Description

The electrochemical catalyst converter
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of electrochemical catalyst converter (or claiming the electrochemical catalysis converter); Especially refer to a kind of content that can effectively lower nitrogen oxides of exhaust gas, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and shot-like particle, so as to the electrochemical catalyst converter of control toxic emission.
Background technology
Pure and fresh and clean air is one of people's basic important document of living, and breathes clean free of contamination air and can guarantee human stable existence healthily.The brilliance of science and technology promotes, though drive rapid economic development, yet, come from the toxic emission of the vehicles and the various factory of standing in great numbers, really also cause air to be polluted, and very huge to human lives's air quality influence.Wherein, heavy industry factory and motor-driven are the main sources of numerous polluters.
With motor vehicles is example, improve though motor-driven discharge standard is disconnected because disconnected increasing, a discharging waste gas with air pollution problems inherent, still grow with each passing day.In general, the running of motor vehicle engine is that multi-form fuel is discharged heat energy via the cylinder internal combustion, and produces transmission power; Yet in combustion process; The waste gas that produces comprise usually nitrogen oxide (NOx), carbon monoxide (CO), hydrocarbon (hydrocarbons, HCs), (particulate matter PM) waits noxious pollutant to shot-like particle; These materials not only can form photochemical fog (photochemical smog); More can destroy the deterioration of ozone, aggravation greenhouse effects and cause acid rain etc., and then destroy ecological environment, be detrimental to health.
Wherein, carbon monoxide is from the imperfect combustion of engine, and what itself and ferroheme were combined into Carbon monoxide haemoglobin (COHb) can be combined into oxyhaemoglobin (HbO for ferroheme and oxygen 2) 300 times, so carbon monoxide is dense when too high in the air, with the function that influences the ferroheme delivering oxygen; Nitrogen oxide is then from the chemical combination of nitrogen and oxygen, mainly with nitric oxide (NO) or nitrogen dioxide (NO 2) form discharge; Form poisonous photochemical fog and after ultraviolet ray irradiation, react with hydrocarbon; Have special odor, stimulate eyes, injure plant; And atmospheric visibility is reduced, and nitrogen oxide and airborne water reaction formation nitric acid and nitrous acid, be composition for acid rain; Hydrocarbon can stimulate respiratory system when low concentration, if concentration improves, then can exert an influence to the running function of maincenter through system.
Therefore; No matter advanced countries such as China or European Union, Japan, the U.S.; All stipulated the waste gas emission standard (like U.S. rule BIN5 and Europe rule EURO 6) that benefit becomes strict; Stipulate standard to exhaust gas discharging such as nitrogen oxide, carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon and shot-like particles,, encourage the dealer to make, research and develop, introduce simultaneously and use the technological product of the anti-system of up-to-date pollution so as to control and minimizing discharge of harmful gases.

Selective catalytic reduction system operating is to utilize ammonia (NH 3) or urea (urea, CO (NH 2) 2) aqueous solution is as reactant, aqueous solution of urea injects blast pipe through nozzle can form ammonia with the water reaction, then reacts with nitrogen oxide again, makes it change nitrogen (N into 2) and water (H 2O).Yet the ammonia of tool toxicity is difficult for leaking outside except that storage the risk, can cause secondary pollution when it reacts incomplete; Moreover, this selective catalytic reduction system operating bulky, and most must collocation sophisticated sensor assist control.
In addition, " the Electrochemical catalytic reduction cell for the reduction of NOx in an O of No. the 5401372nd, United States Patent (USP) 2-containing exhaust emission " disclose a kind of device of independent removal nitrogen oxide, be to utilize the electrochemical catalysis reduction reaction, cooperate vanadic anhydride (vanadium pentaoxide, V 2O 5) the auxiliary conversion of nitrogen oxides of catalyst is nitrogen; This device must additional power source supply, one of cause in this device electrochemical cell to operate, so not only expend the energy and can't reach the target of removing pernicious gas in the waste gas simultaneously.
In addition; " the electrochemical catalyst converter of control toxic emission and generating " that No. the 201010232080.5th, one Chinese patent application; It is another origination techniques of the inventor of this case; It discloses a kind of converter that waste gas is electric energy that transforms, and the harmful substance that not only can transform in the waste gas is pollution-free material, and reaches the purpose that generating utilizes; Yet; This device must extra fuel supply, cause the solid-oxide fuel cell running in this device, so not only consume fuel and palpus fuel up treatment system when being used in motor vehicles; Increase fixing and running cost, and can reduce the useful life of device because of fuel causes carbon distribution.
