Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application relates to the field of catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to an impregnation device for catalyst processing. BACKGROUND
[0002] In the field of catalyst preparation, the initial wet impregnation method is a common processing method, which needs to immerse the solid powder carrier in a metal precursor solution. For example, in the preparation process of a Ru-Co dual active site catalyst, the impregnation effect of the carbon black substrate and the Ru-Co monatomic precursor solution directly determines the active site distribution, dispersion uniformity and final catalytic performance of the catalyst, so the impregnation device is a key equipment to ensure the quality of catalyst preparation. At present, the commonly used impregnation device for catalyst processing in the industry mostly adopts a static soaking or fixed pipeline spraying mode to realize the contact between the metal precursor solution and the solid powder carrier. However, such devices have significant technical defects. On the one hand, the solid powder carrier is prone to agglomeration during static soaking, which makes it difficult for the metal precursor solution to penetrate into the agglomerates, resulting in local insufficient impregnation. On the other hand, the design of the fixed pipeline spraying or flow guide structure makes the solution flow path fixed, and the contact with the solid powder carrier is limited to a specific area, which cannot realize omnidirectional and dead angle-free mixing contact, thereby causing uneven loading of the metal precursor on the surface of the solid powder carrier, and the active site distribution is disorderly, which directly affects the modification effect and performance of the subsequent catalyst.
[0003] In addition, although some existing impregnation devices attempt to improve the mixing effect by adding a stirring mechanism, the stirring intensity is small and the impregnation effect is poor. If the stirring intensity is too large, the shear force generated during stirring can easily damage the structural integrity of the carbon black substrate. The design of the conventional reflux structure can only realize the recycling of the solution, and cannot strengthen the impregnation effect by changing the flow direction or contact position of the solution, resulting in insufficient impregnation completeness of the solid powder carrier and restricting the stable preparation of high-performance catalysts.

[0028] The present application will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.
[0029] Embodiment one: please refer to Figure 1 , Figure 2 and Figure 3 , an impregnation device for catalyst processing mainly includes an impregnation container 1 and a reflux pump 2, wherein the reflux pump 2 is a peristaltic pump type, the specific structure and connection relationship of each part are as follows: The impregnation container 1 is the core bearing part of the device, and the impregnation container 1 is internally provided with a screen 5, a partition plate 6 and an electric heating tube 16 from top to bottom. The screen 5 is connected to the inner side of the impregnation container 1 by clamping or other detachable connection method, which facilitates removal and cleaning, and also facilitates cleaning of the inside of the impregnation container 1. The catalyst raw material is directly placed above the screen 5, which can separate the carbon black base from the internal moving mechanism and avoid damage to the carbon black base.
[0030] Please refer to Figure 4 , Figure 5 and Figure 6 , the partition plate 6 is fixedly connected to the inner side below the impregnation container 1, which can divide the inside of the impregnation container 1 into two areas. The upper area is the impregnation area, and the lower area is the functional area, which mainly includes stirring and heating the impregnation liquid. The stirring shaft 7 is provided in the middle of the partition plate 6, and the stirring shaft 7 rotates under the driving action of the driving motor 9, thereby driving the stirring blade 8 fixedly connected to the top to rotate. The electric heating tube 16 is fixedly connected to the inner bottom of the impregnation container 1, and the reflux pipe 3 is wound outside the electric heating tube 16. By winding, the reflux liquid in the reflux pipe 3 can be heated during flow. A plurality of electric heating plates 17 are also fixedly connected below the partition plate 6, which assist the electric heating tube 16 to heat the impregnation liquid and improve the heating efficiency.
[0031] Please refer to Figure 7, the water inlet and the water outlet of the reflux pipe 3 are both located inside the immersion container 1, and the water inlet is further connected with a counterweight 18, which can be of different types, when the counterweight 18 has a large buoyancy, it will float in the immersion liquid, and the position of the suction liquid will change with the flow of the liquid. When the density and mass of the counterweight 18 are large, it can sink to the bottom of the immersion liquid, at this time, the position of the water inlet of the reflux pipe 3 is relatively fixed, so as to meet different immersion requirements. The reflux pipe 3 is connected by a plurality of pipes of different materials, and at least one flexible section is arranged at the end of the reflux pipe 3, a plurality of radial grooves 4 are arranged at the end of the flexible section, and the structure of the flexible section is arranged to change the position under the reaction force during the liquid discharge, so that the immersion effect is more sufficient, and the radial grooves 4 can make the reflux liquid be sprayed and resist the resistance, so as to reduce the impact force of the reflux liquid. The radial grooves 4 are at least two, so that the end of the reflux pipe 3 is divided into two parts, when a plurality of radial grooves 4 are arranged, the end of the reflux pipe 3 is divided into a plurality of parts, and the impact force of the reflux liquid will be more dispersed. Under the action of the reflux pump 2, the reflux pipe 3 can form a closed loop reflux, and the end of the reflux pipe 3 realizes directional movement through the reciprocating driving unit 10.
[0032] In the second embodiment, the following improvements are made on the basis of the previous embodiment: please refer to Figure 8 , the reciprocating driving unit 10 is arranged above the partition plate 6, and a sealing cover 14 is fixedly connected above the partition plate 6, and the core components of the reciprocating driving unit 10 are located inside the sealing cover 14, so that the immersion liquid can not enter the reciprocating driving unit 10, and the reciprocating driving unit 10 can work normally. Specifically, the reciprocating driving unit 10 includes a cam 11 fixedly connected to the outside of the stirring shaft 7, a sliding rod 13 connected with the partition plate 6 through a spring 12, the sliding rod 13 is L-shaped, and the sliding rod 13 always abuts against the surface of the cam 11 under the elastic force of the spring 12, and a snap ring 15 is further fixedly connected to the end of the sliding rod 13, and the reflux pipe 3 is installed in the snap ring 15 through clamping, so as to realize linkage with the sliding rod 13. The reciprocating driving unit 10 composed of the cam 11, the spring 12 and the sliding rod 13 can drive the snap ring 15 to reciprocate, so as to drive the flexible section of the reflux pipe 3 to reciprocate and adjust the position of the reflux liquid. Other reciprocating driving structures can also be used, for example, a crank slider mechanism, at this time, the driving of the crank slider mechanism is fixedly connected with the stirring shaft 7, and the end of the reflux pipe 3 is connected with the slider of the crank slider mechanism, so as to realize reciprocating adjustment of the position of the end of the reflux pipe 3.
[0033] Please refer to Figure 9 , a plurality of elastic clamping protrusions are arranged on the inner surface of the snap ring 15, and the clamping protrusions abut against the reflux pipe 3 under the extrusion force, so that the position of the reflux pipe 3 can be manually adjusted. The connection position of the reflux pipe 3 and the snap ring 15 is different, the movement track of the end is different when the reflux pipe 3 refluxes, and the stirring and mixing state of the immersion liquid will also change.
[0034] The top of the stirring shaft 7 is fixedly connected with stirring blades 8, and the lower end of the stirring shaft 7 extends below the partition plate 6 and is in transmission connection with a driving motor 9, so that the driving motor 9 can directly drive the stirring shaft 7 to rotate or indirectly drive the stirring shaft 7 to rotate through a gear transmission mechanism.
[0035] Taking the preparation of the Ru-Co b-active site catalyst as an example, the impregnation step of the carbon black substrate and the Ru-Co single atom precursor solution is as follows: S1, Co(NO3)2·6H2O (0.0198 g) and RuCl3·3H2O (0.0017 g) are weighed according to the proportion, dissolved in 20 mL of deionized water, 0.005 g of citric acid (chelating agent) is added, and stirred until dissolved; S2, the processed carbon black substrate is added to the chelated precursor solution of step S1, first stirred at room temperature for 1 h, and then stirred at 60℃ for 1 h.
[0036] The stirring until dissolved in step S1 can be directly carried out in the device of the present application, after complete dissolution, the carbon black substrate is placed in the mesh 5, so that Ru³+ and Co²+ are preferentially adsorbed on the "Co-O-C" defect sites of the carbon black, forming a "precursor-carrier" directional combination, laying a spatial position foundation for the Ru single atom to replace the Co lattice during subsequent calcination.

Therefore, the embodiments should be considered as exemplary and non-limiting, and the scope of the present application is defined by the appended claims rather than the above description, and all changes falling within the meaning and range of the equivalent elements of the claims are intended to be included in the present application. Any reference signs in the claims should not be considered as limiting the claims involved.
[0038] In addition, it should be understood that although the present specification is described in terms of embodiments, not every embodiment contains only one independent technical solution, and the description of the specification is only for the sake of clarity, and those skilled in the art should consider the specification as a whole, and the technical solutions in each embodiment can be appropriately combined to form other embodiments that those skilled in the art can understand.
