[0002] Among various volatile organic compounds (VOCs), chlorinated volatile organic compounds (Cl-VOCs) have received widespread attention worldwide due to their high environmental toxicity and persistent hazards. Cl-VOCs cannot be effectively degraded naturally, and most of those released into the environment accumulate. Chlorobenzene (CB) is a typical Cl-VOC commonly found in solid waste treatment, pharmaceuticals, and the chemical industry. Once released into the atmosphere, CB forms ozone, photochemical smog, and secondary organic aerosols, exhibiting high toxicity. Therefore, controlling CB pollution is crucial for reducing environmental risks. Summary of the Invention

[0003] Based on the above, this invention provides a catalyst for chlorobenzene purification and its preparation method. The catalyst for chlorobenzene purification is prepared by a reverse-supported dispersion process. The catalyst prepared by this method exhibits low-temperature purification performance for chlorobenzene (T90 = 290℃).

[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following solution: One of the technical solutions of the present invention is a method for preparing a catalyst, comprising the following steps: Copper salt and cerium salt are dissolved in water to obtain solution A; Oxalic acid solution was added to solution A and stirred to obtain a suspension; the suspension was centrifuged, and the resulting solid was washed by centrifugation until neutral, dried, and calcined to obtain the catalyst (reverse supported dispersion catalyst).

[0005] The second technical solution of the present invention is a catalyst prepared according to the above preparation method.

[0006] The third technical solution of the present invention is the application of the above-mentioned catalyst in the catalytic oxidation of chlorobenzene.

[0007] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: This invention utilizes a reverse-supported dispersion process to controllably deposit a conventional support onto an active component, preparing a highly active, low-energy-consumption reverse-supported dispersion catalyst. Using the active component as a support, this invention deposits a conventional support onto the active component, preparing a reverse-supported dispersion catalyst using a simple process for the low-temperature stable catalytic oxidation of chlorobenzene. This catalyst exhibits high activity at 30000 mL·g -1 ·h -1At a space velocity of 500 ppm chlorobenzene, a 90% conversion rate is achieved at 290℃ and a 50% conversion rate at 230℃, demonstrating excellent chlorine resistance. This can significantly reduce enterprise operating costs and effectively reduce the economic cost of commercial catalysts. Attached Figure Description
