Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of activated carbon preparation, and particularly relates to activated carbon, a preparation method and application thereof, and mercury-removing activated carbon, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
China is the largest coal production and consumption country in the world, and in the future, the energy structure of China is still mainly based on coal. At present, the thermal power generating unit of the fire coal accounts for more than 70% of the capacity of the general assembly machine in China, the proportion is still more than 50% in 2050, the fire coal power generation provides the firmest power guarantee for the economic and social development of China and the life of people, but simultaneously, a large amount of pollutants such as smoke dust, sulfur dioxide, nitrogen oxides, carbon dioxide, heavy metals and the like are discharged, and the pollutants cause a series of ecological environment and human health problems. With the progress of pollution control technology, main pollutants of coal-fired power plants are smoke dust and SO 2 And NO x Etc. have been well controlled, while heavy metal contaminants such as mercury have not been treated effectively.
Mercury has high toxicity, nondegradability and bioaccumulation, and can produce long-term harm to ecological environment and crowd health, and governments around the world are very important in mercury pollution control. The mercury emission concentration of the non-low-rank coal and the low-rank coal for the combustion of the active service unit is 1.8 mu g/m and 16.5 mu g/m respectively 3 The mercury emission concentration of the non-low-rank coal and the low-rank coal for the combustion of the newly-built service unit is 0.028 and 5.528 mu g/m respectively 3
Mercury exists in the flue gas of power plants mainly in three forms: particulate mercury (Hg) p ) Elemental mercury (Hg) 0 ) And combined mercury (Hg) 2+ And Hg of + ). The granular mercury can be effectively captured by the dust removal system; combined mercury (Hg) 2+ And Hg of + ) Due to the characteristic of water solubility, the water can be effectively removed by a desulfurization system; but due to elemental mercury (Hg) 0 ) Easy to existThe characteristics of volatilization (higher saturated vapor pressure), poor water solubility, stable chemical property and the like are difficult to be effectively trapped by the current pollution control equipment, and how to remove elemental mercury becomes the key point and the difficulty of mercury control of coal-fired flue gas.
The pore structure, specific surface area and surface property of the activated carbon have great influence on the mercury removal performance of the activated carbon, and the mercury has high volatility and weak binding property on the surface of the carbon, so that the mercury removal capacity of the common activated carbon is weak. At present, the activated carbon is often modified by a chemical method, which can improve the mercury adsorption capacity of the activated carbon, and mainly comprises the following steps: heavy metal modification (gold loading and silver loading), sulfuration modification (sulfuration), halogenation modification (chlorine permeation, iodine permeation and bromine permeation), catalytic oxidation modification and the like are carried out to improve the mercury removal capability of the activated carbon.
At present, the activated carbon injection technology is considered as the most potential mercury emission control method, and the activated carbon injection adsorption method is to inject activated carbon before a particle catcher (an electric dust collector or a bag-type dust collector), so that part of mercury in the flue gas is adsorbed by the injected activated carbon and then is trapped by the dust catcher. The method has the advantages that the smoke discharge amount of the coal-fired power plant is large, the mercury concentration in the smoke is low, the retention time of the activated carbon is short, the consumption of the activated carbon is excessive, and meanwhile, the carbon content in the fly ash is increased due to the fact that a large amount of activated carbon is sprayed, the quality of the fly ash is reduced, the follow-up utilization of the fly ash is affected, and the application of the technology is limited. Therefore, the key of the coal-fired flue gas injection mercury removal technology is to develop the mercury removal activated carbon with high efficiency.

The method utilizes inorganic salts in the coal liquefaction residues, effectively improves the mechanical compressive strength of the honeycomb activated carbon on the premise of not affecting the specific surface area of the product, overcomes the characteristic of non-cohesiveness or weak cohesiveness of the semi-coke powder, effectively utilizes the advantages of low ash content and high carbon content, reduces the cost of the activated carbon raw materials, and improves the overall benefit of the coal liquefaction process.
CN102153081a discloses a method for preparing activated carbon by directly liquefying residue from coal, which comprises mixing liquefied residue powder with KNO 3 Mixing KOH and absolute ethyl alcohol, drying, pre-oxidizing, carbonizing and activating to obtain coarse active carbon, and then pickling and deashing to obtain the finished active carbon.
CN105712347a discloses a method for preparing sulfur-rich activated carbon from high sulfur petroleum coke. Mixing potassium hydroxide and high-sulfur petroleum coke according to a proportion, and uniformly stirring; calcining and activating the mixture, collecting hydrogen sulfide gas generated in the calcining and activating process, cooling, washing with water, drying to obtain powdery active carbon, reacting the hydrogen sulfide gas generated in the activating process with sulfur dioxide gas generated by directly burning high-sulfur petroleum coke to generate elemental sulfur, dipping active carbon particles in dipping solution prepared by the elemental sulfur, and drying to obtain the sulfur-enriched active carbon.
The method disclosed in CN105712347a has the main drawbacks: 1. the potassium hydroxide and the high-sulfur petroleum coke are mixed according to the proportion, and in the process of calcining and activating the activated carbon, the alkali metal hydroxide plays a role in desulfurizing the petroleum coke, so that the sulfur content of the petroleum coke is greatly reduced; 2. in the flue gas mercury removal process, a large amount of activated carbon is sprayed to raise the carbon content in the fly ash, so that the quality of the fly ash is reduced, and the subsequent utilization of the fly ash is affected.
The coal liquefaction residue is an inevitable byproduct in the direct coal liquefaction process, is a high-carbon, high-sulfur and high-ash substance, and mainly comprises unconverted coal organisms, inorganic minerals and an additional liquefaction catalyst in the liquefied raw material coal, wherein the mass of the coal liquefaction residue accounts for 20-40% of the direct coal liquefaction product. Because the coal liquefaction residues are rich in heavy carbon and high molecular aromatic structures, the coal liquefaction residues are easy to polymerize or crosslink, so that the coal liquefaction residues can be used as precursor materials of high-performance carbon materials.
At present, research on producing activated carbon by using liquefied residues as raw materials is concentrated on a chemical method, and alkali metal hydroxide (KOH) is often used as an active agent, and the process mainly comprises the steps of preparing the activated carbon with high specific surface area, wherein although a mixture of the alkali metal hydroxide and the liquefied residues is heated in an inert atmosphere to enrich pore structures of the liquefied residues, the alkali metal hydroxide plays a role in desulfurizing the liquefied residues at the same time, so that the sulfur content in the activated carbon is reduced, and the method also has the defects of long process route, high cost, serious corrosion to equipment and the like.
