Chlorine-containing volatile organic compound adsorbent and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of adsorbents, and particularly relates to a chlorine-containing volatile organic compound adsorbent and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Chlorine-containing volatile organics (Chlorinated Volatile Organic Compounds, CVOCs) are a class of contaminants commonly found in environmental media, including chlorinated alkanes, chlorinated alkenes, chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons, and the like. Generally, these CVOCs are mainly derived from petrochemical, printing, pharmaceutical and other industries. Global chloromethane production capacity in 2017 was 280 ten thousand tons/year, with methylene chloride used as a solvent, and the U.S. consumption was stable. The newly established 188 kinds of toxic gases (Hazardous Air Pollutants) in the U.S. national environmental protection agency list has 32 kinds of halogenated VOCs. CVOCs are considered persistent pollutants, difficult to degrade in the environment, and have greater environmental toxicity than other volatile organic compounds. Most CVOCs are insoluble in water, and CVOCs released into the atmosphere destroy the ozone layer, form photochemical smog and global warming, and have a three-effect on the human body, so that the release of CVOCs is limited by strict laws and regulations, and the national legislation prescribes that the CVOCs can be released after being treated. Currently, CVOCs are listed in a highly toxic chemical list by a plurality of countries, and are one of target pollutants for emission reduction and treatment.
Currently, CVOCs treatment technologies mainly comprise adsorption, absorption, membrane separation, combustion, condensation and other technologies. Compared with other treatment technologies, the adsorption method has the advantages of good purification effect, low energy consumption, simple operation and low running cost, and is an ideal CVOCs treatment technology. Common adsorbents include activated carbon, biomass materials, silica, and the like. Activated carbon adsorption is a typical adsorption method, but only activated carbon is used for adsorbing CVOCs, mainly physical adsorption is used, the adsorption capacity is small, and the adsorption effect is to be improved. Most of the existing adsorbents have poor selectivity to organic chloride in gas phase and low adsorption chlorine capacity, so that the conventional adsorbents are difficult to adsorb and remove CVOCs to meet the emission limit specified in GB31571-2015, a multi-stage activated carbon adsorption tower is required to be arranged, and investment and operation cost are exponentially increased.
CN103357242a discloses a pressure swing adsorption and/or temperature swing adsorption method, which comprises two or more adsorption towers filled with one or more adsorbents of silica gel, activated carbon, activated alumina or carbon molecular sieves and a series of program-controlled valves to form an adsorption separation system, wherein the adsorption separation system is used for carrying out adsorption and fine desorption on chlorine-containing industrial mixed gas, and the total content of chloride is controlled to be less than 5ppm at the outlet at the upper end of the adsorption tower. The process requires the grading of multiple adsorbents, the use of temperature and/or pressure swing adsorption processes, and these materials have poor selectivity for chlorine-containing compounds.
CN103611495a discloses an adsorbent for removing organic chloride from hydrocarbon-containing stream and its preparation method, which contains modified zeolite molecular sieve, inorganic macroporous material and clay component. The zinc ion modified zeolite molecular sieve contained in the adsorbent shows very high reactivity to organic chloride, compared with the prior art, the adsorbent has higher selective adsorption capacity to organic chloride, has wide use temperature range and low reactivity, and is suitable for removing at least one organic chloride from hydrocarbon-containing streams containing hydrogen, hydrocarbon and chloride. The method mainly uses transition metal zinc ion exchange modified faujasite catalyst, and the preparation process is complex by kneading macropores and binders.
CN106554802a discloses a liquid-phase dechlorinating agent, which is prepared by adding active carbon into a strong oxidizing medium to perform oxidation modification to obtain modified active carbon, then carrying out loading treatment by using a mixed solution of soluble metal salt and other auxiliary agents, and finally drying and activating the loaded modified active carbon in protective atmosphere or vacuum to obtain a dechlorinating agent finished product. The dechlorinating agent is mainly used in a liquid phase, and the removal effect of organic chloride in the gas phase is to be improved.
