Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of environmental catalysis technology, specifically to a denitrification catalyst and its preparation method. Background Technology
[0002] Nitrogen oxides (NOx) are one of the major air pollutants, causing environmental problems such as acid rain and smog, and posing serious threats to ecosystems and human health. Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology is currently the most mainstream and efficient method for industrial flue gas denitrification. As the core of the SCR system, the denitrification catalyst's catalytic activity, temperature window, and resistance to poisoning directly determine the denitrification efficiency and equipment lifespan.
[0003] Currently, the most widely used vanadium-tungsten-titanium denitration catalysts in industrial applications, while exhibiting good denitration effects in the medium-to-high temperature range (300-400℃), suffer from insufficient low-temperature activity and a narrow active temperature window, making them unsuitable for low-temperature flue gas conditions. Furthermore, this system has poor resistance to sulfur and water, easily generating ammonium sulfate in sulfur- and water-containing flue gas, clogging pores and poisoning active sites, leading to rapid catalyst deactivation. In addition, alkali metals and alkaline earth metals in the flue gas readily neutralize the acidic sites of the catalyst, causing irreversible poisoning, further shortening its lifespan and increasing maintenance costs. In recent years, non-vanadium denitration catalysts, represented by manganese-based and cerium-based catalysts, have become a research hotspot due to their excellent low-temperature activity and strong environmental friendliness. However, these catalysts still suffer from insufficient support structural stability and limited catalytic efficiency and lifespan.
[0004] Therefore, developing a novel denitrification catalyst with wide temperature range, high efficiency, sulfur and water resistance, and stable structure, along with a green and efficient preparation process, is of great practical significance for promoting the large-scale application of selective catalytic reduction denitrification technology in multiple scenarios and complex flue gas conditions. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In order to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art, the present invention aims to provide a denitrification catalyst and its preparation method. The denitrification catalyst prepared by the present invention has good high-efficiency wide-temperature denitrification performance, sulfur resistance, water resistance and alkali metal and alkaline earth metal resistance.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: a denitrification catalyst, comprising a modified titanium-silicon composite oxide as a carrier, a manganese-cerium-zirconium composite oxide as an active component, a molybdenum-tungsten composite oxide as an auxiliary agent, and a rare earth element lanthanum as a modifier; based on the total mass of the denitrification catalyst being 100%, the active component accounts for 8%-15%, the auxiliary agent accounts for 3%-8%, the modifier accounts for 1%-3%, and the remainder is the modified titanium-silicon composite oxide carrier; The catalyst was prepared by a pulsed microwave-assisted impregnation process; The modified titanium-silicon composite oxide carrier has a mesoporous structure with a pore size distribution of 2-10 nm and a specific surface area of 180-250 m². 2 / g.
[0007] Furthermore, in the modified titanium-silicon composite oxide carrier, the mass ratio of TiO2 to SiO2 is 7:3-9:1.
[0008] Furthermore, in the active component of the manganese-cerium-zirconium composite oxide, the molar ratio of Mn, Ce, and Zr is 6:3:1-7:2:1; Mn exists in the form of MnO2, Ce exists in the form of CeO2, and Zr exists in the form of ZrO2, forming a solid solution structure.
[0009] Furthermore, in the molybdenum-tungsten composite oxide additive, the molar ratio of Mo to W is 1:1-2:1; Mo exists in the form of MoO3, and W exists in the form of WO3, and the molybdenum-tungsten composite oxide is directionally enriched on the catalyst surface, forming a core-shell distribution.
[0010] Furthermore, the modifier lanthanum exists in the form of La2O3.
[0011] Furthermore, the preparation method of the denitration catalyst is as follows: Step 1: Dissolve titanium source and silicon source in anhydrous ethanol, adjust pH and mix, add lanthanum nitrate and carbonaceous template agent, ultrasonically disperse to form gel, dry and calcine to obtain modified titanium-silicon composite oxide carrier. Step 2: Dissolve manganese nitrate tetrahydrate, cerium nitrate hexahydrate, and zirconium nitrate pentahydrate in deionized water, add citric acid, adjust the pH, and obtain the active component precursor solution. Step 3: Dissolve ammonium molybdate tetrahydrate and ammonium metatungstate in deionized water, heat to dissolve, and obtain the auxiliary agent precursor solution; Step 4: The modified titanium-silicon composite oxide support is added to the active component precursor solution for ultrasonic impregnation and evaporation drying. Then, the auxiliary agent precursor solution is added for pulsed microwave-assisted impregnation, followed by drying and calcination. Finally, a binder is added, the mixture is kneaded and shaped, dried, and calcined to obtain the denitrification catalyst.
[0012] Furthermore, in step one, the titanium source is tetrabutyl titanate and the silicon source is tetraethyl orthosilicate; the calcination process is divided into two steps: the first step is to keep warm at 300℃ for 1 hour, and the second step is to calcine at 550-650℃ for 3-5 hours; the carbonaceous template agent is coconut shell carbon powder with a particle size of 50-100nm, and the amount added is 5%-10% of the carrier mass.
[0013] In this step, the carbonaceous template agent is oxidized and decomposed during the high-temperature calcination stage and escapes in gaseous form, thereby generating a mesoporous structure in situ within the composite oxide framework.
[0014] Furthermore, in step two, the total molar ratio of citric acid to metal ions is 1.2:1, and the pH is adjusted to 5-6.
[0015] In this step, the pH of the system is strictly controlled between 5 and 6, which allows citric acid to fully complex free metal ions and effectively prevents the metal precursor from undergoing non-uniform single hydroxide precipitation. This ensures that the three metal ions, Mn, Ce, and Zr, are uniformly mixed at the atomic level, providing the necessary precursor conditions for the formation of a uniform manganese-cerium-zirconium ternary solid solution structure during the subsequent calcination process. After stirring evenly, the active component precursor solution is obtained.
[0016] Furthermore, in step four, the parameters for pulsed microwave-assisted impregnation are: microwave power of 700-900W, pulse mode of 3-5 seconds on / 9-15 seconds off, processing time of 10-15 minutes; calcination temperature of 450-550℃, and calcination time of 2-3 hours.
[0017] In this step, intermittent heating with pulsed microwaves can avoid local overheating and component agglomeration caused by continuous microwaves, promote the migration of molybdenum-tungsten additives to the outer layer of the carrier, and make the molybdenum-tungsten composite additives directionally enriched in the outer layer of the carrier, forming a core-shell distribution.
[0018] Furthermore, in step four, the binder is silica sol, and the amount added is 5%-8% of the sample mass.
[0019] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial technical effects: This invention uses modified titanium-silicon composite oxide as a support and a manganese-cerium-zirconium ternary solid solution as the active component. A pulsed microwave-assisted impregnation process is employed to directionally enrich molybdenum-tungsten additives on the support surface, forming a core-shell distribution. Combined with the acid-modifying effect of rare earth lanthanum, this significantly broadens the catalyst's active temperature window, enhancing the high-efficiency, wide-temperature denitrification performance of the denitrification catalyst. Under pulsed microwave irradiation, the molybdenum-tungsten additives form a core-shell enrichment layer on the catalyst surface. Combined with the high specific surface area of the mesoporous support and the optimization of surface acidity by lanthanum modification, this effectively suppresses the effects of SO2 and H2O on the catalyst's activity. The competitive adsorption and poisoning of acidic sites enhance the sulfur and water resistance of the denitrification catalyst. Rare earth lanthanum modification increases the number and strength of acidic sites on the catalyst surface. When impacted by alkali or alkaline earth metals, these acidic sites effectively neutralize and contain the alkaline poisons, protecting the active components from damage and endowing the denitrification catalyst with excellent resistance to alkali and alkaline earth metal poisoning. The synergistic effect of all components inhibits sintering and phase transformation of the active phase, improving structural stability and anti-aging capabilities, extending the service life of the denitrification catalyst, and reducing operation and maintenance costs.

[0041] Comparative Example 1 The main difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that, in step (4), the loading of the additive was not carried out using a pulsed microwave-assisted impregnation process. Specifically, after the active component loading intermediate was added to the additive precursor solution, it was impregnated by conventional water bath heating and stirring. The mixture was continuously stirred for 2 hours in a constant temperature water bath at 60°C, followed by drying and calcination. The remaining steps and parameters were consistent with those in Example 4.
[0042] Comparative Example 2 The main difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that no carbonaceous template agent (coconut shell carbon powder) was added when preparing the modified titanium-silicon composite oxide carrier in step (1). The remaining steps and parameters are consistent with those of Example 4.
[0043] Comparative Example 3 The main difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that the catalyst does not contain the rare earth element lanthanum modifier. Specifically, lanthanum nitrate is not added when preparing the support in step (1), and the remaining steps and parameters are consistent with those in Example 4.
[0044] Comparative Example 4 The main difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that the active component does not contain zirconium (Zr), but is only a manganese-cerium binary composite oxide. Specifically, in step (2), zirconium nitrate is not added, and its corresponding molar amount is distributed to manganese nitrate and cerium nitrate in the original proportion. The remaining steps and parameters are consistent with those in Example 4.
[0045] Comparative Example 5 The main difference between this comparative example and Example 4 is that in step (4), continuous microwave-assisted impregnation is used instead of pulsed microwave. Specifically, after adding the active component-loaded intermediate to the auxiliary agent precursor solution, microwave treatment is performed continuously for 3.75 minutes at a power of 700W (equal to the cumulative on-time of pulsed microwave in Example 4), without any interruption. The remaining steps, raw material ratios, and process parameters are completely consistent with those of Example 4.

[0050] (2) Determination of sulfur and water resistance: The simulated flue gas composition was: NOx (1500 mg / m³) 3 The composition of the gas is as follows: NH3 (NH3 / NOx molar ratio = 1:1.03), O2 (17%), SO2 (1000 mg / m3), H2O (8%), with N2 as the balance gas and a space velocity of 10000 h⁻¹. -1 The reaction temperatures were controlled at 120℃, 200℃, and 300℃, respectively. The flow rates of each gas were controlled by mass flow meters. Before entering the reactor, the gas was mixed in a gas mixer and then preheated in a preheater. The NOx concentrations at the inlet and outlet were measured by a flue gas analyzer. Testing began 30 minutes after the system had stabilized during operation; the results are shown in Table 2.
[0051] Table 2: Determination of sulfur resistance and water resistance

[0053] (3) Determination of resistance to alkali metals and alkaline earth metals: Two test blocks of each of the denitrification catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Examples 1-4 were placed in a 2% potassium hydroxide + 2% sodium hydroxide mixed solution and a 2% calcium hydroxide + 2% magnesium hydroxide mixed solution, respectively. After soaking in a sealed container at 100°C for 72 hours, the catalysts were removed, dried in a forced-air drying oven at 120°C for 3 hours, and then calcined in a muffle furnace at 400°C for 3 hours. After removal, the denitrification efficiency was tested under the same conditions as performance test (1), with the reaction temperature controlled at 150°C and 300°C. The test results are shown in Table 3.
[0054] Table 3: Test results of resistance to alkali metals and alkaline earth metals
[0055] As can be seen from Table 3, the denitrification catalysts prepared in Examples 1-4 still maintained a denitrification efficiency of over 77% after being subjected to accelerated poisoning by alkali metals / alkaline earth metals, demonstrating excellent resistance to poisoning.
[0056] The comparison reveals that neither conventional water bath impregnation (Comparative Example 1) nor continuous microwave-assisted processes (Comparative Example 5) can provide a localized non-thermal alternation effect, easily leading to agglomeration and sintering of molybdenum-tungsten additives. This prevents the construction of an ideal core-shell protective layer on the support surface, resulting in a significant reduction in effective active sites. Regarding the support framework, the absence of carbonaceous template agents (Comparative Example 2) directly caused severe sintering during the high-temperature calcination stage, with the collapse of the pore network hindering the mass transfer of reactant gases. The absence of lanthanum (Comparative Example 3) weakens the density of acidic sites on the surface, making it highly susceptible to neutralization and poisoning when subjected to alkaline poisoning. Furthermore, the lack of zirconium doping (Comparative Example 4) severely hinders the formation of highly active solid solution lattice defects within the manganese-cerium system, fundamentally limiting the intrinsic electron transfer rate of the catalyst.
