Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to an iron-based catalyst for water-gas shift reaction, in particular to a preparation method of an iron-based composite catalyst, the obtained catalyst and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Hydrogen energy has attracted considerable attention as a potential alternative to traditional fossil fuels. With a gross calorific value of 141.8 MJ / kg, hydrogen fuel is twice as calorific as natural gas (54.0 MJ / kg), offering excellent economic benefits. While hydrogen resources are abundant, such as water and biomass, most hydrogen today is extracted from traditional fossil fuels such as crude oil and natural gas. Currently, steam methane reforming (SRM) is the primary, established industrial hydrogen production technology. To increase hydrogen yield, the reforming process is followed by a water-gas shift reaction (WGS) to remove excess CO and further increase the H₂ content in the atmosphere, thereby increasing hydrogen yield. In recent years, another important application of the WGS reaction has been in new energy vehicles. Fuel cell electrode materials are primarily composed of platinum, which is easily deactivated in the presence of carbon monoxide. Therefore, a WGS reactor is placed before the fuel cell to convert CO into hydrogen and CO₂. Therefore, the WGS reaction plays an important industrial role in regulating and increasing H₂ concentrations.

[0003] Commercial iron oxide catalysts using chromium oxide as a structural additive have a history of application for more than 60 years. In addition to being a structural additive to prevent the sintering of iron oxide crystals, Cr2O3 / CrO3 can also improve the inherent catalytic activity of Fe2O3. Under high-temperature hydrothermal conditions during the reaction, Cr2O3 will inhibit the growth of iron oxide grains and avoid a significant reduction in the specific surface area of ​​the catalyst. Although chromium oxide has been proven to be a good additive, hexavalent chromium is a heavy metal that is toxic to humans, organisms or cells, and is also a serious environmental pollutant. The water solubility of hexavalent chromium causes it to leach from the catalyst through condensed steam or cold water. The hexavalent chromium (Cr6+) of fresh and discarded commercial high-temperature conversion Fe-Cr catalysts has a very high cost of disposal. Due to the hexavalent chromium (Cr 6+ ) and its impact on the environment, it is necessary to develop a highly stable and active chromium-free catalyst for HT-WGSR.

[0004] CN107649142B discloses a low-density iron-chromium CO conversion catalyst, which uses Mn, Mg, and Cr as additives to improve the high-temperature stability of the Fe-based catalyst. The catalyst is Fe2O3, Cr2O3, CuO, Mn, and Cr. x O Y The mixture is mainly composed of the following by weight percentage: Fe2O370%~92%, Cr2O3 4%~15%, CuO 0.5%~10%, M xO Y 4%~15%, wherein M is one or more of Ti, Mg, Mn, Al, Ca, Si.

[0005] CN103272600B discloses a supported copper iron water gas shift catalyst, and the catalyst is prepared by using modified bauxite as carrier and Cu and Fe as active components, and the content of CuO is 10-15wt%, and the content of Fe2O3 is 5-30wt%.

[0006] CN104014345B discloses a CuO-CeO2 catalyst for water gas shift reaction, and the catalyst is prepared by using complex deposition precipitation method.

[0007] The problems of the water gas shift reaction reported in the literatures and patents include serious methanation side reaction, low space-time yield, high catalyst cost, and serious chromium pollution. SUMMARY
