[0017] Unless otherwise specified, all raw materials used in this invention are commercially available products well known in the art.

[0020] In this invention, the concentration of cerium nitrate in the mixed solution is 5 mol / L; the molar ratio of cerium nitrate to aluminum nitrate is 10:1.

[0021] After obtaining the mixed solution, the present invention adds ammonia water to the mixed solution to carry out a co-precipitation reaction, and separates the solid and liquid to obtain the precursor powder.

[0022] This invention does not impose special limitations on the concentration and amount of ammonia water, as long as the co-precipitation reaction is complete. Preferably, ammonia water is added under stirring conditions; after the ammonia water is completely added, stirring is preferably continued for 3 hours to complete the co-precipitation reaction.

[0023] The present invention does not have any special requirements for the solid-liquid separation method; any solid-liquid separation method well known in the art can be used, such as centrifugation.

[0024] After completing the solid-liquid separation, the present invention preferably further includes drying the resulting wet solid. In the present invention, the drying temperature is preferably 70°C, and the drying time is preferably 12 hours.

[0025] After obtaining the precursor powder, the present invention calcines the precursor powder to obtain the cerium oxide-aluminum oxide composite material.

[0026] In this invention, the calcination temperature is preferably 500°C; the calcination holding time is preferably 6 hours; and the calcination is preferably carried out in an air atmosphere.

[0027] The present invention provides a cerium oxide-aluminum oxide composite material prepared by the preparation method described above, comprising a CeO2 support and Al2O3 supported on the CeO2 support.

[0028] The present invention also provides the application of the cerium oxide-alumina composite material described above as a catalyst in the simultaneous catalytic oxidation of chlorine-containing volatile organic compounds and reduction of nitrogen oxides.

[0029] In this invention, the preferred temperature for the catalytic oxidation of chlorine-containing volatile organic compounds and reduction of nitrogen oxides is 350~450℃, and in specific embodiments it can be 350, 375, 400, 425 or 450℃.

[0030] In this invention, the space velocity for the simultaneous catalytic oxidation of chlorine-containing volatile organic compounds and reduction of nitrogen oxides is preferably 40,000 mL / (gh).

[0031] The following detailed description of the cerium oxide-alumina composite material, its preparation method, and its application provided by the present invention, with reference to specific embodiments, should not be construed as limiting the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0032] Example 1 Take 2.13g of aluminum nitrate hexahydrate (analytical grade), dissolve it in 100mL of deionized water, stir at room temperature until completely dissolved, and prepare a solution with a concentration of 1mol / L.

[0033] Take 43.42 g of cerium nitrate hexahydrate (analytical grade), dissolve it in 100 mL of deionized water, stir at room temperature until completely dissolved, and prepare a solution with a concentration of 10 mol / L.

[0034] The two precursor solutions were mixed, and ammonia was added dropwise until complete precipitation. The mixture was stirred vigorously at room temperature for 3 hours. The sample was then separated using a centrifuge and stored in a vacuum drying oven at 70°C for 12 hours to obtain the precursor powder.

[0035] The obtained precursor powder was calcined in a muffle furnace at 500°C for 6 hours to obtain the catalyst.

[0036] The prepared catalyst was characterized by XRD, and the results are shown in the figure. Figure 1 .Depend on Figure 1 It can be seen that the catalyst showed characteristic diffraction peaks of CeO2, and Al2O3 was not detected, indicating that Al2O3 was highly dispersed on the CeO2 surface and did not change the crystal structure of CeO2.

[0037] The catalyst was screened to 40-60 mesh for catalytic performance evaluation.

[0038] Performance testing The activity of the catalyst in the oxidation reaction was evaluated using chlorobenzene (CB) and nitric oxide (NO) as probe molecules in a quartz fixed-bed microreactor (6 nm inner diameter) under atmospheric pressure. The effluent gas from the reaction was detected using a Shimadzu gas chromatograph (GC-2014C), and the data were analyzed using the area normalization method. The reaction conditions were as follows: a mixed gas was introduced into the reactor, consisting of 500 ppm chlorobenzene + 500 ppm nitric oxide + 10 vol% O2 + N2 (equilibrium gas), and the space velocity was 40000 mL / (gh). The conversion rates of chlorobenzene and nitric oxide by the catalyst at different temperatures are shown in the figure. Figure 2 .

[0039] Depend on Figure 2 It can be seen that the conversion rate of chlorobenzene gradually increases with increasing reaction temperature, reaching over 60% when the temperature exceeds 350℃; and the catalyst achieves over 90% conversion of NO within the 300~450℃ range. This indicates that the catalyst prepared in this invention has a matched reaction temperature window in the thermocatalytic oxidation of chlorine-containing volatile organic compounds and the selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides.

[0040] Comparative Example 1 The catalytic performance was tested using commercially available vanadium-tungsten-titanium catalysts under the same conditions as in Example 1. The results showed that the catalyst prepared in this invention has a wider reaction window compared to the vanadium-tungsten-titanium catalyst.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the principle of the present invention, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
