This invention discloses a
cerium sulfosalicylate
sulfonate for use as a
coal combustion catalyst, its preparation method, the catalyst itself, and its applications. The preparation method includes: S10, mixing
cerium nitrate and
sulfosalicylic acid dihydrate with water to obtain a
cerium sulfosalicylate complex solution; S20, adding the cerium sulfosalicylate complex solution to a first reverse
micelle solution to obtain a first
mixed solution, then adding n-
butanol in batches to obtain a first
microemulsion; S30, adding
ammonia to a second reverse
micelle solution, then adding n-
butanol in batches to obtain a second
microemulsion; S40, mixing the first and second microemulsions and stirring to obtain a pale blue, opalescent
colloidal solution, thus obtaining a second
mixed solution; S50,
drying and
grinding the second
mixed solution to obtain cerium sulfosalicylate. This cerium sulfosalicylate
coal combustion catalyst is easily dispersed and can catalyze the
pyrolysis and oxidation processes of
coal from within, improving the
utilization rate and calorific value of coal.
