The zeolite-based materials having a Cu-containing skeletal structure CHA, used in some examples herein, were essentially prepared as disclosed in US 8,293,199 B2. See, in particular, Example 2 of US 8,293,199 B2 (column 15, pages 26-52).
[0159] Comparative Example 1: Method for preparing a selective catalytic reduction catalyst made of a copper-containing zeolite material not according to the present invention Slurry 1: CuO powder with a Dv50 of 33 μm was added to water. The amount of CuO was calculated so that the total amount of copper (calculated as CuO) contained in the coating after firing was 4.15% by mass based on the mass of chabazite. The resulting mixture was ground using a continuous grinding apparatus so that the particle Dv50 value was approximately 2 μm and the particle Dv90 value was approximately 5 μm. The resulting slurry had a solid content of 8% by mass based on the mass of the slurry. Acetic acid and an aqueous solution of zirconium acetate were added to the CuO-containing mixture forming the slurry. The amount of acetic acid was calculated so that it amounted to 1.7% by mass of chabazite, and the amount of zirconium acetate was calculated so that the amount of zirconia in the coating (calculated as ZrO2) was 5% by mass based on the mass of chabazite. Separately, chabazite (Dv50 of 2.2 μm, SiO2:Al2O3 of 18, average crystal size of 0.4 μm (SEM analysis)) was added to water to form a mixture with a solid content of 36% by mass, based on the mass of the mixture. This Cu-chabazite mixture was mixed into a copper-containing slurry. At this time, the amount of Cu-chabazite was calculated to be 84% of the amount of coating supported on the catalyst after calcination. The obtained slurry was pulverized using a continuous grinding apparatus until the particle Dv90 value was approximately 4.5 μm.
[0160] Slurry 2: Separately, based on the mass of the slurry, it has a solid content of 12% by mass, and consists of water and alumina (Al2O3 95% by mass, SiO2 5% by mass, BET specific surface area approximately 180 m²). 2 An aqueous slurry containing alumina ( / g, Dv90 approximately 5μm) was prepared. The amount of alumina + silica was calculated so that the amount of alumina + silica after calcination would be 10% by mass based on the mass of chabazite.
[0161] Subsequently, when slurries 1 and 2 were combined, the solid content of the final slurry was approximately 31% by mass, based on the total mass of the final slurry.
[0162] A porous, uncoated wall-flow filter substrate, silicon carbide (average porosity 60.5%, average pore size 20 μm, 350 CPSI, wall thickness 0.33 mm (13 mil), diameter: 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) × length: 6 inches (152.4 mm)) was coated twice with the final slurry from the inlet end to the outlet end, covering 100% of the substrate's axial length. To achieve this, the substrate was immersed in the final slurry from the inlet end until the slurry reached the top of the substrate. Furthermore, a pressure pulse was applied to the inlet end to uniformly disperse the slurry within the substrate. The coated substrate was then dried at 130°C for 30 minutes and fired at 450°C for 2 hours. This was repeated once. The final coating load after firing was approximately 1.68 g / in, based on the mass of the CHA zeolite material. 3 CHA zeolite-based material, 0.17 g / in 3 Alumina + Silica, approximately 0.084 g / in 3 Approximately 2 g / in (calculated as CuO) along with zirconia and 4.15 mass% Cu. 3 That's what happened.

[0164] In the first step, a zeolite material having a skeletal CHA structure (Dv50 of 5 μm, SiO2:Al2O3 of 18, average crystal size of approximately 0.4 μm (SEM analysis), and pore volume of 1 m / g) was added to an aqueous copper acetate solution (Cu content of 3.51 mass%, calculated as CuO). The aqueous copper acetate solution was provided in an amount sufficient to fill the pores of the CHA zeolite material by induce wetness impregnation, such that the Cu content, calculated as CuO, was approximately 4.15 mass%. After impregnation, the Cu-containing zeolite material was calcined in air at 500°C for 2 hours.
[0165] In the second step, alumina sol (solid content 22-25% by mass, Dv50 of alumina sol approximately 90 nm) was dispersed in water and impregnated into the calcined Cu-zeolite material so that the mass percentage of alumina after calcination was 10% by mass based on the mass of the zeolite material. After impregnation, the Cu-zeolite material + alumina was calcined in air at 500°C for 2 hours. Subsequently, the calcined Cu-zeolite + alumina was dispersed in water and an aqueous zirconium acetate solution to form a slurry. The amount of zirconium acetate was calculated so that the amount of zirconia in the coating, calculated as ZrO2, was 5% by mass based on the mass of the zeolite material. Finally, acetic acid (1.7% by weight based on the mass of the zeolite material) was added to the slurry. The obtained slurry was pulverized using a continuous grinding apparatus so that the particle size Dv90 value was approximately 4 μm, and the solid content of the obtained slurry was adjusted to 31% by mass based on the mass of the slurry.
[0166] The obtained slurry was processed according to the method described in Comparative Example 1 above, using a porous, uncoated wall flow filter substrate, silicon carbide, (average porosity 60.5%, average pore size 20 μm, 350 CPSI, wall thickness 0.33 mm (13 mil), diameter: 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) × The length was 6 inches (152.4 mm) and coated twice.

As a result, the Dv90 value of the particles in the obtained Cu zeolite calcined body + alumina slurry was approximately 4 μm, and the solid content of the obtained slurry was adjusted to 31% by mass, similar to Reference Example 5.
[0168] Separately, the cerium-zirconium mixed oxide (Ce content (calculated as CeO2) is approximately 70% by mass based on the total mass of the mixed oxide, Zr content (calculated as ZrO2) is approximately 30% by mass based on the total mass of the mixed oxide, and the BET specific surface area is 222 m² 2 La (19.2 μm) was added to a lanthanum nitrate solution (calculated as 13% by mass of lanthanum, La2O3) in an amount sufficient to fill the pores of the mixed oxide (intensive wetness impregnation), so that the La content (calculated as La2O3) was 10% by mass based on the mass of the mixed oxide. After impregnation, the La+Ce-Zr mixed oxide was calcined in air at 590°C for 2 hours. The calcined La-doped Ce-Zr oxide was dispersed in water.
[0169] Subsequently, the calcined Cu-zeolite material + alumina (Dv90 approximately 4 μm) obtained in the second step of Reference Example 5 was added to the La+Ce-Zr oxide slurry so that the amount of Ce-Zr oxide was 20% by mass based on the mass of the zeolite material. The solid content of the resulting slurry was adjusted to 31% by mass based on the mass of the slurry.
[0170] The obtained slurry was processed according to the method described in Comparative Example 1 above, using a porous, uncoated wall flow filter substrate, silicon carbide, (average porosity 60.5%, average pore size 20 μm, 350 CPSI, wall thickness 0.33 mm (13 mil), diameter: 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) × The length was 6 inches (152.4 mm) and it was coated twice. The final coating load after firing was approximately 1.48 g / in, based on the mass of the CHA zeolite material. 3 CHA zeolite-based material, 0.148 g / in 3 Alumina, 0.32 g / in 3La-doped Ce-Zr oxide, approximately 0.074 g / in 3 Approximately 2.1 g / in (calculated as Cu) with zirconia and 4.15 mass% Cu. 3 That was the case.
[0171] Example 2: Preparation of a selective catalytic reduction catalyst comprising a copper-containing zeolite material, a first oxidizing material, and a second oxidizing material according to the present invention. The catalyst in Example 2 is a cerium-zirconium mixed oxide (based on the total mass of the mixed oxide, with a Ce content of approximately 58% by mass (calculated as CeO2), a Zr content of approximately 42% by mass (calculated as ZrO2), and 116m 2 The catalyst for Example 2 was prepared using the method of the catalyst for Example 1, except that the BET specific surface area (Dv50) of / g was replaced with 13.5 microns.

[0174] analysis For the La-Ce-Zr oxides of Examples 1-3, XRD was performed after impregnation with La and calcination. No CeOX or LaOx phases were observed; only the Ce-Zr mixed oxide phase was present (see Figure 7). Therefore, the obtained oxide was a mixed oxide of cerium and zirconium with a La oxide (La2O3) layer on top.
[0175] Example 4: Testing of catalysts from Comparative Example 1, Reference Example 5, and Examples 1-3 - NO X Regarding conversion and back pressure 4.1 NO X conversion The catalyst was hydrothermally aged in an 800°C oven for 16 hours (20% O2, 10% H2O in %N2). NO of the aged catalyst with a 20 ppm ammonia slip. X The conversion was measured in a reactor equipped with two FTIR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectrometer) units capable of measuring with a 1.5-inch core. The measurements were performed at 200°C and a space velocity of 40 k / h (500 ppm NO, NH3 / NO). X (=1.5, 5% CO2, 5% H2O, 80 ppm C3H6). The results are shown in Figure 1.
[0176] As is clear from Figure 1, the catalysts from Examples 1-3 showed improved NO2 at 200°C compared to the catalyst of Comparative Example 1 and the catalyst of Reference Example 5. X This makes it possible to obtain conversion. X The addition of NO X This shows that it leads to improved conversion rates.
[0177] 4.2 Back pressure The catalyst was aged in an 800°C oven for 16 hours (20% O2, 10% H2O in %N2), and then aged at room temperature for 27 m 3 Cold flow back pressure data for / h was recorded and is shown in Figure 2. It can be seen that the back pressure obtained using the catalysts according to the present invention (Examples 1-3) is significantly reduced compared to the back pressure obtained using the catalyst of Comparative Example 1 and the catalyst of Reference Example 5. Thus, Ce-ZrO X Formulas containing not only reduce back pressure but also NO XThis can also lead to improved conversion rates.
[0178] Comparative Example 2: Method for preparing a selective catalytic reduction catalyst containing a copper-containing zeolite material not according to the present invention Slurry 1: CuO powder with a Dv50 of 33 μm was added to water. The amount of CuO was calculated so that the total amount of copper (calculated as CuO) contained in the coating after firing was 3.5% by mass, based on the mass of chabasite. The resulting mixture was ground using a continuous grinding apparatus so that the particle Dv50 value was approximately 2 μm and the particle Dv90 value was approximately 5 μm. The resulting slurry had a solid content of 8% by mass, based on the mass of the slurry. Acetic acid and an aqueous solution of zirconium acetate were added to the CuO-containing mixture forming the slurry. The amount of acetic acid was calculated so that it was 1.7% by mass of chabasite, and the amount of zirconium acetate was calculated so that the amount of zirconia in the coating (calculated as ZrO2), based on the mass of the zeolite material, was 5% by mass.

The Cu-CHA mixture was mixed into a copper-containing slurry. The amount of Cu-CHA was calculated so that the amount of zeolite material supported after calcination was approximately 86% of the amount of coating supported on the catalyst after calcination. The resulting slurry was pulverized using a continuous grinding apparatus so that the particle Dv90 value was approximately 5 μm.

The amount of La-zirconia was calculated so that the amount of La-zirconia after calcination would be 10% by mass based on the mass of chabasite. The obtained slurry was pulverized using a continuous grinding apparatus until the particle Dv90 value was approximately 5.5 μm.

To achieve this, the substrate was immersed in the final slurry until the slurry reached the top surface of the substrate from the inlet end. Furthermore, a pressure pulse was applied to the inlet end to uniformly disperse the slurry within the substrate. The coated substrate was then dried at 130°C for 30 minutes and fired at 450°C for 2 hours. This was repeated once. The final coating load after firing was approximately 1.5 g / in, based on the mass of the CHA zeolite material. 3 CHA zeolite-based material, 0.15 g / in 3 La-zirconia, approximately 0.08 g / in 3 Along with zirconia and 3.5 mass% Cu (calculated as CuO), approximately 1.8 g / in 3 That was the case.

After impregnation, the Cu-containing zeolite material was calcined in air at 500°C for 2 hours.
[0183] In the second step, alumina sol (solid content 22-25% by mass, Dv50 at approximately 90 nm) was dispersed in water and impregnated into the calcined Cu-zeolite material so that the mass percentage of alumina was 10% by mass based on the mass of the calcined zeolite material.

[0184] Separately, the cerium-aluminum oxide (Ce content (calculated as CeO2) is approximately 50% by mass based on the total mass of Ce-Al oxides, and the Al content (calculated as Al2O3) is approximately 50% by mass based on the total mass of Ce-Al oxides, which is 155m 2The Nb content (calculated as Nb2O5) was adjusted to 10% by mass based on the mass of the Ce-Al oxide. This was achieved by impregnating ammonium niobate (V) hydrate dispersed in enough water to fill the pores of the Ce-Al oxide (intensive wetness impregnation). After impregnation, the Nb+Ce-Al oxide was calcined in air at 590°C for 2 hours. The calcined Nb-doped Ce-Al oxide was dispersed in water, and the solid content of the slurry was adjusted to 38% by mass based on the mass of the slurry.
[0185] Subsequently, a Cu-zeolite material + alumina slurry was added to the Nb-doped Ce-Al oxide slurry so that the amount of Ce-Al oxide was 20% by mass based on the mass of the zeolite material. The solid content of the resulting slurry was adjusted to 31% by mass based on the mass of the slurry.
[0186] The obtained slurry was coated twice onto a porous, uncoated wall-flow filter substrate, silicon carbide (average porosity of 60.5%, average pore size of 20 μm, 350 CPSI, wall thickness of 0.28 mm (11 mil), diameter: 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) × length: 6 inches (15.24 mm)) according to the method described in Comparative Example 2. The final coating load after firing was approximately 1.48 g / in, based on the mass of the CHA zeolite material. 3 CHA zeolite-based material, 0.15 g / in 3 Alumina, 0.33 g / in 3 Nb-doped Ce-Al oxide, approximately 0.075 g / in 3 Approximately 2.1 g / in (calculated as CuO) along with zirconia and 3.5 mass% Cu. 3 That was the case.
[0187] Example 6: Method for preparing selective catalytic reduction comprising a copper-containing zeolite material, a first oxidizing material, and a second oxidizing material according to the present invention. Slurry 1: The slurry was prepared using the same method as slurry 1 in Comparative Example 2.
[0188] Slurry 2: The slurry used in Comparative Example 1 was replaced with alumina (95% by mass Al2O3, 5% by mass SiO2, approximately 180 m 2 The slurry was prepared using the same method as Slurry 2 in Comparative Example 1, except that the solid content of the aqueous slurry was set to 35% by mass using a Dv90 with a BET specific surface area of approximately 18 μm per g.
[0189] Separately, a cerium-zirconium mixed oxide (with a Ce content of approximately 50% by mass (calculated as CeO2) and a Zr content of approximately 50% by mass (calculated as ZrO2) based on the total mass of the mixed oxide, and a pore volume of approximately 0.37 mL / g) was added to a lanthanum nitrate solution (13.4% lanthanum content (calculated as La2O3)) in an amount sufficient to fill the pores of the mixed oxide (intensive wetness impregnation), resulting in a La content of 10% by mass (calculated as La2O3) based on the mass of the mixed oxide. After impregnation, the La+Ce-Zr mixed oxide was calcined in air at 590°C for 2 hours. The calcined La-doped Ce-Zr oxide was dispersed in water, and the solid content of the slurry was adjusted to 38% by mass based on the mass of the slurry.
[0190] Subsequently, a Cu zeolite-based material + alumina slurry was added to the La-doped Ce-Zr oxide slurry so that the amount of Ce-Zr oxide was 20% by mass based on the mass of the zeolite-based material (the amount of La-doped Ce-Zr was 22% by mass based on the mass of the zeolite-based material). The solid content of the resulting slurry was adjusted to 31% by mass based on the mass of the slurry.
[0191] The resulting slurry was coated twice onto a porous uncoated wall flow filter substrate, silicon carbide, (average porosity of 60.5%, average pore diameter of 20 μm, 350 CPSI, wall thickness of 0.28 mm (11 mils), diameter: 1.5 inches (38.1 mm) × length: 6 inches (15.24 mm)) according to the method described in Comparative Example 2 above. The final coating loading after firing was (about 1.48 g / in based on the mass of the CHA zeolite-based material) 3 of the CHA zeolite-based material, 0.15 g / in 3 of alumina, 0.33 g / in 3 of Ce-Zr oxide doped with La, about 0.075 g / in 3 of zirconia, and (together with 3.5% by mass of Cu (calculated as CuO)) about 2.1 g / in 3 was.
[0192] The table summarized below is shown.
Table 2
[0193] Analysis Nb after firing 10 Ce 0.5 Al 0.5 XRD characterization of the oxides was performed (see Example 5 - Figure 8). No mixed oxide phase was observed, and both the Al2O3 phase and the CeO2 phase were observed. Thus, the resulting oxide is a mixed oxide of Al and Ce. Since Nb does not form a crystalline phase or is present in an amount below the detection limit, the oxide of Nb was not detected.
[0194] Example 7: Testing of the catalysts of Comparative Example 1, Reference Example 5, and Examples 1 to 3 - NO X Conversion NO X Conversion The catalyst was hydrothermally aged in an oven at 800 °C for 16 hours (20% O2, 10% H2O, 70% N2). NO of the aged catalyst at an ammonia slip of 20 ppm was measured in a reactor equipped with two Fourier transform infrared spectrometers capable of measuring a 1.5-inch core X Conversion was measured. The measurements were carried out at 200 °C and 600 °C, space velocities of 40 k / h and 80 k / h (500 ppm of NO, NH3 / NO X = 1.5, 5% of CO2, 5% of H2O, 80 ppm of C3H6). The results are shown in Fig. 3
[0195] As is clear from Figs. 3 and 4, the catalysts of Examples 5 and 6 can achieve improved NO X conversion at high temperature (600 °C) at 40 k / h and 80 k / h, while showing the same NO X conversion as the catalyst of Comparative Example 2 at low temperature (200 °C). Thus, it can be seen that the addition of the second oxidizing substance can improve NO X conversion
[0196] Reference Example 6: Effect of different first oxidizing materials The slurry and the catalyst were prepared similarly to the slurry of Example 6, but did not contain the second oxidizing material, and the content of the first oxidizing material was 20% by mass instead of 10% by mass. The outline is shown in Table 3 below. The coating was carried out in the same manner as in Example 5, but it was a wall-flow filter core without a porous coating, silicon carbide, (average porosity 63%, average pore diameter 20 μm, 300 CPSI and wall thickness of 0.304 mm (12 mils), diameter: 58 mm × length: 140.5 mm)
[0197]
Table 3
[0198] NO X Conversion The catalyst was hydrothermally aged (20% O2, 10% H2O, 70% N2) in an oven at 800 °C for 16 hours. At a temperature of 575 °C, a space velocity of 94 k / h, a NO[[ID=?]] X concentration of 90 ppm, and a HC concentration of 20 ppm (concentration based on the content of carbon atoms), using a 2L Euro6 engine, the NO conversion at an ammonia slip of 20 ppm of the aged catalyst was measured. The results are shown in Figure 5. X The results are shown in Figure 5.
[0199] The high-temperature NO conversion shown in Figure 6 X is considered to be approximately the same for the three designs (Reference Examples 6.1 to 6.3). That is, it can be seen that the designs containing silica alumina, La-zirconia, and alumina sol as the first oxide material result in approximately the same high TNO X conversion.
[0200] Back pressure The catalyst was aged in an oven at 800 °C for 16 hours (20% O2, 10% H2O, 70% N2). Figure 6 shows the data of the cold flow back pressure measured at a flow rate of 65 m 3 / h at room temperature. A decrease in back pressure was observed in the design containing alumina sol, and a slight advantage in back pressure was observed in the design containing La-zirconia.
[0201] Reference Example 7: Effect of different oxidants It should be noted that there seems to be an unclear or incorrect tag "? X " in the original text. I have translated it as best as possible while maintaining the integrity of the content.Reference Example 7.1 was prepared by preparing a slurry with a silica / alumina (SAR) content of 25, a Cu content (calculated as CuO) of 3.75% by mass based on the mass of chabasite, and a solid content of 30% by mass based on the mass of the slurry. The slurry was pulverized at 300 rpm for 5 minutes. The slurry was dried under stirring, calcined at 550°C for 1 hour (heating rate 5K / min), pulverized, and sieved through a 250-500 μm sieve.

[0204] Reference Example 7.2: The chabasite used in Reference Example 7.1 was diluted with α-Al2O3 so that the total amount of chabasite was the same as in Reference Example 7.1 (see Table 4). The amount of α-Al2O3 was 20% by mass based on the mass of chabasite.
[0205] Reference Example 7.3: Add silica alumina (95% by mass alumina, 5% by mass silica, 5 μm Dv90, 180 m) to the chabazite slurry of Reference Example 1.2 The amount of silica-alumina was added based on the mass of chabazite, using the BET specific surface area per g as the reference (see Table 4).

[0210] Reference Example 8: Measurement of the average crystal diameter of zeolite-based materials The average crystal size of zeolite materials was determined by analyzing zeolite material powders using TEM (transmission electron microscopy). The size of individual crystals was determined by averaging the crystal sizes of 20 to 30 individual crystals from at least two TEM images taken at magnifications ranging from 5,000 to 12,000.
