Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of nitrogen oxide catalytic reduction technology, and more specifically relates to a NO... x Preparation method and application of CO synergistic removal catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrogen oxides (NO) x Air pollution originates widely from stationary sources such as vehicle exhaust, steel metallurgy, and power generation, and its emissions have become a global air pollution problem. x Air pollution not only causes serious environmental problems such as acid rain and photochemical smog, but also poses long-term harm to the human respiratory system and ecosystems. Therefore, developing efficient and environmentally friendly denitrification technologies is of great significance for air pollution control. Currently, the mainstream denitrification technology is NH3 selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR), which uses ammonia as a reducing agent. However, it suffers from problems such as ammonia escape, inconvenient storage and transportation, and potential secondary pollution. In contrast, CO selective catalytic reduction of NO... x CO-SCR technology is receiving increasing attention because it can directly utilize the CO already present in industrial flue gas as a reducing agent, which not only simplifies the system process but also helps to synergistically remove multiple pollutants.

[0003] A key challenge facing CO-SCR catalytic systems is that industrial flue gas typically contains around 14–17% O2. The competitive adsorption and preferential reaction of O2 inhibits the reduction reaction between CO and NO, leading to decreased catalyst activity. Simultaneously, SO2, often present in flue gas, readily adsorbs strongly onto active sites or forms sulfate deposits, resulting in catalyst deactivation. Among numerous metal catalysts, Ir-based catalysts exhibit excellent CO-SCR activity under oxygen-enriched conditions due to their superior oxygen resistance.

[0004] However, existing Ir-based CO-SCR catalysts still face several bottlenecks. On the one hand, Ir, as a precious metal, is scarce and expensive, limiting its large-scale application. On the other hand, traditional preparation methods easily lead to Ir existing in an unstable metallic state on the support surface, rapidly forming an oxidized state under oxygen-containing atmosphere, causing catalyst deactivation. Therefore, improving the stability of metallic Ir species has become a problem that urgently needs to be solved by those skilled in the art. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a NO xThis invention presents a method for preparing and applying a catalyst for the synergistic removal of CO, addressing the problems of existing technologies. The invention employs a high silica-to-alumina ratio molecular sieve support to confine Ir-based bimetallic clusters. By pre-occupying hydroxyl sites on the surface of the high silica-to-alumina ratio molecular sieve support with an additive, the ordered combination of Ir ions and additive ions is achieved. Simultaneously, the charge density of the active sites is increased under the action of a liquid-phase reducing agent. The preparation method proposed in this invention is simple to operate, significantly shortening the catalyst preparation cycle and avoiding processes such as multi-step pH adjustment and multi-step calcination in a reducing atmosphere. In the obtained catalyst, the active component is in a stable metallic state, and NO is removed under an oxygen-containing atmosphere. x It has a significant effect in synergistic removal of CO.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution:

[0007] One of the technical solutions of this invention: provides a NO x A catalyst for the synergistic removal of CO is provided, wherein the catalyst comprises a high silica-to-alumina ratio molecular sieve support and an Ir-based bimetallic cluster; the molar ratio of Si to Al in the high silica-to-alumina ratio molecular sieve support is 5–80:1; the Ir-based bimetallic cluster comprises Ir ions and promoter ions; the promoter ions comprise one or more of In ions, Sn ions, and Bi ions.

[0008] Furthermore, the Ir-based bimetallic cluster is NO. x The active sites of the catalyst are removed in synergy with CO.

[0009] Furthermore, the NO x The catalyst for CO removal has abundant aluminum hydroxyl, silanol, and silanol-bridged hydroxyl sites.

[0010] Preferably, the high silica-to-alumina ratio molecular sieve carrier includes a ZSM type molecular sieve with a cross-channel structure, a SAPO molecular sieve with a cross-channel structure, a Beta molecular sieve with a cross-channel structure, an X type molecular sieve with a supercage structure, a Y type molecular sieve with a supercage structure, or an MCM type molecular sieve with a supercage structure, and preferably a Beta molecular sieve with a cross-channel structure.

[0011] Preferably, in the Ir-based bimetallic cluster, the loading of Ir element is 0.1–2 wt.%, and the loading of auxiliary element is 0.1–20 wt.%.

[0012] The second technical solution of the present invention: providing the above-mentioned NO x The preparation method of the catalyst for synergistic CO removal includes the following steps:

[0013] A silicon source, an aluminum source, an alkali, a template agent, and water are mixed to obtain a molecular sieve precursor solution; the molecular sieve precursor solution is subjected to a hydrothermal crystallization reaction to obtain a molecular sieve support.

[0014] Citric acid, the metal precursor of the additive, the molecular sieve support, and the solvent are mixed and then subjected to rotary evaporation, drying, and calcination to obtain a molecular sieve-supported metal catalyst with additives.

[0015] The metal precursor of Ir, the liquid-phase reducing agent, the molecular sieve-supported auxiliary metal catalyst, and water were mixed and then subjected to rotary evaporation, drying, and calcination to obtain the NO. x A catalyst for synergistic CO removal.

[0016] Preferably, the silicon source comprises one or more of water glass, tetraethyl orthosilicate, fumed silica, silica sol, and amorphous SiO2 powder; the aluminum source comprises one or more of sodium aluminate, boehmite, amorphous aluminum hydroxide powder, and aluminum isopropoxide; the alkali comprises NaOH and / or KOH; the template agent comprises one or more of tetramethylammonium hydroxide, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, trimethylethylammonium hydroxide, and tetrapropylammonium hydroxide; the solvent comprises water and / or ethanol; and the liquid-phase reducing agent comprises urea and / or sodium borohydride.

[0017] Preferably, the hydrothermal crystallization reaction is carried out at a temperature of 80–180°C for a time of 24–96 hours.

[0018] Preferably, the metal precursor of Ir is an aqueous solution of an Ir salt; the solute in the aqueous solution of the Ir salt includes one or more of iridium nitrate, iridium acetate, and chloroiridium acid; the metal precursor of the auxiliary agent is an aqueous solution of an auxiliary agent metal salt, which includes one or more of nitrate, acetate, and chlorate; the molar ratio of the metal precursor of the auxiliary agent to citric acid is 1 to 6:1; and the molar ratio of the metal precursor of Ir to the liquid-phase reducing agent is 1:1.5 to 3.

[0019] Preferably, the calcination temperature is 400–600°C, the time is 4–8 h, and the heating rate is 1–10°C / min.

[0020] This invention uses a thorough mixture of auxiliary precursors (In, Sn, and Bi), citric acid, and solvents (water and / or ethanol), which are then added to a molecular sieve support. Citric acid, as a tricarboxylic acid ligand, forms stable multidentate chelates with the auxiliary metal ions, significantly enhancing the solubility and spatial distribution uniformity of the auxiliary metal ions. It maximizes the occupation of aluminum hydroxyl, silanol, and silicoaluminobridged hydroxyl sites on the molecular sieve surface, preventing the aggregation of auxiliary metal ions. Simultaneously, citric acid also has a certain ability to regulate the surface structure of the molecular sieve support and can be used as an acid for acid treatment, modifying and expanding the pores in the molecular sieve, increasing the specific surface area available for metal loading. Finally, an Ir metal precursor, a liquid-phase reducing agent (urea and / or sodium borohydride), and water are thoroughly mixed and then added to the molecular sieve-supported auxiliary metal catalyst. Under the action of urea and / or sodium borohydride, Ir ions grow orderly at the auxiliary ion sites, forming specific crystal faces. Simultaneously, the charge density around the Ir-based bimetallic clusters increases, forming a stable metallic state.

[0021] The third technical solution of the present invention: providing the above-mentioned NO x The application of a CO-co-catalyst for the selective reduction of nitrogen oxides by carbon monoxide in stationary flue gas and / or mobile exhaust gas, wherein the nitrogen oxides in the stationary flue gas and / or mobile exhaust gas include NO; the stationary flue gas and / or mobile exhaust gas also include CO, O2 and SO2; the volume ratio of CO to NO in the stationary flue gas and / or mobile exhaust gas is >10:1; and the volume concentration of O2 is >15%.

[0022] Preferably, the catalytic selective reduction of nitrogen oxides by carbon monoxide in stationary source flue gas and / or mobile source exhaust gas is a CO-SCR reaction.

[0023] This invention provides a catalyst for the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx), employing an impregnation method assisted by citric acid and a liquid-phase reducing agent to achieve ordered loading and charge stability of Ir ions within a molecular sieve. This method avoids the precipitation of metal precursors under alkaline conditions and simultaneously promotes the ordered binding of bimetallic ions within the molecular sieve channels, providing valence states and stability for the bimetallic cluster active sites. This method not only solves the problems of difficult active site control, poor oxygen and sulfur resistance, and insufficient stability in existing catalysts, but also simplifies the traditional preparation process, shortens the preparation cycle, and reduces costs. The prepared catalyst exhibits excellent catalytic activity, is suitable for the efficient removal of NOx in complex flue gas environments, and has broad industrial application prospects.

[0024] This invention introduces p-block indium (In) and iridium (Ir) to synergistically construct a bimetallic catalytic site. In, with its large atomic radius and low electronegativity, promotes pd orbital coupling, alters the d-band center position of Ir, and effectively modulates the electronic structure of Ir, thereby optimizing its adsorption strength for key intermediates, reducing energy barriers in the reaction pathway, and accelerating the occurrence of critical reaction steps. Furthermore, Ir itself exhibits excellent antioxidant properties and low-temperature catalytic activity in the CO-SCR reaction; the synergistic doping of In further improves its stability and reaction selectivity, effectively enhancing the catalyst's reactivity and sustained performance under complex flue gas conditions.

[0025] To achieve the ordered aggregation and charge stability of In and Ir metal species within molecular sieves, this invention employs an impregnation method assisted by citric acid and a liquid-phase reducing agent for catalyst preparation. Citric acid, as a weak organic acid, not only forms stable chelate complexes with promoter metal ions, preventing precipitation side reactions under alkaline conditions, but also induces a slow-release process of promoter metal ions on the surface of the molecular sieve pores, thereby enhancing metal migration and entry capabilities and improving the dispersion of promoter metal ions within the molecular sieve. Furthermore, under the action of urea and / or sodium borohydride, Ir ions grow orderly at promoter ion sites, forming specific crystal faces, while the charge density around the Ir-based bimetallic clusters increases, forming a stable metallic state. Compared to traditional pH-adjusting processes, the method described in this invention is simple to operate, environmentally friendly, optimizes metal utilization efficiency, and provides a feasible route for constructing high-performance catalytic materials for CO-SCR reactions.

[0026] The present invention discloses the following technical effects:

[0027] (1) The NO designed in this invention x The catalyst for CO removal works in synergy with the use of a high silica-to-alumina ratio molecular sieve as a support, which limits the number of hydroxyl groups used for anchoring active metals. By pre-occupying hydroxyl sites on the surface of the high silica-to-alumina ratio molecular sieve support with auxiliary metal ions, the orderly combination of Ir ions and auxiliary ions is achieved.

[0028] (2) This invention employs an impregnation method using citric acid and a liquid-phase reducing agent to prepare the catalyst. Citric acid can form chelates with metal ions, avoiding precipitation side reactions under alkaline conditions and improving the dispersion of the auxiliary metal ions within the molecular sieve. Under the action of urea and / or sodium borohydride, Ir ions grow orderly at the auxiliary ion sites, forming specific crystal faces. Simultaneously, the charge density around the Ir-based bimetallic clusters increases, forming a stable metallic state. This method is simple, environmentally friendly, and suitable for large-scale preparation. The resulting catalyst exhibits good thermal stability and reaction selectivity, contributing to the realization of NO x It can efficiently remove pollutants and avoid secondary pollution.

After the hydrothermal reaction, the molecular sieve was centrifuged at 4000 rpm for 20 min and washed multiple times until pH = 7. It was then dried in air at 100 °C for 12 h and heated at a rate of 1 °C / min to 550 °C for 6 h to obtain ZSM-5 molecular sieve carrier powder.

[0093] Effect verification:

[0094] 1. Performance testing of CO-SCR catalysts with different metal active components:

[0095] Take 0.200g of the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4, and conduct experiments respectively, as follows:

[0096] The catalyst was placed in a stationary reactor with NO concentration of 400 ppm, CO concentration of 8000 ppm, O2 concentration of 15 vol.%, SO2 concentration of 100 ppm, N2 as the balance gas, and a space velocity of 10000 h⁻¹. -1 The conversion rate of nitrogen oxides of the catalyst at different reaction temperatures (reaction time of 1 h) and at different reaction times (reaction temperature of 250 °C) was tested, and the results are shown in Table 1 and Table 2.

[0097] Before formal performance testing, all catalysts were pretreated. The pretreatment steps were as follows:

[0098] The catalyst was pretreated at 400℃ in a 5 vol.% H2 gas stream (N2 as the balance gas) for 30 min to improve its catalytic activity. Tables 1 and 2 show the nitrogen oxides (NOx)... x Conversion rate (μ) NO x The calculation method is shown in Equation 1-1. The real-time changes in the specific gas concentration during the experiment were determined by Bruker Tensor II infrared spectroscopy. The product of complete catalytic reduction is N2.

[0099]

[0100] Table 1

[0101]

[0102] Table 1 shows the conversion rates of nitrogen oxides by the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 at different temperatures under conditions of 15 vol.% O2 concentration and 100 ppm SO2 concentration. It can be seen that Examples 1-3 exhibit superior catalytic activity at 225-300℃, and Example 2 shows slightly higher activity than Example 1, indicating that sodium borohydride is more effective as a liquid-phase reducing agent than urea. Example 1 shows slightly higher activity than Example 3, indicating that using a Beta-type molecular sieve as a support is more effective than using a ZSM-5-type molecular sieve. The peak activity (250℃) of Comparative Example 1 decreased by approximately 40-50% compared to Examples 1-3, while the peak activity of Comparative Example 2 decreased by approximately 70% compared to Examples 1-3, indicating a significant synergistic effect between the Ir and In bimetals, which can promote the adsorption and conversion of nitrogen oxides. Meanwhile, the performance of the In-based CO-SCR catalyst is very limited, with Ir being the main active site. The activity peak (250°C) of Comparative Example 3 decreased by approximately 40% compared to Example 1, but was slightly higher than that of Comparative Example 1, indicating that the synergistic effect between the Ir and In bimetals is more significant than the particle size effect of the Ir monometal. The activity peak (250°C) of Comparative Example 4 decreased by approximately 50% compared to Example 1, indicating that the liquid-phase reducing agent can increase the valence state of the bimetallic clusters, thereby increasing the activity peak.

[0103] 2. Stability Test:

[0104] Table 2

[0105]

[0106] Table 2 shows the conversion rates of nitrogen oxides by the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 at different reaction times under conditions of 15 vol.% O2 concentration and 100 ppm SO2 concentration. It can be seen that Examples 1-3 maintained good stability within 13 hours. The activity of Comparative Example 1 began to decrease after 5 hours, indicating that the Ir active sites underwent irreversible changes under the influence of oxygen. Comparative Example 2 maintained good stability within 13 hours, but its activity was relatively low, indicating that the In active sites have a certain degree of oxygen resistance. Comparative Example 3 maintained good stability within 13 hours, indicating that the dispersibility of the bimetallic clusters mainly affects the catalytic activity and has a relatively small impact on stability. The activity of Comparative Example 4 began to decrease after 1 hour, indicating that the liquid-phase reducing agent plays a decisive role in the stability of the bimetallic clusters under high oxygen conditions.
