The invention relates to a
sodium-iron-
copper-containing
activated carbon adsorbent for adsorbing
hydrogen sulfide and a preparation method thereof. The adsorbent is prepared from powdered carbon, iron salt,
copper salt,
sodium salt,
potassium oxalate and
ammonium ferric citrate through a specific process. The preparation method comprises the following steps: dissolving the raw materials in water to obtain a modified solution; kneading with carbon
powder, and performing
extrusion molding; and carrying out heat preservation and
drying, and activating at 450-650 DEG C in an
atmosphere in which the volume ratio of
nitrogen to
water vapor is (5-10): 1 and the temperature of the
water vapor is 150-180 DEG C, so as to obtain the catalyst. The adsorbent adopts
sodium, iron and
copper ternary synergistic modification, and an additive and an activation process are optimized, so that the adsorbent shows high
sulfur capacity (up to 9.2%) and excellent cycle stability (the capacity
fading rate after 50 times of regeneration is less than 5%) in a simulated industrial
atmosphere with the H2S content of 1-500ppm. After adsorption saturation, regeneration can be realized only by treatment at 120-180 DEG C in a
hydrogen sulfide-free
atmosphere, no waste liquid is generated in the process, and the regeneration
energy consumption is low. The adsorbent is especially suitable for removal and resource recycling of low-concentration
hydrogen sulfide such as
blast furnace gas and
chemical waste gas.
