Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a multi-element rare earth oxide composite catalyst, its preparation method, and its application in automotive exhaust catalysis. Background Technology

[0002] Amid the increasingly severe global energy crisis and environmental pollution, promoting the transition to clean energy has become a strategic priority for countries worldwide. With the continuous increase in the number of motor vehicles, exhaust pollution poses a growing threat to the ecological environment and public health, making the development of efficient exhaust purification technologies imperative. While currently widely used precious metal catalysts such as platinum (Pt), palladium (Pd), and rhodium (Rh) have some effectiveness, their scarcity and high cost make them unsuitable for large-scale applications. Therefore, developing novel ternary purification materials that combine high catalytic performance with low cost has become a key research direction for solving the problem of harmful gas pollution.

[0003] Rare earth oxides, due to their unique electronic structure, possess excellent optical, electrical, and magnetic properties, demonstrating great potential in material modification. Currently, catalytic applications of rare earth oxides mainly focus on La2O3, Ce2O3, or simple composites thereof, such as CN 107537488 A. This patent ball-mills zirconium oxide, cerium oxide, lanthanum powder, and alumina into nanocomposite powders, prepares a slurry, loads it onto a support, centrifuges it, impregnates it with palladium solution, and then produces a catalyst through a single-step calcination process. Because direct mixing and ball milling makes it difficult for the components to achieve simultaneous nanoscale uniform dispersion, the homogeneity of the composite system affects its intrinsic properties. Summary of the Invention

[0004] The purpose of this invention is to address the limitations of current technologies by providing a multi-element rare earth oxide composite catalyst, its preparation method, and its applications. This catalyst uses La₂O₃ and Nd-based oxides as raw materials, and achieves Nd oxidation state recombination through a solid-state reaction and valence state rearrangement under a specific oxygen partial pressure and high temperature and high pressure environment. 3+ To Nd 4+ The controlled oxidation and proportional conversion of rare earth oxides enhance the reactivity of the composite catalyst. The catalyst obtained by this invention can meet the catalytic requirements of different vehicle models, forming a formulation adapted to the catalytic requirements of various vehicles.

[0005] The technical solution of this invention is as follows: A multi-element rare earth oxide composite catalyst, comprising a support and a ternary composite material supported thereon; the support is γ-Al2O3, and the ternary composite material is a La2O3 phase and an Nd-O solid solution; The mass ratio of the carrier to the ternary composite material is 4:6 to 7:3. In the ternary composite material, the La2O3 phase accounts for 20wt%-40wt%, and the Nd-O solid solution phase accounts for 60wt%-80wt%; the Nd-O solid solution phase contains Nd 3+ / Nd 4+ Two valence states, the molar ratio of the two valence states is: Nd 3+ 35%-70%, Nd 4+ It accounts for 30%-65%.

[0006] The carrier is γ-Al2O3 with a size of 0.5-2μm. The ternary composite material agglomerates on the surface of the carrier to form fluffy particles, and the thickness of the ternary composite material attached to its surface is 0.1-0.5μm. The preparation method of the multi-element rare earth oxide composite catalyst includes the following steps: Step 1, (1) Add La2O3 and Nd2O3 to a ball mill jar with a ratio of 20wt%-40wt% for La2O3 and 60wt%-80wt% for Nd2O3 and stir to mix. Then put it into a muffle furnace and preheat it at 650-750℃ for 3-4 hours. (2) Seal the pretreated material into a HIP container and fill it with 90-110MPa of Ar and 0.1-0.5MPa of O2. Then keep it at 900-1150℃ for 2-3 hours and let it stand at room temperature to take out the La-Nd composite powder. When the O2 pressure is 0.2 ≤ P ≤ 0.5 MPa, the Nd element, Nd 4+ It accounts for 50%-65%, with the remainder being Nd. 3+ When the O2 pressure is 0.1 ≤ P < 0.2 MPa, the Nd element... 3+ It accounts for 60%-70%, with the remainder being Nd. 4+ ; Step two, The sintered La-Nd composite material powder was placed in a mortar and ground to less than 1 mm. It was then ball-milled in a ball mill at a ball-to-material ratio of 10:1 and a speed of 400-500 rpm for 5-6 hours to obtain La-Nd composite material powder with a particle size of 60-80 nm. Step 3, The La-Nd composite material powder obtained in step two was stirred with γ-Al2O3 slurry to obtain a mixed slurry; then PEG-PVA colloid was added and mixed, and dried at 80-90℃ for 6-12h to obtain a composite gel. Further, 50-100nm γ-Al2O3 powder is added to a 50%-75% concentration ethanol solution and ultrasonically dispersed for 30-60 minutes to form a γ-Al2O3 slurry with a concentration of 10-30wt%. Furthermore, 10-30g of composite material is added to every 100g of γ-Al2O3 slurry; Furthermore, PEG / PVA is mixed at a mass ratio of 3-5:1 to form a PEG-PVA colloid; the total colloid concentration reaches 3-10 wt%. Furthermore, the volume ratio of the mixed slurry to the PEG-PVA colloid is 1:0.5-1.5; Step 4, Stepped calcination process: (1) First stage: The composite gel obtained in step three is placed in a quartz tube and sealed. It is then placed in a tube furnace and heated at 15-25℃ / min to 300-400℃ and kept at that temperature for 2-3 hours. (2) Second stage: Continue heating in the tube furnace at 10-18℃ / min until it reaches 400-500℃, and hold for 4-5 hours; (3) Third stage: Continue to heat in the tube furnace at 0.5-1℃ / min to 700-800℃, hold for 10-13h, and cool naturally to room temperature to obtain a multi-element rare earth oxide composite catalyst with a diameter of 0.6-2.5μm and a fluffy microstructure. After stepwise calcination, the catalyst as a whole forms a clustered structure with the support as the core and the ternary composite material as the fluffy outer layer. This structure has a high specific surface area and a large number of exposed active sites, which can effectively adsorb and catalyze gaseous organic pollutants.

[0007] The aforementioned multi-element rare earth oxide composite catalyst is used as a catalyst for purifying automobile exhaust.

[0008] Specifically, for heavy-duty diesel vehicles: Nd 4+ The atomic ratio is 55%-65%; For traditional gasoline vehicles: Nd 3+ The atomic ratio is 60%-70%; For plug-in hybrid vehicles and similar models: Nd 3+ With Nd 4+ The atomic ratio is 45%-55%.

[0009] The essential features of this invention are: In this invention, La₂O₃ and Nd₂O₃ undergo a solid-state reaction and valence state rearrangement under a high-temperature and high-pressure environment with oxygen partial pressure. NdO₂ (Nd 4+ ) and Nd2O3 (Nd 3+ Electron transfer occurs between Nd and Nd, with some Nd... 3+ It is oxidized and reacts with La in the La2O3 lattice. 3+ A substitution reaction occurs, forming a La-Nd-O solid solution. The reaction pathway can be described as follows:

[0010] The resulting solid solution contains a mixed valence state structure of neodymium ions (i.e., Nd). 3+ / Nd 4+ (Coexistence) can achieve targeted catalytic performance for different exhaust gas environments.

[0011] The beneficial effects of this invention are: The catalyst prepared by this invention is a multi-element rare earth composite catalyst. By regulating the Nd valence state distribution and the La / Nd ratio, the catalytic ability of the catalyst is greatly enhanced, making the catalyst suitable for different vehicle models and possessing important application value in the field of automotive exhaust gas treatment technology.

[0012] This invention uses a stepped calcination process to form a fluffy spherical microstructure, which increases the contact area between the catalyst and the exhaust gas, improves catalytic performance, avoids the use of precious metals, and saves costs. Attached Figure Description
