Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalyst technology, specifically relating to a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology

[0002] Nitrogen oxides (NO) x Photochemical smog is the primary pollutant emitted by both stationary and mobile sources, and is also known as photochemical smog, acid rain, and PM2.5. 2.5 The key precursors formed pose a significant threat to human health and the ecological environment. Ammonia selective catalytic reduction (NH3-SCR) is widely recognized as the most mature and efficient NO reduction method under oxygen-rich conditions. x End-of-pipe treatment technologies. However, commercial V2O5–WO3 / TiO2 catalysts have a narrow operating temperature window (300–400℃), high vanadium toxicity, and poor hydrothermal stability. Developing green, efficient, and wide-temperature-window alternative materials is urgently needed.

[0003] Copper-based small-pore molecular sieves have become the benchmark material for NH3-SCR due to their wide-temperature activity, high N2 selectivity, excellent low-temperature performance, and outstanding hydrothermal stability. Currently, the only commercially available Cu-SSZ-13 requires the use of expensive and environmentally unfriendly N,N,N-trimethyl-1-adamantane ammonium hydroxide (TMAdaOH), significantly increasing costs and environmental impact. Therefore, constructing a new generation of molecular sieve catalysts that do not require organic templates and possess both high denitrification activity and hydrothermal stability has significant scientific and industrial value.

[0004] ERI (Erythritolite) possesses a three-dimensional eight-membered ring channel (3.6 × 5.1 Å), and its unique "cage-channel" structure can effectively suppress low-activity CuO. x Clustering enhances N2 selectivity, achieving SCR comparable to CHA. However, the synthetic window for pure-phase ERI is extremely narrow, and existing studies mostly rely on organic templates: Wang et al. from Tianjin University ( Micropor. Mesopor. Mater. (2019, 279, 407-415) Using N,N-dimethylpiperidinium hydroxide (DMPOH) as a template and FAU molecular sieve as a silica-alumina source for hydrothermal conversion; Zhu et al., University of Tokyo ( Adv. Sci. 2024, 11, 2307674; J. Catal. (2020, 391, 346-356) uses tetrapropylammonium hydroxide (TPAOH) and hexamethylammonium bromide (C 12 H 30 High-silicon ERI (Si / Al = 9.1) was prepared using a dual organic template (Br2N2). However, the above process has high template costs and a significant environmental impact, and the resulting Cu-ERI is mostly in the form of particles / powders, resulting in high bed pressure drop, making it difficult to scale up directly to industrial applications.

[0005] Monolithic catalysts can grow zeolite layers on the surface of the support in situ, with the advantages of low pressure drop, high mechanical strength and easy modularization. However, ERI zeolites face a "silicon-aluminum ratio-stability-cost" triangle contradiction: high-silicon systems (Si / Al>8) have good hydrothermal stability, but require expensive templates and long crystallization periods; low-silicon systems (Si / Al<5) have abundant acid sites and ion exchange sites, high low-temperature activity, and wide temperature windows, but have insufficient hydrothermal stability. More troublesome is that under the conditions of no organic template and low silicon, OFF / ERI coexisting phases or dense mixed crystal layers are easily generated, blocking the channels, and so far the controllable construction of low-silicon pure-phase ERI on Al2O3 foam carriers has not been achieved. SUMMARY

[0039] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by a person of ordinary skill in the art without creative work fall within the protection scope of the present application.

[0040] Example 1 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which specifically comprises the following steps: Step 1: 0.5 g of ERI molecular sieve seeds were dissolved in 4.5 g of deionized water, and after being stirred uniformly, ultrasonic dispersion was performed for 10 minutes to prepare a uniform impregnation solution containing ERI molecular sieve seeds. Subsequently, the Al2O3 foam (height: 10 mm, diameter: 10 mm, Chengjunda New Material Technology Co., Ltd.) was slowly and vertically immersed in the impregnation solution, so that the seeds were uniformly loaded thereon. After being dried, the impregnation was repeated once again. Finally, the seed-coated Al2O3 foam was dried at 80°C for standby, thereby obtaining the seed-coated Al2O3 foam.

[0041] The process of the ERI molecular sieve seeds in Step 1 is as follows: Aluminum sec-butoxide was dissolved in tetraethylammonium hydroxide (TEAOH) to prepare an aluminum source solution. Subsequently, colloidal silicon oxide (containing 30% of SiO2 by mass fraction, Sigma-Aldrich Co.) was added dropwise into the aluminum source solution, which was transferred into a PP bottle and stirred uniformly. The PP bottle was placed in an oil bath at 90°C, and stirring aging was performed for 20 hours. After aging was completed, potassium hydroxide and hexamethonium bromide (C 12 H 30Br2N2) solution, and mixed well. Finally, the mixed solution was poured into a reactor and reacted at 150 °C for 120 hours. After the reaction, the product was sequentially subjected to centrifugation, drying and grinding operations, and calcined at 550 °C for 10 hours to remove the template agent, to obtain the final product; the molar ratio of the components in the form of oxides in the synthesis sol was n (SiO2) : n (Al2O3) : n (K2O) : n (TEAOH) : n (C 12 H 30 Br2N2) : n (H2O) = 1 : 0.03 : 0.09 : 0.8 : 0.13 : 25.

[0042] Step 2: First, potassium hydroxide (KOH), sodium hydroxide (NaOH), sodium fluoride (NaF), potassium fluoride (KF) and aluminum hydroxide were sequentially dissolved in deionized water, and after stirring until the solution was clear, colloidal silicon oxide (containing 30% SiO2 by mass, Sigma-Aldrich) was slowly added dropwise to form a synthesis sol, and the ratio (molar ratio) of the components in the form of oxides was n (SiO2) : n (Al2O3) : n (K2O) : n (Na2O) : n (H2O) : n (NaF + KF) = 1 : 0.015 : 0.11 : 0.34 : 120 : 0.8, n (NaF) / n (KF) = 3; subsequently, the mixed solution was placed in an ultrasonic instrument for ultrasonic aging at room temperature, with an ultrasonic aging treatment power of 20 kHz and a temperature of room temperature, for 1 h.

[0043] The above-mentioned aged synthesis sol was placed in a reactor together with the seed crystalized Al2O3 foam support in Step 1, and crystallization was carried out at 175 °C for 24 hours. After the reaction, the obtained sample was washed to neutral with deionized water, and dried to obtain the product ERI@Al2O3 molecular sieve membrane; Step 3: The above-mentioned ERI@Al2O3 molecular sieve membrane was placed in a 100 mL copper nitrate solution with a concentration of 1.0 mol / L, and continuously stirred at 80 °C for 6 hours. After the reaction, the sample was washed to neutral with deionized water, and then dried to obtain the monolithic Cu-ERI foam catalyst.

[0051] Example 7 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as Example 1, except that the synthetic sol ratio in step 2 of Example 1 is changed to n (SiO2) = 80, to obtain the catalyst finally. n (Al2O3) = 0.015, to obtain the catalyst finally. n (K2O) = 0.11, to obtain the catalyst finally. n (Na2O) = 0.34, to obtain the catalyst finally. n (H2O) = 1 : 0.015 : 0.11 : 0.34 : 200, to obtain the catalyst finally.

[0052] Example 8 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as Example 5, except that the copper nitrate concentration in step 3 of Example 5 is changed to 0.1 mol / L, to obtain the catalyst finally.

[0053] Example 9 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as Example 5, except that the copper nitrate concentration in step 3 of Example 5 is changed to 0.5 mol / L, to obtain the catalyst finally.

[0054] Example 10 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as Example 5, except that the copper nitrate concentration in step 3 of Example 5 is changed to 2.0 mol / L, to obtain the catalyst finally.

[0055] Example 11 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as Example 1, except that the synthetic sol ratio in step 2 of Example 1 is changed to n (H2O) = 1 : 0.015 : 0.11 : 0.34 : 160, to obtain the catalyst finally. n (SiO2) = 80, to obtain the catalyst finally.

[0056] Example 12 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as Example 1, except that the synthetic sol ratio in step 2 of Example 1 is changed to n (H2O) = 1 : 0.015 : 0.11 : 0.34 : 160, to obtain the catalyst finally. n (SiO2) = 160, to obtain the catalyst finally.

[0057] Example 13 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as those of Example 1, except that the ratio of the synthesis sol in step 2 in Example 1 is changed to n (H2O): n (SiO2)=200, to obtain the catalyst finally.

[0058] Comparative Example 1 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as those of Example 1, except that the seed coating in step 1 is not performed, that is, the Al2O3 foam is not immersed in the seed immersion solution, but is directly used in step 2.

[0059] The results are shown in Figure 1 b. From the corresponding XRD patterns, only the diffraction peaks of the Al2O3 foam support body appear, and no obvious molecular sieve diffraction peaks are observed, indicating that the product is amorphous, and indicating that a crystalline film layer cannot be formed without adding ERI seeds.

[0060] In addition, from the XRD and SEM patterns of the ERI seeds in Figure 1 a, it can be seen that the ERI seeds are elliptical in shape, with a size of about 200 nm x 500 nm.

[0061] Comparative Example 2 A preparation method of a low-silicon Cu-ERI type molecular sieve-based monolithic foam catalyst, which has the same steps as those of Example 1, except that the ratio of n (NaF+KF) / n (SiO2) in step 2 in Example 1 is changed to 0, to obtain a catalyst without fluorine finally.

[0062] Example 14 In this embodiment, the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-4 are analyzed for relevant characterization data, and the specific results are as follows: Figure 2 The X-ray diffraction patterns of the catalysts obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 2 of the present application are shown in Figure 2 It can be seen from that the XRD diffraction peaks of all samples are consistent with the standard characteristic diffraction peaks of the Al2O3 support body and the ERI type molecular sieve, and no other impurity crystal phase is present. This indicates that we have successfully synthesized an ERI type molecular sieve film layer on the Al2O3 support body. At the same time, no diffraction peaks of Cu species appear in the XRD patterns. This also indicates that the Cu species may be uniformly dispersed in the crystal framework in the form of oxide clusters or ions, without changing its crystal structure.

[0063] Figure 3The images shown are scanning electron microscope (SEM) images of the catalysts obtained in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 2. Figure 1 As shown in a and 1b, the surface of the fluorine-free film is completely covered by many rod-shaped crystals, each with a diameter of about 0.2 μm and a length of about 5 μm. These rod-shaped crystals form a continuous and relatively dense film with a thickness of about 18 μm; when a small amount of fluoride ions are introduced into the synthetic sol ( n (F - ) / n (SiO2)=0.1)( Figure 1 In cases c and 1d), the film surface still consists of rod-shaped crystals, but the number of crystals is reduced, and the film is not as continuous and dense, with noticeable pores visible. This is consistent with... Figure 2 The observed decrease in crystallinity in the corresponding XRD results is consistent with the phenomenon observed in the film, which is approximately 15 μm thick. As more fluoride ions are introduced into the synthetic sol, the rod-shaped crystals gradually aggregate and become longer. n (F - ) / n When the SiO2 concentration increases to 0.8, the crystals form relatively distinct rod-shaped bundles with a diameter of approximately 0.5 μm and a length reaching 15 μm. Figure 1 g and 1h); further increase in fluoride ions (g and 1h); n (F - ) / n (SiO2)=1.0), the rod-shaped crystal bundles continue to grow, still 0.5 μm in diameter, but with a length of 18 μm. The film thickness remains basically between 17 and 19 μm (e.g., SiO2=1.0). Figure 3 (as shown in f, 3h, and 3j).

[0064] Example 15 The catalysts prepared in Examples 1-7 and Comparative Example 2 of this invention were applied to the NH3-SCR reaction. The specific process is as follows: The catalyst was placed directly into a quartz tube (5 mm inner diameter, 500 mm length) for testing. To ensure accuracy, the catalyst was placed in the middle of the quartz tube, above the thermocouple, and the furnace temperature was controlled by a temperature control system, with a test temperature range of 100–600 °C. The simulated flue gas was [NO] = [NH3] = 500 ppm, 5% O2 (volume fraction), with N2 as the balance gas. The total gas flow rate was set to 100 mL / min, and the calculated GHSV was 60,000 h⁻¹. -1 Before testing, the simulated flue gas was thoroughly mixed in a mixer, and after stabilization, it was bypassed and introduced into the flue gas analyzer to record NO. xThe total intake value of (NO and NO2) was then transferred to the reaction path. After stabilization, the temperature was increased, and data was recorded every 50°C. To ensure the reaction reached a stable state, NO was recorded after holding at each target temperature for 20-30 minutes. x The outgassing values ​​of NH3 and N2O are shown in the figure. Figure 4 and Figure 5 .

[0065] Figure 4 The catalytic performance of all catalysts in Examples 1-4 in the NH3-SCR reaction is compared. When comparing the Cu-ERI membrane without fluorine on the Al2O3 foam support in Comparative Example 2, NO2 content is significantly higher in the temperature range of 200-500 °C. x The conversion rate is nearly 100%, especially at a low temperature of 150℃ for NO. x The conversion rate was as high as 85%, and the N2 selectivity was close to 100%; while in Examples 2 and 3 n (F - ) / n When Cu-ERI films were synthesized with SiO2 at concentrations of 0.1 and 0.3, NO was also detected in the medium-high temperature region (200~450 ℃). x The conversion rate is close to 100%. Meanwhile, NO... x The conversion rate was higher than that of Comparative Example 2. As more fluoride ions were introduced into the synthetic sol, the Cu-ERI membranes obtained in Examples 1 and 4 remained unchanged except for a slight decrease in the low temperature region, and the N2 selectivity of all catalysts was close to 100, showing the best denitrification performance.

[0066] Figure 5 The catalytic performance of all catalysts in Examples 6-7 and Comparative Example 2 in the NH3-SCR reaction is shown. Compared with the catalyst in Comparative Example 2, when... n (H2O) / n When (SiO2) = 80 and 160, the prepared catalysts exhibit NO activity in the low-temperature region. x The conversion rates are basically similar, while NO in the high-temperature zone x However, the conversion rate decreased by approximately 18%; further improvement n (H2O) / n When (SiO2)=200, the obtained catalyst only produces NO within a narrow temperature range of 250~350 ℃. x The conversion rate exceeds 90%, which does not affect the selectivity of N2.

[0067] Figure 6 The catalytic performance of all catalysts in Examples 8-10 and Comparative Example 2 in the NH3-SCR reaction is shown. Compared with the catalyst in Comparative Example 2, the prepared catalysts showed better performance in the low-temperature region (≤150℃) and the high-temperature region (≥450℃) at lower initial copper ion concentrations.x The conversion rates of NOxof all the catalysts prepared in Examples 11-13 and Example 1 were all decreased by 10-20%, while the conversion rates of NOxof the catalysts prepared by further increasing the initial copper ion concentration to 2 mol / L were basically maintained in the high-temperature region, but the conversion rates of NOxof the catalysts prepared by further increasing the initial copper ion concentration to 2 mol / L were decreased by about 30% in the low-temperature region. x

[0068] Figure 7 The catalytic performances of all the catalysts in the NH3-SCR reaction were tested. The conversion rates of NOxof all the catalysts were all greater than 90% in a wide temperature window (200-500 ℃), especially for the catalysts prepared from the dilute sols (Examples 12 and 13), the conversion rates of NOxof the catalysts were all increased by about 10% in the low-temperature region (≤ 150 ℃) and the high-temperature region (≥ 500 ℃), which showed that the dilute sols could promote the de-NOxperformance of the catalysts. x x

[0069] Example 16 The catalysts prepared in Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 2 were applied to the anti-water and anti-sulfur tests in the NH3-SCR reaction, and the specific process was as follows: To test the anti-water and anti-sulfur performances of the de-NOx catalysts, 100 ppm SO2 and 5 vol% H2O (water vapor) were respectively introduced into the simulated flue gas, and the values of the flue gas analyzer at different times were recorded. The H2O in the simulated flue gas was carried out from the heated steam generator via N2, and the actual heating temperature of the steam generator could be calculated by the saturated vapor pressure and water content table at different temperatures and the Clapeyron equation; when the anti-water test was not performed, N2 did not pass through the pipeline equipped with the steam generator, and the flow rate was controlled by switching the three-way valve. If 100 ppm SO2 and 5 vol% H2O were introduced at the same time, NH4HSO4 and NH4HSO3 were easily generated to cover the catalyst and block the pipeline, which could be decomposed at above 150 ℃. Therefore, to ensure the de-NOx efficiency and prevent the pipeline from being blocked, the upper, lower and standby pipeline temperatures were set to 120 ℃, 160 ℃ and 160 ℃ respectively to decompose the nitrate and nitrite, and the results were shown in Table 2. Figure 8~Figure 10

[0070] Figure 8 and Figure 9 The Cu-ERI@Al2O3 catalysts in Examples 1-4 in Table 1 exhibited excellent anti-water and anti-sulfur performances under the simulated flue gas conditions. In the atmosphere containing only 100 ppm SO2 or 5 vol% H2O, the conversion rates of NOxof all the catalysts were all stable in the whole temperature range, and the conversion rates of NOxof all the catalysts were obviously increased in the high-temperature region (> 500 ℃). Especially in the test containing 5 vol% H2O, the conversion rates of NOxof all the catalysts were obviously increased in the high-temperature region (> 500 ℃). x x ​​​​​Conversion rates of up to 100% are possible.

[0071] Figure 10 Further, the performance of Example 1 was tested at 150°C with 100 ppm SO2 and 5 vol% H2O simultaneously. When only 100 ppm SO2 was introduced, NO x Conversion rate was not affected; when only 5% H2O was introduced, conversion rate decreased by about 30%, but the performance could quickly recover to the initial level after stopping the introduction of H2O. When SO2 and H2O coexisted, NO x conversion rate decreased by about 35%, and also quickly recovered after stopping the introduction.

[0072] In contrast, the Comparative Example 2 catalyst without fluorine had NO x conversion rate was stable, but in a 5 vol% H2O atmosphere, NO x conversion rate remained stable, and at other temperature points, decreased by about 10-30%. When SO2 and H2O were introduced simultaneously (as shown in Figure 11 NO x conversion rate also decreased by 10-15%. Thus, the low-silicon Cu-ERI monolithic foam catalyst synthesized according to the present application has a significant advantage in terms of water and sulfur resistance, and can maintain high deNOx performance under complex working conditions.
