Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of denitrification catalyst preparation technology, and in particular to a porous chromium-based composite denitrification catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] The information disclosed in the background section of this invention is intended only to enhance the understanding of the overall background of the invention and is not necessarily to be construed as an admission or in any way implying that such information constitutes prior art known to those skilled in the art.

[0003] Nitrogen oxides (NO) x NO is one of the major gaseous pollutants and a major contributor to smog, photochemical smog, the greenhouse effect, and environmental acidification. x Emission reduction has been extensively studied and various methods (selective catalytic reduction, selective non-catalytic reduction, and non-selective catalytic reduction) have been implemented. Among these, ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) is currently the most advanced industrial technology. This technology effectively reduces NO emissions within the ideal temperature range of the catalyst. x It is converted into harmless N2 and H2O.

[0004] The performance of a catalyst determines its denitrification efficiency; therefore, the preparation of highly efficient catalysts is a current research hotspot. Transition metal oxides are catalysts that are simple to prepare, abundant in resources, and far cheaper than precious metals. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous crystalline materials with a periodic, multidimensional network structure formed by the coordination of metal ions and organic ligands. Their advantages, such as large specific surface area, rich hierarchical porosity, and diverse building blocks, make them excellent self-template precursors for the pyrolysis synthesis of metal oxides.

[0005] However, the low content of active metals in single MOFs limits the activity of oxides and prevents them from realizing their practical application potential. Some current studies use traditional loading methods to introduce active metals into MOFs, but the loaded metals obtained by this method often have poor dispersibility and stability.

[0006] Therefore, how to obtain a multi-metal composite denitration catalyst with good dispersibility, stability and catalytic activity is an urgent problem to be solved. Summary of the Invention

[0007] In view of this, the present invention provides a porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst, its preparation method and application, which solves the problems of low active metal content and poor denitration activity in single MOFs, as well as poor dispersibility and poor stability of active metal-MOF composite catalysts.

[0013] Preferably, the molar ratio of the chromium salt to the organic ligand is 1:1 to 3, and the mass ratio of the chromium salt to the Anderson-type polyoxometalate is 32:1 to 5.

[0014] Preferably, the hydrothermal reaction temperature is 100–220°C, and the hydrothermal reaction time is 12–36 h.

[0015] Preferably, the hydrothermal reaction further includes centrifuging the solution after the hydrothermal reaction, and then washing and drying the precipitate obtained by centrifugation to obtain the precursor.

[0016] Preferably, the heating rate of the calcination is 1-5℃ / min, the calcination temperature is 400-600℃, and the calcination time is 1-3h.

[0017] Preferably, the preparation method of the Anderson-type polyoxometalate is as follows: a transition metal sulfate and (NH4)6Mo7O are reacted... 24 • 4H2O is dissolved in water, mixed evenly, evaporated in a steam bath until anhydrous, and dried to obtain the product; the transition metal sulfate is selected from one or more sulfates of Ni, Co or Fe.

[0018] Furthermore, the transition metal sulfate and (NH4)6Mo7O 24 The molar ratio of ·4H2O is 1:1.4 to 1.7; the drying temperature is 60 to 100°C, and the drying time is 10 to 20 hours.

[0020] Thirdly, the present invention provides the application of the above-mentioned porous chromium-based composite denitrification catalyst in the NH3-SCR denitrification reaction.

[0021] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has achieved the following beneficial effects:

[0022] The porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst of this invention uses MOF-confined polyoxometalates as precursors, embedding polyoxometalate clusters containing heterogeneous metals into the cavities of MOFs. The synergistic effect among multiple active metals enhances the performance of the denitration catalyst, resulting in high denitration catalytic efficiency. Compared to single MOF porous chromium-based catalysts, the denitration efficiency can be increased by up to 90% or more.

[0025] Figure 2 These are the XRD patterns of the porous chromium-based denitration catalysts of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 of the present invention;

[0027] It should be noted that the following detailed descriptions are exemplary and intended to provide further illustration of the invention. Unless otherwise specified, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.

[0028] This invention provides a method for preparing a porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst, comprising the following steps:

[0029] A precursor is obtained by dissolving chromium salt, organic ligand and Anderson-type polyoxometalate in water and carrying out a hydrothermal reaction; the precursor is then calcined to obtain the final product.

[0030] In this invention, chromium salts, organic ligands, and Anderson-type polyoxometalates are subjected to a hydrothermal reaction. Polyoxometalate (POM) clusters with sizes as small as ~1 nm can smoothly enter the cavity of a MOF through strong interactions with the cavity wall, enabling the preparation of MOF-confined Anderson-type polyoxometalate precursors. POMs possess strong... Its acidity, excellent redox reversibility, size tunability, and multifunctionality enable it to synergistically enhance the overall denitration catalytic performance with active chromium. This confinement strategy allows the prepared catalyst to be uniformly dispersed without aggregation, exposing abundant active sites. A two-step method, i.e., impregnating pre-synthesized MOFs in a polyoxometalate solution to prepare the precursor, easily leads to the loss of POMs groups and blockage of MOF pores. Furthermore, this confinement strategy saves on the amount of active component used, comprehensively reducing the production cost of the catalyst; the immobility of the POMs core during pyrolysis allows for controlled growth of the POMs@MOF derivative nanostructure.

[0031] The type of Anderson-type polyoxometalate affects the denitration performance of the catalyst. In order to exert a synergistic effect with the active metal chromium to jointly improve the denitration performance, the preferred catalyst in this invention is (NH4)4[NiMo6O 24 H6]·5H2O、(NH4)3[CoMo6O 24 H6]·7H2O or (NH4)3[FeMo6O 24 One or more of [H6]·6H2O, more preferably (NH4)4[NiMo6O] 24 H6]·5H2O or (NH4)3[CoMo6O 24 H6]·7H2O.

[0032] This invention does not impose any special restrictions on the type of chromium salt, which can be selected from one or more of chromium nitrate, chromium perchlorate, chromium sulfate, and chromium chloride.

[0033] In this invention, the organic ligand is selected from one or more of terephthalic acid, 2-nitroterephthalic acid, or benzoic acid.

[0034] The preferred molar ratio of chromium salt to organic ligand in this invention is 1:1 to 3, and the preferred mass ratio of chromium salt to Anderson-type polyoxometalate is 32:1 to 5.

[0035] In this invention, the temperature of the hydrothermal reaction is 100–220°C, more preferably 150–200°C; the time of the hydrothermal reaction is 12–36 h.

[0036] Following the hydrothermal reaction, this invention further includes centrifugation, washing, and drying of the resulting solution to obtain a MOF-confined Anderson-type polyoxometalate precursor. The washing process involves sequentially washing with N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF) and water 1-3 times to remove unreacted raw materials and impurities. Finally, the precursor is dried at 60-80°C for 10-20 hours.

[0037] The calcination heating rate of this invention is 1–5 °C / min, the calcination temperature is 400–600 °C, and the calcination time is 1–3 h. After calcination, the target MMo / Cr2O3 porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst is obtained, where M = Ni, Co, and Fe.

[0038] In this invention, the preparation method of the Anderson-type polyoxometalate is as follows: a transition metal sulfate and (NH4)6Mo7O are reacted... 24 • 4H2O is dissolved in water, mixed evenly, evaporated in a steam bath until anhydrous, and dried to obtain the product; the transition metal sulfate is selected from one or more sulfates of Ni, Co or Fe.

[0039] In the preparation of Anderson-type polyoxometalates, transition metal sulfates and (NH4)6Mo7O 24 The molar ratio of ·4H2O is 1:1.4 to 1.7; the drying temperature is 60 to 100°C, and the drying time is 10 to 20 hours.

[0040] Furthermore, in the preparation of Anderson-type polyoxometalates, H₂O₂ can be added, with a molar ratio of 1 to 3:1 to the transition metal sulfate. The purpose of adding H₂O₂ is to oxidize the low-valence metal ions to the high-valence state.

[0041] The present invention also provides a porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst obtained by the above preparation method.

[0042] This invention also provides the application of the above-mentioned porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst in the NH3-SCR denitration reaction. Under the action of the above-mentioned porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst, the reducing agent NH3 effectively removes NO. x It is reduced to harmless N2 and H2O (4NH3+4NO+O2→4N2+6H2O).

[0043] The technical solution of the present invention will be further described below with reference to specific embodiments.

[0055] Weigh 1.60g Cr(NO3)3·9H2O(4mmol), 0.67g H2BDC(4mmol), 0.1g(NH4)3[FeMo6O 24 [H6]·6H2O(FeMo6) was dissolved in 60 mL of distilled water by stirring. The resulting homogeneous solution was then placed in a 100 mL high-pressure reactor lined with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and reacted at 180 °C for 20 h. After the reactor cooled naturally, the reacted solution was centrifuged to obtain a precipitate, which was washed with N,N-dimethylformamide and distilled water, and finally dried at 70 °C for 12 h to obtain the MIL-101 confined polyoxometalate precursor (denoted as FeMo6@MIL-101(Cr)). The precursor was placed in a crucible at the center of a muffle furnace and heated to 500 °C at a heating rate of 1 °C / min and held for 2 h to finally obtain a porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst (denoted as FeMo6 / Cr2O3).

[0056] Comparative Example 1

[0057] Weigh 1.60 g Cr(NO3)3·9H2O (4 mmol) and 0.67 g H2BDC (4 mmol), add 60 mL of distilled water and stir until dissolved. Then place the above homogeneous solution in a 100 mL high-pressure reactor with a polytetrafluoroethylene liner and react at 180 °C for 20 h. After the reactor cools naturally, centrifuge the reacted solution to obtain a precipitate, wash with N,N-dimethylformamide and distilled water, and finally dry at 70 °C for 12 h to obtain the MIL-101 precursor (denoted as MIL-101(Cr)). Place the precursor in a crucible in the center of a muffle furnace and heat to 500 °C at a heating rate of 1 °C / min and hold for 2 h to finally obtain a porous chromium-based denitration catalyst (denoted as Cr2O3).

[0058] XRD (X-ray diffraction) analysis was performed on the precursors prepared in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, as follows: Figure 1 As shown, the diffraction peaks at 2.8°, 3.2°, 5.1°, 8.9°, and 16.4° of the MIL-101(Cr) precursor are consistent with literature reports, indicating the successful synthesis of the MIL-101(Cr) template. For NiMo6@MIL-101(Cr), its XRD pattern is similar to that of MIL-101(Cr), and no diffraction peaks belonging to the NiMo6 crystal were observed, indicating that NiMo6 was uniformly embedded in the MIL-101(Cr) nanocage without altering the crystal structure of MIL-101(Cr).

[0059] XRD analysis was performed on the precursor pyrolysis products of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1, such as... Figure 2 As shown, the diffraction peaks of the MIL-101(Cr) precursor pyrolysis product (Cr2O3) appear at 2θ = 24.5°, 33.6°, 36.2°, 41.5°, 50.2°, 54.9°, 63.4°, and 65.2°, which are in excellent agreement with the standard Cr2O3 pattern (JCPDS 82-1484). Obvious Cr2O3 characteristic peaks were also observed in the NiMo6@MIL-101(Cr) precursor pyrolysis product (NiMo6 / Cr2O3), and no peaks belonging to Ni and Mo species were detected. This may be due to their low content or high dispersion in the catalyst.

[0062]

[0063] Among them, [NO x ] in NO at the inlet of the catalyst performance testing system x Concentration, [NO x ] out NO at the outlet of the catalyst performance testing system x concentration.

[0064] Specific test results are as follows Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the NiMo / Cr2O3 porous chromium-based composite denitration catalyst of Example 1 exhibits the most outstanding performance, with its NO... x The highest conversion rate was achieved at 74.1% under medium-low temperature conditions of 200℃.
