Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of alumina modification technology, and more specifically, to a method for synthesizing modified alumina. Background Technology

[0002] Activated alumina, especially γ-Al₂O₃, is widely used as a catalyst support in petrochemicals, industrial catalysis, and automotive exhaust purification due to its large specific surface area, abundant porous structure, and low cost. However, conventional activated alumina is prone to phase transformation (such as from the γ phase to the θ phase and even the stable α phase) and particle sintering in high-temperature (e.g., above 1000℃) or high-temperature hydrothermal environments, leading to a sharp decrease in its specific surface area and pore volume, a reduction in catalytic active sites, and ultimately rendering it unusable. This is particularly prominent under harsh operating conditions such as automotive exhaust catalysis and catalytic combustion. Therefore, improving the thermal stability of activated alumina is a research hotspot in this field.

[0003] Currently, the mainstream method for improving the thermal stability of alumina is through doping modification, that is, introducing other elements (such as Si, La, Zr, Ti, etc.) to suppress its phase transformation and sintering. In existing technologies, the main methods for introducing modifying elements include impregnation and co-precipitation. Impregnation typically involves immersing solid alumina in a solution containing a precursor of the modifying element, but this method often leads to uneven distribution of the modifying element and unstable product performance. Although co-precipitation has been improved, for example by adding a modifier precursor to the alumina slurry, it is still difficult to achieve uniform dispersion of the modifying element because alumina particles are prone to agglomeration in aqueous media. Based on the above, this invention provides a method for synthesizing modified alumina. Summary of the Invention

[0004] To address the problems of insufficient thermal stability and uneven dispersion of modifying elements in existing alumina technologies, this invention provides a method for synthesizing modified alumina. This method achieves highly uniform dispersion of modifying elements by introducing multiple modifying components in stages and in a specific order during the in-situ synthesis of a boehmite precursor. This invention eliminates the need for modification after synthesizing boehmite powder or after calcination into alumina, effectively shortening the process flow and significantly improving the high-temperature thermal stability of the resulting alumina.

[0005] This invention provides a method for synthesizing modified alumina, employing the following technical solution: A method for synthesizing modified alumina includes the following steps: S1. Dissolve the organometallic compound in an alcohol solution to obtain solution 1. Add solution 1 to an aqueous aluminum sulfate solution, then add an aqueous sodium aluminate solution and carry out a neutralization reaction in parallel flow. During the neutralization reaction in parallel flow, add aminopropylsilazane. After the reaction is completed, a pseudoboehmite slurry is obtained. S2. Add hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base to the pseudoboehmite slurry and stir. Then, add sodium silicate under stirring to carry out the doping reaction. After the doping reaction is completed, filter, wash, and spray dry to obtain modified pseudoboehmite powder. S3. Modified alumina is obtained by calcining the modified boehmite powder.

[0006] Preferably, the organometallic compound in S1 is tetrabutyl titanate.

[0007] Preferably, the alcohol solution in S1 is at least one of ethanol, ethylene glycol, n-butanol, isopropanol, and tert-butanol.

[0008] Preferably, the alcohol solution in S1 is ethylene glycol.

[0009] Preferably, the neutralization reaction temperature in S1 is 62-85℃, the reaction time is 30-50 min, and the pH is 7-9.

[0010] Preferably, the aminopropylsilazane is added in S1 when the neutralization reaction has been underway for 10-20 minutes.

[0011] Preferably, the aluminum sulfate concentration in S1, calculated as aluminum oxide, is 70-130 g / L.

[0012] Preferably, the concentration of sodium aluminate in S1 is 80-200 g / L, calculated as alumina.

[0013] Preferably, the mass ratio of organometallic compound, alcohol solution, aluminum sulfate aqueous solution, and aminopropylsilazane in S1 is (0.01-0.03):(0.08-0.15):1:(0.02-0.05).

[0014] Preferably, the hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base in S2 is 2-hydroxyethyltrimethylammonium hydroxide or hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium hydroxide.

[0015] Preferably, the hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base in S2 is 2-hydroxyethyltrimethylammonium hydroxide.

[0016] Preferably, the mass ratio of hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base, sodium silicate, and pseudoboehmite slurry in S2 is (0.009-0.04):(0.01-0.04):1.

[0017] Preferably, the stirring time after adding the hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base in S2 is 20-40 min.

[0018] Preferably, the doping reaction time in S2 is 30-60 min.

[0019] Preferably, the washing in step S2 is performed using deionized water or deionized water containing ammonium carbonate.

[0020] Preferably, in the ammonium carbonate-containing deionized water, the amount of ammonium carbonate added is 5-12% of the mass of the deionized water.

[0021] Preferably, the inlet temperature of the spray dryer in S2 is 180-200℃, the outlet temperature is 90-110℃, and the pressure is 0.4-0.8MPa.

[0022] Preferably, the calcination temperature in step S3 is 500-800℃, and the calcination time is 3-5h.

[0023] In summary, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention pre-disperses a metal element (such as Ti) uniformly in an acidic aluminum source before the co-current reaction of aluminum sulfate aqueous solution and sodium aluminate aqueous solution. This ensures that the metal element can uniformly enter the alumina lattice and form a solid solution during the subsequent precipitation process, fundamentally increasing the phase transition temperature. During the co-current reaction, aminopropylsilazane is added, which hydrolyzes in the reaction system to generate silanol (-Si-OH) and amino (-NH2). The silanol condenses with the hydroxyl groups (Al-OH) on the surface of newly formed boehmite to form stable Al-O-Si covalent bonds, thus concentrating the silicon... The modified alumina particles are firmly anchored to the alumina surface, enhancing interfacial bonding and effectively inhibiting particle growth and sintering. After the co-current reaction, a hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base is first added to the generated boehmite slurry for dispersion treatment, effectively breaking up the agglomerates of boehmite particles and increasing their surface accessibility. Then, silicon is introduced for doping, so that the silica generated by hydrolysis uniformly coats the dispersed particle surface, forming a dense aluminosilicate "protective shell," further physically preventing high-temperature sintering. Silicon doping can also adjust the surface acidity. This invention achieves in-situ and uniform modification of alumina by introducing synergistic modifying components in a specific order at different stages, significantly improving the thermal stability of the final product, and has a short process flow and high cost-effectiveness.

[0024] This invention combines the precursor preparation and modification steps into one, avoiding the complex process of synthesizing powder first and then impregnating or calcining for modification in traditional methods. It significantly shortens the production cycle, reduces energy consumption, and has good prospects for industrial application. Attached Figure Description

Modified alumina was obtained by calcining the modified boehmite powder at 800℃ for 3 hours.

[0048] Performance testing The comprehensive properties of the modified alumina powders prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-3 of this invention were tested respectively, as follows: The specific surface area and pore volume of modified alumina powder before and after aging at 1200℃ for 10 hours were tested by the BET method, and the results are shown in Table 1.

[0049] Table 1: From Table 1 and Appendix Figure 1-12 As can be seen from the results, the modified alumina prepared in Examples 1-3 has significantly better overall performance than that of Comparative Examples 1-3, exhibiting high specific surface area and pore volume, and significant advantages in thermal stability, thus possessing broad market prospects.

[0050] Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 1: After lacking titanium doping, the sample underwent high-temperature aging at 1200℃, and the specific surface area decreased from 180 m² / s². 2 / g plummeted to 140m 2 / g, and the pore volume also decreased significantly. This proves that the pre-introduction of metallic elements before the formation of pseudoboehmite plays an indispensable role in suppressing high-temperature phase transformation and stabilizing the material structure.

[0051] Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2: Without aminopropylsilazane, a key interfacial anchoring agent, the high-temperature stability of the samples deteriorated significantly, with the specific surface area reduced to only 120 m² after aging. 2 / g. This indicates that introducing the first silicon protective layer through chemical bonding during particle growth is one of the core steps to achieve high stability.

[0052] Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 3: In the absence of the highly efficient dispersant hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base, even with the subsequent addition of sodium silicate, the performance of the samples after aging deteriorated significantly, with the specific surface area decreasing to 115 m². 2 / g, with particularly severe pore volume loss. This fully demonstrates that the addition of hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base ensures the uniform and effective formation of the second silicon protective shell, thereby producing a synergistic effect with the first two modification steps.

[0053] Comparative Example 1 with Comparative Examples 4 and 5: When titanium metal, aminopropylsilazane, hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base and sodium silicate are added to the reaction system simultaneously (i.e., without staged addition); or when titanium metal, aminopropylsilazane, hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base and sodium silicate are added to the reaction system in a different order than that specified in Example 1 (i.e., not in a specific order), the overall performance of the prepared sample will decrease significantly.

[0054] In summary, the "four-in-one" in-situ modification method proposed in this invention, which introduces titanium, aminopropylsilazane, hydroxylated quaternary ammonium base and sodium silicate in stages and in a specific order, has each step that is interconnected and indispensable. Through synergistic effect, it endows alumina with unexpectedly excellent high-temperature thermal stability and solves the problems in the prior art.

[0055] This specific embodiment is merely an explanation of the present invention and is not intended to limit the invention. After reading this specification, those skilled in the art can make modifications to this embodiment without contributing any inventive step, but such modifications are protected by patent law as long as they are within the scope of the claims of the present invention.
