipitate; let the precipitate stand in the mother liquor for 45 min, centrifuge at 3000 rpm for 5 min, wash with deionized water, store the precipitate in an 80℃ oven to dry for 24 h, and then grind to obtain Mg / Al-LDH powder; mix Mg / Al-LDH powder with ethanol and water (volume ratio of ethanol to water is 7:3) to prepare a 10 wt% Mg / Al-LDH sol solution.

[0042] 4) The plasma-etched ZIF-8 and GO (graphene oxide) were mixed at a mass ratio of 1:2 and ultrasonically dispersed at 500 W (20 kHz) for 30 min. After being freeze-dried in vacuum at -30 °C for 24 h, the mixture was calcined at 300 °C for 2 h under N2 protection with a heating rate of 2 °C / min. The calcined product was then immersed in Mg / Al-LDH sol (the mass ratio of plasma-etched ZIF-8 to Mg / Al-LDH sol was 1:0.3) for 2 h, dried at 120 °C for 1 h, and activated at 320 °C for 1 h to obtain the molecular trap carrier.

[0043] 5) La(NO3)3·6H2O, Nd(NO3)3·6H2O, and ZnCl2 were co-dissolved in water at target concentrations of 0.3 mol / L, 0.2 mol / L, and 0.1 mol / L, respectively. These solutions were then added dropwise in a 1 mol / L NH4HCO3 solution (the solvent being a mixture of ethanol and water in a 7:3 volume ratio) at a 1:1 volume ratio. After the addition was complete, the mixture was stirred at 500 rpm for 2 hours at room temperature, then centrifuged. The mixture was washed three times with an ethanol-water mixture (7:3 volume ratio) and then vacuum-dried at 60°C for 12 hours. The resulting precursor was calcined at 600°C for 4 hours in air at a heating rate of 3°C / min, then naturally cooled to room temperature under a N2 atmosphere and ground to obtain the active powder.

[0044] 6) Mix the active powder with citric acid and ethanol at a ratio of 10g:1.5g:150mL, stir at 60℃ for 2h, and centrifuge to obtain modified powder; then mix the modified powder with tetramethylammonium hydroxide and alcohol solution (ethanol-water mixture, volume ratio 7:3) at a ratio of 20g:1g:200mL, sonicate at 500W (20KHz) for 30min, age at 45℃ for 12h, adjust the pH to 8, and then add ethanol to the solid content to 20wt% to obtain active powder colloid.

[0045] 7) Immerse 60g of molecular trap carrier in 200mL of 0.5 mol / L ZrOCl2 solution for 1h, then remove and dry at 120℃ for 1h. Place it in a fluidized bed and pass zirconium n-butoxide vapor (300℃, N2 as carrier gas, 50mL of zirconium n-butoxide) for 30min. After the process is completed, pass water vapor for 10min to obtain a mesoporous ZrO2 layer coated molecular trap carrier.

[0046] 8) The mesoporous ZrO2 layer coated molecular trap carrier was impregnated in an active powder syrup at a mass ratio of 5:2, calcined at 400℃ for 2 hours under N2 atmosphere, and then ground to obtain composite powder.

[0047] 9) The composite powder, silica sol binder (SiO2 solid content of 30wt%), pore-forming agent (PEG-1000) and water are mixed in a mass ratio of 100:10:5:50 to prepare a slurry. The slurry is then spray-dried and granulated (inlet air temperature 180℃, outlet air temperature 80℃, feeding rate 10mL / min, spray pressure 0.3MPa). After drying at 120℃ for 2h, the slurry is calcined at 400℃ for 3.5h under N2 atmosphere to obtain the dechlorination adsorbent.

[0048] Comparative Example 1: It is basically the same as Example 1, except that when preparing the molecular trap carrier, the plasma-etched ZIF-8 was directly immersed in Mg / Al-LDH sol (the mass ratio of plasma-etched ZIF-8 to Mg / Al-LDH sol was 1:0.3) for 2 hours, then dried at 120°C for 1 hour, and activated at 320°C for 1 hour.

[0049] Comparative Example 2: Essentially the same as Example 1, except that in preparing the molecular trap support, the plasma-etched ZIF-8 and GO (graphene oxide) were directly mixed at a mass ratio of 1:2, ultrasonically dispersed at 500 W (20 kHz) for 30 min, freeze-dried under vacuum at -30°C for 24 h, and then calcined at 300°C for 2 h under N2 protection at a heating rate of 2°C / min. The calcined product was not impregnated in Mg / Al-LDH sol.

[0050] Comparative Example 3: It is basically the same as Example 1, except that the active powder is directly mixed with ethanol to obtain an active powder slurry with a solid content of 20wt%, and then the mesoporous ZrO2 layer coated molecular trap carrier is impregnated in the active powder slurry at a mass ratio of 5:2. Under N2 atmosphere, it is calcined at 400°C for 2 hours and then ground to obtain composite powder.

[0051] The breakthrough chlorine capacity of the dechlorination adsorbents prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-3 was tested. The test method was as follows: 50g of dechlorination adsorbent was measured and filled into a quartz glass tube with an inner diameter of 40mm and a length of 400mm. The stainless steel tube was kept at 500℃ in a heating furnace. Nitrogen gas was passed into 250 mL of concentrated hydrochloric acid with a mass concentration of 37.5%. After bubbling, the gas was passed into the quartz glass tube, and AgNO3 solution was passed into the outlet. When the AgNO3 solution became turbid, it was determined that the dechlorination adsorbent had broken through, and the experiment was stopped immediately. The breakthrough chlorine capacity of the dechlorination adsorbent was obtained according to the formula: Breakthrough chlorine capacity = (mass content of chlorine in the dechlorination adsorbent after breakthrough) / (total mass of the dechlorination adsorbent after breakthrough) × 100%. The test results are shown in Table 1.

[0052] Table 1. Transmission chlorine capacity of the dechlorination adsorbents prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2

[0053]

[0054] As can be seen from Table 1, the dechlorination adsorbent prepared in Example 1 has excellent chlorine penetration capacity, while the dechlorination adsorbents without GO confinement (Comparative Example 1), without electrostatic adsorption (Comparative Example 2), and with relatively poor active powder dispersion (Comparative Example 3) have relatively low chlorine penetration capacity.

[0055] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
