The invention relates to a preparation method of a spherical
silicon-aluminum composite carrier. The preparation method is characterized by comprising the following steps: adding
silicon dioxide to an
alumina gel, and uniformly mixing; slowly adding to an alginate solution, and uniformly stirring to prepare suspension
slurry; dropping the suspension
slurry into a multivalent
metal cation solution to form a spherical composite gel granule; taking out the spherical composite gel granule, and
drying and calcining to obtain the spherical
silicon-aluminum composite carrier, wherein the
alumina gel is an
alumina hydrogel or a nano-alumina
sol, the addition amount of the
silicon dioxide is 0.1-0.3 time more than the weight of the
alumina gel in terms of Al2O3, the suspension
slurry contains 5%-25% by weight of solids and 0.3%-5% by weight of alginate, the soluble alginate is one or more of
sodium alginate,
potassium alginate,
magnesium alginate and
ammonium alginate, and the multivalent
metal cation solution is an aluminum,
zinc,
calcium,
copper, iron,
ferrous iron,
cobalt,
manganese or
nickel ion salt solution with the saturation concentration of 0.1 mol / L. The spherical silicon-aluminum composite carrier obtained through the preparation method disclosed by the invention has the advantages of high strength,
large pore volume and low
bulk density.
