Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of selective catalytic reduction technology, specifically relating to a CeO2-CuNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 Preparation method of O4 composite catalyst and its application in stabilizing CO-SCR denitrification in an aerobic environment. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen oxides (NO) X NO is a major air pollutant emitted from industrial flue gas, vehicle exhaust, and other sources. It not only causes environmental problems such as acid rain and photochemical smog, but also poses serious harm to the human respiratory system. Therefore, NO... X Highly efficient removal of CO has become a key research direction in the environmental protection field. Selective catalytic reduction of NO (CO-SCR) technology can simultaneously oxidize CO and reduce NO (generating harmless N2 and CO2), and is suitable for applications containing CO and NO. X Complex flue gas scenarios with coexistence (such as coke oven gas from steel plants and exhaust gas from internal combustion engines) have become one of the most closely watched denitrification technologies in recent years. However, existing CO-SCR catalysts still face many technical bottlenecks in practical applications. Although noble metal catalysts with Pt, Pd, Rh, etc. as active components have high CO-SCR activity in the medium and low temperature range, precious metal resources are scarce and expensive. Furthermore, they are prone to particle sintering at high temperatures, leading to the loss of active sites. At the same time, they have weak resistance to interference from impurity gases (such as SO2 and H2O), making it difficult to promote their large-scale application. Catalysts with single transition metal oxides such as MnO2, CuO, and NiO as active components are cheaper, but they suffer from a small number of active sites and insufficient surface oxygen vacancy concentration. In the low temperature range (usually <300℃), it is difficult to effectively adsorb and activate NO and CO, resulting in low denitrification efficiency. In the high temperature range (usually >600℃), the catalytic activity is easily reduced due to crystal structure collapse or metal ion migration and aggregation, making them unsuitable for scenarios with wide temperature fluctuations in industrial flue gas. Spinel-structured (AB2O4) transition metal oxides (such as NiMn2O4 and CuMn2O4) have been attempted for CO-SCR reactions due to their good structural stability. However, single spinel catalysts suffer from poor metal component dispersion and insufficient exposure of active sites. Furthermore, in an aerobic atmosphere, O2 easily competes with NO and CO for adsorption active sites, leading to a decrease in NO reduction efficiency. At the same time, they lack the ability to store and release oxygen to assist the reaction cycle, making it difficult to maintain long-term stable catalytic performance. Summary of the Invention
[0003] To address the above problems, this invention provides a CeO2-CuNi 0.5 Mn 1.5Preparation method of O4 composite catalyst and its application in CO-SCR (CO-Selective Catalytic Reduction) denitrification in an aerobic environment.

[0014] Furthermore, in the above preparation method, in step 4), the calcination process is carried out in a muffle furnace at a temperature of 900 °C for 240 min, with a heating rate of 5 °C / min.
[0015] CeO2-CuNi prepared by any of the above methods 0.5 Mn 1.5Application of O4 composite catalyst in stabilizing CO-SCR denitrification in an aerobic environment.
[0016] Furthermore, the above application is carried out using the following method: CeO2-CuNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 The O4 composite catalyst was placed in a quartz glass boat, with powdered alumina at the bottom and CeO2-CuNi on top. 0.5 Mn 1.5 The O4 composite catalyst places a quartz glass boat in the central heating zone of a fixed-bed reactor.

[0020] 1. The sol-gel method used in this invention forms stable chelates with Ce, Cu, Ni, and Mn metal ions using citric acid. The spatial confinement effect of the gel network achieves atomic-level uniform dispersion of the four metal components, effectively inhibiting the aggregation of active metals. This uniform dispersion characteristic significantly increases the Cu content on the catalyst surface. 2+ / Cu + Ni 2+ Mn 3+ / Mn 4+ The number of active sites also induces more cooperative oxygen vacancies in the CeO2 fluorite and spinel phases through lattice interactions between metal ions.
[0021] 2. This invention uses transition metals as active components, and the method is simple, low-cost, and conducive to large-scale production. Furthermore, CeO2 and CuNi... 0.5 Mn 1.5 The dual-phase synergistic effect formed by the O4 spinel phase helps Cu and Mn active sites maintain their active valence state by leveraging Ce's oxygen storage capacity, while Ni enhances the low-temperature adsorption capacity of NO. The multi-metal synergistic effect significantly improves the low-temperature activity of the catalyst.

From Figure 1 As can be seen from this, CeO2-CuNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 O4 composite catalyst was successfully prepared.
[0031] Example 3
[0032] The catalyst activity was evaluated in an atmospheric pressure fixed-bed reactor, which mainly consisted of a gas supply section, a gas mixing section, a fixed-bed reactor, and an analyzer. The quartz tube used in the reaction was 120 cm long and 11 mm in inner diameter, and a horizontal tube furnace was employed for programmed temperature rise. CeO2-CuNi 0.5 Mn 1.5 The O4 composite catalyst was placed in a quartz glass boat (50 mm long, 10 mm wide, and 5 mm high), with powdered alumina at the bottom and 0.3 g of CeO2-CuNi on top. 0.5 Mn 1.5 An O4 composite catalyst was used, with a quartz glass boat placed in the central heating zone of a fixed-bed reactor. A tubular furnace provided the required temperature for the denitrification reaction via programmed temperature control, with a heating rate set at 5 °C / min. The simulated flue gas composition was NO (7.5 mL / min, 4008 ppm nitrogen mixture), CO (50-75 mL / min, 5% argon mixture), and a mixture of N2 (150-170 mL / min) as the balance gas and air (15 mL / min). The inlet and outlet concentrations of NO were quantitatively analyzed online using a Thermo Model 42i nitrogen oxide analyzer. The reactor was heated from room temperature to 800 °C at a rate of 5 °C / min using programmed temperature control. The performance of the denitrification catalyst was measured by the NO conversion rate (Q) flowing through the bed. NO The measurement is based on the formula:
[0033]
[0034] In the formula: [ NO ] in For the inlet concentration of NO, [ NO ] out This represents the outlet concentration of NO. Both are recorded after the NO concentration reaches a stable value.

It can be seen that when the CO gas flow rate is 50 mL / min, the NO conversion rate reaches 99.9% at 640 ℃; when the CO gas flow rate is 75 mL / min, the NO conversion rate reaches 99.9% at 580 ℃.
