The invention claims a sliver-based bimetallic catalyst, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the catalyst takes mesoporous molecular sieves such as SBA-15, MCM-41 or MCM-48 and etc. and oxides such as
aluminium oxide,
silicon oxide and
cerium oxide and the like as carriers; the
active ingredient of the catalyst is sliver, the second ingredient is M which is any one of
transition metal selected from the group consisting of Cu, Co, Ce and Mn and etc. The synthetic method of the catalyst is characterized in that the operation is simple and easy, the synergistic effects of selected different transition metals selected to the sliver type are different, taking
copper as an example, when Ag: Cu is more than 1: 2 but not more than 2: 1, the catalyst presents an obvious synergistic effect between metals, and the
catalytic oxidation reactivity of volatile organic contaminant (VOC) is obviously improved. Simultaneously, the sliver-based bimetallic catalyst provided by the invention has the advantages that the price of
transition metal which is used is low by comparing with
platinum,
palladium and gold and etc., the resource of the
transition metal is rich, the catalyst is suitable for
mass production and industrial application and the application value and the application prospect are good.
