Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of industrial tail gas treatment, and in particular to a chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst having high activity, resistance to chlorine poisoning, resistance to loss of active elements and high-temperature stability, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art

[0002] Chlorinated volatile organic compounds (CVOCs) are a type of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). Compared with ordinary VOCs, chlorinated VOCs have stronger carcinogenic, teratogenic and mutagenic abilities. When CVOCs are discharged into the atmosphere, they cause greater harm to human health and the environment. However, CVOCs are widely used in the fields of pharmaceuticals, chemicals, dyes, leather, electronics, etc., and they are irreplaceable. Therefore, it is impossible to completely avoid the use of CVOCs from the source. Tail gas treatment is a feasible solution to reduce the harm of CVOCs.

[0003] Catalytic combustion is one of the feasible technologies for treating VOCs. Under actual industrial conditions, CVOCs catalysts face technical difficulties such as low activity, chlorine poisoning, high temperature deactivation, and loss of active elements, which to some extent inhibit the application of this technology.

[0004] Chinese patent CN116251619B discloses an integral catalyst for catalytic combustion of chlorine-containing VOCs and its preparation method, which uses ruthenium (Ru) as an active element and simultaneously loads B and transition metals on molecular sieve-modified CeO2. The catalyst exhibits high activity, high stability, and strong resistance to chlorine poisoning.

[0005] A patent document with publication number CN102200287A discloses a method for eliminating chlorinated aromatic hydrocarbons by catalytic combustion, which mainly uses cerium oxide nanorods, nanocubes, and nanooctahedra as carriers to load precious metal ruthenium as a catalyst. The catalyst has high activity, generates no by-products, does not cause secondary pollution, has strong resistance to chlorine poisoning, and has a long catalyst life.

[0006] The catalysts mentioned in the above patent documents show certain industrial application prospects for chlorine-containing VOCs, but the concentration fluctuations of chlorine-containing VOCs in actual industrial waste gas lead to high temperature, high water vapor, and high concentration of acidic gas conditions. Under these conditions, the catalyst will also experience loss of active elements and sintering deactivation of the catalyst. Therefore, the catalytic combustion method to eliminate chlorine VOCs under actual industrial conditions still needs to overcome the above unfavorable factors. Summary of the invention

[0007] In view of the above technical problems and the deficiencies in the art, the present invention provides a chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst and a preparation method and application thereof.

[0009] The alkaline earth metal includes at least one of calcium, magnesium and barium.

[0010] The preparation method of the cerium-zirconium solid solution may include:

[0016] In the method for preparing the cerium-zirconium solid solution, the calcination time may be 3 to 5 hours, preferably 4 hours.

[0017] In the chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst, the molar ratio of cerium to zirconium in the cerium-zirconium solid solution may be 1:(0.1-0.4), preferably 1:(0.15-0.3), and further preferably 1:(0.2-0.3).

[0018] In the chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst, the mass ratio of the ruthenium to the cerium-zirconium solid solution may be (0.4-2):100, preferably 1.5:100.

[0019] In the chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst, the mass ratio of the phosphorus to the cerium-zirconium solid solution may be 1 to 5:100, preferably 1.5 to 3:100, and more preferably 2:100.

[0020] In the chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst, the mass ratio of the alkaline earth metal to the cerium-zirconium solid solution can be (1-10):100, preferably (2-5):100, for example, 2:100, 3:100, 5:100, etc.

[0021] [2] The method for preparing a chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst according to [1] comprises: loading active metal ruthenium, auxiliary phosphorus and auxiliary alkaline earth metal onto the surface of a carrier cerium-zirconium solid solution.

[0022] The preparation method of the chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst can load the active metal ruthenium, the auxiliary phosphorus and the auxiliary alkaline earth metal onto the surface of the carrier cerium zirconium solid solution by co-impregnation or step-by-step impregnation.

[0023] In some embodiments, the preparation method of the chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst adopts equal volume impregnation, and a solution containing a ruthenium precursor, a phosphorus precursor and an alkaline earth metal precursor is added to the carrier cerium zirconium solid solution, and then dried and calcined to obtain the chlorine-containing VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst.

Further, the chlorinated VOCs may include at least one of dichloromethane, chlorobenzene, and dichloroethylene. The chlorinated VOCs catalytic combustion catalyst can maintain high activity and stability under high water vapor, high temperature, and high concentration of chlorinated VOCs.

[0030] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0031] The catalyst of the present invention uses the noble metal Ru as an active element, and the cerium-zirconium solid solution is prepared by the citric acid complexation method. The cerium oxide surface in the cerium-zirconium solid solution has abundant lattice oxygen, and the introduction of zirconium oxide can greatly improve the high-temperature stability of the carrier. The additive P increases the acidity of the carrier surface and can improve the catalyst's anti-chlorine poisoning stability.

[0032] In actual exhaust gas conditions, the precious metal Ru is easily chlorinated during the reaction process, and the Ru element volatilizes under long-term and instantaneous high-temperature conditions, resulting in the loss of active components. Calcium, magnesium, and barium alkaline earth metals have electron-donating effects in the catalyst system of the present invention. Their introduction can protect the precious metal Ru, keep the precious metal Ru in a low-valent state, effectively inhibit the chlorination of the Ru element, and greatly reduce the loss of Ru.

[0033] The catalyst of the present invention has high activity, resistance to chlorine poisoning, resistance to loss of active elements and high temperature stability. In addition, the catalyst preparation method of the present invention is simple, the raw material source is wide, there is no special requirement for equipment, it is easy to prepare on a large scale, and has certain industrial application prospects.

[0067] Catalyst stability test:

[0068] 200 mg of the powder catalyst in Example 3 of 40-60 mesh was weighed and placed in a fixed bed reactor. Air at a flow rate of 83.3 mL / min was introduced into the reactor, wherein the concentration of dichloromethane in the air was 3000 mg / min. 3 , the total mass space velocity is 25000 ml / (h·g), where g is the mass of the catalyst. The reaction was continued at 300°C for 100 h. The catalyst activity at different reaction times was recorded, and the corresponding results are shown in Table 4.

[0071] It can be seen from Table 1 that the catalyst involved in the present invention shows higher activity than the comparative example. Combined with Table 2, it can be seen that the cerium-zirconium solid solution carrier of Comparative Example 2 has relatively better high-temperature stability than the cerium oxide carrier of Comparative Example 1.

[0072] Combining Table 1 and Table 2, it can be found that the catalytic activity of the catalyst of the present invention remains basically unchanged after high temperature treatment at 650° C. The catalyst of Example 5 contains no alkaline earth metal, and the catalyst of Example 6 contains no phosphorus, and the high temperature stability of these two catalysts is significantly reduced.

[0073] It can be found from Table 3 that the catalyst involved in the present invention has no obvious deactivation of catalyst activity after being treated with high water vapor, high temperature and high concentration of HCl, and there is also no obvious loss of active elements. The catalyst of Example 5 has no alkaline earth metal, and the active metal ruthenium has obvious loss. Comparing Comparative Examples 1 and 2, it can be found that the use of a carrier cerium-zirconium solid solution is also helpful for the inhibition of active metal ruthenium compared to the carrier cerium oxide. Comparing Example 5 and Comparative Example 2, it can be found that the introduction of phosphorus can also inhibit the loss of active metal ruthenium to a certain extent. From the comparison of Examples 5, 6 and Comparative Example 2, it can be found that compared with phosphorus, alkaline earth metals have a greater effect in inhibiting the loss of active metal ruthenium.

[0074] Table 4 shows that the catalyst involved in the present invention has higher stability.

[0075] In summary, the catalyst involved in the present invention has high activity, resistance to chlorine poisoning, resistance to loss of active elements and high temperature stability.
