Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention belongs to the technical field of VOCs catalysts, and specifically relates to a high-temperature resistant and sulfur-resistant VOCs catalyst suitable for RTO, and a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are a general term for organic compounds produced in industrial and pharmaceutical production. At the same time, petrochemical, pharmaceutical, coating, printing and other industries also produce a large amount of VOCs gas. VOCs are key precursors to the formation of photochemical smog and secondary organic aerosols, and direct contact can cause multiple toxic effects on the human body.
[0003] There are two common treatment modes for removing VOCs, namely regenerative thermal oxidation technology (RTO) and regenerative catalytic combustion (RCO). In RCO, precious metal catalysts are often added into the combustion chamber to improve the purification efficiency of VOCs. However, the applicable temperature of the precious metal catalyst is 200℃-500℃, and high temperature will cause it to sinter and permanently deactivate. At the same time, since natural gas contains sulfur components, the precious metal catalyst has poor sulfur resistance and is difficult to meet actual treatment requirements. Regenerative thermal oxidation technology (RTO) uses ceramic thermal storage bodies (700-1200℃) to store the heat generated during the decomposition of organic waste gas, and uses the heat energy stored in the ceramic thermal storage body to preheat and decompose the untreated organic waste gas, so that the VOC in the waste gas is oxidized and decomposed into carbon dioxide and water. Therefore, it has the advantages of high purification efficiency, wide applicability and high heat recovery efficiency, but it is often used to treat medium and low concentrations (100-3500mg / m 3 When operating conditions are intermittent or VOC concentrations are low, large amounts of natural gas are consumed to maintain furnace temperatures and ensure acceptable purification efficiency. Maintaining high VOC purification efficiency in RTO while reducing energy consumption is a pressing challenge. Summary of the Invention

[0108] 2. Performance Verification
[0109] The high-temperature sulfur-resistant catalysts prepared in the examples and comparative examples were tested to examine the changes in their p-xylene removal rates over time in a sulfur-containing atmosphere and under long-term high-temperature conditions of 1000°C.
[0110] Test condition 1: temperature 700°C, xylene: 1000ppm, sulfur dioxide: 50ppm, water: 3%, volume space velocity: 30000 h -1 .
[0111] Test condition 2: temperature 1000°C, xylene: 1000 ppm, water: 3%, volume space velocity: 30,000 h -1 .
[0112] Table 1 shows the Bet data of macroporous alumina and modified macroporous alumina.
[0113] Table 1 shows the Bet data of macroporous alumina and modified macroporous alumina in Example 2
[0114]
[0115] As can be seen from Table 1, the Bet data of the modified macroporous alumina after aging at 1000℃ for 30h changes little. This is because the mesopores of the modified macroporous alumina account for 65% after aging, which is significantly higher than the 45% of the unmodified one, and the sintering resistance is enhanced; the specific surface area retention rate of the modified material after aging is 61.4%, while that of the unmodified one is only 31.4%, and the active sites after modification increase.
[0116] The set temperature of existing RTO reactors is often set at 850°C. When the catalyst prepared in this invention is added, the set temperature can be lowered to 700°C without affecting VOC removal efficiency, thereby reducing fuel consumption and lowering carbon emissions caused by natural gas combustion. Calculations show that lowering the set temperature of an RTO reactor from 850°C to 700°C reduces fuel consumption by over 30%, and the reduction in carbon emissions due to fuel consumption is close to one-third. The specific calculation process is as follows:
[0117]
[0118]
[0119] Figure 1 The high temperature resistant and sulfur resistant catalyst in Example 1-10, under test condition 1, changes in the removal rate of p-xylene over time. Figure 1 It can be seen that the test results of Examples 1-4 show that lanthanum-modified macroporous alumina is significantly superior to manganese, iron, and cobalt-modified systems in high-temperature sulfur-resistant VOCs catalytic applications. After the macroporous alumina is impregnated with lanthanum nitrate solution, it forms LaAlO3 with alumina during the calcination process, effectively inhibiting the phase transition of γ-Al2O3 to α-Al2O3 with low specific surface area above 800°C. However, the manganese and cobalt-modified systems have a larger specific surface area attenuation due to the weak metal-support interaction; secondly, La 3+ Strong alkaline sites (pH>9.5) are formed on the surface of alumina, which preferentially combine with sulfur-containing pollutants (such as SO2) to generate thermodynamically stable La2(SO4)3, thus avoiding the poisoning of active components by sulfur species; while sulfates of transition metals such as manganese and iron (such as MnSO4, FeSO4) are easily decomposed at high temperatures, resulting in the secondary release of sulfur and blocking the pores. In addition, the LaO formed after lanthanum nitrate impregnation x Nanoclusters (particle size 3-5nm) can serve as anchoring points to promote the subsequent uniform dispersion of platinum, while manganese and cobalt modified supports have low surface hydroxyl density, which easily leads to active metal agglomeration and reduces the density of effective reaction sites.
[0120] The test results of Examples 5-10 show that when modified macroporous alumina is added with different components and different molar ratios of second transition metal salts, the interaction between the multiple metals will have different effects on the sulfur resistance and high temperature resistance of the catalyst. The high content of lanthanum (0.7) improves the thermal stability of alumina and inhibits high temperature phase transition; the oxygen storage capacity of cerium (0.3) complements that of lanthanum, and at high temperature, Ce 3+ / Ce 4+ The redox cycle promotes the deep oxidation of VOCs; manganese dominates the active sites, and the high manganese loading (0.8) significantly improves the catalytic activity. X The multivalent states (Mn 2+ / Mn 3+ / Mn 4+ ) maintains a high oxygen mobility at high temperature, promotes the activation and breaking of C-H bonds in VOCs molecules. Compared with Example 6 (Mn=0.8 but Ce=0.2), Example 5 has a higher Ce content, which makes up for the activity attenuation of Mn after sulfur poisoning; the low Sn ratio (0.2) inhibits the sintering of active components through the strong interaction between SnO2 and active components (SMSI effect), and avoids excessive Sn (such as Sn=0.3 in Example 9) causing the active sites to be covered, thereby affecting the mass transfer efficiency.
[0121] Figure 2The change of the p-xylene removal rate over time in the high temperature resistant and sulfur resistant catalysts in Example 5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 under test condition 2. Figure 2 It can be seen that the test results of Example 5 and Comparative Examples 1-3 show that the catalyst prepared from ordinary alumina has the worst high temperature resistance, the modified alumina has poor high temperature resistance, the macroporous alumina has better high temperature resistance, and the modified macroporous alumina has the best high temperature resistance. This is consistent with the test data results in Table 1. Although the macroporous structure of macroporous alumina provides a channel for rapid diffusion of reactant and product molecules, allowing molecules to quickly enter and exit the carrier, reducing diffusion resistance and improving the efficiency of the catalytic reaction; the macroporous structure can also alleviate the thermal stress generated by the material during temperature changes. When the macroporous alumina is heated, due to the presence of pores inside the material, these pores can provide a certain space for the expansion of the material. When the temperature rises, the expanded part of the material can stretch into the pore space, thereby reducing the internal stress concentration caused by thermal expansion. This stress dispersion helps prevent the material from cracking or breaking due to excessive thermal stress, further enhancing the stability of the macroporous alumina in a high temperature environment. Transition metal-modified macroporous alumina has better performance. The addition of transition metals can effectively inhibit the phase change of alumina during the heating process, so that alumina maintains a relatively stable structure in a high-temperature environment, thereby maintaining a higher specific surface area and pore volume, and reducing sintering and agglomeration at high temperatures.
[0122] Comparative Example 4 uses the method of Example 1 in CN114950573B to prepare a macroporous alumina carrier to replace the lanthanum-modified macroporous alumina in Example 5. Its removal rate of xylene is low. First, in terms of crystal structure stability, the lanthanum-modified macroporous alumina forms LaAlO3 during calcination, inhibiting the phase transition from γ-Al2O3 to α-Al2O3, maintaining a stable structure and a large specific surface area to provide more active sites. The macroporous alumina in Comparative Example 4 has poor structural stability at high temperatures, easy attenuation of specific surface area, and reduced active sites; second, the dispersion of active metals is different. The LaO formed by lanthanum nitrate impregnation in the original document is not as good as the original document. x Nanoclusters can promote the uniform dispersion of active metals and increase effective reaction sites. The macroporous alumina in Comparative Example 4 lacks this mechanism, resulting in low dispersion of active metals and few effective reaction sites, which ultimately leads to low activity of xylene.
[0123] Comparative Example 5, in which only manganese nitrate was added as a transition metal salt, lacked the synergistic effects of the other metals, failing to fully utilize the advantages of each metal. This resulted in insufficient sulfur resistance and high-temperature resistance in the catalyst, which in turn affected the p-xylene removal rate. Comparative Example 6, while incorporating lanthanum nitrate and copper nitrate as transition metal salts, contained fewer metals than in Example 5, and the cation ratio was 1:1, not the optimized ratio used in Example 5. This combination and ratio was not conducive to the formation of efficient catalytic active centers and failed to achieve synergistic enhancement among the multiple metals, resulting in lower catalyst performance than in Example 5 and a lower p-xylene removal rate.
[0124] Figure 3 The surface XRD spectrum of the high temperature resistant and sulfur resistant catalyst of Example 2 is shown in FIG. Figure 3 It can be seen that lanthanum manganese in the catalyst forms a perovskite structure, and the lanthanum manganese perovskite skeleton can still maintain its crystal structure above 800°C, resisting high-temperature phase change through strong metal-oxygen bonds; the main function of tin is to resist sulfur.
