Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of exhaust gas treatment technology, and particularly relates to a water-resistant low-temperature CO oxidation catalyst, a method for manufacturing the same, and an application thereof.

Background Art

[0002] China's steel production accounts for more than 50% of the world's total steel production. However, steel production in China mainly follows a long process, with many steps, high energy consumption, many types of pollution, and a large total emissions. Therefore, steel enterprises have become a major industry for air pollution. Among them, in the sintering process, a large amount of CO, an air pollutant harmful to human health and the natural environment, is generated, and the emission volume is huge. Therefore, its treatment work has already become a key issue of concern to the steel industry. Currently, there are multiple methods for removing CO from sintering flue gas, and the most effective among them is the catalytic oxidation method. On the catalyst, H 2 O chemisorption is stronger than CO 2 chemisorption, and there is a synergistic effect on the adsorption of CO 2 and H 2 O, and the co-adsorption is enhanced. From research, it has been found that water molecules are adsorbed on oxygen vacancies, inhibiting the generation of active oxygen, thereby reducing the CO oxidation reaction activity of the catalyst in humid air. In the atmosphere under actual reaction conditions, a large amount of water vapor often exists, and in most cases, the catalyst activity is severely suppressed and the catalyst efficiency decreases. In addition, other trace gases present in the flue gas also affect the catalyst performance.

[0003] In view of the above problems, it is further necessary to develop a highly efficient catalyst to solve this problem.

[0004] In view of this, the present invention is particularly proposed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0005] The object of the present invention is to provide a water-resistant low-temperature CO oxidation catalyst, a method for manufacturing the same, and an application thereof in order to solve the above problems.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solutions.

[0007] A water-resistant low-temperature CO oxidation catalyst, wherein the catalyst has a core-shell structure coated with SiO 2 and the active component contains at least two of metal oxides such as Cu, Co, Mn, Ce, Pt, Ag, Pd, and Ir.

[0008] Optionally, the crystal form of the active component includes any one or more of spinel crystal form, perovskite crystal form, and hydrotalcite-like crystal form.

[0009] A method for manufacturing the water-resistant low-temperature CO oxidation catalyst, first, manufacturing a catalyst precursor having a core-shell structure coated with SiO 2 for the active component, and then hydrophobically modifying the SiO 2 shell layer of the precursor, including the step of obtaining.

[0010] Optionally, the manufacturing of the precursor includes dissolving the active component and ethyl orthosilicate in ethanol, then adding an aqueous ammonia solution, stirring, washing, and then drying.

[0011] Optionally, the hydrophobic modification includes dispersing the precursor in n-hexane, adding chlorotrimethylsilane, performing ultrasonic treatment, then centrifuging, washing, and drying. The time of the ultrasonic treatment is 1 to 5 h. The drying is at a temperature of 60 to 100 °C and a time of 9 to 13 h.

[0012] Optionally, the ratio of the mass of the precursor to the volume of the chlorotrimethylsilane is 1:0.5 to 2, where the unit of mass is g and the unit of volume is ml.

[0013] Optionally, the production of the precursor includes first coating by atomization and then hydrolysis. The atomization coating includes atomizing an ethyl silicate ethanol solution to form an atomization belt, and flowing the active ingredient air flow into the atomization belt to achieve coating of the active ingredient with ethyl silicate droplets. The hydrolysis includes putting the product obtained by the atomization coating into an alkaline solution for hydrolysis, and then sequentially performing centrifugation, filtration and dehydration.

[0014] Using the atomization-hydrolysis method, a core-shell structure in which a polymetallic oxide active ingredient is coated with a porous silica shell layer is formed. The catalytic active ingredient becomes the condensation nucleus, and the liquid condenses into a spherical shape under the action of molecular tension, whereby the performance of the produced catalyst is more excellent.

[0015] Optionally, the production of the precursor further includes a. The mass fraction of the ethyl silicate ethanol solution is 10 to 55%, and by changing the concentration of orthoethyl silicate, the thickness of the SiO 2 shell layer can be adjusted. Reducing the thickness of the shell layer is advantageous for the implementation of the catalytic oxidation process, and b. The alkaline solution includes an aqueous ammonia solution and / or a sodium hydroxide solution. c. The aqueous ammonia solution has a mass fraction of 5 to 15% and a temperature of 50 to 70 °C. d. The sodium hydroxide solution has a concentration of 0 to 0.01 Mol / L and a temperature of 15 to 35 °C. e. The hydrolysis time is 3 to 5 h. f. The dehydration satisfies one or more of the conditions that the temperature is 40 to 60 °C and the time is 8 to 14 h.

[0016] The thickness of the porous silica shell layer has an important influence on the activity and hydrophobicity of the catalyst. When the thickness is large, due to the hydrophobic groups on the surface, it is difficult for water to enter the core of the catalyst, but it also becomes difficult for reaction molecules to enter. In the present invention, by adjusting the reaction parameters, the thickness of the porous silica shell layer can be flexibly adjusted. In particular, by adjusting the concentration of ethyl silicate ethanol, the thickness of the porous shell layer can be effectively adjusted between 5 and 50 nm. The method is simple and feasible, and the adjustment effect is good. The present invention further provides an application of the manufacturing method, and the method is applied to the manufacture of a CO-SCR catalyst.

[0017] Optionally, the constituent metal elements of the active component used in the manufacture of the CO-SCR catalyst are Ir and Mn, and the element dosage ratio of Ir to Mn is 0.5 to 1.5:100.

Advantages of the Invention

[0018] The beneficial effects of the present invention are as follows.

[0019] The water-resistant low-temperature CO oxidation catalyst provided by the present invention has a silica shell layer structure and a core of a metal oxide active component, has high water resistance and high catalyst activity. Through experimental verification, under the water-containing condition at 180 °C, the conversion rate of carbon monoxide can reach 100%.

[0020] The present invention first coats the active substance, and then hydrophobically modifies the outer surface of the shell layer to form a core-shell structured catalyst, thereby realizing excellent water resistance performance on the premise of having high catalyst activity, solving the problem that the CO oxidation reaction activity of conventional catalysts decreases in humid air, improving the use efficiency of the catalyst, and enriching its application scenarios.

[0021] The manufacturing method provided by the present invention can manufacture a water-resistant low-temperature CO oxidation catalyst with excellent performance. In addition, by selecting the active component and dosage, a denitration catalyst can also be manufactured, and its applications are wide.

[0026] In S2, the precursor was prepared. The active ingredient obtained in S1 was dispersed in ethanol by ultrasonic waves, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was added, and stirred at 450 rpm for 4 h.

At this time, after the ethyl silicate mist particles in the atomization chamber 3 coated the active component, the ethyl silicate mist particles gradually grew with the active component as the core and entered the collector 5 under the action of gravity for hydrolysis.

[0033] The TEM image of the water - resistant low - temperature CO oxidation catalyst obtained in Example 1 is as shown in Figure 2. As can be seen from Figure 2, the core - shell catalyst can be effectively synthesized using the method provided in the present invention.

[0034] The conditions for the performance test are the same as those in Comparative Example 1.
