AI Technical Summary
Existing technologies for preparing carbon molecular sieves suffer from insufficient stability and pore structure, making it difficult to meet the high-efficiency gas separation requirements of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) technology.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This application belongs to the field of carbon molecular sieve technology, and in particular relates to a method and application for preparing CMS carbon molecular sieves from recycled flower mud waste. Background Technology
[0002] Carbon molecular sieves (CMS) are a special type of activated carbon with a bilevel pore structure and uniform micropore distribution, exhibiting high gas separation selectivity. They are prepared from high-carbon-content materials through high-temperature pyrolysis. Numerous carbon precursors can be used to prepare CMS, including polymer precursors, bituminous precursors, and biomass precursors. Polymer precursors are widely available, such as resins and polyurethanes. By selecting appropriate chemical reagents and carbonization processes, the pore structure, surface chemical composition, and catalytic activity of porous carbon can be improved.
[0003] Compared to materials like MOFs and zeolite molecular sieves, which face challenges in stability, high price, and particle formation, carbon molecular sieves possess advantages such as excellent structural and chemical stability, lower preparation costs, and wider availability. Using polymer precursors as carbon sources offers advantages such as simple structure and low impurity content. Commonly used polymers are thermosetting phenolic resins or phenolic resin foam materials prepared through phenolic resin foaming processes. This type of phenolic resin foam material is called "phenolic foam," and the use of phenolic foam as a raw material for preparing carbon molecular sieves is increasingly favored by technicians.
[0004] For example, patent application publication number CN120288743A discloses a phenolic resin modified carbon molecular sieve, including the following steps: a) In-situ polymerization: phenolic resin polymerization mother liquor and carbon molecular sieve are mixed, and after static adsorption, the adsorbed carbon molecular sieve is heated to carry out a polymerization reaction to obtain a polymerization product; the phenolic resin polymerization mother liquor includes phenolic substances, aldehyde substances and solvents; b) Carbonization modification: the polymerization product is calcined under a protective atmosphere to obtain a phenolic resin modified carbon molecular sieve, which has selective adsorption properties and can be applied in the N2 / CH4 system, selectively adsorbing N2 with a high separation ratio and good stability.
[0005] For example, patent application CN111087561A discloses a production process for granular phenolic resin. The process involves the polymerization of phenol and formaldehyde under the catalysis of an acidic or alkaline catalyst. Before the reaction, an emulsifier is added to bring the reaction solution to an appropriate viscosity and suspension dispersion at a specific reaction temperature. The polymerization reaction is carried out under thorough stirring to generate granular phenolic resin. The phenolic resin is then cured by extending the reaction time or adding a curing agent. The phenolic resin is then washed, filtered, and dried to obtain uniform, cured granular phenolic resin with a particle size of less than 10 μm, which is used in the production of carbon molecular sieves to improve the adsorption performance of carbon molecular sieves.
[0006] The aforementioned documents continuously improve the process for preparing carbon molecular sieves and enhance their performance. However, with the continuous advancement of pressure swing adsorption technology, exploring more advanced porous carbon material preparation technologies to produce carbon molecular sieves with excellent selectivity is of great demand and practical significance.

[0060] Example 1
[0061] The method for preparing CMS carbon molecular sieves from recycled floral foam in this embodiment includes the following steps:
[0062] 1) Phenolic resin floral foam is pulverized using a pulverizer, generating a small amount of crushing dust (G1) during this process. The pulverized material is then dried in a dryer at 150℃. The material enters the drum through a feeding device, while the high-temperature flue gas from the incinerator circulates repeatedly within the pipes on the outer layer of the drum. Driven by the lifting plates, the material is continuously lifted and scattered in a spiral motion to achieve heat exchange, thereby continuously evaporating moisture and drying the material. The drying time is approximately 1.5 hours, during which a small amount of dust (G2) is generated. The dried material is then ball-milled into a micro-powdered precursor, with the particle size of the precursor controlled. The material has a particle size of 5-30 μm and is transported to a storage tank via pipeline for later use. During the grinding process, ball mill dust (G3) is generated. After grinding into powder, the material undergoes a second drying process, lasting 1 hour. A small amount of dust (G4) is generated at the end of the dryer. The final moisture content of the precursor is controlled at 5-8%. Small amounts of free formaldehyde, phenols, and water vapor generated during the two drying processes are collected via pipeline condensation and sent to the extrusion molding section for reuse. In this embodiment, the precursor material has an ash content of 2.68%, a volatile matter content of 40.32%, a moisture content of 5.82%, and a fixed carbon content of 51.18%.
[0063] 2) Mix 3kg of precursor material, 100g of starch, 50g of tar oil, 50g of asphalt and an appropriate amount of water. A small amount of dust (G5) will be generated during the mixing process. After the mixture is evenly mixed, it is fed into an automatic temperature-controlled kneader. After being kneaded evenly by the kneader, it is extruded by a twin-screw extruder to obtain carbonized material. The purpose of kneading is to make the carbonized material have a certain viscosity and to prevent the volatilization of organic waste gas. The kneader is covered and sealed. A small amount of organic waste gas will volatilize during the operation of the kneader (Gu1).
[0064] 3) Carbonized materials are fed into the cylinder of the carbonization furnace in batches. The cylinder rotates and is continuously heated by resistance wires. During the pyrolysis process, various functional groups, bridging bonds, free radicals, and aromatic rings undergo decomposition and polymerization reactions. The thermally unstable components are released as volatiles. The purpose is to develop the pores of the carbonized product and expand or shrink the pore size. The carbonization process is divided into three stages: the first stage is 0~300℃, and the exhaust gas is mainly water vapor, containing a small amount of low-carbon organic matter and some volatile organic matter; the second stage is 300~650℃, and the exhaust gas is mainly high-carbon organic matter. The exhaust gas can spontaneously combust, and with the help of air, it can burn violently to produce high temperatures; the third stage is 650~850℃, and the exhaust gas is mainly H2 and CO from the decomposition of the material. It can spontaneously combust, and the carbonization time is about 4 hours.
[0065] After carbonization, the material enters a deposition furnace for deposition. Under nitrogen protection, the temperature is raised to 800℃, and pure benzene is introduced at a rate of 35 g / min to adjust the pore size. The addition time is 30 min. The introduced benzene rapidly decomposes into a C and H mixture at high temperature. C is deposited on the walls of the micropores of the material, thereby reducing the diameter of the product pores. H and C can form CH4 gas, which is emitted. A small amount of benzene vapor is present in the exhaust gas. The deposition time is approximately 2.5 h, at which point the product is obtained.
[0066] The first stage of the carbonization process mainly produces water vapor and VOCs in the exhaust gas. In the second and third stages, due to the higher temperatures, all VOCs are decomposed into H2, CO, methane, etc. The deposition process generates methane and a small amount of VOCs. The VOCs and other pollutants (G7) generated during the carbonization and deposition process are collected through pipelines and sent to the main incinerator for combustion, achieving a combustion rate of over 90%. The gas then enters a regenerative thermal precipitator for initial dust removal before being sent to an auxiliary combustion furnace for residual gas combustion. After cooling in a water-cooled tower, the gas is discharged through a 15m high exhaust stack to meet emission standards (G8). The cooling water is recycled and replenished periodically. The large amount of waste heat generated during combustion is delivered via hot air pipelines to provide indirect heating energy for the raw material drying system. The main incinerator uses #0 diesel oil as auxiliary fuel, and the auxiliary combustion furnace uses biomass pellets as auxiliary fuel. Through secondary combustion, the exhaust gas combustion rate reaches over 98%. Because the equipment cannot be perfectly sealed during the carbonization and deposition process, a small amount of fugitive volatile gas (Gu2) is generated. A gas collection hood is installed above the carbonization furnace and the deposition furnace. The unorganized volatile gases are collected by the induced draft fan, absorbed by the workshop water spray device, and then discharged into the atmosphere from the 15-meter-high exhaust stack.
[0067] After sedimentation, the discharged material undergoes inspection and sieving, with the particle size controlled at approximately 1-1.5 mm. Qualified products are stored in the warehouse, while substandard products are returned for repeated sedimentation. According to company experience, the pass rate for the first sedimentation is generally 85%, and the second sedimentation achieves near-complete pass rate. Dust (G6) generated during the sieving process is collected using a bag filter.

In this embodiment, the precursor material has an ash content of 2.68%, a volatile matter content of 40.32%, a moisture content of 5.82%, and a fixed carbon content of 51.18%.
[0071] 2) Mix 3kg of precursor material, 100g of starch, 50g of tar oil, 50g of asphalt and an appropriate amount of water. A small amount of dust (G5) will be generated during the mixing process.

It can spontaneously combust, and the carbonization time is about 5 hours.
[0073] After carbonization, the material is transferred to a deposition furnace for deposition. Under nitrogen protection, the temperature is raised to 800℃, and pure benzene is introduced at a rate of 35 g / min to adjust the pore size. The addition time is 30 min. The introduced benzene rapidly decomposes into a C and H mixture at high temperature.

In this embodiment, the precursor material has an ash content of 2.68%, a volatile matter content of 40.32%, a moisture content of 5.82%, and a fixed carbon content of 51.18%.
[0079] 2) Mix 3kg of precursor material, 100g of starch, 50g of tar oil, 50g of asphalt, 50g of interface agent and appropriate amount of water. A small amount of dust will be generated during the mixing process (G5). After the mixture is evenly mixed, it enters an automatic temperature-controlled kneader. After being kneaded evenly by the kneader, it is then extruded by a twin-screw extruder to obtain carbonized material. The purpose of kneading is to make the carbonized material have a certain viscosity and to prevent the volatilization of organic waste gas. The kneader is covered and sealed. A small amount of organic waste gas will volatilize during the operation of the kneader (Gu1).
[0080] The interface agent in this embodiment is prepared using the following steps:
[0081] S1: Mix 50g glycerol, 20g choline chloride, and 10g water evenly, then add 5g N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide and 0.5g sodium chloride, stir to dissolve and obtain the pretreatment solution;
[0082] S2: Add photoinitiator (1.5% of the mass of N-(2-hydroxyethyl)acrylamide) to the pre-solvent, and carry out photopolymerization reaction at room temperature with ultraviolet light at a wavelength of 365nm and a power of 36w for 2 hours to obtain the product;
[0083] 3) Carbonized materials are fed into the cylinder of the carbonization furnace in batches. The cylinder rotates and is continuously heated by resistance wires.

Under nitrogen protection, the temperature is raised to 800℃, and pure benzene is introduced at a rate of 35 g / min to adjust the pore size. The addition time is 30 min. The introduced benzene rapidly decomposes into a C and H mixture at high temperature. C is deposited on the walls of the micropores of the material, thereby reducing the diameter of the fine pores in the product. H and C can form CH4 gas, which is emitted. A small amount of benzene vapor is present in the exhaust gas. The deposition time is about 3 hours, and the product is obtained.
[0085] The first stage of the carbonization process mainly produces water vapor and VOCs in the exhaust gas. In the second and third stages, due to the higher temperatures, all VOCs are decomposed into H2, CO, methane, etc. The deposition process generates methane and a small amount of VOCs. The VOCs and other pollutants (G7) generated during the carbonization and deposition process are collected through pipelines and sent to the main incinerator for combustion, achieving a combustion rate of over 90%. The gas then enters a regenerative thermal precipitator for initial dust removal before being sent to an auxiliary combustion furnace for residual gas combustion. After cooling in a water-cooled tower, the gas is discharged through a 15m high exhaust stack to meet emission standards (G8). The cooling water is recycled and replenished periodically. The large amount of waste heat generated during combustion is delivered via hot air pipelines to provide indirect heating energy for the raw material drying system. The main incinerator uses #0 diesel oil as auxiliary fuel, and the auxiliary combustion furnace uses biomass pellets as auxiliary fuel. Through secondary combustion, the exhaust gas combustion rate reaches over 98%. Because the equipment cannot be perfectly sealed during the carbonization and deposition process, a small amount of fugitive volatile gas (Gu2) is generated. A gas collection hood is installed above the carbonization furnace and the deposition furnace. The unorganized volatile gases are collected by the induced draft fan, absorbed by the workshop water spray device, and then discharged into the atmosphere from the 15-meter-high exhaust stack.
[0086] After sedimentation, the discharged material undergoes inspection and sieving, with the particle size controlled at approximately 1-1.5 mm. Qualified products are stored in the warehouse, while substandard products are returned for repeated sedimentation. According to company experience, the pass rate for the first sedimentation is generally 85%, and the second sedimentation achieves near-complete pass rate. Dust (G6) generated during the sieving process is collected using a bag filter.
