Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application belongs to the cross field of solid waste treatment and resource utilization and environmental catalysis technology, and particularly relates to a preparation method of a composite monolithic catalyst and application thereof in solid waste treatment and air environmental pollution treatment. BACKGROUND

[0002] Lithium ion battery is one of the key supporting technologies of clean energy, and the global lithium battery shipment shows an explosive rapid growth trend. At present, the recycling technologies mainly based on pyrometallurgical and hydrometallurgical processes are complex, high in environmental pollution, low in efficiency and high in cost. Due to the unique structural characteristics and charge transport mechanism, battery materials are beneficial to the efficient transport of gas, ion and electron at the single / multi-phase interface. The previous experiments also observed that the Lewis basic center at the interface of the battery material can catalyze the generation of gaseous products such as CO2 and methanol, which shows that the unique structure and interface enhancement effect of the battery material may have unique advantages in catalytic oxidation reaction.

[0003] Since the industrial revolution, fossil fuels have been the main energy source for human beings, but oil, petrochemical products, coal and the like will emit a large amount of gaseous pollutants such as nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and volatile organic compounds (VOCs) during use or combustion, which is an important challenge to achieve "carbon reduction and pollution reduction". Through catalytic removal of VOCs, including simultaneous catalytic removal of NO x and VOCs in a denitration facility, it is a reasonable choice in terms of technology and economy in the field of air environmental pollution treatment. The key to catalytic removal is to prepare a composite monolithic catalyst which is cheap, easy to obtain, high in activity and stability.

[0004] In view of this, the present application proposes a classification recycling and "waste-to-resource" strategy in view of the problems existing in the field of solid waste treatment and air environmental pollution treatment, and high-value lithium and transition metals in waste lithium manganate lithium battery cathode materials are classified and recycled. After the waste lithium manganate lithium battery is disassembled, the positive electrode sheet is obtained by a pretreatment-subsection stripping process to obtain defect type manganese nanoparticles, and then the lithium is selectively recovered and etched by mixed acid to obtain oxygen vacancy-defect type manganese nanoparticles, so as to prepare an oxygen vacancy-defect type manganese-based-powder / monolithic catalyst. The catalyst can be used for catalytic oxidation of VOCs or simultaneous catalytic removal of NO x and VOC in low-temperature (200-300 DEG C) flue gas. At the same time, the catalyst widens the catalytic activity temperature window, and shows high catalytic activity, high resistance, wide activity temperature range and high catalytic selectivity.

The application can prepare a low-cost composite catalyst while selectively recovering lithium, and the prepared catalyst has high catalytic activity, high resistance (resistance to nitrogen oxides, resistance to sulfur, resistance to ammonia, resistance to water), a wide active temperature range and high catalytic selectivity, and can be widely applied to the fields of NO x and VOCs and other atmospheric pollutants control.

[0042] Example 1

[0043] Preparation of oxygen vacancy-defect type manganese nanoparticle catalysts.

[0044] First, the waste lithium manganese oxide batteries undergo pretreatment steps including deactivation, disassembly, crushing, and component separation to separate the positive electrode material, copper foil, aluminum foil, carbon powder, and plastic film. The positive electrode sheet is placed in a mixed acid solution of acetic acid and citric acid with a concentration of 5 mol / L and a solid-liquid ratio of 50 g / L. It is then subjected to constant-temperature ultrasonic immersion at 60°C for 6 hours. After drying at 120°C for 10 hours, it is placed in a tube furnace for segmented calcination. The specific calcination method is as follows: first, using high-purity nitrogen as the atmosphere, the temperature is increased from room temperature to 280°C at a rate of 8°C / min, and held at 280°C for 150 minutes. Then, using high-purity nitrogen with an oxygen content of 30 vol%, the temperature is increased to 550°C at a rate of 12°C / min and held at 550°C for 8 hours. Finally, the temperature is reduced to room temperature at a rate of 6°C / min.

[0045] Next, oxalic acid and deionized water were thoroughly mixed, with an oxalic acid concentration of 240 g / L. After sonication, the mixture was placed in a rotary evaporator and stirred at a constant temperature until dissolved. The stirring rate of the rotary evaporator was 280 rpm, the temperature was 65℃, and the sonication time was 1.5 h. The exfoliated lithium manganese oxide precursor prepared in step (1) was added, and after sonication, it was stirred vigorously at a constant temperature. After standing, the upper liquid was poured off, and then deionized water was added for impregnation, and the upper liquid was poured off again. This cycle was repeated 4 times to recover Li, and the Li recovery rate was calculated to be 51%. After Li recovery, the lower slurry was dried, ground, and calcined in stages to obtain a composite powder catalyst. The drying temperature was 125℃, and the drying time was 14 h. The specific calcination method is as follows: First, using high-purity nitrogen as the atmosphere, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 320℃ at a rate of 12℃ / min, and held at 320℃ for 200min. Then, using high-purity nitrogen with an oxygen content of 25 vol%, the temperature is raised to 500℃ at a rate of 15℃ / min and held at 500℃ for 8h. Finally, the temperature is lowered to room temperature at a rate of 6℃ / min. The oxygen vacancy-defect type manganese nanoparticle catalyst is obtained.

[0046] X-ray diffraction pattern of the catalyst ( Figure 1 ) and SEM ( Figure 2It can be seen that the composite catalyst is successfully prepared in this embodiment, and has high crystallinity. The catalyst has similar crystal phase with lithium manganate, indicating that the catalyst basically maintains the original crystal structure and framework. It can be seen from the low-temperature EPR (electron paramagnetic resonance) spectrum of the catalyst that the prepared catalyst has a very high oxygen vacancy concentration. Figure 3

The mass ratio of hydroxyl cellulose to coptite is 0.6%, the ultrasonic assisted immersion time is 15 min, the final loading amount of active substances is 28%, the drying temperature is 125°C, and the number of repeated immersions is 4. The specific calcination method is as follows: first, the temperature is raised from room temperature to 320°C at a rate of 8°C / min in a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere, kept at 320°C for 240 min, then raised to 500°C at a rate of 12°C / min in a high-purity nitrogen atmosphere with an oxygen content of 25 vol%, kept at 500°C for 10 h, and finally reduced to room temperature.
