The invention belongs to the technical field of catalyst preparation, in particular to the technical field of automobile exhaust catalyst preparation, and particularly relates to a low-temperature NO storage catalyst for automobile exhaust purification and a preparation method thereof.
The heavy-duty engine emission test cycle has been upgraded from the ETC cycle of China V vehicle emission standards to the WHTC cycle of China VI vehicle emission standards. In the cold cycle of diesel engine WHTC, it takes at least 400 s for SCR inlet temperature to reach above 200° C. At this time, urea injection is started, and NO is reduced to N2 through SCR. For some engines with poor emissions in cold start stage, the emissions in cold start stage may be close to the regulatory limit. In the cold start cycle of natural gas engine WHTC, it takes at least 250 s for the inlet temperature of TWC to reach above 300° C., and then the conversion of TWC to NO begins. In addition, in the National VIb stage of China, the whole vehicle PEMS test was added for heavy vehicles, and the average exhaust temperature was lower than the exhaust temperature of engine WHTC cycle. Therefore, the NO emission in the cold start stage will become one of the difficulties in the China VI vehicle emission standards, especially the China VIb vehicle emission standards.
One of the ways to solve the NO emission of automobile in cold start stage is to add a NOx adsorption catalyst on the exhaust pipe of automobile. Traditionally, NO adsorption catalysts are mainly molecular sieves. The adsorption and storage capacity of NO by different types of molecular sieves are quite different, and the molecular sieves suitable for adsorption and storage of NO under the condition of automobile exhaust include SAPO, BETA, SSZ and the like. Adding a certain amount of noble metals or transition metals to molecular sieve materials can improve the adsorption capacity of NOR, among which the addition of noble metals Pd or Pt can improve the adsorption capacity of NO most significantly.
The object of the present invention is to provide a low-temperature NO storage catalyst which is mainly used to purify NO in the cold start stage of heavy diesel vehicles or heavy natural gas vehicles, and a preparation method thereof. In the cold start stage, the catalyst of the invention stores NO emitted by automobiles, and after the temperature rises, NO is released, wherein NO released by diesel vehicles reacts on the downstream SCR. The NOx released by the natural gas vehicle reacts on the downstream TWC to purify the NO emitted at low temperature. The catalyst coating mainly uses molecular sieve as carrier material and noble metal as active component. Active components include but are not limited to noble metal elements such as Pt and Pd. Molecular sieves include but are not limited to BETA, SAPO and SSZ molecular sieves.
In this invention, the storage capacity of Pt and Pd in different proportions on SAPO-34 molecular sieve for NOR was studied, and the results showed that the catalyst with high Pt and low Pd had higher storage capacity for NOR. Furthermore, the high Pt and low Pd loading on SSZ-13 and BETA molecular sieves were compared. The results showed that SSZ-13 had higher NOR adsorption capacity when used as adsorbent. Furthermore, SSZ-13 with high Pt and low Pd loading was selected to optimize the preparation process. The roasting temperature of catalyst powder and catalyst was increased from 500° C. to 800° C., and the storage capacity of the prepared catalyst for NOR was further improved.
The preparation method of the catalyst adopted by the invention is as follows: first, the active component is loaded on the molecular sieve material, then dried, roasted and solidified, and finally, the slurry is coated on the cordierite substrate. The method is simple in process and easy to operate.
The invention is realized by the following technical solutions:
(1) Loading a noble metal salt solution on molecular sieve by equal volume impregnation method, wherein the noble metal salt solution comprises but not limited to palladium nitrate and platinum nitrate, and the molecular sieve comprises but not limited to SSZ, SAPO and BETA, and the content of noble metals in element accounts for more than 0% and no more than 3% by mass of the coating, then drying at 60-120° C. for 2-6 h, roasting at 500-550° C. in air for 2-5 h, and further roasting at 750-850° C. in air for 2-5 h to obtain M1;
(2) Mixing M1 and aluminum sol, ball milling and pulping to obtain a noble metal slurry N1;
(3) Coating the slurry N1 on a carrier, wherein the loading on the coating is 100-250 g/L and the noble metal content is 10-150 g/ft3, drying at 60-120° C. for 2-6 h, then roasting at 500-550° C. in air for 2-5 h, and further continuing roasting at 750-850° C. in air for 2-5 h, to obtain the catalyst.
In the above step, the noble metal precursors are preferably platinum nitrate and palladium nitrate or other soluble salts.
In that above step, the ratio of noble metal platinum and palladium in the monolithic catalyst is preferably 1:9-9:1.
The molecular sieve is one of or a mixture of more of SSZ, SAPO or BETA.
The method has the advantages that noble metals Pt and Pd are loaded into the pore channels of the molecular sieve, such that the storage capacity of the catalyst for NOR at low temperature is improved.
According to the characteristics of exhaust temperature and original exhaust of different types of engines, different types of molecular sieves are selected as NOR storage units.
According to the invention, by increasing the roasting temperature of the molecular sieve powder and the catalyst supported by Pt and Pd, the storage capacity of NOR is obviously increased.
The noble metal-based molecular sieve NOx storage catalyst prepared by the invention has larger NOx storage capacity and can reduce the catalyst volume matched with the engine.
The invention adopts the traditional equal volume impregnation process and pulping process, which is simple and feasible.

The catalysts prepared in the above examples were tested for activity evaluation under the following test conditions.
The temperature of the catalyst was programmatically elevated to 450° C. in 5% 02 atmosphere, kept at constant temperature for 1 hour, cooled to 25° C., and the experimental atmosphere was switched to 5% NO, kept at constant temperature for 30 min, then switched to N2, and the temperature was increased to 450° C. at 10° C./min. In the test, NO was used to replace NOx in the exhaust emission. The relative adsorption amount of NO in each Example and Comparative Example is shown in
As can be seen from
1) Compared with Comparative Example C0, Examples C1 and C2 have the same molecular sieve. Comparative Example C0 does not contain noble metals, and C1 and C2 are loaded with noble metals Pd and Pt respectively. The relative adsorption capacity of NO increased greatly after Loading a noble metals in molecular sieves.
2) In Examples C1-05, the molecular sieves were the same, but the noble metals and proportions were different. Compared with C1, C2 had a higher adsorption capacity of NO, such that Pt, as an active component, had a higher adsorption capacity of NO than Pd. C3-05 were catalysts with different ratios of Pt and Pd, and the tendencies were the same as those of C1 and C2. C2 and C4 with higher Pt content had relatively higher adsorption capacity.
3) In Example C6, compared with C4, noble metals and proportions were the same, but molecular sieves were different. Compared with C4, C6 molecular sieve changed from SAPO-34 to SSZ-13, and the relative adsorption capacity of NO increased.
4) In Example C7, compared with C4, noble metals and proportions were the same, but molecular sieves were different. Compared with C4, C7 molecular sieve changed from SAPO-34 to BETA, the relative adsorption capacity of NO decreased.
5) In Example C8, compared with C6, the noble metals and proportions were the same, and the molecular sieve was the same. The main difference was the roasting temperature of molecular sieve powder supported by noble metals. Compared with C6, C8 powders, when the roasting temperature was increased from 500° C. to 800° C., the relative NO adsorption capacity of the prepared catalyst was further significantly improved.
The above experiments show that, (a) the storage capacity of NO is greatly increased after noble metals are loaded in molecular sieves; and (b) when loaded on molecular sieve, compared with Pd, the storage capacity of NO is relatively larger for noble metal Pt; and (c) under the premise of loading the same noble metals, the storage capacity of NO by BETA, SAPO-34 and SSZ-13 molecular sieves increases in turn; and (d) increasing the roasting temperature of the noble metal-loaded molecular sieve results in further increasing the NO storage capacity.
