Description

Catalyst of carbon-coated transition metal oxide and preparation method and application thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of catalysts, in particular to a catalyst of carbon-coated transition metal oxide and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The transition metal oxide has excellent catalytic performance and electromagnetic performance, and is a research hotspot in the field of inorganic materials. The carbon material has good conductivity, good chemical/electrochemical stability and high structural strength. The nano particles of the transition metal oxide are coated by the carbon material, so that the conductivity and the stability of the nano material can be improved, and the nano material has the effect of a limited domain and is not easy to agglomerate. In recent years, carbon-coated transition metal oxide nano materials have shown good application prospects in the fields of electrocatalysis, supercapacitor materials, lithium ion battery cathode materials, bioengineering and the like.
Generally, carbon-coated nanomaterials are small in particle size, powdery, and have poor self-moldability. However, in industrial applications, especially for fixed bed processes, the catalyst is required to have not only certain activity and selectivity, but also certain properties such as particle size and mechanical strength. If the catalyst is not strong enough, the catalyst is broken and pulverized, which easily causes the catalyst carrying loss or the device blockage in the reaction process, greatly increases the pressure drop of the catalyst bed layer, and even causes the forced shutdown of the device. Therefore, the carbon-coated nano material needs to be subjected to molding treatment to meet the industrial reaction requirements of compressive strength, pressure drop after filling, stability and the like. The molding treatment is a process of aggregating raw materials such as catalyst raw powder and molding aid to prepare solid particles having a certain size, shape and mechanical strength. The forming process has an effect on the activity, strength and service life of the catalyst to a certain extent. How to improve the strength and not influence the activity as much as possible is the key point of research on the carbon-coated nano material forming method.
N2O is an important greenhouse gas, and its Global Warming Potential (GWP) is CO2310 times of, CH421 times of the total weight of the composition; furthermore, N2The average life of O in the atmosphere is about 150 years, which is also NO in the stratospherexThe main source of the compound can not only seriously damage the ozone layer, but also has strong greenhouse effect.
The domestic production of adipic acid mainly adopts a cyclohexanol nitric acid oxidation method, and the cyclohexanol is subjected to nitric acid oxidation to produce adipic acid, and the method is mature in technology, high in product yield and purity, but large in nitric acid consumption, and capable of producing a large amount of N in the reaction process2And the tail gas discharged in the production process is concentrated, the wave quantity is large, and the concentration is high (36-40%). At present, 15 ten thousand tons of adipic acid and N are produced annually by a nitric acid oxidation method of cyclohexanol2The annual emission of O can reach 4.5 ten thousand tons. Therefore, the tail gas of the adipic acid device is purified, and N is effectively controlled and eliminated2O has become a research hotspot in the field of environmental catalysis at present.
By direct catalytic decomposition of N2O is decomposed into nitrogen and oxygen to eliminate N2O is most preferablyEfficiency and cleaning techniques. Among them, the catalyst is the core of the direct catalytic decomposition method. Decomposition of N reported in the present study2The catalyst of O mainly comprises noble metal catalyst, ion-exchanged molecular sieve catalyst and transition metal oxide catalyst. Noble metal catalysts (e.g., Rh and Ru) vs. N2The O catalytic decomposition has higher low-temperature catalytic activity (within the range of 250-350 ℃) and can efficiently decompose N2O), but the expensive price limits the large-scale application of noble metal catalysts. The price of molecular sieve catalyst and transition metal oxide catalyst is obviously lower than that of noble metal, but at present, the two catalysts are used for N2The activity of O catalytic decomposition is low, and the temperature range of efficient decomposition is 450-550 ℃. Therefore, the development of a new non-noble metal, low cost and efficient new material catalyst couple N2The emission reduction of O has important significance.
It is noted that the information disclosed in the foregoing background section is only for enhancement of background understanding of the invention and therefore it may contain information that does not constitute prior art that is already known to a person of ordinary skill in the art.

The term "nuclear membrane structure" in the present invention refers to a nuclear membrane structure having an outer membrane which is a graphitized carbon membrane and an inner core which contains transition metal oxide nanoparticles. The composite material formed after the graphitized carbon film is coated with the transition metal oxide nano particles is spherical or quasi-spherical.
The term "graphitized carbon film" refers to a thin film structure composed mainly of graphitized carbon.
The term "carbon element content determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy" refers to the relative content of carbon elements on the surface of a material measured by quantitative elemental analysis using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer as an analysis tool.
The term "carbon content determined in elemental analysis" refers to the relative content of total carbon elements of a material measured by elemental quantitative analysis using an elemental analyzer as an analysis tool.
The invention provides a catalyst of carbon-coated transition metal oxide, which comprises a carrier and an active component loaded on the carrier, wherein the active component is a nano composite material of graphite carbon-coated transition metal oxide.
According to the present invention, there is no particular limitation on the kind of the transition metal, and those of the existing graphite carbon-coated transition metal composite materials can be used in the present invention. For example, the transition metal oxide may be selected from one or more oxides of group VIII, group VIB, group IB, and group IIB metals; more specifically, it may be selected from one or more of the oxides of iron, cobalt, nickel and, optionally, one or more of the oxides of aluminum, copper, zinc, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten.
According to the present invention, the nanocomposite material has a core-film structure having an outer film which is a graphitized carbon film and an inner core containing transition metal oxide nanoparticles.
According to the present invention, the catalyst is a supported catalyst having a nanocomposite of a transition metal oxide coated with graphitic carbon as an active component, and in general, the nanocomposite of the transition metal oxide coated with graphitic carbon has a core film structure having an integral outer film layer and an inner core layer, and the outer film is mainly composed of a graphitized carbon film, which is a thin film structure mainly composed of graphitized carbon and completely or substantially completely coats the surface of the transition metal oxide nanoparticle, and in general, it is considerably difficult to completely coat graphitic carbon on the outside of the transition metal oxide. The inventor of the invention unexpectedly finds that the core film structure coated with the graphitized carbon film on the outer layer has relatively little carbon content in the film layer, but greatly improves the performance of the whole material, particularly the catalytic performance, specifically, the core film structure not only can generate a certain limited domain effect and effectively avoid the aggregation and growth of core nanoparticles, so that the catalytic activity of the composite material is stable, but also can synergistically increase the catalytic activity of the whole composite material, and obviously improves the catalytic activity compared with the catalytic activity of a pure transition metal oxide which is not coated with a graphite carbon film. The catalyst has high mechanical strength, can meet the industrial application requirements, can well maintain the catalytic performance of the active component, and has good application prospect.
In some embodiments, the transition metal oxide is present in an amount of 40% to 90%, e.g., 40%, 43%, 50%, 55%, 57%, 67%, 79%, 80%, 85%, etc., and the support is present in an amount of 10% to 60%, e.g., 10%, 16%, 22%, 31%, 35%, 40%, 50%, 60%, etc., based on the mass of the catalyst. The carbon content is not more than 2% of the catalyst content, such as 1%, 0.8%, 0.5%, 0.3%, 0.2%, 0.1%, etc.
In some embodiments, the catalyst of the present invention has a ratio of carbon element determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to carbon element content determined by elemental analysis of not less than 10 in terms of mass ratio. As mentioned above, the carbon content determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy refers to the relative carbon content on the surface of the material measured by quantitative element analysis using an X-ray photoelectron spectrometer as an analysis tool. The carbon element content determined in the element analysis refers to the relative content of the total carbon elements of the material, which is measured by carrying out element quantitative analysis by taking an element analyzer as an analysis tool. When the content ratio of carbon element determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to carbon element determined by element analysis is larger, most of carbon in the whole catalyst is concentrated on the surface of the material to form a carbon film layer, and further the nuclear film structure is formed.
In some embodiments, the catalyst of the present invention has a Raman spectrum at 1580cm-1Intensity of nearby G peak at 1320cm-1The ratio of the intensities of the nearby D peaks is greater than 2. As will be understood by those skilled in the art, the peak D and the peak G are both Raman characteristic peaks of a crystal of C atoms, the peak D represents a defect in a lattice of carbon atoms, and the peak G represents a sp of C atoms2Hybrid in-plane stretching vibration. It is understood that a larger ratio of the intensity of the G peak to the intensity of the D peak indicates that more graphitic carbon is present in the catalyst than amorphous carbon. That is, the carbon element in the catalyst of the present invention is mainly present in the form of graphitic carbon. The graphite carbon has better oxidation resistance, and can be used for increasing the catalytic activity with the transition metal oxide nanoparticles of the inner core in a synergistic manner, so that the performance of the whole catalyst is improved.
In some embodiments, the catalyst of the present invention has a Raman spectrum at 1580cm-1Nearby G peak, not located at 1320cm-1Nearby D peak.
According to the invention, the aforementioned support may be alumina and/or silica. The catalyst has a certain pore structure, and in some embodiments, the specific surface area of the catalyst of the present invention is 90m2/g~160m2Per g, pore volume 0.12cm3/g~0.18cm3(iv) g, the crushing strength is 120N/cm-160N/cm.
It should be noted that, for the present invention, the specific surface area and pore volume of the catalyst obtained by different binders (such as alumina sol, silica sol, pseudo-boehmite, etc.) and different forming conditions (such as pressure) and forming manners (tabletting, extruding, granulating) are greatly different, so that the ranges of the specific surface area, pore volume and crush strength can be adjusted according to the actual operating conditions and the requirements for the catalyst strength, etc., and the present invention is not limited thereto.
The invention also provides a preparation method of the catalyst, which comprises the following steps: providing a carbon-coated transition metal nanocomposite; carrying out oxygen treatment on the carbon-coated transition metal nanocomposite to obtain a carbon-coated transition metal oxide nanocomposite; and (3) molding the carbon-coated transition metal oxide nano composite material to obtain the catalyst.
The preparation of the catalyst is described in detail below.
First, a carbon-coated transition metal nanocomposite is provided. The carbon-coated transition metal nanocomposite can be prepared by the existing method or can be obtained commercially. The preparation method preferably adopts the following steps:
placing a transition metal-containing compound and a carboxylic acid in a solvent to mix to form a homogeneous solution; removing the solvent in the homogeneous solution to obtain a precursor; and pyrolyzing the precursor in inert atmosphere or reducing atmosphere to obtain the carbon-coated transition metal nanocomposite.
Specifically, the precursor is a water-soluble mixture, which refers to a water-soluble mixture containing nickel obtained by dissolving a transition metal-containing compound and a carboxylic acid in a solvent such as water, ethanol, etc. to form a homogeneous solution, and then directly evaporating the solvent.

In some embodiments, pyrolyzing comprises: heating the precursor to a constant temperature section in an inert atmosphere or a reducing atmosphere, and keeping the constant temperature in the constant temperature section; wherein the heating rate is 0.5 ℃/min to 30 ℃/min, such as 2.5 ℃/min, 4.5 ℃/min, 5 ℃/min, 6.5 ℃/min, 7 ℃/min, 8.5 ℃/min, 9 ℃/min, 10 ℃/min, 20 ℃/min, and the like; the temperature of the constant temperature section is 400-800 ℃, preferably 500-700 ℃, such as 500 ℃, 550 ℃, 570 ℃, 610 ℃, 660 ℃, 680 ℃ and the like; the constant temperature time is 20min to 600min, preferably 30min to 300min, such as 30min, 45min, 55min, 70min, 86min, 97min, 100min, 180min, 270min, 300min and the like; the inert atmosphere is nitrogen or argon, and the reducing atmosphere is a mixed gas of an inert gas and hydrogen, for example, a small amount of hydrogen is doped in the inert atmosphere.
In some embodiments, the present invention further comprises acid washing the pyrolyzed product.
In fact, the product obtained after the aforementioned pyrolysis is a nanocomposite material in which a graphitized carbon layer is coated with a transition metal. The graphitized carbon layer is a carbon structure with a layered structure, but not an amorphous structure, which can be obviously observed under a high-resolution transmission electron microscope, and the interlayer distance is about 0.34 nm. The nano composite material of transition metal coated by the graphitized carbon layer is a composite material consisting of transition metal nano particles which are tightly coated (not contacted with the outside) by the graphitized carbon layer, transition metal nano particles which can be contacted with the outside and are limited in domain and carbon materials with mesoporous structures. After acid pickling, the nickel in the composite material has certain loss, and can be characterized by the acid pickling loss rate. That is, the "acid pickling loss ratio" refers to the loss ratio of the transition metal after the acid pickling of the prepared carbon-coated transition metal nanocomposite product. Which reflects how tightly the graphitized carbon layer coats the transition metal. If the graphitized carbon layer does not cover the transition metal tightly, the transition metal of the core is dissolved by the acid and lost after the acid treatment. The larger the acid washing loss rate is, the lower the degree of tightness of the transition metal coating by the graphitized carbon layer is, and the smaller the acid washing loss rate is, the higher the degree of tightness of the transition metal coating by the graphitized carbon layer is.
In general, the specific conditions of the pickling treatment are: adding 1g of sample into 20mL of sulfuric acid aqueous solution (1mol/L), treating the sample at 90 ℃ for 8h, then washing the sample to be neutral by using deionized water, weighing and analyzing the sample after drying, and calculating the pickling loss rate according to the following formula.
The calculation formula is as follows: the acid pickling loss rate is [1- (mass partial wave of transition metal in the composite material after acid pickling × mass of the composite material after acid pickling) ÷ (mass partial wave of transition metal in the composite material to be treated × mass of the composite material to be treated) ] × 100%. It should be noted that the "composite" in this formula is a composite that has not been treated with oxygen. In some embodiments, the composite material generally has a pickling loss ratio of 40% or less, can be 30% or less, can be 20% or less, and can be 10% or less.
Then, the carbon-coated transition metal nanocomposite obtained after pyrolysis or after acid washing is further subjected to oxygen treatment, wherein the oxygen treatment comprises introducing standard gas into the pyrolyzed product and heating, wherein the standard gas contains oxygen gas and equilibrium gas, and the volume concentration of the oxygen gas is 10% to 40%, such as 10%, 12%, 15%, 17%, 20%, 22%, 25%, 28%, 30%, and the like. The balance gas may be an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon, but the present invention is not limited thereto. In some embodiments, the temperature of the oxygen treatment is from 200 ℃ to 500 ℃, preferably from 300 ℃ to 400 ℃, such as 320 ℃, 340 ℃, 350 ℃, 380 ℃, and the like; the time of the oxygen treatment is 0.5 to 10 hours, for example, 1 hour, 3 hours, 5 hours, 7 hours, 8 hours, 10 hours, etc.
One skilled in the art will recognize that carbon can be oxidized with oxygen to form a gas. It will be appreciated that the precursor pyrolytically forms a carbon-clad transition metal core nanocomposite material which, after high temperature oxygen treatment, may be such that carbon in the material is oxidised and lost. However, the inventors of the present invention have unexpectedly found that, after appropriate oxygen treatment, a small portion of the carbon remains while a large portion of the carbon is burned off. As mentioned above, the XRD, XPS and Raman spectroscopy analysis prove that a composite structure with a very thin graphite carbon film coated on the surface of the transition metal oxide is formed. Surprisingly, this is also true for nanocomposites in which carbon tightly coats the elemental core of the transition metal (which is not substantially lost in transition metal when treated with strong non-oxidizing acids at temperatures near boiling for extended periods of time). Further research finds that not only the transition metal of the inner core is oxidized, but also the thin film carbon layer enables the nano composite material to further have a plurality of excellent properties, so that the nano composite material has great application potential in catalytic materials, energy storage materials and electromagnetic materials.
And finally, molding the product after the oxygen treatment, namely the carbon-coated transition metal oxide nano composite material to obtain the catalyst. The forming process specifically comprises the following steps:
adding a binder, an optional lubricant and the like into the carbon-coated transition metal oxide nanocomposite, and then uniformly mixing to obtain a wet mass; drying and roasting the wet dough for the first time; and forming the product after the first roasting treatment, and roasting the formed product for the second time to obtain the catalyst.
Specifically, the binder is selected from an aluminum sol, a silica sol, or a silicon aluminum sol. The alumina sol is commercially available or prepared by a known method from hydrated alumina (e.g., pseudoboehmite or boehmite) and a peptizing agent selected from one or more of aqueous nitric acid, aqueous hydrochloric acid and aqueous citric acid. Further, the binder can also comprise a lubricant, namely the binder is prepared from hydrated alumina, peptizer and lubricant, and the lubricant can be one or more selected from sesbania powder, citric acid, starch and carboxymethyl cellulose.
In some embodiments, the mass ratio of liquid to solid in the wet mass is 0.8 to 1.5, such as 0.8, 0.9, 1, 1.2, etc., preferably 0.85 to 1. The carbon-coated transition metal oxide nanocomposite accounts for 20% to 80% of the mass of solids in the wet mass, for example, 20%, 25%, 31%, 47%, 56%, 60%, 75%, etc. The binder accounts for 20-80% of the mass of solids in the wet mass, such as 22%, 36%, 41%, 47%, 55%, 67%, 80%, etc.; the amount of the lubricant added may be 1% to 6%, for example, 1%, 2%, 4%, 5%, 6%, etc., preferably 2% to 3% based on the mass of the carbon-coated transition metal oxide nanocomposite. The mass of the peptizing agent is 1-5%, preferably 2-3% of the mass of the binder.
After obtaining a wet mass of the desired composition, the wet mass is dried at a temperature of 20 ℃ to 100 ℃, for example 20 ℃, 25 ℃, 30 ℃, 45 ℃, 50 ℃, 65 ℃, 70 ℃, 72 ℃, 82 ℃, 88 ℃ and the like. The drying time is 3h to 24h, for example, 3h, 4h, 6h, 7h, 10h, 12h, 13h, 17h, 20h, 24h and the like. The drying atmosphere is an inert atmosphere or an air atmosphere.
The dried product may be first calcined in an inert atmosphere, such as pseudoboehmite, which is converted to gamma-Al2O3As a carrier for the active ingredient. The heating rate of the calcination is 1 to 20 ℃/min, preferably 2.5 to 10 ℃/min, for example, 2.5, 3.5, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10 ℃/min, etc. When the temperature is raised to the roasting temperature of 400-800 ℃, keeping the constant temperature for 1-10 h, preferably 450-600 ℃, and keeping the constant temperature for 3-8 h.
The product after drying or first roasting can be shaped, and then second roasting is carried out, wherein the shaping method is one or more of extruding, rolling, tabletting and granulating, and the invention is not limited by the method.
The invention also provides another preparation method of the catalyst, which comprises the following operations:
an operation of introducing a transition metal onto a support;
(II) preparing a graphite carbon-coated transition metal composite structure; and
(III) an operation of converting the zero-valent transition metal in the composite structure into a transition metal oxide by oxygen treatment while removing amorphous carbon.
According to the above-mentioned preparation process, the transition metal in (I) is in a zero-valent state and/or an oxidized state.
According to the preparation method, one mode is as follows: firstly, loading oxidized transition metal on a carrier by using existing loading methods such as dipping and the like, (II) then introducing gas containing a carbon source at high temperature in an inert atmosphere or a hydrogen atmosphere, and simultaneously carrying out reduction and carbon coating on the transition metal; (III) finally, oxygen treatment is carried out to convert the zero-valent transition metal into the transition metal oxide and simultaneously remove the amorphous carbon. The other mode is as follows: firstly, loading oxidized transition metal on a carrier by using existing loading methods such as dipping and the like, then reducing the transition metal to a zero valence state, and (II) introducing gas containing a carbon source at a high temperature in an inert atmosphere or a hydrogen atmosphere to carry out carbon coating; (III) finally, oxygen treatment is carried out to convert the zero-valent transition metal into the transition metal oxide and simultaneously remove the amorphous carbon.
According to the foregoing production method, the carrier is alumina or silica, or the carrier is a composite oxide of silica and alumina.
In some embodiments, the graphitic carbon-coated transition metal composite structure is pickled, and the loss rate of transition metal is not higher than 60%, may not be higher than 40%, may not be higher than 30%, may not be higher than 20%, and may not be higher than 10%.
In some embodiments, the oxygen treatment comprises introducing standard gas and heating, wherein the standard gas comprises oxygen and balance gas, and the volume concentration of the oxygen is 10-40%; the temperature of the oxygen treatment is 200-500 ℃, and the time of the oxygen treatment is 0.5-10 h.
In conclusion, the carbon-coated transition metal oxide nano composite material is used as an active component and is loaded on the carrier through a specific process, so that the obtained catalyst not only has high catalytic activity, but also has certain mechanical strength, is not easy to break and pulverize in the reaction process, can meet the requirements of actual industrial production, and has good application prospect.

The space velocity of the catalytic decomposition reaction is 500-3000 ml of reaction gas/(h.g of catalyst). The high concentration of the nitrous oxide allowed by the invention and the large reaction space velocity show that the catalyst of the invention has high activity and large treatment capacity of the device when the reaction is applied.
According to the invention, as mentioned above, the currently reported decomposition N2The catalyst of O mainly comprises noble metal catalyst, ion-exchanged molecular sieve catalyst and transition metal oxide catalyst. Although the decomposition temperature of the noble metal catalyst is low, the expensive price of the noble metal catalyst is not suitable for large-scale industrial production; the high-efficiency decomposition temperature of other molecular sieve catalysts and transition metal oxide catalysts is 450-550 ℃, and the high temperature required by the reaction greatly improves the industrial cost.
The inventors of the present invention have found that the nanocomposite using the carbon-coated transition metal oxide of the present invention as a catalyst can effectively decompose nitrous oxide into nitrogen and oxygen, and exhibits excellent catalytic activity stability in the reaction. In addition, when the existing catalyst is used for catalyzing and decomposing the nitrous oxide, the high-concentration nitrous oxide obtained by industrial production generally needs to be diluted to be about 0.5-2 percent, and the catalyst can be directly decomposed to achieve a high decomposition rate without being diluted. Namely, the nitrous oxide can be subjected to catalytic decomposition reaction with the volume concentration of 30-40%, and the decomposition rate can reach more than 99%, so that the industrial cost is greatly reduced, and the method has a good industrial application prospect.
