[0002] Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are O3 and PM2.5. 2.5 Key precursors to VOCs have caused serious harm to the ecological environment and human health. For the treatment of VOCs, catalytic combustion is one of the mainstream technologies for treating volatile organic compounds, characterized by complete catalytic oxidation and pollution-free combustion products.

[0022] As a first aspect of the present invention, the present invention provides a method for preparing a catalyst for the catalytic combustion of VOCs, comprising the following steps: (1) The cerium source, noble metal source, ligand, water and ethylene glycol are mixed evenly and heated at 50~100℃ for a first preset time. The solid-liquid separation is then performed to obtain the catalyst precursor. (2) The catalyst precursor is calcined at 400~500℃ for a second preset time to obtain the finished catalyst.
[0023] Based on the above preparation method, a one-step process is used to load noble metals onto a support, forming stable composite nanoparticles. This enhances the interaction between the noble metals and the support, thereby improving the catalytic effect. Specifically, the inventors unexpectedly discovered that, compared to catalysts synthesized via a two-step process of first preparing a cerium oxide support and then loading noble metals, the catalyst prepared in this invention exhibits significantly improved catalytic combustion performance for various types of VOCs (toluene, ethyl acetate, chlorobenzene, etc.).
[0024] Specifically, in step (1), the cerium source is a water-soluble cerium salt, which can be, for example, cerium nitrate, hydrated cerium nitrate (such as cerium nitrate hexahydrate, cerium ammonium nitrate dihydrate), cerium acetate, hydrated cerium acetate (such as cerium acetate tetrahydrate, cerium acetate sesquihydrate), cerium chloride, hydrated cerium chloride (such as cerium chloride hexahydrate, cerium chloride heptahydrate), cerium sulfate, cerium sulfate hydrate, cerium ammonium acetate, cerium ammonium sulfate, etc., but is not limited to these.

Preferably, in some embodiments, the ligand is selected from citric acid or citric acid monohydrate.
[0030] Specifically, in step (1), the molar ratio of cerium source to ligand is 1:(1.5~3), exemplarily 1:1.8, 1:2, 1:2.4, 1:2.6 or 1:2.8, but not limited thereto. Preferably, the molar ratio of cerium source to ligand is 1:(1.5~2.5), more preferably 1:(1.8~2.2), and even more preferably 1:2.
[0031] Specifically, in step (1), the molar ratio of cerium in the cerium source to the volume of ethylene glycol is 2-20 mmol: 0.2-3 mL; exemplary ratios are 5 mmol: 0.7 mL, 9 mmol: 1.1 mL, 13 mmol: 1.5 mL, 13 mmol: 1.9 mL, 17 mmol: 2.3 mL, or 19 mmol: 2.7 mL. Preferably, the molar ratio of cerium in the cerium source to the volume of ethylene glycol is 3-10 mmol: 0.5-2 mL, more preferably 3-8 mmol: 0.5-1.5 mL; and even more preferably 5 mmol: 1 mL.
[0032] Specifically, in step (1), the molar ratio of cerium in the cerium source to the volume of water is 2~20 mmol: 5~20 mL; exemplary ratios are 3 mmol: 8 mL, 7 mmol: 12 mL, 9 mmol: 15 mL, 11 mmol: 18 mL or 19 mmol: 20 mL; preferably 3~10 mmol: 6~15 mL, more preferably 3~8 mmol: 8~12 mL; and even more preferably 5 mmol: 10 mL.
[0033] Specifically, in step (1), the weight of the precious metal element in the precious metal source is 0.05% to 1% of the weight of cerium in the cerium source; exemplary values are 0.08%, 0.1%, 0.25%, 0.4%, 0.55%, 0.7%, or 0.85%, but not limited thereto. Preferably, in some embodiments, the weight of the precious metal element in the precious metal source is 0.4% to 0.8% of the weight of cerium in the cerium source, more preferably 0.4% to 0.7%, and even more preferably 0.4% to 0.5%.
[0034] For example, in step (1), the temperature of the heating reaction is 55°C, 60°C, 65°C, 70°C, 75°C, 80°C, 85°C or 90°C, but is not limited thereto. Preferably it is 60°C to 90°C, more preferably it is 70°C to 85°C.
[0035] Specifically, in step (1), the first preset time is 5 to 15 hours, for example 6 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, 12 hours or 14 hours; preferably 8 to 14 hours, more preferably 10 to 12 hours.
[0036] Preferably, in some embodiments, in step (1), the cerium source, the noble metal source, the coordinating agent, the additive, water and ethylene glycol are mixed evenly; wherein, the additive is selected from one or more of sodium borohydride, potassium borohydride and lithium borohydride; by introducing boron-containing additives, the electron density of noble metals can be reduced by boron modification, and the ability to activate molecular oxygen can be enhanced, thereby improving the catalytic performance. Not only is the catalytic performance for a variety of VOCs improved, but the inventors also unexpectedly discovered that when boron-containing additives are introduced, the water resistance of the prepared catalyst is greatly enhanced, which makes the catalyst of the present invention suitable for the treatment of some high humidity industrial waste gases.
[0037] Preferably, in some embodiments, in step (1), the precious metal source is a platinum source and a palladium source, the platinum source is platinum nitrate, and the palladium source is palladium acetate; the weight ratio of platinum in the platinum source to the weight of palladium in the palladium source is 1:0.8~1.5. Alternatively, the precious metal source is a platinum source and a ruthenium source, the platinum source is platinum nitrate, and the ruthenium source is ruthenium chloride; the weight ratio of platinum in the platinum source to the weight of ruthenium in the ruthenium source is 1:0.8~1.5. By using the above-mentioned precious metal source, the conversion temperature (T0) of different volatile organic compounds can be reduced. 50 T 90 This invention simplifies the catalytic combustion process. It's important to note that traditional catalysts for catalytic combustion often focus on the conversion efficiency of a single VOC. However, the inventors discovered during experiments that different VOCs exhibit significant differences in reactivity on the same catalyst, leading to substantial differences in their conversion temperatures. For example, a certain catalyst has a T90 of 200°C for toluene but a T90 as high as 260°C for chlorobenzene. This large T90 difference makes it difficult to achieve simultaneous and efficient removal of multiple VOCs within a narrow temperature window during catalytic combustion. Either a lower combustion temperature (e.g., 200°C) results in high toluene removal but low chlorobenzene removal, or a higher combustion temperature (e.g., 260°C) leads to high removal rates for both but also high energy consumption and operating costs. In this invention, by using a boron-containing additive, a one-step synthesis method, and specific types and ratios of precious metals, the differences in T50 and T90 for different VOCs are effectively reduced, enabling simultaneous, low-energy removal of multiple VOCs within a narrower temperature window.
[0038] Specifically, in step (2), the calcination temperature is 400~500℃, exemplarily 420℃, 440℃, 460℃, 480℃ or 490℃, but not limited thereto. Preferably it is 440~500℃.
[0039] Specifically, in step (2), the second preset time is 2~8h, 2.5h, 4h, 5.5h, 7h or 7.5h, but is not limited to this. Preferably it is 2~5h, more preferably 4h.
[0040] Accordingly, as a second aspect of the present invention, a catalyst for the catalytic combustion of VOCs is also disclosed, which is prepared by the above-described preparation method. By directly mixing a cerium source, a noble metal source, a coordinating agent, water, and ethylene glycol, followed by heating and calcination, a one-step synthesis of the catalyst yields composite and stable nanoparticles, improving the catalytic effect and simplifying the preparation steps. Furthermore, the catalyst of the present invention significantly enhances the catalytic combustion performance of various types of VOCs (toluene, ethyl acetate, chlorobenzene, etc.).
[0041] Accordingly, as a third aspect of the present invention, the present invention also provides a method for combustion of industrial waste gas containing VOCs, which includes the step of mixing the above-mentioned catalyst with the industrial waste gas for catalytic combustion.
[0042] More specifically, the catalyst is first granulated into 40-60 mesh particles, and then mixed with industrial waste gas for catalytic combustion, but is not limited to this.

The VOCs conversion rate is defined as the volume percentage of VOCs entering the reactor that is converted, i.e., the difference in volume percentage of VOCs between the inlet and outlet gases relative to the volume percentage of VOCs in the inlet gas. Where T... 50 With T 90 The temperatures at which VOCs conversion rates are 50% and 90% are indicated. Specific test results are shown in the table below:
[0064] A comparison of Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 shows that the one-step synthesis method of this application can effectively improve the catalytic performance of the catalyst for various VOCs. A comparison of Examples 1-4 and Comparative Example 1 shows that introducing NaBH4 into the reactants not only effectively improves the catalytic performance (see Example 1). Figures 1-2 Furthermore, it improved the catalyst's water resistance (see...). Figures 3-4 Furthermore, SEM images showed that B and Pt were uniformly dispersed in the catalyst. A comparison of Examples 2 and 6-9 demonstrates that by employing multiple noble metal sources in specific proportions, the To ratio among various VOCs can be reduced. 90 This improves combustion efficiency.
