Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst for low-temperature oxidation of CO and reduction of NO, its preparation method and application, belonging to the field of flue gas purification technology. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, efforts are underway to eliminate NO from sintering flue gas. x Commonly used technologies for CO and NO removal include CO selective catalytic reduction of NO (CO-SCR) and CO selective catalytic oxidation (CO-SCO). Among these, CO-SCR technology can separate CO and NO. x Simultaneous removal and conversion of CO2 and N2, while CO-SCO is suitable for treating low-concentration CO, boasting advantages such as low reaction temperature and high oxidation efficiency, making it one of the most economical and efficient emission reduction technologies. If CO-SCR and CO-SCO technologies can be applied synergistically, waste-to-waste treatment can be achieved, eliminating secondary pollution.
[0003] To achieve the synergistic application of CO-SCR and CO-SCO technologies, it is necessary to develop technologies that combine NO... x This composite catalyst exhibits dual functionalities of selective reduction and CO catalytic oxidation, and its structure includes a porous support and highly efficient active components. Activated carbon (AC) is used in the field of environmental catalysis for the removal of NO. x Activated carbon is the most widely used carrier material for CO, SO2, and VOCs. It boasts advantages such as low cost, flexible operating conditions, high specific surface area, and well-developed pore structure. In particular, coconut shell-based activated carbon, with its unique honeycomb pore structure and excellent adsorption performance, has demonstrated outstanding performance in the treatment of multiple pollutants in industrial flue gas and has become the preferred carrier for industrial applications. However, unmodified activated carbon is limited by micropore mass transfer resistance and insufficient surface active sites, resulting in poor dispersion of active metals and unsatisfactory CO and NO removal effects. Summary of the Invention
[0004] Low-temperature NO removal using existing activated carbon-supported metal active components x It has poor activity with CO and is less effective against NO. x To address the problems of low CO removal rates, this invention provides a CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst for low-temperature CO oxidation and NO reduction, along with its preparation method and application. Using inexpensive coconut shell activated carbon (AC) as a carrier, SiO2 is coated onto AC through ethanol activation pretreatment, impregnation, Joule flash rapid activation, and plasma surface treatment. Co and Ce are then loaded onto AC@SiO2 via impregnation and steam co-calcination activation to obtain the CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst, achieving simultaneous CO and NO removal at 100-250℃. This solves the problem of low-temperature NO removal from existing flue gas methods. x It has poor activity with CO and is less effective against NO. xThis invention addresses issues such as low CO removal rates. The CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst utilizes AC as a framework structure and reactant enrichment platform, and SiO2 layers to regulate the microenvironment of the active center and reactant mass transfer. It constructs a bifunctional catalyst by integrating Co and Ce reaction sites, achieving the coupling of CO catalytic oxidation and NO catalytic reduction. This not only efficiently removes both CO and NO simultaneously but is also environmentally friendly and pollution-free.
[0005] A method for preparing a CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst for low-temperature oxidation of CO and reduction of NO, wherein the CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst has a dual-support structure of AC@SiO2 with coconut shell activated carbon (AC) as the core and SiO2 as the shell, and the active component is CoO2. x and CeO y A CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst is formed on the surface of the AC@SiO2 dual-support structure. The total mass of Co and Ce elements in the active component accounts for 2-4% of AC. With the total molar amount of Co and Ce as 100%, the molar amount of Co accounts for 20%-80%.
[0006] The preparation method of the CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst for low-temperature oxidation of CO and reduction of NO includes the following specific steps: (1) Coconut shell activated carbon AC was washed with deionized water, placed in a water bath at 60~80℃ for ultrasonic treatment for 2~4h, solid-liquid separation was performed, and dried to obtain pretreated coconut shell activated carbon AC. (2) The pretreated coconut shell activated carbon AC was added to an ethanol solution for surface activation treatment, solid-liquid separation, and drying to obtain activated coconut shell activated carbon C2H5OH / AC; (3) Add activated coconut shell activated carbon C2H5OH / AC to SiO2 solution, ultrasonically impregnate at 80~90℃ for 2~4h, then let stand at room temperature for 24~36h, and vacuum dry to obtain AC@SiO2 precursor; (4) The AC@SiO2 precursor is placed in a Joule thermal flash evaporation device and heated to 1600~1700℃ for Joule thermal flash evaporation treatment to activate AC@SiO2 at high temperature. Then, the AC@SiO2 catalyst is obtained by plasma surface treatment. (5) Add the AC@SiO2 catalyst to a cerium nitrate-cobalt nitrate mixed solution, ultrasonically impregnate at 80~90℃ for 2~4h, then let it stand at room temperature for 24~36h, and vacuum dry to obtain CoCe / AC@SiO2 precursor; (6) The CoCe / AC@SiO2 precursor is heated at a constant rate to 500~600℃ and activated by steam for 30~40min to obtain the CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst.
[0007] Preferably, the surface activation treatment in step (2) is carried out at a temperature of 80~90℃ for 2~4h.
[0008] Preferably, the concentration of the SiO2 solution in step (3) is 0.5~0.8 mol / L, and the mass ratio of SiO2 to coconut shell activated carbon AC in step (1) is 3%~5%.
[0009] Preferably, the peak voltage of the Joule heat flash treatment in step (4) is 200~300V, the instantaneous current is 300~400A, and the time is 500~600ms.
[0010] Preferably, in step (4), the plasma surface treatment power is 300~400W, the time is 20~30min, and the plasma discharge gas is a hydrogen-nitrogen mixture.
[0011] More preferably, the volume of hydrogen in the hydrogen-nitrogen mixture is 10-20%, and the flow rate of the hydrogen-nitrogen mixture is 13-15 ml / min.
[0012] Preferably, in step (5), the concentration of cerium nitrate in the cobalt nitrate-cerium nitrate mixed solution is 0.05~0.09 mol / L, and the concentration of cobalt nitrate is 0.025~0.075 mol / L.
[0013] Preferably, the steam introduction rate in step (6) is 35~39 ml / min.
[0014] The CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst of this invention can be used for low-temperature catalytic removal of CO and NO from flue gas, with a catalytic removal temperature of 100~250℃.
[0015] The present invention provides a method for testing the CO and NO removal performance of the CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst: (1) N2 was introduced to purge the CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst, while the temperature of the CO+NO removal fixed-bed reactor was raised to 100℃. (2) The mixed flue gas (simulated gas) from which CO and NO are to be removed is fed into a fixed-bed reactor, and the reaction temperature is controlled at 100-250℃. The NO flow rate in the mixed flue gas (simulated gas) from which CO and NO are to be removed is 2.4 ml·min. -1 (2.4×10 3 ppm), O2 volume concentration 10% (volume ratio), CO flow rate 4 ml·min -1 (4×10 3 ppm), the total flow rate of the mixed gas is 1000 ml·min -1 (1×10 6(ppm), N2 is the equilibrium gas. In the flue gas, CO + NO will oxidize CO to CO2 and reduce NO to N2 gas under the action of different CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalysts. (3) Before and after the process of removing CO+NO from the flue gas by different CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalysts, the flue gas analyzer recorded the various components in the flue gas and calculated the efficiency of CO+NO removal. (4) The gas after the reaction is released into the atmosphere after the unreacted CO and NO are absorbed by the limestone solution.
[0016] The principle of using the CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst of this invention for the low-temperature catalytic removal of CO and NO from flue gas is as follows: This invention encapsulates SiO2 onto AC via ethanol activation pretreatment, impregnation, Joule flash rapid activation, and plasma surface treatment. Then, Co and Ce are loaded onto AC@SiO2 via impregnation and steam synergistic calcination activation to prepare a CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst for CO oxidation and NO reduction.
[0017] Pretreatment of coconut shell activated carbon with an ethanol-water solution can enhance the performance of the support through a dual effect of hydroxylation modification and pore regulation: the polar functional groups introduced by ethanol molecules on the activated carbon surface can form strong coordination bonds with metal active components, inhibiting the migration and aggregation of metal particles during high-temperature reactions, and significantly enhancing the catalyst's anti-sintering ability and stability; simultaneously, the ethanol etching effect can precisely regulate the pore structure of activated carbon, forming a microenvironment suitable for the transport of carbon intermediates, and the surface functional groups can also serve as anchoring sites for carbon species, greatly improving the selectivity of carbon-based reactions. This pretreatment process requires no special equipment, is compatible with various carbon-based supports, and provides broad adaptability of active sites for different catalytic systems.
[0018] When loading Co and Ce elements using the equal-volume impregnation method, a highly dispersed loading of active components can be achieved through a stepwise impregnation-calcination process. Moreover, this process is simple to operate and can be mass-produced with only conventional equipment, significantly reducing the cost of catalyst preparation.
[0019] By applying a high instantaneous current to the catalyst precursor using a pulsed power supply, ultrafast non-equilibrium activation is achieved through the Joule heating effect: the instantaneous high temperature causes the precursor to decompose rapidly, while simultaneously inhibiting the ordered arrangement of atoms, forming a large number of amorphous metal oxide phases, which significantly increases the specific surface area of the material; the thermal stress generated during the rapid heating-cooling process can introduce high-density defect structures on the material surface, and these defects can serve as active centers for the catalytic reaction, significantly increasing the reaction rate; the metastable structure formed by flash activation can exist stably at room temperature for a long time, and can dynamically transform into a more active crystalline phase during the reaction, providing a guarantee for the long-term stability of catalytic performance.
[0020] Plasma is used to treat the surface of the catalyst, and the surface structure is regulated by bombardment of high-energy particles and etching of active species: high-energy electrons in the plasma can promote the valence state transformation of the metal active components and enhance the redox ability of the catalyst; at the same time, active oxygen species in the plasma can react with lattice oxygen on the catalyst surface to form a large number of oxygen vacancies, which significantly promotes the adsorption and activation of reactant molecules. After plasma treatment, the low-temperature activity of the catalyst is greatly improved, and it can still maintain high activity stability after long-term continuous reaction.
[0021] High-temperature treatment of catalysts using water vapor as an activator can construct a rich mesoporous structure through etching, while introducing hydroxyl functional groups to lower the adsorption energy barrier of reactant molecules and significantly improve the low-temperature activity of the catalyst. The reaction between water vapor and carbon species on the catalyst surface can form a carbon nanotube framework, which inhibits the migration and aggregation of metal particles in high-temperature reactions and enhances the catalyst's resistance to sintering. After activation, the number of active oxygen species on the catalyst surface is greatly increased, which can efficiently promote the conversion and removal of pollutants and exhibit excellent treatment efficiency in waste gas purification reactions.
[0022] The beneficial effects of this invention are: (1) The CoCe / AC@SiO2 catalyst for low-temperature oxidation of CO and reduction of NO of the present invention exhibits excellent synergistic removal activity of CO and NO in the low-temperature range of 100~250℃, which can solve the problem of low-temperature NO removal by existing activated carbon-supported metal active components. x It has poor activity with CO and is less effective against NO. x Problems such as low CO removal rate; (2) The present invention uses coconut shell activated carbon pretreated with ethanol as a support, which can significantly improve the catalyst’s anti-sintering ability, reaction stability and selectivity for reactions involving carbon intermediates. The process is simplified and applicable to a variety of support systems. The impregnation method can improve the dispersion of Co and Ce elements on the catalyst surface. The operation is simple and the equipment requirements are low. Joule flash evaporation rapid activation directly applies instantaneous high current to the catalyst precursor, which can create a large number of unique active structures with amorphous, high defect and metastable states. Plasma surface treatment can promote the transformation of the valence state of metal active components and generate more oxygen vacancies. Water vapor activation can significantly improve the low-temperature activity and stability of the catalyst, reduce the reaction temperature, optimize surface oxygen species, enhance anti-sintering ability and improve CO and NO removal efficiency. (3) This invention synergizes with CO-SCR (simultaneously removes CO and NO) x It can be converted into CO2 and N2) and CO-SCO (which treats low concentrations of CO, and has the characteristics of low reaction temperature and high oxidation rate), which can realize waste treatment and avoid secondary pollution.
