Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to the technical field of asphalt fume treatment in air pollution, and particularly relates to a low-temperature degradation catalyst for asphalt fume and a preparation method thereof. BACKGROUND

[0002] The statements herein are provided only to enhance understanding of the present application and are not necessarily intended to constitute the prior art.

[0003] Asphalt is a high-viscosity organic liquid, which is a complex mixture composed of hydrocarbon compounds and derivatives with different molecular weights and usually exists in a semi-solid state at room temperature. Asphalt is widely used in road construction due to its good ductility and viscosity. Since asphalt is semi-solid at room temperature, it must be heated during use, and asphalt fume is generated during the heating process. Asphalt fume is a smog-like substance formed by the diffusion of components in asphalt into the air during the heating and use process. The components of asphalt fume are very complex, and the substances such as polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons contained therein are highly toxic and difficult to degrade, causing great harm to the environment and human beings.

[0004] Methods for treating asphalt fume include high-temperature combustion, catalytic combustion, low-temperature plasma, and photocatalytic oxidation, etc. The high-temperature combustion method has the disadvantages of high energy consumption, high operating cost, and poor economic practicability. The catalytic combustion method requires a catalyst with good performance, and the low-temperature plasma method has the disadvantage of incomplete decomposition of organic matter, causing secondary pollution. The photocatalytic oxidation method can only degrade and treat part of the substances in asphalt fume, and it is difficult to degrade macromolecular organic matter therein, so the treatment effect is not obvious. SUMMARY

[0005] In view of the deficiencies in the prior art, the present application aims to provide a low-temperature degradation catalyst for asphalt fume and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst has good low-temperature catalytic properties and can achieve efficient low-temperature degradation of asphalt fume.

[0006] To achieve the above-mentioned purpose, the present application is implemented by the following technical solutions:

[0007] In a first aspect, the present application provides a low-temperature degradation catalyst for asphalt fume, which comprises a carrier and an active component loaded thereon. The active component comprises two kinds, one of which is MnO x , and the other is CeO x or CoO x , and the molar ratio of manganese to cerium / cobalt is 1:0.25-1; the carrier is nano-TiO2.

[0008] In some embodiments, the average specific surface area of the catalyst is 29.7-36.3 m 2 / g, and the average pore size is 7.8-8.9 nm.

[0009] In a second aspect, the present application provides a preparation method of the catalyst for catalytic degradation of asphalt fume, comprising the following steps:

[0010] The cerium soluble salt or cobalt soluble salt and manganese soluble salt are dissolved in an ethanol aqueous solution in a proportion to obtain an active solution; then the active solution is impregnated into nano-TiO2 powder, and the catalyst is prepared after drying, calcining and grinding, wherein the calcining temperature is 500-600℃ and the calcining time is 4-6h.

[0011] Since the adopted nano-TiO2 powder is lipophilic, it is not wetted by water, and therefore ethanol is used as a surfactant to ensure that the active component can be loaded on the TiO2 carrier.

[0012] In some embodiments, the average particle size of the nano-TiO2 powder is 100nm.

[0013] In some embodiments, the manganese soluble salt is manganese nitrate, and the cerium soluble salt is cerium nitrate.

[0014] In some embodiments, the volume fraction of the ethanol aqueous solution is 40%-60%.

[0015] In some embodiments, the particle size of the ground catalyst is 20-40 mesh.

[0016] In some embodiments, the drying temperature is 100-110℃, and the drying time is 10-15h.

[0017] In some embodiments, the temperature for catalytic degradation of asphalt fume by using the catalyst is 250-400℃.

[0018] Preferably, the temperature for catalytic degradation of asphalt fume by using the catalyst is 250-300℃.

[0019] The beneficial effects achieved by one or more embodiments of the present application are as follows:

[0020] The asphalt fume can be catalytically degraded at a low temperature (250-300℃), and the asphalt fume shows high catalytic activity at a low temperature, so that the environment of various asphalt fume production and use sites can be improved, the health of workers can be protected, and the purpose of energy saving and emission reduction can be achieved on the basis of lower energy consumption.
