The invention relates to the technical field of catalysts, in particular to a
chromium fluoride catalyst for a
hydrofluorocarbon HF removal reaction and a preparation method and application of the
chromium fluoride catalyst. Comprising the following steps: (1) precipitating and aging a
chromium salt to obtain a trivalent chromium precipitate, mixing the trivalent chromium precipitate with
ammonium fluoride, carrying out ball milling, and
drying to obtain a chromium fluoride precursor, the
mass ratio of the trivalent chromium precipitate to the
ammonium fluoride being 1: (0.7-1.4); and (2) carrying out
roasting fluorination treatment on the chromium fluoride precursor, and carrying out
hydrogen fluoride fluorination treatment to obtain the chromium fluoride catalyst. The trivalent chromium precipitate and
ammonium fluoride are subjected to ball-milling mixing, so that
ammonium fluoride and chromium
hydroxide are subjected to a pre-fluorination reaction, heat release in subsequent
roasting fluorination treatment is reduced, the
roasting fluorination treatment process is milder,
ammonia gas generated during roasting is used as a pore-forming agent, the specific surface area and pore volume of the catalyst are increased, and the specific surface area and pore volume of the catalyst are increased. The
sintering of chromium fluoride in the high-temperature roasting process is inhibited, and meanwhile, the generation of high-valence chromium is prevented.
