DEVELOPMENT OF PILOT-SCALE REACTOR FOR THE PRODUCTION OF
ALUMINIUM HYDROXIDE FROM ALUM DERIVED FROM KANKARA KAOLIN FOR ZEOLITE Y
SYNTHESIS
ABSTRACT
This work wasaimed at the design and fabrication of a pilot
scale reactor for the production of aluminium hydroxide from aluminium sulphate
obtained from Kankara kaolin for use in Zeolite Y synthesis. XRD, XRF and BET
analyses were carried out on the aluminium hydroxide first prepared at bench
scale and pilot scale. The aluminum hydroxide precipitated on a laboratory
bench scale at the pH value of 6 was found to be amorphous while that
precipitated at pH value of 7 was found to be a crystalline mix of boehmite and
bayerite.The BET surface area of aluminium hydroxide precipitated at the
laboratory bench scale was found to be 78.275m2/g for a pH value of 6 and
209.799m2/g for a pH value of 7. The effect of temperature on the amountof
aluminium hydroxide precipitated was found to be marginal.From the kinetic
studies of the precipitation reaction for aluminium hydroxide, the reaction was
found to bepseudo-first order with respect to aluminium sulphate. The
activation energy and pre-exponential factor of the precipitation reaction were
found to be 102kJ/mole and 1.15x1014/sec respectively.Zeolite Y was synthesized
using the aluminium hydroxide produced from Kankara kaolin on a laboratory
bench scale. A pilot scale semi-batch reactor was designed for the production
of aluminium hydroxide and a conversion of 99.98% of aluminium sulphate
reactant was obtained. A pilot scale semi-batch reactor with a capacity of
10.448kg per day for the production of aluminium hydroxide was fabricated and
test run, and produced good quality aluminium hydroxide with a BET surface area
of 97.73m2/g for the first run and 227.779m2/g for the second run. The product
from the pilot scale reactor was found to be a mixture of crystalline and
amorphous phases for the first run, and a purely crystallinemix of bayerite and
boehmite for the second run.
CHAPTER ONE
1.0 INTRODUCTION
The need for an increase in the lighter fractions obtained
during petroleum processing led to the cracking of the heavy oil fractions
gotten from distillation. There are two methods by which this is achieved which
are thermal cracking and catalytic cracking. Over the years catalytic cracking
has surmounted thermal cracking as the principal process adopted for the
cracking of heavier oil fractions. This is due to the effect of the catalyst in
catalytic cracking that lowers the activation energy of the chemical reactions,
thereby enabling the conversion of the heavy oil fractions at relatively low
temperatures of 500-6000C compared to 750-9000C obtained in thermal cracking.
Also, there is an improved yield and quality of product obtained by catalytic
cracking as compared with thermal cracking.
Catalytic cracking occurs in a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC)
unit in the presence of a catalyst. The catalyst is made up of zeolite
dispersed in a catalyst matrix, binders and fillers. The catalyst matrix is
primarily made up of active alumina. The relative percentages of these
components in catalyst formulation affect the performance of the catalyst.
These zeolites are incorporated in the matrix because alone they are expensive
and catalytically too active to be used in FCC units of practical dimensions
due to severe heat transfer requirements.
Alumina is widely used in a variety of industrial fields due
to its excellent physical and chemical properties. Aluminas are used in
catalysts and as support for catalysts due to their large surface area,
superior chemical activity and low cost.
