Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of heterogeneous catalysis, and particularly relates to a CO low-temperature selective methanation bimetallic catalyst, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) offer advantages such as high efficiency, low pollution, low operating temperature, fast startup, and high power density, making them promising for applications in new energy vehicles and distributed power generation. PEMFCs primarily use hydrogen or hydrogen-rich gas as fuel. Hydrogen fuel is primarily produced by reforming hydrogen-rich compounds such as methane, methanol, and dimethyl ether, followed by a water-gas shift reaction. However, this method produces hydrogen fuel containing 20 vol.% CO2 and 0.5-2 vol.% CO. Even trace amounts of CO can poison the Pt anode material in PEMFCs, reducing cell performance. To ensure proper operation and extend the life of PEMFCs, deep CO removal from the hydrogen fuel is necessary. Currently, effective chemical methods for deep CO removal include CO selective methanation (CO-SMET) and CO selective oxidation. Compared to CO selective oxidation, CO selective methanation does not require the introduction of oxygen or air into the system, resulting in a simpler process. Furthermore, nitrogen is not introduced into the hydrogen fuel to reduce the hydrogen content. Currently, the challenge in CO selective methanation lies in the development of highly active and selective catalysts.

[0003] The active components for CO selective methanation are usually the noble metal Ru and the non-noble metal Ni. The noble metal Ru has good catalytic activity under low temperature conditions, while the non-noble metal Ni has problems such as difficulty in reducing the active component, high reaction temperature, and easy agglomeration and sintering. TiO2 has semiconductor properties and can produce strong metal-support interactions with the supported metal. Tada et al. (Effect of metal addition to Ru / TiO2 catalyst on selective CO methanation. Catalysis Today, 2014, 232:16-21.) et al. directly loaded 5wt% Ru and Ni onto commercial TiO2 and were able to reduce the CO outlet concentration to below 500ppm in the range of 200℃-290℃. Li et al. (Hydrogenated TiO2 supported Ru for selective methanation of CO in practical conditions. Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, 2021, 298: 120597) calcined TiO2 in a hydrogen atmosphere at 400 ° C for 3 h to obtain a modified H2-TiO2, and then loaded 1.1 wt% Ru to obtain a Ru / H2-TiO2 catalyst, which can reduce CO to below 10 ppm in the range of 200-260 ° C while maintaining a selectivity of more than 50%. Ping et al. (Ni-doped TiO2 nanotubes supported Rucatalysts for CO selective methanation in H2-rich reformate gases. Reaction Kinetics Mechanisms & Catalysis, 2018.) loaded 1 wt% Ru and 5 wt% Ni onto titanium nanotubes (TNT) to prepare a Ru / Ni-TNT catalyst, which can reduce the CO outlet concentration to below 10 ppm in the range of 210-270 ° C while maintaining a selectivity of more than 50%. Xiao Gang et al. (authorization announcement number: CN101607198B) loaded 0.2-2wt% Ru onto a composite oxide support of ZrO2 and CeO2. The resulting Ru / ZrO2-CeO2 had good activity within the temperature range of 220℃-300℃, but could only reduce the CO outlet concentration to 25ppm.Dong Xinfa et al. (authorization announcement number: CN113398935B) synthesized graphene oxide-nickel aluminum hydrotalcite hydrogel by layer-by-layer self-assembly, and obtained a graphene-composite metal oxide aerogel carrier through freeze-drying and calcination, and loaded Ru on it. The Ru-Ni / rGO-MMO obtained after calcination can reduce the outlet concentration of hydrogen-rich gas containing 1 vol% CO to below 10 ppm at 220-290°C, while maintaining a selectivity of more than 50%.

[0004] The catalysts prepared by the above methods generally have shortcomings such as large amount of precious metal Ru (Ru amount greater than or equal to 1wt%), poor low-temperature activity (reaction window starting temperature is higher than 200°C), incomplete CO reaction (CO outlet concentration fails to drop below 10ppm). Summary of the Invention

[0005] In order to overcome the above-mentioned shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the primary object of the present invention is to provide a bimetallic catalyst for the low-temperature selective methanation of CO.

[0006] Another object of the present invention is to provide a method for preparing the above-mentioned CO low-temperature selective methanation bimetallic catalyst.

[0007] Another object of the present invention is to provide an application of the above-mentioned CO low-temperature selective methanation bimetallic catalyst for deep removal of trace CO in hydrogen-rich gas.

[0008] The purpose of the present invention is achieved through the following solutions:

[0009] A low-temperature selective methanation bimetallic catalyst for CO is a metal-supported catalyst with Ru and Ni as active components and nickel-titanium hydrotalcite (NiTi-LDH) as a carrier, wherein the active components are derived from Ru reduced by ruthenium salt and Ni partially reduced in NiTi-LDH.

[0017] The total concentration of metal cations in the mixed solution (III) of step (1) is 0.2-0.5 mol·L -1 , Ni 2+ With Ti 4+ The molar ratio is 2-3:1. Preferably, the cation concentration in the solution is 0.4 mol·L -1 , Ni 2+ With Ti 4+ The molar ratio is 3:1.

[0018] Na in the precipitant of step (1) + The total concentration is 1.2-1.6 mol·L -1 The molar ratio of Na2CO3 to NaOH is 0.3-0.5:1. Preferably, Na + The total concentration is 1.2-1.4 mol·L -1 , the molar ratio of Na2CO3 to NaOH is 0.375-0.5:1.

[0019] The pH of the mixed solution during complete precipitation in step (1) is 9.0-10.0, preferably, the pH is 9.5 during complete precipitation.

[0023] The drying temperatures in step (1) and step (2) are both 50°C-70°C, preferably 60°C.

[0024] The reducing gas composition of step (2) is V N2 :V H2 =1:0.8-1.2:1, preferably V N2 :N H2 =1:1; reducing gas space velocity is 6000-7200mL·h -1 ·g -1 Preferably, the reducing gas space velocity is: 7200 mL·h -1 ·g -1

[0026] The above-mentioned CO low-temperature selective methanation bimetallic catalyst is used to deeply remove trace CO from hydrogen-rich gas, wherein the CO concentration in the hydrogen-rich gas is 0.5-1 vol.%.

[0027] Furthermore, the reaction temperature of the catalyst when removing trace CO is 180°C-260°C.

[0028] The mechanism of the present invention is:

[0029] The present invention provides a preparation method and application of a Ru-Ni / NiTi-LDH supported bimetallic catalyst with NiTi-LDH as a carrier and the synergistic effect of precious metal Ru and non-precious metal Ni. Ru-Ni / NiTi-LDH has a flaky structure, and the cations on the hydrotalcite layer can be evenly distributed, so that the dispersion of Ni on the catalyst surface is high. There is a hydrogen overflow effect between Ru and Ni on the catalyst surface. The reduction temperature of RuCl3 is relatively low. During the reduction process, Ru is reduced first, and H2 first dissociates into active H* on Ru, and then overflows onto NiO, so that NiO is reduced at a lower temperature, lowering the reduction temperature of Ni, allowing more Ni to be reduced, and significantly improving the activity of the catalyst. The catalyst prepared by the present invention can reduce the concentration of CO in hydrogen-rich gas to below 10 ppm within a relatively low reaction temperature and a wide reaction window (180-260°C), and the selectivity is higher than 50%, which better meets the requirements of fuel cell electric vehicles for high-quality hydrogen source fuel.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following advantages and beneficial effects:

[0031] The present invention first introduces Ni and Ti elements into hydrotalcite to produce a NiTi-LDH support. Ru is then loaded onto the NiTi-LDH support to produce a Ru-Ni / NiTi-LDH catalyst. This catalyst, with a Ru loading as low as 0.3 wt%, can reduce the outlet concentration of 1 vol.% CO to below 10 ppm within a temperature window of 180°C to 260°C, while maintaining selectivity above 50%.

[0032] (1) The Ru-Ni / NiTi-LDH bimetallic catalyst for CO selective methanation of the present invention has good low-temperature activity. Under the synergistic effect of the Ni and Ru bimetallics, CO in hydrogen-rich gas can be reduced to below 10 ppm within a wide reaction temperature window of 180-260°C, with a selectivity higher than 50%.

[0033] (2) The Ru-Ni / NiTi-LDH bimetallic catalyst for CO selective methanation of the present invention is inexpensive and economical. The active components in the catalyst are composed of Ni and the noble metal Ru, but the loading amount of the noble metal Ru only needs to be about 0.3 wt.%.

[0034] (3) There is a hydrogen overflow effect between Ru and NiO on the Ru-Ni / NiTi-LDH bimetallic catalyst for CO selective methanation of the present invention, and the required reduction temperature is low.

[0035] (4) The layered structure of LDH in the Ru-Ni / NiTi-LDH bimetallic catalyst for CO selective methanation of the present invention plays a confining role and can increase the dispersion of the active component Ni. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
