[0025] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the present application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present application, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0026] For engine exhaust emissions from LNG-fueled engines, such as those in marine transportation vehicles, the following points are relevant. Marine engines typically employ a lean-burn strategy, resulting in a high concentration of O2 in the exhaust gases. This means the exhaust gases can be considered oxygen-rich. Under oxygen-rich conditions, three-way catalytic converters cannot be used to simultaneously process CH4 and NO. XGenerally, a combined SCR and MOC (Modular Oxidation) approach is adopted. However, this approach requires the installation of both an SCR system and an MOC system within the engine exhaust aftertreatment system, meaning two systems are needed. This makes the engine exhaust aftertreatment system more complex and costly. Furthermore, MOC uses a large amount of precious metal catalysts such as platinum, palladium, and rhodium, and the high amount of catalyst used significantly increases catalyst costs, resulting in higher economic costs.

[0027] Therefore, this application provides an engine exhaust gas treatment method and apparatus, which provides a method for co-treating CH4 and NO using an exhaust gas treatment system. X This method simplifies the engine exhaust treatment system and reduces exhaust treatment costs.

[0028] The engine exhaust gas treatment method provided in this application can be implemented using computer equipment, which can be a terminal device or a server. The server can be a standalone physical server, a server cluster or distributed system composed of multiple physical servers, or a cloud server providing cloud computing services. Terminal devices include, but are not limited to, mobile phones, computers, intelligent voice interaction devices, smart home appliances, and vehicle terminals. Terminal devices and servers can be directly or indirectly connected via wired or wireless communication, and this application does not impose any limitations in this regard.

[0029] The following examples illustrate this in detail:

[0030] Figure 1 A flowchart of an engine exhaust gas treatment method provided in this application embodiment is used as an example to illustrate the method, which includes S101-S105:

[0031] S101: Obtain the target catalyst.

[0032] In engine exhaust gas treatment, a target catalyst can be obtained first, facilitating its use in treating engine exhaust gases. The active components of the target catalyst include cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), and indium (In). This target catalyst is designed to enable the co-treatment of CH4 and NO using a single exhaust gas treatment system. X The specific catalyst prepared, as well as the preparation method and process of the target catalyst, will be described in detail in the following examples.

[0033] S102: Place the target catalyst in the co-catalytic reactor.

[0034] S103: Contains methane (CH4) and nitrogen oxides (NO). X The engine exhaust gas is fed into a co-catalytic reactor for exhaust gas treatment.

[0035] In practical applications, a co-catalytic reactor can be installed in the engine exhaust gas treatment system to co-treat CH4 and NO. X This is a complete exhaust gas treatment system. In practical implementation, the target catalyst can be placed in a co-catalytic reactor, thereby treating exhaust gases containing methane (CH4) and nitrogen oxides (NOx). X The engine exhaust gas is fed into a co-catalytic reactor for exhaust gas treatment.

[0036] Understandably, in practical applications, the target catalyst can be placed in the co-catalytic reactor before the engine starts, for example, before the ship begins its voyage. Based on this, after the ship begins its voyage, i.e., after the engine starts, the exhaust gas emitted with the engine can enter the co-catalytic reactor through pipelines for exhaust gas treatment, achieving harmless treatment of the exhaust gas.

[0037] S104: In the exhaust gas treatment process, based on the action of the target catalyst, CH4 is converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), while NO is converted into CO2. X It is converted into nitrogen gas (N2).

[0038] S105: Co-catalytic reactor for discharging engine exhaust gas after exhaust gas treatment.

[0039] In the exhaust gas treatment process, based on the action of the target catalyst, CH4 can be converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), while NO can be converted into CO2. X It is converted into nitrogen (N2), thus realizing the synergistic treatment of CH4 and NO by utilizing a co-catalytic reactor as part of the exhaust gas treatment system. X The goal is to simultaneously remove CH4 and NO. X The material transformation equations in the exhaust gas treatment process can be found in the following equation:

[0040]

[0041] In other words, after exhaust gas treatment, both CH4 and NO are removed. X In other words, engine exhaust that has undergone exhaust gas treatment can be considered to meet exhaust emission standards. Specifically, NO in engine exhaust... X Emissions meet IMO Tier III standards, and CH4 emissions meet the second-stage standards of the "Emission Limits and Measurement Methods for Exhaust Pollutants from Marine Engines (China Phase I and II)". Finally, the treated engine exhaust gas can be discharged into the co-catalytic reactor, thus completing the exhaust gas treatment process. This application can utilize only one exhaust gas treatment system, simultaneously co-treating CH4 and NO. XIn this process, CH4 in the exhaust gas is used as a reducing agent to reduce NO. X It is reduced to N2, while CH4 is converted into CO2 and H2O. Compared with the SCR combined with MOC method in related technologies, it does not require an additional reducing agent injection system. Moreover, this application only uses one exhaust gas treatment system, which can simplify the engine exhaust gas treatment system and significantly reduce the cost of LNG engine exhaust gas after-treatment system.

[0042] In the embodiments described above, the target catalyst serves as a synergistic catalyst for the treatment of CH4 and NO. X Specific catalysts are particularly important for exhaust gas treatment. To better understand this, the preparation method and process of the target catalyst will be described in detail below:

[0043] The active components of the target catalyst include cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), and indium (In), meaning it can be considered a composite catalyst containing multiple active components. In practical applications, the preparation of the target catalyst can be divided into three parts: the first part is the preparation of a first catalyst, whose active components include Cr and In; the second part is the preparation of a second catalyst, whose active component includes Co; and the third part is the preparation of the target catalyst using the first and second catalysts. In practical applications, molecular sieves can be used as supports for preparing the first and second catalysts. In the embodiments of this application, the molecular sieve support used is H-SSZ-13.

[0044] In practical implementation, the molecular sieve support H-SSZ-13 can be obtained first. Then, the first catalyst Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 can be prepared by impregnation with soluble chromium salt, soluble indium salt, and H-SSZ-13. The second catalyst Co / H-SSZ-13 can be prepared by impregnation with soluble cobalt salt and H-SSZ-13. Finally, the target catalyst Co-Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 can be prepared by physical blending equal masses of Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 powder and Co / H-SSZ-13 powder.

[0045] In practical applications, the structure of the molecular sieve support H-SSZ-13 affects its hydrothermal stability and acidity, which in turn affects the catalyst activity. For example, the ratio of silicon to aluminum atoms in H-SSZ-13 has a significant impact on its hydrothermal stability and acidity. For different catalysts, there is an optimal ratio of silicon to aluminum atoms to ensure catalyst activity; it is neither better to be too high nor too low. For the catalyst prepared in this application, experimental verification shows that the optimal value is Si / Al = 10, that is, the ratio of silicon to aluminum atoms in the molecular sieve support H-SSZ-13 is 10.

[0046] Furthermore, the mass percentage of each component in the catalyst can also affect catalyst preparation and catalyst activity. In the embodiments of this application, H-SSZ-13 with Si / Al = 10 is used for catalyst preparation. The specific mass percentages of each component that ensure catalyst preparation and activity are as follows: In Cr-In / H-SSZ-13, the mass percentage of Cr is 1%–4%, the mass percentage of In is 1%–4%, and the mass percentage of H-SSZ-13 is 92%–98%; in Co / H-SSZ-13, the mass percentage of Co is 5%–10%, and the mass percentage of H-SSZ-13 is 90%–95%.

[0047] In the above embodiments, in order to prepare the target catalyst Co-Cr-In / H-SSZ-13, it is necessary to first prepare the first catalyst Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 and the second catalyst Co / H-SSZ-13. The preparation processes of the first catalyst Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 and the second catalyst Co / H-SSZ-13 will be described in detail below.

[0048] (1) The preparation process of the first catalyst Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 is described, specifically including the following steps:

[0049] First, chromium nitrate hydrate (Cr(NO3)3·9H2O), indium nitrate (In(NO3)3), H-SSZ-13, and deionized water (H2O) are added to a preparation container according to a predetermined first mass ratio to obtain a first mixture. The first mass ratio includes a 10% mass ratio of H2O to H-SSZ-13, a 0.01–0.04 mass ratio of In to H-SSZ-13, and a 0.01–0.04 mass ratio of Cr to H-SSZ-13. The preparation container can be a cleaned glass beaker.

[0050] Next, the temperature of the first mixture can be controlled at 25-30°C using a magnetic stirrer, and stirred for 24-48 hours at a speed of 400-500 rpm to allow Cr(NO3)3, In(NO3)3 and H-SSZ-13 to undergo ion exchange, thereby obtaining the first uniform mixed slurry.

[0051] Then, the temperature of the first homogeneous slurry can be controlled at 70-90°C using a magnetic stirrer, and the first homogeneous slurry can be evaporated at a speed of 400-500 rpm, so that the Cr(NO3)3 and (In(NO3)3) in the first homogeneous slurry that have not undergone ion exchange can be loaded onto H-SSZ-13 to obtain the first catalyst to be determined.

[0052] Then, the first undetermined catalyst can be placed in an oven, the temperature of which is controlled at 100-120°C, and dried for 8-16 hours to obtain the dried first undetermined catalyst.

[0053] Finally, the dried first catalyst to be determined can be placed in a heating furnace, the temperature of the heating furnace is controlled at 500℃, and calcined for 2 to 4 hours to obtain the first catalyst Cr-In / H-SSZ-13.

[0054] Based on this, the first catalyst Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 was prepared through impregnation, loading, drying and calcination.

[0055] (2) The preparation process of the second catalyst Co / H-SSZ-13 is described, specifically including the following steps:

[0056] First, cobalt acetate, H-SSZ-13, and deionized water (H2O) can be added to a preparation container according to a set second mass ratio to obtain a second mixture. The second mass ratio includes a mass ratio of H2O to H-SSZ-13 of 10 and a mass ratio of Co to H-SSZ-13 of 0.05 to 0.10. The preparation container can be a cleaned glass beaker.

[0057] Next, the temperature of the second mixture can be controlled at 25-30°C using a magnetic stirrer, and stirred at 400-500 rpm for 24-48 hours to allow cobalt acetate to undergo ion exchange with H-SSZ-13, thereby obtaining a second uniform mixed slurry.

[0058] Then, the temperature of the second homogeneous slurry can be controlled at 70-90°C using a magnetic stirrer, and the second homogeneous slurry can be evaporated at a speed of 400-500 rpm, so that the cobalt acetate in the second homogeneous slurry that has not undergone ion exchange is loaded onto H-SSZ-13 to obtain the second undetermined catalyst.

[0059] Then, the second undetermined catalyst can be placed in an oven, the temperature of which is controlled at 100-120°C, and dried for 12 hours to obtain the dried second undetermined catalyst.

[0060] Finally, the dried second catalyst can be placed in a heating furnace, the temperature of which is controlled at 500℃, and calcined for 2-4 hours to obtain the second catalyst Co / H-SSZ-13.

[0061] Based on this, the second catalyst Co / H-SSZ-13 was prepared through impregnation, loading, drying and calcination.

[0062] (3) The preparation of the target catalyst is described in detail below:

[0063] After preparing Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 and Co / H-SSZ-13, the target catalyst Co-Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 can be prepared by physical blending using the same mass of Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 powder and Co / H-SSZ-13 powder. Based on this, Co-Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 is prepared.

[0064] In practical applications, more uniform target catalyst particles are more advantageous for installation in synergistic catalytic reactors and for tail gas treatment. To achieve more uniform particles, one possible approach is to first prepare the target catalyst by physically blending equal masses of Cr-In / H-SSZ-13 and Co / H-SSZ-13 powders. Then, the target catalyst is pressed into tablets to obtain target catalyst particles. This process converts the powdered target catalyst into granules. Finally, particles meeting a particle diameter threshold are selected as the target catalyst. The particle diameter threshold is used to select target catalyst particles with the required diameter and is typically set based on experimental experience. In practical applications, sieving can be used. Specifically, the target catalyst particles are sieved through a sieve with a mesh size meeting the particle diameter threshold, thus sieving the particles below the threshold to the bottom of the sieve. For example, experimental experience shows that a 40-60 mesh sieve can screen out catalyst particles that meet the requirements. Therefore, the particle diameter threshold can be set to the mesh diameter corresponding to 40-60 mesh. Based on this, the obtained target catalyst particles are more uniform, which facilitates installation in the co-catalytic reactor. At the same time, the gaps between the particles ensure smooth flow of exhaust gas, which is beneficial to improving the exhaust gas treatment effect.

[0065] After obtaining the target catalyst, its effectiveness can be experimentally verified in the laboratory to ensure good exhaust gas treatment performance when applied to engine exhaust. In practical applications, the co-catalytic reactor can include an atmospheric pressure fixed bed. Accordingly, 2.5g of the target catalyst can be placed in the atmospheric pressure fixed bed, and the engine exhaust gas can be a mixture of CH4 (1800ppm), nitric oxide (NO) (600ppm), oxygen (O2) (6%), H2O (10%), and a fixed amount of nitrogen (N2), with N2 serving as the balance gas. The engine exhaust gas can then be introduced into the co-catalytic reactor, with the reaction volume space velocity controlled at 10,000–40,000 h⁻¹. -1 Furthermore, the temperature of the co-catalytic reactor was controlled to rise to 300–530°C for exhaust gas treatment. Based on this, in a laboratory setting, the above-mentioned concentrations of various gases were mixed to simulate engine exhaust gas, and the effectiveness of the target catalyst was verified under corresponding operating parameters (such as the aforementioned reaction volume space velocity and temperature).

[0066] It is understandable that changes in the concentrations of NO and CH4 can reflect the effectiveness of the target catalyst; therefore, the effectiveness of the target catalyst can be evaluated using changes in the concentrations of NO and CH4. In practice, the concentrations of NO and CH4 can be measured using a gas analyzer during the exhaust gas treatment process. This gas analyzer can be a Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer (FTIR).

[0067] In the experiment, the catalytic effects of a single first catalyst, a single second catalyst, and the target catalyst were tested, and the NO emission during the exhaust gas treatment process was measured using FTIR. X The concentrations of CH4 and NO were calculated. X The removal efficiency of CH4. Specifically, the first catalyst is 2% Cr-2% In / H-SSZ-13, the second catalyst is 6% Co / H-SSZ-13, and the target catalyst is 6% Co-2% Cr-2% In / H-SSZ-13. Figure 2 The CH4 removal efficiency using the first catalyst, the second catalyst, and the target catalyst is shown. Figure 3 The diagram illustrates NO using a first catalyst, a second catalyst, and a target catalyst. X Removal efficiency. Figure 2 and Figure 3 In the figure, the horizontal axis represents the reaction temperature, which specifically refers to the temperature of the co-catalytic reactor, ranging from 300 to 530°C.

[0068] It should be noted that, for this experiment, in order to obtain a more effective target catalyst, H-SSZ-13 with Si / Al = 10 was selected. That is, among 2%Cr-2%In / H-SSZ-13, 6%Co / H-SSZ-13, and 6%Co-2%Cr-2%In / H-SSZ-13, H-SSZ-13 has Si / Al = 10.

[0069] based on Figure 2 and Figure 3 Experimental results show that 6%Co-2%Cr-2%In / H-SSZ-13 (Si / Al=10) not only maintains the high CH4 removal efficiency of 6%Co / H-SSZ-13 (Si / Al=10), but also achieves higher NO removal efficiency than 2%Cr-2%In / H-SSZ-13 (Si / Al=10). X Removal efficiency. In other words, compared to a single first catalyst or a single second catalyst, the target catalyst prepared based on the first and second catalysts can synergistically remove NO. X It has the same effect as CH4, and can achieve higher NO levels. X Removal efficiency.

[0070] As can be seen from the above technical solution, for engine exhaust gas treatment, the target catalyst can first be obtained. The active components of this target catalyst include cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), and indium (In), and the target catalyst is placed in a co-catalytic reactor. Then, gases containing CH4 and nitrogen oxides (NOx) can be treated. X The engine exhaust gas is fed into a co-catalytic reactor for exhaust gas treatment. During the treatment process, based on the action of the target catalyst, CH4 can be converted into carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O), while NO is converted into CO2. X It is converted into nitrogen (N2). Finally, the engine exhaust gas, after treatment, can be discharged from the co-catalytic reactor. It can be seen that this is effective for gases containing CH4 and NO. X For engine exhaust gases, a single exhaust gas treatment system consisting of a co-catalytic reactor can be installed, which, under the action of the target catalyst, can simultaneously treat CH4 and NO. X The process is performed to simultaneously remove CH4 and NO. X The purpose is to achieve the following: Compared to the removal methods in related technologies, this application, under the action of the target catalyst, requires only one exhaust gas treatment system to simultaneously remove CH4 and NO. X In other words, it provides a method for co-processing CH4 and NO. X This method simplifies the engine exhaust treatment system and reduces exhaust treatment costs.

[0089] The temperature of the first mixture is controlled at 25-30°C using a magnetic stirrer, and stirred at 400-500 rpm for 24-48 hours to allow ion exchange between the Cr(NO3)3, In(NO3)3 and H-SSZ-13, resulting in a first uniform mixed slurry.

X For engine exhaust gases, a single exhaust gas treatment system consisting of a co-catalytic reactor can be installed, which, under the action of the target catalyst, can simultaneously treat CH4 and NO. X The process is performed to simultaneously remove CH4 and NO. X The purpose is to achieve the following: Compared to the removal methods in related technologies, this application, under the action of the target catalyst, requires only one exhaust gas treatment system to simultaneously remove CH4 and NO. X In other words, it provides a method for co-processing CH4 and NO. X This method simplifies the engine exhaust treatment system and reduces exhaust treatment costs.
