Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of atmospheric pollutant removal technology, and specifically relates to a method for preparing a water- and sulfur-resistant ultra-low temperature CO oxidation catalyst. Background Technology

[0002] Carbon monoxide (CO) is one of the main pollutants emitted during industrial production. It can enter the lungs through the respiratory tract, causing diseases such as bronchitis and emphysema, seriously endangering human health. In recent years, emission standards have become increasingly stringent to reduce CO pollution. Catalytic oxidation of CO has long been the dominant CO removal technology globally, widely used in the treatment of waste gas from both mobile sources (such as automobiles and diesel vehicles) and stationary sources (such as the steel, coking, and cement industries). Currently, noble metal (such as Pt, Pd, and Au) based catalysts remain the mainstream catalysts for CO catalytic oxidation. However, the waste gas emitted by most industries currently contains H2O and SO2. Noble metal-based catalysts are susceptible to H2O and SO2 poisoning under low-temperature conditions, severely limiting their practical application. The poisoning mechanism mainly involves SO2 being oxidized to SO3 by the active lattice oxygen on the support surface, which then reacts with H2O to form H2SO4. This H2SO4 causes sulfation of the support surface, forming sulfates, which hinder the migration of active lattice oxygen to the noble metal active sites, ultimately leading to a significant decrease in the catalyst's CO oxidation performance.

[0003] To improve the water and sulfur resistance of noble metal-based CO catalysts, researchers have conducted extensive and in-depth studies in recent years. For example, Chinese patent application CN114950469A reports a CO catalyst with cobalt, cerium, and manganese oxides as active components, which performs well under conditions of 130 °C, 20 vol% H₂O, 500 ppm SO₂, 1 vol% CO, and a space velocity of 20,000 h⁻¹. -1 Under the specified reaction conditions, its CO conversion rate can reach approximately 90%. Furthermore, according to publicly available literature (Angew. Chem. Int. Ed. 2023, 62, e202310191), the Pd / TiO2-400 catalyst, under conditions of 120℃, 10 vol% H2O, 100 ppm SO2, 1 vol% CO, and a space velocity of 20000 h⁻¹, achieves a CO conversion rate of approximately 90%. -1 Under these conditions, the CO conversion rate remained around 96% after 100 hours of continuous operation. However, the catalyst's water and sulfur resistance decreased sharply below 120°C. Many real-world industrial environments present low-temperature, high-humidity, and high-sulfur scenarios: for example, the exhaust gas temperature during a cold start of a diesel generator can drop as low as 100°C; and the temperature of flue gas from waste incineration, steel, and cement industries after wet desulfurization is generally below 100°C. Such conditions typically require additional heating to meet the operational requirements of the precious metal catalyst, increasing treatment costs.

[0004] Therefore, in order to effectively reduce the cost of CO removal in industrial processes, it is urgent to develop noble metal-based CO oxidation catalysts with excellent catalytic activity and water and sulfur resistance at ultra-low temperatures (<120℃) to meet the current severe environmental protection and practical application requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0005] The purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a water- and sulfur-resistant ultra-low temperature CO oxidation catalyst, so as to solve the problem of insufficient water resistance and sulfur resistance of existing noble metal-based CO oxidation catalysts under ultra-low temperature conditions, and thus promote the industrial application of this catalyst in harsh ultra-low temperature environments.

[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:

[0007] A method for preparing a water- and sulfur-resistant ultra-low temperature CO oxidation catalyst includes the following steps:

[0008] (1) Mix silicon source, alkali source, template agent and water evenly, place in a reaction vessel lined with polytetrafluoroethylene, crystallize at 150-180℃ for 1-6 days, filter, dry and calcine the crystallized product to obtain α-SiO2.

[0009] (2) α-SiO2 was placed in HF solution for functionalization treatment, and then washed, filtered and dried to obtain product A;

[0010] (3) React product A with methyl silicon trichloride solution, then wash and dry to obtain product B;

[0011] (4) The product B is mixed with the noble metal precursor solution and grafted. Then it is dried and calcined to obtain the noble metal-based CF-α-SiO2 catalyst.

[0012] In step (1), the amounts of silicon source, alkali source, template agent and water added meet the following molar ratio conditions: 1SiO2 / 0.01~2Na2O / 0.01~1.5 template agent / 60-100H2O.

[0013] In step (1), the silicon source is one or a mixture of several of silica sol, kaolin, amorphous SiO2, and sodium metasilicate; the alkali source is a 0.5 mol / L NaOH solution; and the template agent is one or a mixture of glucose, tetraethylammonium hydroxide, adamantane, cyclohexylamine, and tetraethylammonium bromide.

[0014] In step (1), the roasting temperature is 750-850℃ and the time is 5.5-6.5h.

[0015] In step (2), the ratio of α-SiO2 to HF solution is 3g:2.25~9mL.

[0016] In step (2), the temperature of the functionalization treatment is 60-100℃, the time is 2-6h, and the drying temperature is 75-85℃.

[0017] In step (3), the ratio of product A to methyltrichlorosilane is 1g:0.2-3mL.

[0018] In step (3), the reaction temperature is 25-60℃, the reaction time is 15-45 min, and the drying temperature is 45-80℃.

[0019] In step (4), the noble metal precursor is one or a mixture of several of the following: chloroplatinic acid, platinum nitrate, tetraammineplatinum nitrate, chloropalladium acid, palladium nitrate, palladium acetate, ammonium tetrachloroaurate, and chloroauric acid.

[0020] In step (4), the mass ratio of product B to the noble metal precursor solution is 1:0.001 to 0.5.

[0021] In step (4), the grafting reaction is carried out at a temperature of 60-80°C for 6-12 hours.

[0022] In step (4), the drying temperature is 55-65℃, the calcination temperature is 400-600℃, and the time is 3-8h.

[0023] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows:

[0024] 1. The noble metal-based CF-α-SiO2 catalyst prepared in this invention uses α-SiO2 with a (101) crystal plane as a support and combines an inorganic anchoring-organic grafting strategy to construct a synergistic water- and sulfur-resistant system on this crystal plane. This system can effectively prevent the oxidation of SO2 on the active lattice oxygen on the support surface and its reaction with H2O to generate H2SO4. Compared with the prior art, this strategy more comprehensively and efficiently solves the problem of easy deactivation of noble metal-based CO oxidation catalysts under the coexistence of H2O and SO2.

[0025] 2. Compared with existing low-temperature, water- and sulfur-resistant CO oxidation catalysts, the noble metal-based CF-α-SiO2 catalyst synthesized by this method exhibits a significant component synergistic effect. After stepwise treatment with HF and methyltrichlorosilane, the α-SiO2(101) crystal facet forms a rich Si-FOC-Si bond structure, and noble metals (such as Pt) can be precisely loaded onto these bond sites through organic grafting. Among them, C atoms have a reducing effect on SO2, inhibiting the oxidation of SO2 on the active lattice oxygen on the support surface; while FO bonds can rapidly provide active oxygen species for Pt sites, promoting the oxidation reaction of CO on Pt. In addition, the formation of Si-FOC-Si bonds changes the surface electronic structure of the α-SiO2(101) crystal facet, which helps to suppress the adsorption of H2O and SO2 on the catalyst surface. Therefore, this catalyst system exhibits excellent ultra-low temperature water and sulfur resistance performance.

[0026] 3. The noble metal-based CF-α-SiO2 catalyst prepared by this method has excellent water and sulfur resistance, and the CO removal rate can reach more than 98.5% at 80-110℃. Attached Figure Description
