Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The application relates to the technical field of industrial catalysis, and particularly discloses a preparation process of an oil-ammonia column alumina carrier with high specific surface area. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of industrial catalysis, the performance of a catalyst directly determines the reaction efficiency, product selectivity and production stability. As a carrier matrix of active components, the physical and chemical properties of a catalyst carrier have a key influence on the overall performance of the catalyst. Alumina has become one of the most widely used catalyst carriers in industry due to its excellent chemical stability, suitable surface acidity and good economy.
[0003] An industrial catalyst carrier needs to meet multiple dimensional requirements. On the one hand, it needs to have good mechanical strength and a regular shape to reduce the pressure drop of the reactor bed, optimize gas-liquid distribution and improve the flowability of materials. Among them, spherical alumina has become the mainstream carrier form due to its smooth surface, strong wear resistance and good uniformity of filling. On the other hand, the specific surface area of the carrier is a core index affecting the catalytic activity. A high specific surface area can provide more active sites, promote the adsorption and diffusion of reactant molecules, reduce the mass transfer resistance, and thus significantly improve the catalytic reaction efficiency.
[0004] At present, among the molding methods of spherical alumina, the oil-ammonia column molding method is the most widely used in industrial production due to its high sphericity, strong controllability of particle size and good process stability. However, the spherical alumina carriers prepared by the existing oil-ammonia column molding process generally have the technical bottleneck of low specific surface area. For example, the related patent technology with the publication number CN118255377A synthesizes high-purity pseudo-boehmite by using an organic aluminum alcohol method, and then the pseudo-boehmite is doped in an aluminum sol to form an oil-ammonia column. Although the alumina pellets obtained by the method have large pore volume, high sphericity and high purity, the specific surface area of the product is always less than 300 m 2 / g. Another patent technology with the publication number CN111517347A mixes low-sodium pseudo-boehmite and large-pore pseudo-boehmite and combines oil-ammonia column molding. Although the mechanical strength of the alumina spheres is greatly improved, the specific surface area is still limited to less than 300 m 2 / g.
[0005] The limitations of the above-mentioned existing technologies make it difficult for the spherical alumina carrier to fully play a role in catalytic scenarios that require high active sites, thereby restricting the further improvement of the industrial catalytic efficiency. Therefore, it is a key requirement to develop a process based on the oil-ammonia column molding method for stably preparing spherical alumina carriers with high specific surface area, which solves the current technical problems. SUMMARY
[0006] In view of the technical problem of low specific surface area of the spherical alumina carrier prepared by the existing oil-ammonia column forming method, the present application provides a high specific surface area oil-ammonia column alumina carrier preparation process, which aims to optimize the raw material system and accurately control the process parameters, on the basis of ensuring high sphericity, high purity and good mechanical strength of the carrier, significantly improve the specific surface area, and meet the application requirements of high activity catalytic scene.
[0007] The technical solution of the present application is as follows: the present application provides a high specific surface area oil-ammonia column alumina carrier preparation process, and the specific steps are as follows: Raw material system configuration: non-ionic surfactant and organic aluminum alcohol are used as core raw materials, the non-ionic surfactant is dissolved in deionized water at a concentration of 0.5-2wt%, and the organic aluminum alcohol is added to the above solution at a concentration of 24-36wt%; the non-ionic surfactant is selected from at least one of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA), polyethylene glycol (PEG) and Tween, and the organic aluminum alcohol is selected from at least one of isopropyl alcohol aluminum and tri-sec-butyl alcohol aluminum.
[0008] Alumina sol preparation: the above raw material mixing system is placed in a constant temperature environment of 60-80℃, and stirred for 1-2h to make the organic alcohol aluminum fully dissolved and initially dispersed; then add acid (such as concentrated nitric acid) to adjust the pH value of the system to 3.0-3.5, continue to stir for 2-4h, and form an alumina sol with uniform dispersion and good stability; accurate control of pH value and stirring time can avoid sol agglomeration, and lay a foundation for subsequent formation of porous structure.
[0009] Oil-ammonia column forming: the prepared alumina sol is uniformly dropped into the oil-ammonia column through the nozzle, the sol droplets form spherical droplets under the action of oil phase buoyancy and surface tension, then enter the ammonia phase and undergo gelation reaction to form alumina gel beads; the oil-ammonia column is composed of an upper oil phase and a lower ammonia phase, the oil phase is selected from at least one of kerosene, paraffin oil and mineral oil, the height of the oil phase is controlled to be 5-15cm, the ammonia phase is 8-15wt% ammonia water, the height of the ammonia phase is controlled to be 30-60cm, and the height ratio of the ammonia phase to the oil phase is 4-12; the oil-ammonia phase parameters can ensure the integrity of the droplet ball formation, and avoid gel bead adhesion.
[0010] Post-processing: the alumina gel beads formed in the oil-ammonia column are transferred to 8-15wt% ammonia water, and aged for 4-8h to enhance the structural stability of the gel beads; after aging, the gel beads are washed with water to remove residual impurities; then dried at 105℃ to remove free water and crystallization water in the gel beads; finally, the gel beads are calcined at 500-850℃ to convert the gel beads into alumina carrier with stable crystal structure.
[0011] In some embodiments, the non-ionic surfactant can be effectively regulated in a concentration range of 0.5-2 wt% to control the dispersibility of the sol and avoid particle agglomeration; and the organic aluminum alkoxide can be effectively regulated in a concentration range of 24-36 wt% to ensure the fluidity of the sol and provide sufficient aluminum source for forming a porous structure after subsequent calcination.
[0012] In some embodiments, the stirring temperature of 60-80 DEG C can promote the hydrolysis and dispersion of the organic aluminum alkoxide; the combination of the initial stirring of 1-2 h and the subsequent stirring of 2-4 h can ensure the uniformity of the sol system; and the acidic environment with a pH value of 3.0-3.5 can inhibit the rapid agglomeration of the aluminum oxide particles to form fine sol particles.
[0013] In some embodiments, the oil phase height of 5-15 cm can ensure that the droplets are fully spherical; the ammonia phase height of 30-60 cm and the ammonia water concentration of 8-15 wt% can ensure that the gel reaction is sufficient; and the ammonia / oil phase height ratio of 4-12 can balance the falling speed of the droplets and the gel reaction time to avoid deformation or incomplete structure of the gel beads.
[0014] In some embodiments, the drying temperature of 105 DEG C can gently remove moisture to avoid the collapse of the structure of the gel beads; and the calcination temperature range of 500-850 DEG C can ensure the crystallization of the aluminum oxide particles while retaining the porous structure between the particles to finally form a high specific surface area carrier.
[0015] The present application has the following beneficial effects relative to the prior art: Through the synergistic optimization of the raw material system and the process parameters, the specific surface area of the aluminum oxide carrier prepared by the present application can reach 385-428 m 2 / g, which is much higher than the level of <300 m 2 / g in the prior art, and can provide more active sites to significantly improve the adsorption and catalytic efficiency of the catalyst on the reactants, and is particularly suitable for fine catalytic reaction scenarios that require high active sites.
[0016] While improving the specific surface area, the process of the present application can still ensure the high sphericity and high purity of the carrier, and through the regulation of the aging and calcination processes, the mechanical strength of the carrier meets the requirements of the industrial reactor bed filling and material flow, avoiding the problems of carrier breakage or bed blockage caused by insufficient strength.
[0017] The raw materials used in the present application are all industrial-grade conventional raw materials, which are easy to obtain and have controllable cost; and the process parameters are all controllable values in a wide range, which do not require extreme conditions, are convenient for industrial scale-up production, can quickly adapt to the modification and upgrading of existing oil-ammonia column forming production lines, and reduce the threshold for industrial application.
[0018] The high specific surface spherical alumina carrier prepared by the application can be used as a carrier for hydrogenation, dehydrogenation, oxidation, denitration and other industrial catalytic reactions, and has significant application advantages and market value in the fields of high specific surface area requirements such as tail gas deep treatment and fine chemical synthesis.

[0030] Performance verification Specific surface area test (BET method) Instrument: full-automatic specific surface area and porosity analyzer; Sample pretreatment: 0.5 g of each alumina carrier sample was taken and placed in a sample tube, and was degassed at 120 ℃ and a vacuum degree <10 - 3 Pa for 4 h; Test conditions: liquid nitrogen temperature (196.15 ℃), nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherm determination range of relative pressure (P / P0) 0.01-0.99, specific surface area was calculated by using the Brunauer Emmett Teller (BET) model, and the data accuracy was ±1 m 2 / g.
[0031] Sphericity and spheroidization rate test Sphericity: using a metallographic microscope, magnification 200 times, randomly selecting 100 carrier particles, measuring the long axis diameter (L) and short axis diameter (D) of each particle using image analysis software (ImageProPlus6.0), calculating the sphericity (sphericity = D / L), taking the average value, precision ±0.01; Spheroidization rate: counting the total amount of sol drops (1000 drops), collecting the number of complete spherical gel beads (sphericity ≥0.90), calculating the spheroidization rate (spheroidization rate = complete spherical gel bead number / 1000 × 100%), precision ±1%.
[0032] Mechanical strength test Instrument: particle compressive strength tester; Test method: randomly selecting 20 carrier particles, placing each particle on the test platform, applying pressure at a speed of 1mm / min, recording the maximum pressure value when the particle breaks, taking the average value, precision ±1N / particle.
[0033] The performance verification results are as follows:
[0034] Examples 1-6 strictly follow the "raw material system-process parameters" synergistic scheme defined in the application: 24-36wt% organic alcohol aluminum as aluminum source, 0.5-2wt% nonionic surfactant as dispersant, preparing sol under the condition of 60-80℃ and adjusting pH to 3.0-3.5, forming through an oil-ammonia column with oil phase height 5-15cm and ammonia phase height 30-60cm (ammonia / oil ratio 4-12), combining with post-processing processes of 105℃ drying and 500-850℃ calcination, the finally prepared alumina carriers all present excellent and stable performance: The specific surface area significantly breaks through the bottleneck of the prior art, reaching 385-428m 2 / g, which is more than 30% higher than the product prepared by the existing oil-ammonia column forming process <300m 2 / g, which can fully meet the demand for "multiple active sites" in high-activity catalytic scenarios; The comprehensive performance is balanced, the sphericity is maintained at 0.95-0.97 (close to ideal sphericity), the spheroidization rate reaches 96%-99%, and the mechanical strength is 91-98N / particle, which completely meets the use requirements of "low pressure drop, high flowability, and anti-crushing" for industrial reactor bed filling, proving that the process of the application does not sacrifice the core application performance of the carrier while improving the specific surface area.
[0035] Comparative Example 1 uses the low-sodium pseudo-boehmite commonly used in the prior art to replace the organic alcohol aluminum of the application, and the rest of the process parameters are completely consistent with Example 1, and the final carrier specific surface area is only 282m 2 / g, which proves that "organic alcohol aluminum" is the core aluminum source for realizing high specific surface area in the present application, and it cannot break through the performance bottleneck by replacing traditional pseudo-boehmite; Comparative Example 2 reduces the oil phase height to 3 cm, adjusts the ammonia oil ratio to 3, and the rest of the conditions are consistent with Example 1. Not only is the specific surface area reduced to 275 m 2 / g, and the balling rate also drops from 98% to 72%, and the sphericity drops to 0.82, which proves that the limitation of "oil phase height 5-15 cm, ammonia oil ratio 4-12" is a double guarantee for "balling quality and high specific surface area", and deviation from this range will simultaneously cause the molding effect and performance to deteriorate; Comparative Example 3 increases the non-ionic surfactant concentration to 3 wt% (exceeding the upper limit of 0.5-2 wt% of the present application), and the sol appears obvious agglomeration, and the final carrier specific surface area is only 291 m 2 / g, which proves that the surfactant concentration range defined in the present application can precisely control the sol dispersibility, and too high concentration will cause particle agglomeration and destroy the porous structure; Comparative Example 4 uses the high temperature calcination of 900℃ commonly used in the prior art (higher than the upper limit of 850℃ of the present application), although the mechanical strength is increased to 125 N / particle, but the specific surface area is reduced to 268 m 2 / g, which proves that the limitation of "calcination temperature 500-850℃" is the key to balance the degree of crystallization and the retention of porous structure, and high temperature calcination will cause the collapse of the pore structure, and cannot realize high specific surface area.
[0036] In summary, the present application precisely limits "raw material type and concentration, sol preparation conditions, oil ammonia column molding parameters, post-processing temperature", and constructs a synergistic process system. The alumina carrier prepared by the present application realizes a breakthrough in specific surface area, and the comprehensive performance meets the industrial application requirements. At the same time, the results of the comparative examples fully prove that the process limitation of the present application is not a simple combination or parameter adjustment of the prior art, but a necessary technical feature for realizing "high specific surface area" target, which has outstanding substantial features and significant progress, and fully meets the requirements of patent inventiveness.
