Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a rare earth-modified Pt-based catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of CO and its preparation method. It can be used to remove CO from tail gases of sintering, coking, and heating furnaces, while recovering the heat of reaction, thus achieving efficient utilization of resources. It belongs to the field of environmental engineering. Background Technology
[0002] Waste gas emitted from steel sintering, coking, and other production processes contains large amounts of CO. Due to its colorless, odorless, and highly toxic properties, it is considered a very dangerous and harmful gas, attracting increasing attention, and various regions have introduced CO-related emission standards. Catalytic oxidation is considered the most effective and economical method for CO removal due to its high efficiency and low-temperature reaction. However, the low temperature of sintering flue gas in the steel industry, along with the presence of certain concentrations of SO2 and H2O, can poison CO oxidation catalysts. Therefore, improving the low-temperature activity and sulfur and water resistance of CO oxidation catalysts is crucial for their industrial application.
[0003] CN117123259A discloses a method for preparing a sulfur-resistant Pt-based CO oxidation catalyst and the catalyst itself. The method utilizes the large anionic groups in the ammonium phosphomolybdate within the modified support to adsorb Pt from a platinum nitrate solution. 2+ A sulfur-resistant Pt-based CO oxidation catalyst was prepared using this method. The resulting catalyst achieved a high CO conversion rate at 160–180 °C and operated stably at 220 °C, 50 ppm SO2, and 10% H2O. However, the catalyst in this method suffers from poor low-temperature CO oxidation activity and a high sulfur-resistant temperature.
[0004] CN111185167B discloses a Pt-based catalyst for CO purification, its preparation method, and its uses. The Pt-based catalyst uses TiO2 as a support, with Pt as the main active component, CeO2 as the first co-active component, and WO3 and / or MoO3 as the second co-active component. This Pt-based catalyst exhibits high CO catalytic oxidation efficiency and sulfur resistance. However, this method suffers from a high operating temperature (220 °C) under simulated flue gas conditions (CO content 7200 ppm, O2 content 16%, SO2 content 50~500 ppm, N2 as the balance gas).
[0005] CN108855069B discloses a method for preparing a nanorod-shaped Pt / CeO2 supported catalyst. The method uses a Ce-containing metal-organic framework as a template / precursor, utilizing the porosity and large specific surface area of the metal-organic framework to load Pt nanoparticles onto its surface. Subsequent drying and high-temperature calcination treatments yield a nanorod-shaped Pt / CeO2 supported catalyst for low-temperature CO catalytic oxidation. The prepared catalyst has advantages such as low Pt loading, good dispersibility, and controllable microstructure. It also exhibits excellent low-temperature CO catalytic oxidation performance. However, the catalyst preparation method in this scheme is complex, making mass production difficult and limiting its industrial application prospects.
[0006] CN113680352A discloses a low-loading Pt-Mn bimetallic catalyst for CO oxidation, its preparation method, and its application. This invention uses TiO2 as a support, with elemental Pt and / or Pt oxides as the first active component and manganese oxides as the second active component. The synergistic effect between the first and second active components significantly reduces the amount of precious metals Pt and Mn used. Compared with traditional catalysts, this catalyst exhibits high resistance to water and sulfur, low loading of active components, and high CO oxidation efficiency. However, this approach also suffers from the problem of high operating temperature (240 °C) under simulated flue gas conditions (CO content 7000 ppm, O2 content 16%, H2O content 10%, SO2 content 50~500 ppm, N2 as the balance gas).
[0007] Furthermore, previous studies have shown that adding an appropriate amount of CeO2 can significantly improve the CO catalytic oxidation activity and SO2 resistance of Pt / TiO2 catalysts. This effect is attributed to the increase in adsorbed oxygen species and the preferential binding of CeO2 with SO2. Therefore, modifying Pt-based catalysts with other rare earth oxides is a promising strategy to simultaneously improve low-temperature CO oxidation activity and sulfur resistance.
[0008] The purpose of this invention is to provide a rare earth-modified Pt-based catalyst for catalytic oxidation of CO and its preparation method. The catalyst is simple to prepare, suitable for large-scale production, and has excellent catalytic performance. It can achieve complete CO conversion at 120~130 ℃ and has good sulfur and water resistance under low temperature (200 ℃) and low oxygen (5% O2) atmosphere conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0009] To address the characteristics of low-temperature sintering flue gas in the steel industry, which contains high concentrations of CO and certain concentrations of SO2 and H2O, this invention provides a rare-earth-modified Pt-based catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of CO and its preparation method. The rare-earth oxide is precisely deposited near the noble metal Pt, which not only improves the dispersion of Pt but also provides new adsorption sites for H2O and SO2, effectively protecting the Pt sites from poisoning by H2O and SO2. The catalyst preparation process is simple, suitable for large-scale production, and exhibits excellent catalytic performance, achieving complete CO conversion at 120–130 °C. Furthermore, the catalyst demonstrates good resistance to sulfur and water (15% H2O, 50 ppm SO2) under low-temperature (200 °C) and low-oxygen (5% O2) atmospheres, maintaining a catalytic CO oxidation efficiency of over 99% after 72 hours of testing.

[0037] Test Example 1:
[0038] CO catalytic oxidation experiments were conducted using catalyst #1 from Example 1, catalyst #2 from Example 2, and catalyst #3 from Example 3, respectively. The flue gas composition during the tests was: CO content 8000 ppm, O2 content 5%, N2 as the balance gas, and a mass hourly space velocity (MSV) of 45000 mL g. -1 h -1 The CO catalytic efficiency of each catalyst as a function of temperature is shown in the following curves. Figure 1 As shown in the figure, the lowest temperature at which catalyst #1 achieves complete CO conversion is 140 ℃, while the lowest complete CO conversion temperatures for catalysts #2 and #3 are 130 ℃ and 120 ℃, respectively. This demonstrates that rare earth modification effectively improves the low-temperature activity of Pt-based catalysts for CO catalytic oxidation.
[0039] Test Example 2:

The CO catalytic efficiency of each catalyst versus time curves are shown below. Figure 2As shown, during the 72-hour sulfur and water resistance test, the CO conversion rate of catalyst #1 exhibited a slight fluctuation but generally decreased, dropping from an initial 100% to a final 77.8%. In contrast, catalysts #2 and #3 maintained a CO conversion rate exceeding 99% throughout the entire 72-hour sulfur and water resistance test. Clearly, rare earth modification improved the sulfur and water resistance performance of the Pt-based catalysts.
