Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of catalytic material preparation, specifically relating to a catalyst with both redox sites and acid sites for use in the pharmaceutical industry, its preparation method, and its application in the catalysis of chlorine-containing mixed VOCs. Background Technology
[0002] As one of the six major industrial emission sources, the pharmaceutical industry emits volatile organic compounds (VOCs) with a complex composition, including oxygenated VOCs (OVOCs), chlorinated VOCs (CVOCs), and aromatic hydrocarbons. These VOCs undergo a series of chemical reactions in the atmosphere, causing air pollution such as smog and ozone, which seriously harms the environment and human health.
[0003] In recent years, catalytic combustion technology (catalytic oxidation) has attracted widespread attention from researchers. This technology can achieve efficient VOCs removal with the help of catalysts, operates at low temperatures (below 500 °C), and produces minimal secondary pollution, significantly improving VOCs treatment efficiency and reducing energy consumption. The core of catalytic oxidation technology is a high-performance catalyst. Research has found that redox sites in the catalyst weaken the conjugation between C–Cl bonds through electron-withdrawing impacts, thus breaking the C–Cl bonds. However, due to the electronegativity of chlorine species, they are easily adsorbed onto redox sites. If they cannot be rapidly transferred and removed from the catalyst surface, they will combine with metals to form metal chlorides, thereby poisoning and deactivating the catalyst. Therefore, in the oxidation of chlorine-containing mixed VOCs, it is necessary to introduce dechlorination sites and maintain an appropriate distance from the redox sites to overcome the problem of chlorine species not being able to migrate and transform rapidly, leading to catalyst poisoning. Recent studies have shown that acid sites in the catalyst play a crucial role in C–Cl bond breaking and chlorine species migration and transformation. The breaking of the C–Cl bond is mainly related to Lewis acids, while the catalyst's ability to migrate and transform chlorine species is closely related to Brønsted acid sites (Brønsted acids). Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the acid sites and oxygen vacancies in the catalyst to enable the two active sites to cooperate efficiently and improve the catalyst's degradation efficiency for chlorine-containing mixed VOCs. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to overcome the shortcomings of the prior art and provide a catalyst with both redox sites and acid sites for use in the pharmaceutical industry, a preparation method, and its application in the catalysis of chlorine-containing mixed VOCs.

[0008] (3) The mixed components obtained in step (2) are heated and evaporated into a paste, dried and calcined to obtain a catalyst with both redox sites and acid sites.
[0009] Furthermore, the metal salt solution mentioned in step (1) is one or more of cobalt salt, cerium salt, manganese salt, and nickel salt; the preferred metal salt is cobalt salt.

Detailed Implementation
[0021] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solution of the present invention, the present invention will be further described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and preferred embodiments.
[0022] Example 1
[0023] A method for preparing a catalyst possessing both redox sites and acid sites, comprising the following steps:
[0024] (1) Prepare a precursor solution with redox sites in the catalyst by mixing 80 mL of cobalt nitrate aqueous solution (concentration of 0.25 mmol / mL) with 20 mL of citric acid aqueous solution (concentration of 1.00 mmol / mL);
[0025] (2) Weigh out HZSM-5 molecular sieve with a mass ratio of 1:2 to cobalt nitrate and a silicon-aluminum atomic ratio of 50:1 and disperse it in the precursor solution obtained in step (1), and stir until homogeneous;
[0026] (3) The mixed components obtained in step (2) are heated and evaporated at 80 °C for 6 h to form a paste, then dried at 110 °C for 3 h, and then calcined at 450 °C for 3 h to obtain 5 g of catalyst A which has both redox sites and acid sites.
[0027] 0.10 g of the prepared catalyst A was weighed and subjected to a fixed-bed reaction. The mixed gas contained 1000 ppm of dichloromethane standard gas (nitrogen as the balance gas), 1000 ppm of acetone standard gas (nitrogen as the balance gas), and 20% O2 by volume. The space velocity was 15000 mL / (g·h), and the activity was tested at 100–400 °C. The concentrations of reactants and products were determined by gas chromatography, and the VOCs conversion rate was calculated as [(VOCs concentration at reactor inlet - VOCs concentration at reactor outlet) / (VOCs concentration at reactor inlet)] × 100%.
[0028] Figure 1 The transmission electron microscope (TEM) image and elemental distribution image of catalyst A show that the metal oxides providing redox sites are in close contact and uniformly dispersed with the HZSM-5 molecular sieve providing acid sites, which will facilitate the migration and transformation of dechlorination species. Figure 2 In Comparative Example 3, the redox sites and acid sites are randomly distributed, which is not conducive to their synergistic effect. Figure 3 The catalytic oxidation activity and stability of catalyst A and the catalysts prepared in the comparative example for dichloromethane and acetone were tested. Figure 3 (a) ~ Figure 3 (b) On catalyst A, the temperatures required for 90% degradation of dichloromethane and acetone are 292 °C and 281 °C, respectively, which are lower than the temperatures required in the comparative example; furthermore, Figure 3 (c)~ Figure 3 (d) shows that catalyst A can maintain 90% degradation efficiency of dichloromethane and acetone for at least 100 h at 300 °C, while the control catalyst is severely deactivated after 20 h.

[0059] As shown in the table, the conversion rates of the catalyst for dichloromethane and acetone are related to the type of metal salt, the mass ratio of the molecular sieve to the metal salt, the silicon-to-aluminum atomic ratio of the molecular sieve, and the calcination temperature. When the metal salt is cobalt nitrate, the mass ratio of the molecular sieve to the metal salt is 1:2, the silicon-to-aluminum atomic ratio of the molecular sieve is 50:1, and the calcination temperature is 450 ℃, the catalyst requires a lower temperature to oxidize the mixed components of dichloromethane and acetone. Therefore, by adjusting the appropriate acidic and redox site strengths and distances between the molecular sieve and the metal oxide, and ensuring their efficient "coordination," the efficient removal of chlorine-containing mixed VOCs can be achieved, providing a significant possibility for the treatment of VOCs emitted from the pharmaceutical industry.
