Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of environmental catalysis and iron and steel sintering flue gas treatment technology. Specifically, it relates to a method for preparing a catalyst for low-temperature catalytic oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO) in iron and steel sintering flue gas. It is particularly aimed at the preparation method of a high-efficiency, sulfur-resistant, chlorine-resistant, and ammonia-resistant catalyst with γ-Al2O3 as support and cerium and cobalt as the main active components, and its application under complex flue gas conditions. Background Technology

[0002] Iron and steel sintering flue gas is one of the main waste gases generated during iron and steel production. Its composition is complex, containing not only CO but also impurities such as SO2, NOx, H2O, HCl, NH3, and dust. Furthermore, the flue gas temperature is relatively low (typically between 120–280℃). Currently, purification technologies for CO in iron and steel sintering flue gas mainly include catalytic oxidation, adsorption, and thermal combustion. Among these, catalytic oxidation is widely studied and applied due to its low operating temperature and high efficiency.

[0003] However, existing catalytic oxidation technologies still face many challenges. While noble metal catalysts (such as Pt / Al₂O₃ and Pd / Al₂O₃) exhibit high low-temperature activity, they are expensive and prone to irreversible poisoning in high-sulfur and high-moisture environments, leading to a sharp drop in activity and a shortened lifespan. Non-noble metal catalysts (such as transition metal oxides CuO, Co₃O₄, and MnO)... x While these methods have lower costs, they generally suffer from insufficient low-temperature activity (ignition temperatures are mostly above 200℃), poor resistance to poisoning (especially to SO2 and HCl), and easy sintering and deactivation under high-temperature conditions. In addition, traditional impregnation-calcination preparation processes often lead to uneven dispersion of active components, easily forming low-activity phases (such as CoAl2O4 spinel phase), further reducing catalytic efficiency.

[0004] Studies have shown that the rare earth element cerium (Ce) has a unique ability to store and release oxygen (Ce³). + / Ce 4+ Cobalt (Co)-based catalysts, with their redox pair properties and ability to promote CO oxidation, are widely used in catalyst modification. Cobalt (Co)-based catalysts also show good potential in CO oxidation. However, single-component catalysts still struggle to simultaneously achieve high activity, high stability, and strong resistance to poisoning. Therefore, developing a non-precious metal catalyst with multiple active components, excellent low-temperature activity, and strong resistance to poisoning has become a key research focus in the field of iron and steel sintering flue gas purification. Summary of the Invention

[0005] Based on the shortcomings of existing technologies, this invention proposes a method for preparing a catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of CO in sintering flue gas of iron and steel, specifically targeting the design, preparation, and application of a highly efficient, sulfur-resistant, chlorine-resistant, and ammonia-resistant catalyst with γ-Al2O3 as the support and cerium and cobalt as the main active components under complex flue gas conditions.

The pretreatment process includes using a tablet press to compress the substrate powder to a specified mesh size or crushing the spherical γ-Al2O3 to a specified mesh size and sieving it to form γ-Al2O3 particles. Then, the sieved γ-Al2O3 is soaked in ultrapure water, ethanol or other type I solvents to wash off surface impurities. After that, it is dried and calcined.
