The invention belongs to the technical field of environmental catalytic materials, and particularly discloses a Ru-Zr / CePO4 catalyst for inhibiting polychlorinated by-products as well as a preparation method and application of the Ru-Zr / CePO4 catalyst. The catalyst comprises a CePO4 carrier and an
active component loaded on the surface of the CePO4 carrier; the
active component comprises a Zr species and a Ru species; the catalyst has a multi-phase interface structure, and comprises a Ru0 / CePO4 interface, a RuOx / CePOO interface, a ZrOx / CePO4 interface and a RuOx-ZrOx / CePO4 interface. An acid-
base pair of CePO4 and a ZrOx / CePO4 interface promote
dichloroethane adsorption dechlorination and rapid removal of HCl; the
electron-rich Ru species and the RuOx-ZrOx interface enhance
lattice oxygen migration and water activation, and the
vinyl chloride intermediate is subjected to rapid low-temperature oxidation
hydrolysis. Multi-interface cooperation blocks Cl2 circulation from the source and inhibits polychlorinated by-products. The T90 of the catalyst reaches 260 DEG C at 260 DEG C, the CO2 selectivity is close to a theoretical value, and the catalyst has excellent
water resistance,
chlorine poisoning resistance and long-term stability and is wide in application prospect.
