[0002] In all NO x Nitrous oxide (N2O) has received increasing attention in recent years as a novel and significant pollutant. N2O is a much stronger greenhouse gas than CO2, with an effect nearly 300 times greater under the same conditions. Furthermore, due to its highly stable structure, it has a remarkably long lifespan, persisting in the atmosphere for over 150 years and capable of diffusing into the stratosphere to deplete the ozone layer. It is considered the most important stratospheric ozone-depleting substance of the 21st century.

[0003] For diesel engines commonly used in heavy-duty trucks and cargo ships, the SCR reactor based on the NH3-SCR reaction process is an essential NO removal device for every engine. x Post-treatment equipment. As the problem of vanadium-based catalysts (V₂O₅) being easily poisoned and deactivated at high temperatures becomes increasingly apparent, copper-based molecular sieve catalysts (Cu / SSZ-13), which exhibit stronger low-temperature activity, greater hydrothermal stability, a wider effective catalytic temperature range, and are more economical and practical, are gradually becoming the main NO control equipment for vehicles and ships. x Post-treatment catalysts for emissions.

[0004] Studies have shown that Cu-based catalysts already exhibit excellent SCR activity at 300℃, achieving conversion rates exceeding 90%, and maintaining high conversion rates between 300 and 500℃.

[0070] The following examples illustrate the copper-based molecular sieve catalyst and its preparation method provided by the present invention, as well as its application in the selective reduction of NO. x The applications described in detail are not intended to limit the scope of protection of this invention.

[0071] In the following embodiments and test examples, the catalyst performance testing system mainly consists of three parts: a gas path control module, a catalytic reaction module, and a gas concentration detection module. Figure 1 As shown.

[0072] In the gas path control module, standard gas cylinders provide the gases required for the reaction, such as O2, N2, N2O, NO, and NH3. A precisely calibrated mass flow meter controls the flow rate of each branch gas path. During experiments on the catalyst's water resistance, a constant-temperature water bath is used to heat distilled water to generate water vapor, and the water vapor content is determined based on the heating temperature and gas flow rate. Furthermore, to prevent water vapor condensation in the pipeline, a heating belt is wrapped around the inlet pipe for heating.

[0073] The catalytic reaction module mainly consists of two parts: a programmed temperature-controlled tubular furnace and a quartz tube reactor. Before the pretreatment experiment begins, the catalyst is filled into the quartz tube reactor, and both ends of the catalyst are plugged with quartz wool to prevent the catalyst from being blown into the subsequent gas pool and affecting the measurement results. Before the gas reaction officially begins, the catalyst needs to be pretreated. Pretreatment is carried out in a pure nitrogen stream, so the N2 gas control valve is opened to purge the air from the tube, and the furnace temperature is raised to 500℃ and maintained at this temperature for 60 minutes. After the pretreatment is completed and the furnace temperature drops to room temperature, the performance testing experiment begins. The performance testing temperature range is between 50℃ and 600℃, with a heating rate of 5℃ / min. Each sampling point is maintained for 10 minutes to ensure the reaction reaches a steady state.

[0074] The gas concentration detection module mainly consists of two parts: a Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and computer analysis software. All gas components measured by the testing equipment have been accurately calibrated using corresponding standard gas cylinders. During the experiment, the concentration of the reacting gases can be viewed in real time using dedicated computer software connected to the testing equipment.

[0075] The catalytic performance of the catalyst is mainly characterized by NO conversion rate, N2O decomposition / reduction efficiency, and N2O selectivity at different temperatures, and the calculation formulas are shown in Equations 1 to 3:

[0076] NO conversion = ([NO]) in -[NO] out ) / [NO] in ×100% Formula 1;

[0077] N2O conversion = ([N2O]) in -[N2O] out ) / [N2O] in ×100% Equation 2;

[0078] N2O selectivity = ([N2O]) out [NO] in Formula 3: ) × 100%.

[0079] In equations 1 through 3, [NO] in and [NO]out These represent the NO volume concentration at the reactor inlet and outlet, respectively, and [N₂O] concentration. in and [N2O] out This represents the volume concentration of N2O at the reactor outlet.

[0080] The following examples and test cases used inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP) to determine the Cu loading in copper-based molecular sieve catalysts.

[0081] Example 1

[0082] according to Figure 2 The preparation process flow chart for copper-based molecular sieve catalysts is as follows:

[0083] First, 52.83 g of TMAdaOH was mixed with 20 g of deionized water, then 5.15 g of Al(OH)3 was slowly added. Next, 10.0 g of a 20 wt% NaOH aqueous solution was added dropwise while stirring at room temperature for 20 min. Then, 150.00 g of the silicon source Ludox AS-40 was slowly added dropwise, and the mixture was further homogenized and stirred for 2 hours to obtain a gel composed of ANaOH: (0.5-A)TMAdaOH:0.033Al2O3:1SiO2:44H2O, where the A value was 0.25.

[0084] After obtaining the gel solution, it was placed in a reaction vessel and subjected to hydrothermal treatment at 180°C and a rotation speed of 40 rpm for 96 hours. The resulting sample was then filtered, washed three times, and the precipitate was collected to obtain the synthesized Na-type SSZ-13 molecular sieve precursor. This precursor was then dried in an oven at 100°C for 12 hours, and finally calcined in a muffle furnace at 550°C for 10 hours at a heating rate of 1°C / min to obtain the Na-type SSZ-13 molecular sieve. + / TMAda + The ratio is named Na-SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5).

[0085] After the Na-type SSZ-13 molecular sieve is prepared, it is placed in a 1 mol / L NH4Cl solution and subjected to ion exchange at 80℃ for 12 h to obtain NH4Cl. + Type SSZ-13 molecular sieve will yield NH4 + The SSZ-13 molecular sieve is filtered, washed, and dried.

[0086] Take 100 mL of a 1 mol / L Cu(NO3)2·6H2O solution, and add NH4 +SSZ-13 molecular sieve powder was placed in a solution and stirred at 80°C for 6 hours in a magnetically stirred water bath. The resulting mixture was filtered and washed three times, then dried in an oven at 100°C for 12 hours. Finally, the dried sample was placed in a muffle furnace and calcined at 550°C for 4 hours at a heating rate of 1°C / min to obtain a copper-based molecular sieve catalyst with a Cu loading of 1 wt%, denoted as Cu / SSZ-13(2.5 / 2.5).

[0087] Test Example 1: Different Na + / TMAda + Effect of ratio on SCR performance and N2O formation of Cu / SSZ-13 catalyst

[0088] Following the method described in Example 1, a Cu loading of 1 wt% and Na were prepared. + / TMAda + Cu / SSZ-13 catalysts prepared in proportions of 0 / 5, 1 / 4, and 2.5 / 2.5, both fresh and after hydrothermal aging (800℃, 12h hydrothermal aging treatment), were designated as Cu / SSZ-13(0 / 5)Fresh, Cu / SSZ-13(1 / 4)Fresh, Cu / SSZ-13(2.5 / 2.5)Fresh (i.e., Example 1), Cu / SSZ-13(0 / 5)Aged, Cu / SSZ-13(1 / 4)Aged, and Cu / SSZ-13(2.5 / 2.5)Aged, respectively. The difference between Cu / SSZ-13(0 / 5) and Example 1 is that the amount of NaOH aqueous solution added is 0.

[0089] The difference between Cu / SSZ-13(1 / 4) and Example 1 is that the amount of NaOH aqueous solution added is 4.0g.

[0090] The effect of the above catalysts on NO was determined. x The catalytic activity of NH3- in the standard SCR reaction and the production of N2O during the SCR process. Reaction space velocity: 60000 mL·g -1 ·h -1 The inlet gas conditions for the reaction are 1000ppm NO, 1000ppm NH3, 10% O2, and equilibrium gas N2.

However, when the temperature continued to rise above 400℃, due to the non-selective oxidation of NH3, the NO conversion efficiency of all molecular sieves decreased. x The conversion rates decreased to varying degrees. Among them, the Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst showed the smallest decrease in conversion efficiency and maintained a high conversion efficiency of over 80%. In contrast, the activity of the Cu / SSZ-13 (0 / 5) and Cu / SSZ-13 (1 / 4) catalysts decreased significantly, especially Cu / SSZ-13 (0 / 5), whose activity decreased by nearly 50%.

[0092] After hydrothermal treatment at 800℃, the three catalysts showed more obvious differences in high-temperature activity: the aged Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst showed better catalytic performance than the aged Cu / SSZ-13 (0 / 5) and Cu / SSZ-13 (1 / 4) catalysts in almost the entire temperature range.

[0093] The XPSCu 2p spectra of Cu / SSZ-13(0 / 5)Fresh, Cu / SSZ-13(1 / 4)Fresh, and Cu / SSZ-13(2.5 / 2.5)Fresh are as follows Figure 5 As shown. By Figure 5 As shown, the Cu2p orbital can be divided into two main peaks (Cu 2p1 / 2 and Cu 2p3 / 2) and one satellite peak (Sat.). The Cu 2p2 / 3 orbital contains two types of Cu active center peaks, located in the binding energy range of 934.8–936.2 eV and at 933.5 eV, respectively. Meanwhile, the Cu 2p2 / 3 orbital contains Cu... 2+ The binding energy of the peak is around 935.5 eV, while the peak binding energies of isolated Cu, CuO, and Cu₂O are all around 933.5 eV.

By Figure 6 , Figure 7 It can be seen that when the Cu loading is less than 1 wt%, the low-temperature activity of the Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst is poor, and the high-activity temperature range shifts to a later stage, reaching a conversion rate of over 90% only at around 350℃. However, with the increase of Cu loading, when the Cu loading exceeds 1 wt%, the overall low-temperature activity of the catalyst is significantly improved, reaching a conversion rate of over 90% at around 225℃ and maintaining a high conversion rate up to over 500℃. However, when the Cu loading exceeds 1 wt%, the high-temperature activity of the Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst decreases to some extent after 400℃. At a temperature of 550℃, the NO conversion rate of the Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst is 87%, while the Cu... 1.5 The / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst concentration dropped to 79%, at which point Cu... 0.5 The SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst has the highest NO content. x Conversion rate. Further analysis of N₂O generation in the SCR process using Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalysts with different Cu loadings revealed that N₂O generation at both high and low temperatures increased with increasing Cu loading.

[0108] Test Example 3: Effect of different reaction space velocities on SCR performance and N2O formation of Cu / SSZ-13 catalyst

[0109] Determination of the effect of catalyst in Example 1 on NO x The catalytic activity of the NH3-standard SCR reaction and the N2O production during the SCR process were determined. The reaction space velocities were 30000, 60000, and 90000 mL·g⁻¹. -1 ·h -1 The inlet gas conditions for the reaction are 1000ppm NO, 1000ppm NH3, 10% O2, and equilibrium gas N2.

By Figure 8 , Figure 9 It can be seen that as the space velocity gradually increases, the NO content of the Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst decreases across the entire temperature range. x The conversion efficiency gradually decreased, but it could still maintain a high conversion efficiency of over 90% between 225 and 400°C. However, as the temperature increased, the efficiency of the catalyst with the higher space velocity decreased faster in the experiment.

[0111] At different space velocities, the concentration of N2O generated by the catalyst showed the same trend: it first increased, then decreased, and finally increased again with increasing temperature, unlike NO. x Conversely, the N2O concentration decreased with increasing space velocity, especially at 30000 mL·g⁻¹. -1 ·h -1 Under low space velocity conditions, the concentration peak of N2O shifts to the left at low temperatures, appearing around 225℃. However, as the space velocity increases, the peak continuously shifts towards higher temperatures, reaching a peak at 90000 mL·g⁻¹. -1 ·h -1 At airspeed, the temperature reaches approximately 250°C.

[0112] Test Example 4: Water and Sulfur Resistance of Cu / SSZ-13 Catalyst

[0113] The H2O and SO2 poisoning performance of the Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst in Example 1 was tested at 250°C. The reaction gas conditions were 1000 ppm NO, 1000 ppm NH3, 10% O2, and equilibrium gas N2. The reaction space velocity was 60000 ml·g. -1 ·h -1 During the water resistance and sulfur resistance tests, an additional 10 vol.% H2O and 50 ppm SO2 were introduced, respectively.

[0114] The effects of H2O and SO2 on the performance of Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst at 250℃ are as follows: Figure 10 As shown. By Figure 10 It can be seen that under the standard SCR reaction gas conditions for the first 4 hours, the Cu / SSZ-13 (2.5 / 2.5) catalyst exhibits stable performance, and NO... x The conversion efficiency remained at around 100%, but after introducing 10 vol.% H2O gas at 4.5 h, the NOx conversion rate decreased significantly, dropping from 100% to around 84% within 0.5 h.

[0115] After closing the H2O gas line for 2 hours, opening the SO2 gas line and introducing SO2 at a concentration of 50 ppm resulted in NO being detected. x The conversion rate decreased to some extent, stabilizing at around 85% after 30 minutes. After shutting off the gas path, the SCR performance of the catalyst recovered somewhat, but did not return to the 100% level before SO2 was introduced, reaching only around 92%. Two hours later, the catalyst was subjected to desulfurization regeneration at 500℃ for 1 hour under a pure N2 atmosphere, and then placed back into a standard SCR gas atmosphere for further experiments. The results showed that it could essentially recover to 100% conversion rate.
