Activation characteristics and application range of coal-based activated carbon

The composition of coal ash is relatively complex. It is a product of the conversion of inorganic matter in coal. Its content is related to the original coal-forming plants and coal-forming environment. There is also a small amount of alkali metal K2O, Na2O, etc. in the coal ash. The melting temperature of each component in the coal ash is different, and the melting temperature of the coal ash cannot be measured by a single mineral temperature. Coal ash is actually a composite of various mineral components, which are in the form of silicates and aluminosilicate pots. The composition of the coal ash is complex and, therefore, there is no exact melting temperature. The melting characteristics of the coal ash can only be represented by temperature characteristics.

The ash fusibility of coal is an important coal quality parameter for boiler combustion and activation of coal-based activated carbon. The ash melting point of coal is too low, and it tends to be crusted on the furnace, which affects the normal combustion. If coal-based activated carbon is produced from coal with low ash melting point, in the activation process, the carbonized material is easy to climb on the cremation ballast, and the tumor is affected, which affects the quality of the activated carbon and the life of the activation furnace.

The burning point of coal affects the quality of coal-based activated carbon

The action of coal and oxygen raises the temperature of the coal body. When the temperature reaches a certain level, the coal begins to ignite and burn. This temperature is called the ignition point of coal. However, the coal ignition point measured by the laboratory is only a relative value. It is a mixture of NaNO2 and coal samples in a certain proportion. It is heated at a specified heating rate in a burning point test device to deflagrate it. The detonation temperature is the ignition point of coal. . Obviously, the ignition point measured by this method is lower than the ignition point of the actual coal. The burning point of coal is greatly affected by the type of coal, such as the burning point of peat (225~280 °C), lignite (250~450 °C), anthracite (440-500 °C), and the burning point of coke is higher (700~750 °C). Different coals have different ignition points. High moisture and high oxygen content

Coal with high volatile content and coal with high pyrite content have low ignition points and are easy to spontaneously ignite. Temperature, coal rock composition, and coal particle size are also factors that affect the ignition point of coal. In the production of activated carbon, the carbonized material prepared by coal with high ignition point is not easily oxidized in carbonization. In the activation furnace, the temperature is easily controlled, which is beneficial to the quality of the activated carbon.

Activated carbon for chemical activation and physical activation

Activated carbon is a traditional and modern material. With the continuous development of human society, activated carbon has been widely used in many fields such as food, medicine, chemical industry and environmental protection; the number of applications is also increasing. In recent years, the global pair

The amount of activated carbon used has increased year by year. China's activated carbon production has been ranked in the forefront of the world, but the performance of activated carbon produced in China is generally good, and the performance of activated carbon is mainly dependent on imports.

The raw materials for preparing activated carbon are very rich, such as coal, nut shell, rice husk, petroleum coke, resin, asphalt, used tires and the like. Among them, the shell-shell raw materials have a wide range of sources, low cost, and have a high-quality natural structure, which is conducive to the formation of a developed microporous structure, which has received more and more attention. The preparation methods of activated carbon are mainly divided into two categories: chemical activation method and physical activation method. Chemical activation is a series of cross-linking or polycondensation reactions with carbon materials through chemical reagents such as KOH, Zncl2, etc., to create rich micropores; physical activation is the use of air, carbon dioxide, water vapor and other oxidizing gases at high temperatures and carbon The carbon atoms react in the material. Chemical activation has the advantages of short activation time and low activation temperature. However, the use of a large number of chemical reagents increases the preparation cost, and has a strong corrosive effect on the equipment at a high temperature, and requires a large amount of water in the washing process, and these wastewaters can meet the environmental discharge requirements after a complicated treatment process. For this reason, at present, most of the industry uses steam activation to prepare activated carbon.

The advantage of activation physics is that the process is simple, clean, and does not require washing after activation. The steam activation speed is fast, but it is difficult to obtain high specific surface area activated carbon; activated carbon dioxide can be used to obtain high specific surface area activated carbon, but its activation temperature is high and the speed is slow, so the energy consumption is high, and the activation time usually takes ten hours. Even hundreds of hours. The addition of a suitable catalyst can effectively shorten the activation time, but it is still difficult to meet the industrial production needs.

In short, both chemical and physical activation have their own advantages and disadvantages. On the basis of keeping the preparation process simple and clean, how to further reduce the preparation cost becomes the focus of future research.

The role of activated carbon fiber (ACF) in water purification and wastewater treatment, summarized ACF in removing organic pollutants in water, purifying contaminated groundwater, removing heavy metals, killing bacteria, and processing pharmaceutical wastewater, phenolic wastewater, dye grey water Research status of black liquor, organic wastewater and high-value heavy metal ion wastewater. The four key research directions of ACF in water treatment applications are pointed out.

Activated carbon fiber (ACF) is the third generation of activated carbon after powdered activated carbon (PAC) and granular activated carbon (GAC). It is a new carbon material developed with the carbon fiber industry. In the early 1960s, activated carbon fibers were developed on the basis of carbon fiber research. In the 1970s, the industrial production of activated carbon fibers began. ACF is made by carbonizing and activating organic fiber raw materials. According to the precursors in production, ACF is mainly divided into viscose-based ACF, phenolic-based ACF, and polypropylene-based ACF (PAN-ACF). Asphalt-based ACF (pitch-ACF) and the like.

Compared with carbon materials such as PAC and GAC, CF has a narrow and uniform pore size distribution, and the micropore volume accounts for about 90% of the total pore volume. The pore size of the pores is mostly about 1 nm, and there are no macropores and transition pores. ACF also has a certain amount of surface functional groups, which has a large adsorption capacity and a fast adsorption rate for organic substances and heavy metal ions in an aqueous solution, and is easy to regenerate. The use of ACF to treat raw water or wastewater can greatly reduce the volume of the treatment device and improve the treatment efficiency. For pollutants with recycling value, they can be enriched by ACF, recycled and recycled. It is especially important that ACF maintains a high adsorption capacity for low-concentration adsorbates, even for trace-scale adsorbates, while GAC tends to have a much lower adsorption capacity at low concentrations [l]. ACF can also be processed into fiber bundles, felt, cloth, paper, and other forms as needed to facilitate engineering applications and process simplification. Therefore, it has a wide range of applications in water treatment.
