The invention relates to a preparation method for
coal-based
activated carbon for
recovery of an
organic solvent. The preparation method is characterized in that kneading, forming,
carbonization,pre-activation and activation are performed on pulverized
coal,
coal tar, water and catalyst to obtain columnar
activated carbon, wherein the adding amounts of the
coal tar, the water and the catalyst are respectively 35-40 percent, 2-4 percent and 2-3 percent of the weight of the pulverized coal, and the catalyst is the
hydroxide aqueous solution with the
mass concentration of 13-17 percent. According to the invention, the
hydroxide catalyst is added into the kneading process to achieve the purposes of splitting functional groups, expanding
activated carbon pores, improving the absorption performance and neutralizing inorganic acidic compounds in the pulverized coal; then activation is performed twice to completely remove
tar substances and split products accumulated in the pore structure in the
carbonization process, some closed pores are opened, and under the action of the catalyst, the functional groups are further decomposed, pores are formed, and pore volume and specific surface area of the activated carbon are improved. According to the activated carbon prepared with the method, the adsorption rate of
carbon tetrachloride is not less than 80 percent, the adsorption rate of
iodine is not less than 1,050 mg / g, the
bulk density is 400-450 g / l, and the
mechanical strength is not less than 91 percent.
