AI Technical Summary
In the preparation process of existing iron-doped manganese oxide catalysts, Fe3+ is difficult to be uniformly dispersed in the MnO2 lattice, resulting in insufficient concentration of surface active oxygen species, weak Fe-Mn synergistic effect, unsatisfactory low-temperature catalytic activity, high energy consumption during high-temperature calcination, and easy sintering of crystal grains.
Using sulfuric acid aqueous solution as the reaction medium, the redox reaction kinetics are regulated by the acidic environment, which promotes the uniform dispersion of Fe3+ in the MnO2 lattice and the formation of stable Fe-O-Mn bond bridges. Iron-doped manganese oxide catalysts are prepared by one-step water bath co-precipitation method and low-temperature calcination.
It significantly improves the low-temperature catalytic activity and high space velocity adaptability of the catalyst, and the toluene conversion rate can reach 100% in the range of 220℃~300℃. Compared with the traditional method, it saves more than 60% energy and has better catalytic activity than the unmodified catalyst.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst technology, specifically to an iron-doped manganese oxide catalyst, its preparation method, and its application. Background Technology
[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are major contributors to smog and ozone pollution. Toluene is a typical aromatic VOC, primarily originating from the pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It is highly toxic and carcinogenic, posing a serious threat to human health and the atmospheric environment. Therefore, developing efficient toluene remediation technologies is of great significance.
[0003] Currently, toluene treatment technologies include adsorption, biodegradation, and catalytic oxidation. Among these, catalytic oxidation is considered the most effective and economical technology due to its high oxidation efficiency, low reaction temperature, and lack of secondary pollution. Commonly used catalysts in catalytic oxidation mainly include noble metal catalysts and transition metal oxide catalysts. Noble metal catalysts exhibit excellent catalytic performance at low temperatures, but they are expensive, prone to poisoning, and require high-temperature sintering. In contrast, manganese oxide (MnO4) in transition metal oxide catalysts... x Its low price, easy availability and adjustable oxygen vacancy have attracted widespread attention, and its catalytic performance can be further improved by iron doping.
[0004] Currently, iron-doped manganese oxide catalysts are mainly prepared using an aqueous co-precipitation method. This involves co-precipitating soluble iron and manganese salts under alkaline conditions, followed by aging, washing, drying, and calcination at 300℃–500℃. However, this method contains Fe... 3+ The catalyst has several problems: it is difficult to effectively embed into the MnO2 lattice and it is easy to agglomerate on the surface to form an independent phase; the high-temperature calcination process not only has high energy consumption, but also easily causes grain sintering and a decrease in specific surface area; in addition, the concentration of surface active oxygen species is insufficient and the Fe-Mn synergistic effect is weak, resulting in unsatisfactory low-temperature catalytic activity. Summary of the Invention
[0005] To address the above technical problems, this invention provides an iron-doped manganese oxide catalyst, its preparation method, and its applications. This invention uses an aqueous sulfuric acid solution as the reaction medium, which not only provides an acidic environment to regulate the redox reaction kinetics but also promotes Fe production through sulfuric acid modification. 3+ The iron-doped manganese oxide is uniformly dispersed in the MnO2 lattice, forming stable Fe-O-Mn bond bridges, thereby promoting the synergistic effect of iron and manganese. This invention prepares iron-doped manganese oxide via a one-step water bath co-precipitation method, increasing the number of oxygen species on the catalyst surface and improving the catalyst's catalytic oxidation activity for toluene, thus enhancing the low-temperature catalytic oxidation performance of toluene.

After the reaction was completed, Fe / MnO2 solid precursors were obtained by separation, washing, and drying. The Fe / MnO2 solid precursors were then calcined in a mixed atmosphere of O2 to obtain an iron-doped manganese oxide catalyst.

[0013] Preferably, the O2-containing mixed atmosphere is a mixture of O2 and Ar, wherein the volume content of oxygen is 20%.
[0014] The second objective of this invention is to provide an iron-doped manganese oxide catalyst, wherein the iron-doped manganese oxide catalyst is prepared using the aforementioned method for preparing iron-doped manganese oxide catalysts.
[0015] A third objective of this invention is to provide an application of an iron-doped manganese oxide catalyst for the catalytic oxidation of toluene.
[0016] Preferably, the application method is as follows: a fixed-bed reactor is used, the catalyst loading is 0.1g (40-60 mesh), and the reaction gas composition is toluene 2000mg / m³. 3 (Nitrogen-carrying gas), 20% oxygen, nitrogen balance, total flow rate 100 mL / min, space velocity 60000 mL / (g·h). The reaction temperature range was 180℃~300℃. Toluene conversion was detected by gas chromatography-FID, and CO2 production was detected by TCD.
[0017] In this invention, the toluene concentration is 2000 mg / m³. 3Under a space velocity of 60,000 mL / (g·h), the prepared iron-doped manganese oxide catalyst can achieve a toluene conversion rate of ≥90% at 220℃~260℃.
[0018] The beneficial effects of this invention are: 1. The preparation method of the iron-doped manganese oxide catalyst provided by the present invention uses sulfuric acid aqueous solution as the reaction medium, and regulates the redox reaction kinetics through an acidic environment to promote Fe 3+ The catalyst is uniformly dispersed in the MnO2 lattice, forming stable Fe-O-Mn bond bridges, which significantly increases the content of adsorbed oxygen on the catalyst surface and lattice oxygen. Using this catalyst in the catalytic oxidation of toluene, under high space velocity conditions and a temperature range of 220℃ to 300℃, the conversion rate of toluene can reach up to 100%.
[0019] 2. The preparation method of this invention is simple, energy-saving, has few steps, and is easy to operate. This invention adopts a one-step water bath co-precipitation method, with a reaction temperature below 30℃ and a calcination temperature as low as 100℃~200℃, saving more than 60% energy compared to conventional methods (300℃~500℃).
[0020] 3. The catalyst prepared by this invention exhibits excellent low-temperature catalytic activity and strong adaptability to high space velocities. The catalyst prepared by this invention can withstand toluene concentrations of 2000 mg / m³. 3 Under test conditions of 60,000 mL / (g·h), the catalyst of this invention achieved a toluene conversion rate of 98% at 240℃ and 100% complete conversion at 250℃~260℃, which is significantly better than the unmodified catalyst (conversion rate of 71% at 260℃) and the pure MnO2 catalyst (conversion rate of 57% at 260℃).
