Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of catalytic technology, and particularly relates to a water-resistant polycrystalline manganese oxide (MnO x ) catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application for catalytic ozonation to remove dimethyl sulfide. Background Art
[0002] Dimethyl sulfide (DMS) is a common sulfur-containing organic odorant, which widely exists in the exhaust gases discharged from industries such as agriculture and animal husbandry, municipal administration, and chemical industry. It has a very low odor threshold and poses a threat to human health. Ozone molecules have strong electrophilicity and are extremely likely to attack sulfur-containing groups rich in electrons.
[0003] The catalytic ozonation technology can further activate ozone through a catalyst to generate active free radicals, and can achieve efficient removal of sulfur-containing organic odors. Among them, manganese oxide catalysts have received extensive research and attention due to their low cost, rich defects, diverse crystal structures, etc. However, the oxygen vacancies in the MnO x catalyst are easily occupied by H2O as active sites and deactivated. Therefore, developing a water-resistant MnO x catalyst is of great significance for its practical application.
[0004] Existing strategies for improving the water resistance of MnO x mainly include element doping, surface treatment, hydrophobic material composite, etc., in order to reduce the affinity between oxygen vacancies and H2O. For example, patent application CN117504856A discloses a Bi-doped α-MnO2 for catalytic ozonation to remove VOCs, which can improve the water resistance under water vapor conditions. Another example is that patent application CN118161975A discloses a catalyst Mn@ZSM293-I with manganese loaded on confined zeolite, which is used to improve the performance of catalytic ozonation to remove methanethiol under water vapor conditions. However, these improvement strategies have problems such as complex preparation conditions, high cost, and easy deactivation of the catalyst. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The present invention provides a water-resistant polycrystalline manganese oxide catalyst, a preparation method thereof, and an application. Based on the in-situ L-T (layered-tunnel) transformation that easily occurs in layered manganese oxide δ-MnO2 in natural water bodies, the present invention synthesizes polycrystalline MnO x simultaneously having δ and α crystal forms through a simple solution chemistry method. The rich α-δ interface structure therein promotes the adsorption and dissociation of H2O on oxygen vacancies, induces the generation of active hydroxyl sites, which act as the activation sites of O3, thereby improving the catalytic ozonation performance under the condition of the presence of water vapor. The present invention proposes to construct polycrystalline MnO xThe strategy to improve the performance of catalytic ozonation for the removal of methyl mercaptan under humid conditions. The in-situ L-T (layered-tunnel) transformation synthesis method is applicable to the existing δ-MnO2 catalyst, with advantages such as low cost, mild conditions, and convenient popularization and application.

The steps are as follows: Potassium permanganate and manganese sulfate are dissolved in deionized water at a molar ratio of 5.8:1, and hydrothermal reaction is carried out at 200°C for 24 h. The solid product is collected, washed, and dried to obtain a δ-MnO2 sample. 2.0 g of δ-MnO2 is added to 200 mL of deionized water, and 1 mL of KOH solution (0.1 mmol K +) and 1.69 g of manganese sulfate monohydrate were stirred at 60 °C for 4 h. Subsequently, 2.72 mL of 98 wt% H2SO4 was added and stirring was continued at 60 °C for 2 h. After washing and drying the solid product, the catalyst sample Mn-SH of Example 1 was obtained.
