Abstract

A method for preparing a solid amine adsorbent of CO 2 includes introducing a gas mixture containing 10 vol. % to 50 vol. % of CO 2 is introduced into a sodium aluminate solution having a concentration in a range of 10 g/L to 100 g/L at room temperature to obtain a reaction solution. This occurs continuously until a pH value of the reaction solution is lowered to 9.5 to 9.8 to obtain a product solution containing a precipitate. The precipitate is filtered and washed. The filtered and washed precipitate is mixed with an organic alcohol at a mass ratio of 1:5 to 1:30 to obtain a suspension. The suspension is heated to an azeotropic point of water and the organic alcohol, and evaporated, boiled, and refluxed to obtain pore-enlarged pseudo boehmite. This is calcined to obtain aluminum oxide powder. The aluminum oxide powder is impregnated in an organic amine solution and dried.

Claims (17)

1 . A method for preparing a solid amine adsorbent of CO 2 , comprising,

continuously introducing a gas mixture containing 10 vol. % to 20 vol. % of CO 2 into a reactor still containing a sodium aluminate solution having a concentration in a range of 10 g/L to 100 g/L at room temperature to obtain a reaction solution, until a pH value of the reaction solution is lowered to 9.5 to 9.8 to obtain a product solution containing a precipitate, with a flow rate of the gas mixture being 600 mL/min to 1000 mL/min of CO 2 per liter of the sodium aluminate solution;

filtering out the precipitate in the product solution, and washing the precipitate;

mixing the filtered and washed precipitate with an organic alcohol at a mass ratio of 1:5 to 1:30 to obtain a suspension;

heating the suspension to an azeotropic point of water and the organic alcohol, evaporating for 10 min to 60 min, then heating the suspension to a boiling point of the organic alcohol and refluxing for 30 min to 90 min to obtain a pore-enlarged pseudo boehmite;

calcining the pore-enlarged pseudo boehmite to obtain an aluminum oxide powder; and

impregnating the aluminum oxide powder in an organic amine solution, and drying to obtain the solid amine adsorbent of CO 2 .

2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the organic alcohol comprises one or more selected from the group consisting of ethanol, n-propanol, isopropanol, n-butanol, isobutanol, and 2-butanol.

3 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the calcining the pore-enlarged pseudo boehmite to obtain the aluminum oxide powder comprises:

calcining the pore-enlarged pseudo boehmite at a temperature between 400° C. and 600° C. for 2 hours to 8 hours to obtain the aluminum oxide powder.

4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein after the step of calcining, further comprising a step of grinding the aluminum oxide powder to obtain a nanometer aluminum oxide powder.

5 . The method according to claim 4 , wherein the impregnating the aluminum oxide powder in the organic amine solution, and drying to obtain the solid amine adsorbent of CO 2 comprises:

dispersing the nanometer aluminum oxide powder in the organic amine solution to obtain a dispersion liquid; and

removing a solvent in the dispersion liquid to obtain the solid amine adsorbent of CO 2 .

6 . The method according to claim 5 , wherein the removing the solvent in the dispersion liquid comprises: evaporating the solvent at room temperature to obtain a residue, and drying the residue in a vacuum drying oven at a temperature between 60° C. and 80° C. for 3 hours to 6 hours.

7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the organic amine solution comprises an organic amine and a solvent, wherein the organic amine is one or more selected from the group consisting of polyethyleneimine, diethylenetriamine, tetraethylenepentamine, and pentaethylenehexamine, and the solvent is one or more selected from the group consisting of methanol, ethanol, acetone, and butyl acetate.

8 . The method according to claim 7 , wherein a mass ratio of the organic amine to the solvent in the organic amine solution is in a range of 1:10 to 1:100.
