Hierarchical pore molecular sieve catalyst for eliminating VOCs and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of environmental catalysis, in particular to a hierarchical pore molecular sieve catalyst for eliminating VOCs and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are a class of chemical substances with high toxicity and serious pollution, and are also one of the important precursors for aggravating atmospheric combined pollution. The currently widely used pollution control technologies for VOCs are basically divided into two main categories: one is physical recovery, in which VOCs are enriched by physical methods and then recovered by post-treatment, and the methods comprise porous material adsorption technology, solution absorption technology and the like. Although the method is simple to operate, the method has the problems of secondary pollution and the like. The other is the oxidative degradation of VOCs into non-toxic or low-toxicity inorganic substances such as carbon dioxide and water by using chemical or biological technology, and comprises direct combustion technology, photocatalysis technology, plasma technology, catalytic combustion technology and the like. Compared with other methods, the catalytic combustion method can treat the low-concentration VOCs waste gas at a temperature far lower than the direct oxidation temperature, has the characteristics of high purification efficiency, no secondary pollution, low energy consumption, wide application range and the like, and is one of the most effective methods in the actual VOCs treatment application at present.
The catalyst for eliminating VOCs waste gas by catalytic oxidation process mainly includes non-noble metal oxide and its compound (MnO)x,CuOx,ZrOxEtc.), perovskite catalysts (LaMnO)3,SrFeO3Etc.) and supported noble metal catalysts (Pt/ZrO)2,Pt/TiO2,Au/CeOxEtc.) three major classes. The stability and catalytic activity of non-noble metal oxides, their compounds and perovskite catalysts need to be further improved after years of research. The supported noble metal catalyst has lower VOCs eliminating reaction temperature, relatively higher selectivity and stability, and arouses the interest of researchers. The zeolite molecular sieve gradually becomes one of the research hotspots of the catalytic oxidation of the VOCs by virtue of the advantages of large specific surface area, regular pore channels, high hydrothermal stability, adjustable framework silicon-aluminum ratio and the like.
In a preparation method of a solid-phase-like VOCs degradable high-silicon ZSM-5 molecular sieve disclosed in patent CN110496595A, a silicon source, an alkali source, a template agent, a ZSM-5 molecular sieve seed crystal and water are mixed to form gel; (2) placing the gel obtained in the step (1) in a reaction kettle for hydrothermal treatment, and after the reaction is finished, carrying out solid-liquid separation, washing, drying and roasting to obtain molecular sieve raw powder; (3) and (3) putting the molecular sieve raw powder obtained in the step (2) into an ammonium salt solution for ion exchange to obtain an ammonium type ZSM-5 molecular sieve, and then roasting to obtain HZSM-5. The molecular sieve catalyst prepared according to the patent has the advantages of small particle size, large specific surface area, good hydrophobicity, strong VOC adsorption performance and the like. However, in the technical scheme of the patent, the synthesis of the ZSM-5 molecular sieve uses tetraethylammonium hydroxide, tetrapropylammonium hydroxide and the like as a template agent in addition to a conventional silicon source, an aluminum source, an alkali source and water, and has high synthesis cost.
In patent CN111085218A, a manganese cobalt composite oxide catalyst for removing VOCs and a preparation method and an application thereof, a water-soluble salt of manganese and a water-soluble salt of cobalt are respectively dissolved in deionized water to obtain corresponding manganese solution and cobalt solution, the manganese solution and the cobalt solution are mixed and stirred, urea is added, the mixture is placed into a reactor for heating and stirring, and then the mixture is allowed to stand, filtered, washed, dried and roasted to obtain the manganese cobalt composite oxide catalyst. The catalyst prepared according to the patent has the advantages of good stability, no secondary pollution and the like. However, the elimination temperature of the catalyst for toluene is between 307 ℃ and 350 ℃, and the problem of high catalytic temperature exists.
In a catalyst for eliminating volatile organic compounds and a preparation method thereof disclosed in patent CN110898834A, Nb is adopted2O5-Al2O3/CeVO4As a carrier, MoO3The catalyst is a catalyst auxiliary agent, and Pt is an active component, and provides a catalyst for completely oxidizing VOCs (volatile organic compounds) with low Pt content of noble metal and high catalytic performance and a preparation method thereof. The catalyst can be used for purifying volatile organic waste gas at a lower temperature range, and has high reaction activity on benzene, toluene, ethyl acetate, acetone, n-hexanol and diethyl ether. However, the catalyst of the patent has the problem of higher catalytic temperature when the elimination temperature of toluene is between 210 ℃ and 240 ℃.
