Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of desulfurizers, and more particularly to an iron-based desulfurizer and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND
[0002] Coal gas is an important industrial fuel and chemical raw material, and its purification treatment is crucial for the stable operation of subsequent processes, equipment protection and environmental protection. Hydrogen sulfide in coal gas is a common harmful impurity, which not only has toxicity and corrosiveness, can seriously corrode pipelines, instruments and production equipment, but also can cause catalyst poisoning and deactivation in subsequent sections, and may cause sulfur oxide emission pollution. Therefore, efficient removal of hydrogen sulfide in coal gas is a key link in the coal gas purification process.
[0003] At present, the commonly used desulfurization methods in industry can be divided into two categories: dry desulfurization and wet desulfurization. Among them, the dry desulfurization process is simple, has high desulfurization precision, and can be operated at normal temperature or medium temperature, especially suitable for fine desulfurization of medium and low sulfur content coal gas. Among various dry desulfurizers, iron-based desulfurizers have been studied and applied more due to the easy availability of raw materials, lower cost, and renewability. However, in practical application, it is found that the existing iron-based desulfurizers still have some room for improvement. For example, the breakthrough sulfur capacity of some products is still difficult to meet the increasingly stringent fine desulfurization requirements; at the same time, its mechanical strength, anti-pulverization ability and activity stability after regeneration also need to be improved. These factors limit its more economical and efficient application to some extent.
[0004] The patent application file with publication number CN115814801A discloses a preparation method of an iron-based desulfurizer, which comprises: uniformly mixing iron salt, calcium powder, alkali metal and binder, extruding and molding, and drying to obtain a catalyst precursor; and treating the obtained catalyst precursor under the condition of high-temperature water vapor mixed gas for 2-12 hours to obtain a finished catalyst.
[0005] In this technical solution, the components are first physically mixed, and then treated with high-temperature water vapor mixed gas. Although this is beneficial to molding and improving strength, it also leads to uneven dispersion of active components in the carrier, which are often wrapped or aggregated, making it difficult to form rich and highly exposed active sites. This significantly reduces the effective contact area between the active phase and hydrogen sulfide gas, and reduces the number of effective active centers in unit volume. Therefore, although the mechanical strength is high, the reaction efficiency is limited, resulting in low overall sulfur capacity. SUMMARY
[0006] In order to solve the problems of poor dispersion of active components and low sulfur capacity of existing iron-based desulfurizers, the present application provides an iron-based desulfurizer and a preparation method thereof.
[0007] In a first aspect, the application provides a preparation method of an iron-based desulfurizer, which adopts the following technical scheme:
[0008] A preparation method of an iron-based desulfurizer, comprising the following steps:
[0009] S1: mixing iron salt, ferrous salt, manganese salt and zinc salt in water in a molar ratio of (1.2-2.0):1:(0.05-0.08):(0.03-0.05), heating to 35-45℃, blowing in air, adding an alkali solution, reacting for 20-30 min, and controlling the final pH of the reaction to be 8.0-8.5, solid-liquid separation, washing, drying, and obtaining a precursor;
[0010] S2: uniformly mixing the precursor, a composite pore-forming agent, a binder and an oxygen storage agent, shaping, and drying at 80-115℃ to obtain an iron-based desulfurizer;
[0011] The composite pore-forming agent comprises ammonium bicarbonate and ammonium acetate.
[0012] In the technical scheme, by controlling the molar ratio of iron salt and ferrous salt and performing co-precipitation in an atmosphere of low-oxygen-content air, the ferrous ions are controllably oxidized, so that iron oxyhydroxide with small crystal grains and uniform dispersion is directionally synthesized. In this process, manganese ions and zinc ions are simultaneously precipitated and uniformly mixed with iron ions in the early stage of precipitation, i.e. on the atomic / ion scale, to form a composite (oxy)hydroxide phase. The composite effect can effectively inhibit the excessive growth of iron oxyhydroxide crystal grains, improve the specific surface area of the material, and enhance the structural stability of the skeleton, so that a composite precursor with ideal micro-morphology is finally obtained.
[0013] In the shaping stage, the composite pore-forming agent and the binder are introduced, and after drying, the ammonium bicarbonate and the ammonium acetate are stepwise decomposed to build through and developed multi-level pores in the desulfurizer, significantly improving the gas mass transfer efficiency and giving the particles sufficient mechanical strength. In addition, the added cerium-zirconium composite oxide as an oxygen storage and release component promotes the more moderate and complete conversion of iron sulfide species into active iron (oxy)hydroxide in the regeneration stage by regulating the storage and release of oxygen, and inhibits the sintering and grain coarsening of the active phase due to local excessive oxidation or thermal effect, effectively delaying the structural degradation of the active component in multiple cycles and improving the regeneration stability. The whole process system integrates the structure regulation of the active phase, the construction of multi-level pores and the performance enhancement of regeneration, and finally obtains a high-performance iron-based desulfurizer with high specific surface area and porous iron oxyhydroxide as the active main body, and manganese and zinc elements uniformly compounded in a highly dispersed form.
[0014] Preferably, the volume fraction of oxygen in the air is 5%-8%.
[0015] Preferably, in step S2, the drying is performed by using a staged drying process.
[0016] Further preferably, in the step S2, dry air is introduced during the drying.
[0017] Preferably, the mass ratio of the precursor, the composite pore-forming agent, the binder and the oxygen storage agent is 100:(10~20):(10~15):(5~15).
[0018] Preferably, the oxygen storage agent is a cerium-zirconium composite oxide.
[0019] Preferably, the preparation method of the cerium-zirconium composite oxide comprises the following steps:
[0020] cerium salt and zirconium salt are added into water in a molar ratio of (0.6~0.8):(0.2~0.4), mixed uniformly, the pH is adjusted to 9.5~10.5, and then the precipitation reaction is carried out at 50~60℃ for 1.5~2h, and then the reaction kettle is transferred, the temperature is raised to 120~150℃, and then the hydrothermal crystallization is carried out for 4~6h, and then the solid-liquid separation is carried out, and then the washing, drying and calcination are carried out, and then the cerium-zirconium composite oxide is obtained after cooling.
[0021] Preferably, the calcination temperature is 500~600℃, and the calcination time is 2~3h.
[0022] In the technical solution, the cerium salt and the zirconium salt are mixed in a specific molar ratio and co-precipitated under alkaline conditions, which realizes the preliminary uniform mixing of cerium and zirconium elements at the molecular level. The subsequent hydrothermal crystallization treatment promotes the transformation of the amorphous precipitate into a cerium-zirconium composite oxide precursor with higher crystallinity and uniform composition, which is beneficial to improving the phase stability of the final product. The final calcination process not only removes residual hydroxyl groups and crystal water, but also further consolidates the formation of cerium-zirconium composite oxide with stable crystal structure and high oxygen storage and release capacity.
[0023] Preferably, after adjusting the pH, a surfactant is added, and the mass of the surfactant accounts for 3%~5% of the total mass of the cerium salt and the zirconium salt.
[0024] Preferably, the surfactant is polyethylene glycol 4000 or Tween 80.
[0025] In the technical solution, the surfactant helps to regulate the particle morphology and dispersibility of the precipitate, which is beneficial to obtaining a final product with appropriate specific surface area and particle morphology in the subsequent calcination step, thereby providing a structural basis for the stable function of the oxygen storage material.
[0026] Preferably, before use, the iron-based desulfurizer is treated by impregnation with an alkaline solution, and the alkaline solution comprises ammonia water, organic amine and water.
[0027] Further preferably, before use, the iron-based desulfurizer is impregnated in an alkaline solution, mixed for 2~3h, solid-liquid separated, washed and dried.
[0028] Preferably, the mass fraction of ammonia water in the alkaline solution is 10% to 15%, and the mass fraction of the organic amine is 5% to 10%.
[0029] Preferably, the organic amine is at least one of ethylenediamine and triethanolamine.
[0030] In the technical solution, the alkaline sites are introduced on the surface and in the pores of the desulfurizer through the impregnation treatment of the alkaline solution. This helps to strengthen the initial chemical adsorption of the acidic H2S molecules, optimize the reaction interface environment, and thus improve the reaction efficiency and deep desulfurization accuracy of the desulfurizer in the initial stage of operation.
[0031] Preferably, the binder is attapulgite.
[0032] Preferably, the binder is a modified binder, and the modified binder is attapulgite co-modified by an alkaline (earth) metal and an organic complexing agent.
[0033] Preferably, the preparation method of the modified binder comprises the following steps:

[0035] Preferably, the organic complexing agent is any one of citric acid, citrate, or tartrate.
[0036] Further preferably, the organic complexing agent is sodium citrate or sodium tartrate.
[0037] Preferably, the alkaline or alkaline earth metal salt is MgCl2 or KCl.
[0038] Preferably, the mass ratio of the attapulgite, the alkaline or alkaline earth metal salt, the organic complexing agent, and water is 100:(10 to 15):(3 to 5):(200 to 260).
[0039] In the technical solution, the modified binder is treated by the alkaline or alkaline earth metal salt and the organic complexing agent to significantly enhance the mechanical strength and structural integrity of the particles, and its good dispersibility is conducive to maintaining the porous structure of the active precursor formed. In a second aspect, the application provides an iron-based desulfurizer prepared by the above preparation method.
[0040] In the technical solution, the desulfurizer takes high specific surface area and porous iron oxyhydroxide as an active main body, and manganese and zinc elements are in a uniform composite form formed by co-precipitation of a precursor. After the composite precursor is mixed with a composite pore-forming agent, a binder and an oxygen storage agent to form granules, and then dried and pore-formed, a developed multi-stage pore structure is constructed inside the granules. The final product has high sulfur breakthrough capacity, excellent mechanical strength and good regeneration stability, and is suitable for fine desulfurization of medium and low sulfur coal gas.
[0041] In summary, the present application has the following beneficial effects:
[0042] The present application realizes directional generation of iron oxyhydroxide and regulation of nanoscale high dispersion structure through a co-precipitation process under a low-oxygen-content air atmosphere; synchronous precipitation of manganese and zinc ions further refines the crystal grains, increases the specific surface area, and increases the accessibility of active sites, which helps to improve the sulfur breakthrough capacity; the constructed multi-stage pore structure is beneficial to mass transfer of reaction gas, and improves the efficiency of desulfurization reaction; the oxygen storage and release function of cerium-zirconium composite oxide can efficiently promote regeneration of the desulfurizer, delay structural collapse of the active components, and prolong the service life.

[0118] Basic performance test: simulated feed gas composition (volume fraction): hydrogen sulfide concentration 100 ppm, water vapor 1%, the rest is nitrogen, space velocity 1000 h -1 ; the test temperature was 80℃, and the breakthrough endpoint was that the H2S concentration at the outlet of the reactor reached 1 ppm twice in succession, and the breakthrough sulfur capacity was calculated, and the test results are shown in Table 1;
[0119] Industrial simulation test: simulate the composition of the raw material gas (volume fraction): hydrogen sulfide concentration is 100 ppm, carbon monoxide is 20%, carbon dioxide is 10%, hydrogen is 2%, water vapor is 1%, the rest is nitrogen, space velocity is 1000h -1 ; the test temperature was 80℃, and the breakthrough endpoint was that the H2S concentration at the outlet of the reactor reached 1 ppm twice in succession, and the breakthrough sulfur capacity was calculated, and the test results are shown in Table 1;
[0120] (5) Regeneration cycle stability test: the desulfurizer that has completed the 80℃ industrial simulation desulfurization test and breakthrough is purged under nitrogen atmosphere for 30 min, and then switched to a regeneration atmosphere (5% by volume of oxygen, 5% by volume of water vapor, and the rest is nitrogen), and the outlet O2 concentration is restored to the inlet level, and no SO2 and other by-products are generated in the outlet gas. Take the breakthrough sulfur capacity of the first cycle as the basis, calculate the sulfur capacity retention rate after the 5th cycle as the evaluation index of regeneration stability, and the test results are shown in Table 1.
[0121] Table 1 Performance test data of iron-based desulfurizers prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Examples 1-5
[0122]
[0123] From the performance test data of the iron-based desulfurizers in Examples 1-3, it can be seen that by adjusting the molar ratio of iron salt to ferrous salt, low-oxygen air and the end point pH of the precipitation reaction, and at the same time cooperating with the synergistic effect of manganese salt and zinc salt in a certain proportion, an iron-based desulfurizer with high specific surface area, suitable pore structure and sufficient mechanical strength can be successfully prepared, which meets the performance requirements of basic desulfurization scenarios.
[0124] Combined with the XRD pattern analysis Figure 1 , it can be seen that under the low-temperature precipitation and drying process, a desulfurizer precursor with hydroxyl iron oxide as the main active phase is successfully prepared, and the characteristic diffraction peaks are mainly located near 26.7° and 35.2°; the secondary peaks at 29.0° and 47.9° correspond to the characteristic crystal faces of Ce 0.8 Zr 0.2 O2 solid solution, and the systematic high-angle shift of the peaks relative to the standard peaks of pure CeO2 indicates that Zr 4+ has successfully embedded into the CeO2 lattice to form a solid solution, which can effectively inhibit grain agglomeration.
[0125] From the performance test data of the iron-based desulfurizer in Examples 1 and Comparative Examples 1-5, it can be seen that the absence of cerium-zirconium composite oxygen storage agent directly leads to a significant decrease in the regeneration cycle stability of the desulfurizer; the absence of ferrous salt and the use of a single pore-forming agent result in a relatively small specific surface area and pore volume of the desulfurizer, and the sulfur capacity and regeneration cycle stability are significantly reduced. In addition, the mechanical strength of the desulfurizer without ferrous salt is reduced; the absence of manganese or the simultaneous absence of manganese and zinc results in a simultaneous decrease in desulfurization activity and regeneration cycle stability.
[0126] From the performance test data of the iron-based desulfurizer in Examples 4-7, it can be seen that the alkali solution impregnation treatment can effectively optimize the distribution of active sites on the surface of the desulfurizer, significantly improving its desulfurization capacity in a simulated industrial complex atmosphere; the binder modification technology can further enhance the structural integrity and activity retention rate of the desulfurizer after multiple regeneration cycles while maintaining high desulfurization capacity, achieving a synergistic improvement in desulfurization performance and cycle stability.
