Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides, and in particular to a molecular sieve confined noble metal catalyst for CO-SCR denitration, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The sources of anthropogenic nitrogen oxides are mainly concentrated in vehicle exhaust emissions, power plants and industrial waste gas emissions. Nitrogen oxides not only cause harm to the environment, but also have potential harm to human health and ecosystems. Therefore, it is necessary to control nitrogen oxides (NO x ) is extremely important. Currently, the main technology for controlling nitrogen oxides is NH3-SCR technology, which uses NH3 as a reducing agent to selectively convert nitrogen oxides into harmless N2 via a catalyst. However, NH3 can cause ammonia slip and secondary pollution. Therefore, CO-SCR technology, which uses CO already in the flue gas as a reducing agent, is gaining increasing attention. This technology offers advantages such as low secondary pollution and simple operation.

[0003] The problem that needs to be solved when CO-SCR catalyst is put into industrial application is that O2 and SO2 in the flue gas will cause the catalyst to deactivate. Studies have shown that Ir-based catalysts have higher activity than other catalysts under oxygen-containing conditions. When Ir is used as an active metal, the main function is the oxidation state of Ir. δ+ Site and metallic Ir 0 The high catalytic activity of Ir-based catalysts for CO-SCR reaction is mainly due to Ir δ+ With Ir 0 The synergistic effect is achieved, in which the oxidation state of Ir δ+ It is easier to selectively adsorb NO, then form ONNO intermediates, and then overflow to the adjacent Ir 0 Thus reacting with CO to form N2. A certain proportion of oxidized Ir δ+ Site and metallic Ir 0 Can improve reactivity.

[0004] However, the Ir-based catalysts in the existing technology have problems such as low active metal utilization, difficult adjustment of active sites, poor oxygen and sulfur resistance, and poor catalyst stability, which limit the further application of Ir-based catalysts. How to improve these problems and provide Ir-based catalysts with better performance has become a difficult problem that technicians in this field urgently need to overcome. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a molecular sieve confined precious metal catalyst for CO-SCR denitrification, and its preparation method and application, in order to solve the problems existing in the above-mentioned prior art. The present invention introduces metals into the molecular sieve synthesis through a one-pot hydrothermal method of in-situ synthesis-ligand protection, uses ligands to guide the anchoring of metal nanoclusters inside the molecular sieve, and accelerates the formation of the molecular sieve structure. The catalyst preparation method proposed in the present invention is simple to operate and shortens the preparation time; in the preparation method, only water is used as a solvent, which reduces the emission of harmful substances. The molecular sieve carrier of the prepared catalyst has high hydrothermal stability, and the occurrence state of the active component is adjustable, which optimizes the utilization rate of the metal and enhances the stability and catalytic activity of the catalyst in harsh environments.

[0006] To achieve the above object, the present invention provides the following solutions:

[0007] One of the technical solutions of the present invention: a molecular sieve confined precious metal catalyst for CO-SCR denitrification, wherein the molecular sieve confined precious metal catalyst includes a molecular sieve carrier and Ir metal nanoclusters loaded in the molecular sieve carrier by confined encapsulation (Ir metal nanoclusters serve as the active component of the catalyst).

[0009] Furthermore, the molecular sieve carrier is type A molecular sieve, type X molecular sieve or type Y molecular sieve; the loading amount of the Ir metal nanoclusters in the molecular sieve confined noble metal catalyst is 0.1 to 1 wt.%; and the particle size of the Ir metal nanoclusters is ≤2 nm.

[0010] Furthermore, the Ir metal nanoclusters include Ir metal nanoclusters with a particle size of less than 0.8 nm and Ir metal nanoclusters with a particle size of 1 to 2 nm.

[0011] Furthermore, the Ir metal nanoclusters include oxidized Ir δ+ and metallic Ir 0 , where Ir 0 The proportion is 10~70wt.%.

[0012] Furthermore, the molecular sieve has a cage-like structure and is rich in aluminum hydroxyl and silicon hydroxyl sites.

[0013] The general chemical formula of molecular sieve is M2O·Al2O3·xSiO2·yH2O, where M is a monovalent cation, such as K + 、Na + wait.

[0014] The second technical solution of the present invention: The preparation method of the molecular sieve confined precious metal catalyst for CO-SCR denitrification comprises the following steps:

That is, in terms of molar ratio, the reaction system formed by the third mixed solution has a ratio of SiO2:Al2O3:Na2O and / or K2O:Ir:first ligand:second ligand = 1-8:1:1-4:0.003-0.020:0.001-0.16:0.001-0.24.

[0046] The present invention uses a method in which a dual ligand is first separately combined with a metal precursor solution to obtain a first mixed solution and a second mixed solution, which is then added stepwise to a molecular sieve precursor solution for mixing. The dual ligand is first separately combined with the metal precursor solution so that the metal ions are fully combined with the ligands in the subsequent process to complete the initial formation of metal nanoclusters; through the mixed reaction of the molecular sieve precursor solution with the first mixed solution and the second mixed solution, an A, X or Y type molecular sieve is generated, and the complex formed by the ligand and the metal ion enters the crystallizing A, X or Y type molecular sieve, and the alkoxysilane part of the ligand is combined with the silanol of the silicon source or the aluminum hydroxyl of the aluminum source to form a Si-O-Si bond or a Si-O-Al bond, thereby accelerating the formation of the molecular sieve crystal structure. During the centrifugal washing process, impurities such as excess alkali are washed away, leaving a pure catalyst precipitate. After calcination under dry, high-temperature air conditions, substances such as the ligand are fully decomposed to obtain an A, X or Y molecular sieve catalyst that confines and encapsulates Ir metal clusters. The preparation process of the catalyst is simple, easy to operate, and has low environmental pollution.

[0047] The first ligand in the dual ligand is a C1-6 linear amine compound, and the second ligand is an alkoxysilane containing either a thiol or amino group. The first ligand is relatively small and flexible. The lone electron pair on the nitrogen atom of the amino group forms a coordination bond with the metal ion, guiding the metal into the small pores of the molecular sieve. The second ligand is a larger, branched bifunctional ligand, preferentially occupying the large pores or supercage structure of the molecular sieve. The sulfur element in the thiol group and the nitrogen element in the amino group of the second ligand have high electronegativity and a strong affinity for positively charged metal ions, thus preferentially binding to them. The alkoxysilane portion of the bifunctional ligand bonds with the silanol group of the silicon source and the alumol group of the aluminum source, forming Si-O-Si or Si-O-Al bonds, accelerating the formation of the molecular sieve structure. The size of the metal clusters in the synthesized catalyst is influenced by the ratio of the ligands and the cage or pore size of the molecular sieve, primarily limited to <0.8 nm and 1-2 nm, achieving low metal loading while optimizing metal utilization.

[0048] The third technical solution of the present invention: the application of the above-mentioned molecular sieve confined precious metal catalyst for CO-SCR denitrification in catalyzing the selective reduction of nitrogen oxides by carbon monoxide (CO) in fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas (i.e., application in CO-SCR reaction).

[0049] Furthermore, the nitrogen oxides in the fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas include NO (the molecular sieve confined precious metal catalyst used for CO-SCR denitrification plays a selective catalytic reduction role on NO in nitrogen oxides); the fixed source flue gas and / or mobile source exhaust gas also contains O2 and SO2.

[0050] Furthermore, the concentration of NO in the fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas is 50 to 500 ppm, preferably 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 150 ppm, 200 ppm, 250 ppm, 400 ppm or 500 ppm, and more preferably 400 ppm.

[0051] Furthermore, the concentration of CO in the fixed source flue gas or mobile source tail gas is 400 to 10000 ppm, preferably 400 ppm, 500 ppm, 600 ppm, 700 ppm, 800 ppm, 900 ppm or 1000 ppm, and more preferably 400 ppm.

[0052] Furthermore, the concentration of O2 in the fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas is 0 to 15 vol.%, and is not 0; the concentration of SO2 in the fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas is 0 to 400 ppm, and is not 0.

[0053] Furthermore, the concentration of O2 in the fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas is preferably 1 vol.%, 2 vol.%, 3 vol.%, 4 vol.%, 5 vol.%, 10 vol.% or 15 vol.%, and more preferably 5 vol.%; the concentration of SO2 in the fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas is preferably 50 ppm, 100 ppm, 200 ppm, 300 ppm or 400 ppm, and more preferably 100 ppm.

[0054] Furthermore, the reaction temperature of the molecular sieve confined precious metal catalyst for CO-SCR denitrification catalyzing the selective reduction of nitrogen oxides by carbon monoxide in fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas is 150-400°C, preferably 150°C, 200°C, 250°C, 300°C, 350°C or 400°C.

[0055] Furthermore, before the catalyst is used to catalyze the selective reduction of nitrogen oxides by carbon monoxide in fixed source flue gas or mobile source exhaust gas (i.e., before the CO-SCR reaction), it also includes pretreatment of the catalyst, specifically: pretreating the catalyst in a H2 / N2 mixed atmosphere at 200°C for 20 to 60 minutes, wherein the proportion of hydrogen in the H2 / N2 mixed atmosphere is 1 to 10 vol.%, preferably 1 vol.%, 2 vol.%, 3 vol.%, 4 vol.%, 5 vol.% or 10 vol.%, and more preferably 5 vol.%.

[0056] Furthermore, the pretreatment time is preferably 20 min, 30 min, 40 min, 50 min or 60 min, more preferably 30 min.

[0057] The present invention provides a catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides, a preparation method and an application thereof. By confining and encapsulating Ir metal nanoclusters within a molecular sieve, the present invention solves the problems of low active metal utilization, difficulty in adjusting active sites, poor oxygen and sulfur resistance, and poor catalyst stability in the current catalysts for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides. It also solves the problems of a complex catalyst preparation process, a long preparation cycle, and high costs. The resulting catalyst has improved catalytic activity and stability, and has broad application prospects.

[0058] In Ir-based catalysts, a certain proportion of oxidized Ir δ+ Site and metallic Ir 0 The reaction activity can be improved. The present invention controls the proportion of the two valence states of Ir by the particle size and distribution of Ir metal nanoclusters. The larger the cluster particles, the higher the proportion of metallic Ir. 0 The higher the proportion. The present invention uses an in-situ synthesis method to limit the encapsulation of clusters inside the molecular sieve, which can effectively control the particle size and dispersion of metal clusters. A, X or Y type molecular sieve is a material with a uniform pore structure and high crystallinity, with the characteristics of high specific surface area, excellent hydrothermal stability and chemical stability, etc., as a carrier for anchoring and dispersing metal active sites. The framework structure of A, X or Y type molecular sieve is composed of silicon oxide tetrahedron and aluminum oxide tetrahedron. On the basis of silicon oxide tetrahedron and aluminum oxide tetrahedron, three-dimensional β cage and α cage structure are further formed to accommodate metal clusters. The present invention uses two different ligands to introduce Ir clusters into different sites in the molecular sieve in steps to regulate the size and distribution of Ir clusters. The geometric configuration and size of the first ligand make it tend to build clusters in smaller pores in the molecular sieve (<0.8nm), while the size of the second ligand makes it build larger clusters (1-2nm) in the super cage of the molecular sieve.

[0059] Ir-based catalysts during the reaction 0 Easily oxidized to Ir by O2 δ+ , leading to Ir δ+ With Ir 0 The balance of Ir is destroyed, the synergistic effect is reduced, and the reaction activity is reduced. The presence of SO2 in the flue gas can promote the δ+ Xiang Ir 0 Different concentrations of SO2 have different effects. Under the combined action of O2 and SO2, Ir δ+ With Ir 0 Therefore, the Ir content introduced by the first ligand and the second ligand can be adjusted for flue gases with different O2:SO2 ratios, thereby regulating the size of the clusters.

[0060] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:

[0061] (1) The molecular sieve confined noble metal catalyst designed in the present invention for CO-SCR denitrification realizes the regulation of the proportion of different occurrence states of active sites, thereby improving the selective catalytic reduction ability of the metal sites for nitrogen oxides.

[0062] (2) The present invention adopts a one-pot hydrothermal method of in situ synthesis-ligand protection to prepare the catalyst. During the synthesis process, metal clusters with different particle sizes are introduced by adding two ligands in steps. The method is easy to operate, has a short preparation time, and has the potential for large-scale industrial application. The product of the complete catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides is nitrogen gas, which is beneficial to reducing environmental pollution.

[0063] (3) The molecular sieve confined precious metal catalyst for CO-SCR denitrification prepared by the present invention has excellent catalytic activity, which is significantly improved compared with the catalytic activity of existing catalysts, and overcomes the problem of low stability of general single metal catalysts, and has excellent potential for industrial application.

[0105] Effect verification

[0106] 1. XPS test

[0107] XPS test was performed on the catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 to detect Ir δ+ With Ir 0 The results are shown in Table 1.

[0108] Table 1

[0109]

[0110] According to the data in Table 1, the active site Ir 0 With Ir δ+ It can be seen that with the change of the amount of the first metal precursor solution, the second metal precursor solution, the first ligand and the second ligand, Ir 0 With Ir δ+ The proportion of the two also showed regular changes. As the amount of the first ligand and the corresponding coordinated first metal precursor solution decreased, Ir 0 The proportion is gradually increasing.

[0111] 2. CO-SCR reaction performance test

[0112] 0.25 g of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 were tested respectively in the following manner:

[0113] The catalyst was placed in a fixed reactor with NO concentration of 400 ppm, CO concentration of 8000 ppm, O2 concentration of 5 vol.%, SO2 concentration of 100 ppm, N2 as the balance gas, and a space velocity of 10000 h -1 The nitrogen oxide conversion rate of the catalyst at different reaction temperatures was tested, and the results are shown in Table 2.

[0114] Before the formal performance test, all catalysts were pretreated. The pretreatment steps were as follows:

[0115] The catalyst was pretreated at 200°C in a 5 vol.% H2 gas flow (N2 as the balance gas) for 30 min to improve its catalytic activity. x ) conversion rate (μ NOx The calculation method is shown in Equation 1-1. The real-time changes in the specific gas concentration during the experiment were measured by Bruker Tensor II infrared spectroscopy. The product of complete catalytic reduction is N2.

[0116]

[0117] Table 2

[0118]

[0119] Table 2 shows the conversion rates of nitrogen oxides by the catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 1 to 3 at different temperatures under the conditions of O2 concentration of 5 vol.% and SO2 concentration of 100 ppm. It can be seen that in the whole reaction process, the conversion rate of NO x The conversion rates are all about 0, indicating that the CO-SCR reaction catalytic activity of the molecular sieve support itself is extremely low, and the main active site is the Ir. The catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3 of the present invention have significant catalytic activity compared to that of Comparative Example 1, and as Ir 0 As the relative content increases, the conversion rate increases first and then decreases, showing a volcanic change. 0 With Ir δ+ The overall catalytic activity is the highest when the ratio is about 1:1, and the temperature at which the NOx conversion rate reaches 50% (T 50 ) is the lowest. When only the first ligand (Comparative Example 2) or the second ligand (Comparative Example 3) is used to coordinate with the metal Ir, the technical effect achieved by the embodiment of the present application cannot be achieved, which further indicates that the appropriate Ir 0 With Ir δ+ The relative content ratio of can effectively promote the increase in the number of active sites, thereby improving the catalytic performance of the catalyst.

[0120] 3. XRD test

[0121] Figure 1The XRD spectra of the catalysts prepared in Example 3 and Comparative Example 1 (where Ir@A represents Example 3 and Azeolite represents Comparative Example 1) are shown. Compared with the standard spectra, both Example 3 (i.e., Ir@A) and Comparative Example 1 (i.e., Azeolite) have characteristic peaks of type A molecular sieve, indicating that the carrier is successfully synthesized and the introduction of Ir does not destroy the molecular sieve structure. No obvious characteristic peak of Ir was observed in Example 3 (Ir@A), indicating that Ir is evenly dispersed on the carrier. The silicon-aluminum ratio and hydrothermal crystallization reaction time in the preparation process of Example 1, Example 2 and Example 3 are the same, and the type of molecular sieve carrier obtained is the same. After testing, the XRD spectra of the catalysts prepared in Example 1 and Example 2 are consistent with those in Example 3 and are not listed again.

[0122] 4. Catalyst morphology characterization

[0123] The catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 2 to 3 were subjected to TEM experiments. The sizes of 100 nanoclusters were counted in randomly selected areas, and a particle size distribution graph was drawn.

[0124] Figure 2 TEM image of the catalyst prepared in Example 2, Figure 4 The particle size distribution diagram of Ir nanoclusters in the catalysts prepared in Examples 1 to 3 and Comparative Examples 2 to 3. It can be seen from the TEM image that the Ir nanoclusters are relatively evenly dispersed on the molecular sieve carrier. It can be seen from the particle size distribution diagram that the sizes of Ir clusters are mainly in the two ranges of less than 0.8nm and 1 to 2nm. The proportion of clusters with a particle size of 1 to 2nm in the catalysts of Examples 1 to 3 gradually increases, and the proportion of clusters with a particle size of less than 0.8nm decreases successively. The particle size of the Ir clusters of the catalyst of Comparative Example 2 is mainly concentrated in the range of less than 0.8nm, indicating that its particle distribution is smaller and more concentrated. The Ir clusters of the catalyst of Comparative Example 3 are highly concentrated in the range of 1 to 2nm (the proportion is close to 90%), while the proportion of Ir clusters less than 0.8nm is relatively small. And as the proportion of the two ligands added is different, the proportion of clusters of different sizes is different, and the proportion of clusters of different sizes is similar to that of Ir. δ+ and Ir 0 The proportion trend (XPS results) is basically consistent.
