The activated alumina material with different grain size, shape, specific surface area and surface property is prepared according to different purposes, wherein the spherical alumina has the advantages of high rolling property, low bulk density, low abrasion and the like, and has wide application in fixed bed and fluidized bed processes.
At present, the preparation method of the spherical active alumina in industry mainly focuses on the rolling method [ spherical gamma-Al2O3Research on support preparation, Industrial catalysis, 2003, 9, 39-40]Oil (ammonia) column formation [ US 4279779; US 4108971; US4273735]Aqueous phase formation [ CN 104477953A; CN 102718241A; CN106745125B]The method of (1).
The rolling forming method has the advantages of large dust in the production process, high product abrasion and large particle size deviation. The oil (ammonia) column forming and the water phase forming mainly utilize sol to gel in the oil (ammonia) column or the water column to form spherical particles, and the forming operation is simple and the efficiency is high. However, the oil column and oil ammonia column methods require heat aging (the oil phase temperature is as high as 95 ℃ during the operation of the oil column forming method, the energy consumption is high), the aging time is long, and the oil removal treatment is required; the oil ammonia column method also has the problem of discharging irritant gas ammonia, which causes the problems of complex process, high energy consumption, environmental pollution and the like; the oil-ammonia column forming method has an oil-water interface, the surface layer of the sol solution is easy to peel off when the sol solution drops pass through the oil-water interface, an emulsion layer is easy to form at the interface to cause the floating of particles, and the like, and the ammonia is easy to volatilize to cause environmental pollution. The water column forming method mainly utilizes a large amount of free carboxylic acid in alginic acid to quickly form gel when encountering polyvalent metal ions (such as calcium, aluminum, zinc, barium, manganese and the like), and compared with an oil column method and an oil ammonia column method, the water column method has the advantages of simple process, low cost, low energy consumption and easy industrial production.

However, the pellets produced by this method are unstable in quality and are liable to crack.

Adopts sodium metaaluminate solution as raw material, the strong basicity of the sodium metaaluminate solution increases the operation difficulty, and introduces Na as impurity+Resulting in increased production costs.
CN102718241A discloses a method for preparing spherical alumina particles by alginic acid assisted molding (water column molding method). Pseudo-boehmite PB and ammonium alginate are mixed and then added into polyvalent metal ions (Ca) in a dropwise manner2+、Ba2+、Cu2+、Zn2+、Mn2+Etc.) to form gel beads in an aqueous solution. Placing the pellet inSolidifying in acetic acid solution with certain concentration for a period of time, drying and calcining to obtain gamma-Al with the particle size of 2.5-3mm2O3And (4) a small ball. The gamma-Al obtained by the method2O3The content of impurities in the pellet is high (7-10% of polyvalent metal ions), and the pore volume and crushing strength are greatly changed and are respectively 0.27-0.54cm3(iv)/g and 25-110N, uniformity of pore distribution and instability of sphericity in the pellets. In addition, the gel pellets need to be treated in an acetic acid solution with a certain concentration for a period of time, and the acetic acid treatment not only increases the difficulty of the production process and the production cost, but also causes environmental pollution.
The problems of easy cracking, unstable crushing strength, uncontrollable physicochemical properties (such as particle size, sphericity, pore volume, surface acidity and the like) and the like of the active alumina spheres prepared by the alginate-assisted gel method are mainly caused by the factors of poor slurry stability, non-uniform internal structure, rapid evaporation and decomposition of water or organic matters in the processes of gel sphere dehydration and organic matter removal.
