Description

A kind of SCR Catalysts and its preparation method of wide active temperature windows
Technical field
The present invention relates to catalyst technical field, relate in particular to a kind of SCR Catalysts and its preparation method of wide active temperature windows, specifically is that the cerium manganese titanium of wide active temperature windows is the SCR catalyst.
Technical background
Along with the increase day by day of development of modern industry and automobile quantity, the human NOx that in atmosphere, discharges is more and more, and NOx pollutes has become a serious day by day global problem.NOx comprises NO, NO as one of atmosphere major pollutants 2, N 2O, N 2O 3And N 2O 4Deng, mainly with NO and NO 2Form exist, wherein NO accounts for 95% of NOx total amount.The whole world enters the combustion process that derives from fossil fuels such as coal, oil, natural gas more than 90% among the NOx of atmosphere every year.It can cause greenhouse effects, depletion of the ozone layer and acid rain to form.
The NOx emission control is divided into stationary source denitrating flue gas and moving source NOx emission control.China is maximum in the world coal production and consumption state, also is that a few is one of country of main energy sources (coal accounts for more than 70% of primary energy) with coal in the world.Expectation is in 50 years from now on, and China is that main energy resource structure marked change can not take place with coal.The primary energy structures shape of this uniqueness coal-fired thermal power generation at the medium-term and long-term dominate of China power industry, this has just determined the coal-burning power plant is that main stationary source NOx emission control is still the main aspect that China administers NOx.In addition, the fast development of China's automotive industry has in recent years also brought the tail gas pollution of motor-driven vehicle problem that becomes increasingly conspicuous, and diesel vehicle NOx emission control also will be one of Future in China NOx emission control key content.
At present, (Selective Catalytic Reduction SCR) is regarded as NOx catalytic purification one of effective method the most to the SCR technology.Its principle is under the effect of catalyst, through adding the N that appropriate reductant optionally is reduced to NOx nonhazardous 2, realize the NOx catalytic eliminating, wherein the SCR of ammonia is to use gas denitrifying technology the most widely, and is regarded as and is hopeful to be applied to one of large diesel engine tail gas NOx purification techniques most.
The core of SCR technology is the catalyst that exploitation has high activity, thermally-stabilised and good durability, and being studied maximum is noble metal, metal oxide and molecular sieve catalyst, wherein, and with V 2O 5For the catalytic component based on vanadium of active component demonstrates catalytic performance preferably, and successfully drop into commercial application, this catalyst has advantages of high catalytic activity at 300-400 ℃, and has anti-preferably H 2O and SO 2Poisoning performance.But also there is certain problem in this catalyst: the one, and temperature window is narrow, only in 300-400 ℃ of scope, has greater activity, and low temperature active is poor; The 2nd, high-temperature selective and poor heat stability, accessory substance N during high temperature 2O growing amount showed increased; The 3rd, a large amount of uses of vanadium are all unfavorable to health and environment.
Summary of the invention
In order to overcome the problems referred to above that exist in the prior art; The SCR catalyst that the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of wide active temperature windows; Be used for fixing source and moving source denitration; Have the wide characteristics of avirulence and active temperature windows, it can realize that efficient catalytic removes nitrogen oxide in 200-500 ℃ of temperature range.
Another object of the present invention provides above-mentioned wide active temperature windows SCR Preparation of catalysts method.
The SCR catalyst of wide active temperature windows of the present invention; With the anatase titanium dioxide is that carrier, cerium oxide and manganese oxide are active component; Wherein cerium oxide and manganese oxide account for the 1-20% of catalyst quality respectively, and all the other 60-98% are the carrier anatase titanium dioxide.
Said cerium oxide adds with the form of the water-soluble salt of cerium, and manganese oxide adds with the water-soluble salt form of manganese.Preferably: said cerium oxide adds with the form of cerous nitrate or cerous acetate, and said manganese oxide adds with the form of manganese nitrate or manganese acetate.
