The invention discloses a preparation method and application of a micron-pore
alumina carrier. The preparation method comprises the following steps: step 1, crushing a waste
ethylene oxide catalyst; step 2, carrying out acid leaching on the crushed waste
ethylene oxide catalyst to obtain silver, filtering to obtain a silver-containing leaching solution, and washing the residual
solid with water to obtain an aluminum
oxide filter cake; step 3, carrier preparation; uniformly mixing the
alumina filter cake, a hard template pore-enlarging agent, a binder, a forming
extrusion aid and a
sintering aid; adding an
aqueous solution containing a cross-linking agent, and kneading; extruding and dicing; and
drying and
roasting to obtain the micron-pore
alumina carrier. According to the invention, through three measures of stacking crushed particles into secondary pores, decomposing a hard template agent into strip-shaped ultra-large micron pores in situ and cross-linking and condensing organic high-molecular polymers into communicating pores, the
connectivity of pore channels is improved, the pore size is increased, the
diffusion performance of the carrier is improved, and more iron scales can be accommodated.
