[0065] Figure 2 This is a catalytic effect curve of the methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst described in Example 1 of the present invention after hydrothermal aging and sulfur and phosphorus poisoning. Detailed Implementation

[0066] The technical solution of the present invention will be further illustrated below through specific embodiments. Those skilled in the art should understand that the embodiments described are merely illustrative of the present invention and should not be construed as limiting the invention.

[0067] The scope of this invention can be defined by lower and upper limits. The selected lower and upper limits define the boundaries of a specific range. The range defined in this way can be defined by the inclusion or exclusion of endpoints. Any endpoint can be independently selected for inclusion or exclusion, and all lower and upper limits can be arbitrarily combined to form new ranges. That is, any lower limit can be combined with any upper limit to form an effective range. For example, if the ranges of 60~120 and 80~110 are listed for specific parameters, it should be understood that the ranges of 60~110 and 80~120 also fall within the scope of this invention. In addition, if the minimum range values ​​1 and 2 are listed, and the maximum range values ​​3, 4 and 5 are also listed, then all ranges of 1~3, 1~4, 1~5, 2~3, 2~4 and 2~5 fall within the scope of this invention. In this invention, the numerical range "a~b" represents a shortened representation of any combination of real numbers between a and b, where a and b are both real numbers. For example, the numerical range "0~5" means that all real numbers between 0 and 5 have been fully listed in this document, and "0~5" is only a shortened representation of this set of numerical combinations. When a parameter is expressed as an integer ≥2, it is equivalent to listing positive integers that meet the requirements, such as 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, etc. When a parameter is expressed as an integer selected from "2~10", it is equivalent to listing any integer among 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

[0068] In this invention, "a combination of at least two" refers to a quantity greater than or equal to 2 unless otherwise specified. For example, "any one or a combination of at least two" means that any one of the listed items can be selected, or a combination of at least two of the listed items formed in a manner that does not conflict and enables the implementation of this invention. In this invention, unless otherwise specified, the features or solutions corresponding to "and / or" cover any one of two or more related listed items, as well as any and all combinations of the related listed items. The arbitrary and all combinations include any two related listed items, any more related listed items, or a combination of all related listed items. For example, "A and / or B" means a set consisting of A, B, and combinations of A and B, where "containing A and / or B" can be understood, depending on the context of the statement, as containing A, containing B, or simultaneously containing both A and B. In this invention, "optional" means that the corresponding feature, component, step or solution is not necessary, that is, it is selected from either "with" or "without". If there are multiple "optional" limitations in a technical solution, unless otherwise specified and there is no technical conflict or mutual constraint, each "optional" limitation is independent and does not affect the others.

[0069] In this invention, technical features or solutions described using open-ended terms such as "comprising" or "including" do not exclude additional non-conflicting elements beyond the listed elements unless otherwise specified. They are considered to disclose both closed-ended features or solutions consisting solely of the listed elements and open-ended features or solutions that may include additional non-conflicting elements beyond the listed elements. For example, if A includes a1, a2, and a3, unless otherwise specified, this means that A can consist only of a1, a2, and a3, or it can include other non-conflicting elements based on a1, a2, and a3. This corresponds to the disclosure of technical solutions such as "A consists of a1, a2, and a3," "A is selected from a1, a2, and a3," and "A not only includes a1, a2, and a3, but may also include other non-conflicting elements." All embodiments and optional embodiments of this invention, unless otherwise specified and without technical conflict, can be combined to form new technical solutions, and such combinations fall within the scope of this invention. The term "embodiment" as used in this invention means that a specific feature, structure, or characteristic described in connection with an embodiment may be included in at least one embodiment or implementation of the invention. The appearance of this phrase in various locations throughout the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor is it an independent or alternative embodiment mutually exclusive with other embodiments. Those skilled in the art will understand, explicitly and implicitly, that the embodiments described in this invention can be combined with other embodiments that do not conflict with the technology. The ordinal numbers "first," "second," "third," and "fourth," etc., used in the expressions "first aspect," "second aspect," "third aspect," and "fourth aspect" in this invention are for descriptive purposes only and should not be construed as indicating or implying relative importance or quantity, nor should they be construed as implicitly specifying the importance or quantity of the indicated technical features. They serve only as a non-exhaustive enumeration and do not constitute a closed limitation on quantity.

[0070] In this invention, the order in which the steps are written in the methods described in each embodiment does not imply a strict execution order. The actual execution order of each step should be determined according to its function and possible internal logic. Unless otherwise specified, all steps of this invention can be executed in the order in which they are written or in any order that does not conflict with the technology.

[0071] Example 1 This embodiment provides a methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst, the structural schematic diagram of which is shown below. Figure 1 As shown, the methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst includes a cordierite honeycomb ceramic carrier with a thickness of 101.6 μm and a first catalyst coating with a thickness of 50 μm and a second catalyst coating with a thickness of 50 μm, which are sequentially stacked on one side surface of the cordierite honeycomb ceramic carrier.

[0072] The mass ratio of the active component in the first catalyst coating to the active component in the second catalyst coating is 1:1, wherein the active component is all solid materials except the binder.

[0073] The methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst is prepared by the following method: (1) After mixing cerium nitrate, boehmite and magnesium nitrate evenly, add an appropriate amount of ammonia water, precipitate and filter to obtain a composite metal oxide framework precursor. Sinter at 550℃ for 3h and then at 900℃ for 3h to obtain CeO2-Al2O3-MgO (molar ratio of 4:5:1) composite metal oxide framework. Impregnate a mixed solution of palladium nitrate and platinum nitrate onto the CeO2-Al2O3-MgO composite metal oxide framework, dry at 100℃ for 4h and then calcine at 500℃ for 3h. Impregnate with rhodium nitrate solution, dry at 100℃ for 4h and then calcine at 500℃ for 3h to obtain the first catalyst. (2) Zn(NO3)2 and Zr(NO3)4 are mixed and dissolved in deionized water to prepare a metal nitrate mixed solution, wherein the molar ratio of Zr to Zn in the metal nitrate mixed solution is 1:4. CTAB and PEG2000 are mixed and dissolved in deionized water to prepare a template agent mixed solution, and the solution is completely dissolved and mixed. The ratio of the total molar number of CTAB and PEG2000 to the total molar number of metal ions in the template agent mixed solution is 1:10, and the molar ratio of CTAB to PEG2000 is 2:1. The metal nitrate mixed solution is poured into the template agent mixed solution and magnetically stirred for 25 min. At a reaction temperature of 70°C, the metal nitrate and template agent mixed solution and a 0.8 mol / L Na2CO3 solution are added dropwise into the reaction vessel in a parallel flow manner. After titration, the above reaction temperature is maintained, and magnetic stirring is continued for 0.8 h before stirring is stopped. The solution is then aged for 4 h at the above reaction temperature. After aging, the product is cooled, centrifuged to obtain a solid precipitate, washed with deionized water, dried, and then placed in a tube furnace at 500°C for calcination to obtain ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution material. (3) The first catalyst and the solid solution material are mixed with polyvinyl alcohol binder and water respectively to prepare a first slurry with a solid content of 25% and a second slurry with a solid content of 35%. The first slurry is coated on the surface of the cordierite honeycomb ceramic carrier and heat-treated at 500°C for 2 hours to form a first catalyst coating. The second slurry is coated on the surface of the first catalyst coating and reduced at 500°C for 4 hours to form a second catalyst coating, thus obtaining a methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst.

[0076] The methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst is prepared by the following method: (1) After mixing cerium nitrate, boehmite and magnesium nitrate evenly, add an appropriate amount of ammonia water, precipitate and filter to obtain a composite metal oxide framework precursor. Sinter at 500℃ for 5h and then at 800℃ for 3h to obtain CeO2-Al2O3-MgO (molar ratio of 2:2:1) composite metal oxide framework. Impregnate a mixed solution of palladium nitrate and platinum nitrate onto the CeO2-Al2O3-MgO composite metal oxide framework, dry at 100℃ for 4h and then calcine at 550℃ for 3h.

The metal nitrate mixed solution is poured into the template agent mixed solution and magnetically stirred for 25 min. At a reaction temperature of 70°C, the metal nitrate and template agent mixed solution and a 0.8 mol / L Na2CO3 solution are added dropwise into the reaction vessel in a parallel flow manner. After titration, the above reaction temperature is maintained, and magnetic stirring is continued for 0.8 h before stirring is stopped. The solution is then aged for 4 h at the above reaction temperature. After aging, the product is cooled, centrifuged to obtain a solid precipitate, washed with deionized water, dried, and then placed in a tube furnace at 500°C for calcination to obtain ZnO-ZrO2 solid solution material. (3) The first catalyst and the solid solution material are mixed with polyvinyl alcohol binder and water respectively to prepare a first slurry with a solid content of 20% and a second slurry with a solid content of 15%. The first slurry is coated on the surface of the cordierite honeycomb ceramic carrier and heat-treated at 500°C for 4 hours to form a first catalyst coating. The second slurry is coated on the surface of the first catalyst coating and reduced at 300°C for 4 hours to form a second catalyst coating, thus obtaining a methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst.

[0078] The mass ratio of the active component in the first catalyst coating to the active component in the second catalyst coating is 2:1, wherein the active component refers to all solid materials except the binder.

(3) The first catalyst and the solid solution material are mixed with polyvinyl alcohol binder and water respectively to prepare a first slurry with a solid content of 35% and a second slurry with a solid content of 38%. The first slurry is coated on the surface of cordierite honeycomb ceramic carrier and heat-treated at 500°C for 2 hours to form a first catalyst coating. The second slurry is coated on the surface of the first catalyst coating and reduced at 500°C for 1 hour to form a second catalyst coating, thus obtaining a methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst.

[0080] Example 4 The only difference between this embodiment and Example 1 is that the first catalyst coating does not contain rhodium; all other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0081] Example 5 The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the thickness of the second catalyst coating is 30 μm; all other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0082] Example 6 The only difference between this embodiment and Embodiment 1 is that the thickness of the second catalyst coating is 80 μm; all other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in Embodiment 1.

[0083] Comparative Example 1 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that the second catalyst coating is not provided; all other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0084] Comparative Example 2 The only difference between this comparative example and Example 1 is that no reduction treatment is performed, that is, the second catalyst coating does not contain any elemental metal. All other conditions and parameters are exactly the same as in Example 1.

[0085] The catalyst performance was evaluated using a fixed-bed reactor. The reaction gases were 4000 ppm CO, 3000 ppm methanol (MEOH), 2500 ppm NO, 2 vol.% O2, 10 vol.% CO2, 10 vol.% H2O, with N2 as the equilibrium gas and a space velocity of 800,000 h⁻¹. -1 The reaction pressure was 0.1 MPa. The change in methanol concentration before and after the reaction was measured using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, and the conversion rate was calculated. Based on the performance test data... Figure 2 The catalyst catalytic effect curve shown is as follows: Figure 2 As shown, the purification efficiency of the fresh catalyst for methanol at 200℃ can reach or exceed 99%; after hydrothermal aging with 10% H2O at 750℃ for 50 hours, the purification efficiency of the catalyst for methanol at 200℃ can still reach or exceed 98%; after poisoning with 100ppm phosphorus and sulfur for 30 hours, the purification efficiency of the catalyst for methanol at 200℃ can still reach or exceed 96%. It can be seen that the catalyst obtained by this technical solution can achieve low-temperature sulfur resistance and high-temperature hydrothermal resistance. The test results of other examples and comparative examples are summarized in Table 1. Table 1 As shown in Table 1, and based on Examples 1-3, the methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst of the present invention achieves a methanol conversion rate of over 99.7% at 200℃, over 98.1% after hydrothermal aging, and over 95.3% after sulfur and phosphorus poisoning, demonstrating excellent stability. When the platinum-palladium ratio is 1:1 and the thickness of the first and second catalyst coatings is 50 μm, the resulting catalyst exhibits the highest methanol catalytic performance, along with the highest resistance to sulfur and phosphorus poisoning and hydrothermal aging.

[0086] A comparison of Examples 1 and 4 shows that the methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst of the present invention, by combining with a variety of precious metals, can improve the catalyst’s catalytic performance for methanol.

[0087] A comparison of Examples 1 and 5-6 shows that the thickness of the second catalyst coating in the methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst of the present invention affects its performance. Controlling the thickness of the second catalyst coating to 50 μm results in a methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst with better performance. If the thickness of the second catalyst coating is too large, it is not conducive to sufficient contact between the exhaust gas and the catalyst, thereby reducing the catalytic performance. If the thickness of the second catalyst coating is too small, the catalyst is prone to sulfur and phosphorus poisoning.

[0088] As can be seen from the comparison between Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1-2, in the methanol engine exhaust aftertreatment catalyst of the present invention, a second catalyst coating composed of a metal oxide solid solution material is provided on a first catalyst coating containing precious metals. The solid solution material in the second coating contains metal oxides and elemental metals, with the elemental metals dispersed in the solid solution material as an active component. This enhances the catalyst's conversion capacity and resistance to hydrothermal aging, while significantly reducing the overall amount of precious metals used in the catalyst. Simultaneously, the second catalyst coating effectively prevents the diffusion of harmful sulfur and phosphorus substances to the first catalyst coating, thereby protecting the precious metal active components of the first catalyst coating from poisoning and significantly improving the catalyst's resistance to sulfur and phosphorus poisoning.

Those skilled in the art should understand that any changes or substitutions that can be easily conceived by those skilled in the art within the technical scope disclosed in the present invention fall within the protection and disclosure scope of the present invention.
