Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of catalyst technology, and in particular to a method for preparing a highly dispersed Pt-based catalyst and its application in VOCs removal. Background Technology
[0002] Catalytic degradation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is a core technology for air pollution control. Platinum-based catalysts, due to their high activity, have become the mainstream materials in this field. However, precious metal resources are scarce and expensive, and improving their atom utilization rate is key to reducing the cost of VOCs treatment. Existing methods for improving the utilization rate of precious metals have significant drawbacks: controlling the positioning of nanoparticles easily leads to the waste of atoms within the particles; single-atom catalysts relying on strong metal-support interactions are prone to metal oxidation, resulting in non-uniform active sites and easy agglomeration at high temperatures. Pt-based catalysts used in industrial VOCs catalysis require maintaining a high loading to offset the activity loss caused by agglomeration and sintering. A large number of Pt atoms are embedded inside the particles and not utilized, resulting in low atom efficiency. Furthermore, the active sites of traditional catalysts are prone to structural reconstruction, leading to poor stability and increased operation and maintenance costs. Therefore, developing precious metal-based VOCs catalytic degradation catalysts with low loading, high atom utilization rate, and high stability is a technical problem that urgently needs to be solved in this field. Summary of the Invention
[0003] In view of this, the purpose of this invention is to provide a method for preparing a highly dispersed Pt-based catalyst and its application in VOCs removal.
[0004] To achieve the above objectives, the present invention provides the following technical solution: One of the technical solutions of this invention is a method for preparing a highly dispersed Pt-based catalyst, comprising the following steps: (1) Dissolve copper salt and tin salt in dilute nitric acid solution to obtain solution A; (2) Under stirring conditions, add an aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid to solution A to obtain solution B; (3) Mix the solution B with titanium oxide until homogeneous, then dry and calcine to obtain solid A; (4) The solid A is reduced under a hydrogen atmosphere to obtain the highly dispersed Pt-based catalyst.
[0005] The second technical solution of the present invention is a highly dispersed Pt-based catalyst prepared by the above preparation method.
[0006] The third technical solution of the present invention is the application of the above-mentioned highly dispersed Pt-based catalyst in the catalytic oxidation of chlorobenzene.
[0007] The present invention discloses the following technical effects: This invention utilizes TiO2 as a support, loading platinum and copper, and introducing tin to prepare a PtSnCu trimetallic single-atom alloy catalyst via high-hydrogen reduction. Taking advantage of the larger atomic radius of Sn atoms compared to Cu, Sn atoms segregate to the surface of Cu nanoparticles. Simultaneously, leveraging the strong interaction between Pt and Sn, Pt single atoms embedded within the Cu lattice are extracted to the surface, achieving nearly 100% surface exposure of Pt atoms, with Pt existing stably in a metallic state. The Pt loading of this catalyst is as low as 0.01~0.04 wt% of titanium dioxide, an order of magnitude lower than that of ordinary platinum-based catalysts, while exhibiting excellent catalytic activity and stability. This provides a new method for the atomic-level efficient utilization of noble metal catalysts.
[0008] The catalyst provided by this invention has excellent low-temperature catalytic oxidation activity and stability of chlorobenzene. Attached Figure Description

[0035] In the examples, the formula for calculating the Pt loading in the catalyst is: loading = Pt mass / TiO2 mass × 100%.
[0036] Example 1 (1) Dissolve 0.369g of copper nitrate trihydrate in 5mL of 2mol / L dilute nitric acid, and then add 11.6mg of tin dichloride dihydrate to obtain solution A; (2) Under stirring conditions, 0.796 mL of 1 mg / mL chloroplatinic acid hexahydrate solution was added to solution A to obtain solution B; (3) Add the solution B obtained in step (2) dropwise to 1g of titanium dioxide, stir until uniformly moistened, then put it in an oven at 60℃ and dry for 12h, then put it in a muffle furnace at 500℃ for 2h (heating rate is 3℃ / min) to obtain solid A; (4) Solid A was calcined at 500°C for 1.5 h in a hydrogen environment (hydrogen concentration of 11% (v / v)) to obtain a highly dispersed Pt-based catalyst.

The concentration of chlorobenzene was controlled at 500±50 ppm by air, the total gas flow rate was 50 mL / min, and the gas space velocity was 30000 mL·g. -1 ·h -1 Real-time monitoring of chlorobenzene and CO2 concentrations via online chromatography: Figure 2The figures show the conversion rates of chlorobenzene (CB) oxidized by the catalysts prepared in Examples 1-3 and Comparative Example 1 at different temperatures. As can be seen from Figure 2, the catalysts prepared in this invention exhibit excellent chlorobenzene oxidation capabilities, with the catalyst prepared in Example 1 showing the best performance, achieving a chlorobenzene conversion rate of 90% at 340℃. When the introduction of tin is omitted during catalyst preparation, the catalytic performance of the resulting catalyst decreases significantly.
