Definitions
- the invention relates generally to the control of hydrocarbons (HC) , carbon monoxide (CO) , and nitrogen oxides (NO ⁇ ) in the exhaust of internal combustion engines. More particularly, the invention relates to the removal of NO ⁇ when the exhaust gases include oxygen in excess of that needed for combustion of the fuel. This is typically the case with lean-burn engines, diesel engines, and other engines currently under development which produce such exhaust gases. In recent years three-way catalysts have been used to remove all of the three principal noxious components in auto exhaust gases. The engines are run with stoichiometric air/fuel ratios and the catalysts are able to remove all three components at the same time, that is, a single catalyst is sufficient over the range of engine operating temperatures.
- lean-burn engines operate with air-fuel ratios which are far from the typical stoichiometric conditions.
- the lean- burn engine may operate with air-fuel ratios above 18/1, up to about 22-24/1, or even higher ratios for diesel engines.
- the exhaust from a lean-burn engine will include more hydrocarbons, less carbon monoxide, and less, but still excessive nitrogen oxides.
- the nitrogen oxides can be decomposed to diatomic nitrogen and diatomic oxygen. This reaction is ther odynamically favored, but catalysts which are able to carry out this reaction under the highly oxidizing conditions and high temperatures found in engine exhaust gases have not yet been found.
- the second route is the chemical reduction of nitrogen oxides using reducing agents present in the exhaust, such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and hydrogen. This is considered to be the mechanism of the three-way catalysts used in the exhaust from an engine operating with a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio which contains little oxygen. When a large excess of oxygen is present, as in a lean-burn or diesel engine, the oxygen can preferentially react with the hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen thus removing the reducing agents needed to remove nitrogen oxides.
- the NO ⁇ removal catalysts are defined as phosphates, sulfates, or aluminates of transition metals of the 4th period of the Periodic table (e.g. Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) .
- the oxidation catalyst is generally described as a noble metal, a base metal or a perovskite on a support.
- the invention is a process for removing carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides from the exhaust gases produced by an engine which is operated with an excess of air relative to that required for stoichiometric combustion of the fuel, such as lean-burn, diesel, and the like.
- Noble metal catalysts are used which are treated in an oxygen-inert gas mixture at a temperature of at least 400"C, preferably 600" up to 1200 * C, to adjust the temperature window for nitrogen oxide conversion to a desired value by varying the oxygen partial pressure. More than one catalyst may be used, each having been treated so that in combination they are able to reduce nitrogen oxides over the full range of engine exhaust gas temperatures.
- the reducing agents such as carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and hydrogen can also be oxidized while the nitrogen oxides are reduced.
- the noble metals are selected from the group of platinum, and rhodium, particularly platinum-rhodium and platinum alone.
- the noble metals typically will be supported, preferably on an alumina or an alumina containing a rare earth metal oxide, particularly ceria, or an alkaline earth metal compound such as a sulfate, oxide, carbonate, or hydroxide.
- Other supports may be used, such as the oxides of Zr, Si, Ti and Sn, and cordierite or silicon carbide.
- Steam is generally included in the gas mixture at about 0 to 30 vol.%, the amount of oxygen is greater than zero and up to 21 vol.%, and the remainder of the treating gas is nitrogen or other inert gas.
- Increasing the oxygen content of the mixture increases the temperature window for nitrogen oxide reduction so that the most active catalyst is produced by exposing the catalyst to inert gas containing substantially no oxygen with lesser activity being obtained by increasing the amount of oxygen.
- the catalysts are disposed to contact the exhaust gases in order of increasing activity for NO ⁇ reduction.
- the invention is at least one catalyst treated as described above.
- Figure 1 is a plot of NO conversion versus temperature for Pt/Rh catalysts, showing the effect of varying oxygen content.
- Figure 2 is a plot of NO conversion versus temperature for a composite catalyst of the invention showing a wide conversion window for NO.
- Figure 3 is a plot of NO conversion versus temperature comparing the effect of inert gas versus air treatment.
- Figure 4 is a plot of NO conversion versus temperature for Pt catalysts showing the effect of varying oxygen content.
- Figure 5 is a plot of NO conversion versus temperature for various catalysts treated at varying temperatures in the absence of oxygen.
- catalysts may function differently depending upon the operating conditions and that each catalyst has a temperature range within which it is capable of destroying nitrogen oxides. We will refer to this temperature range as a "window" within which nitrogen oxides are converted. This is generally contrary to the experience with three-way catalysts which become active ("light-off") at a temperature of about 250" to 350"C and thereafter are able to oxidize hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide while reducing nitrogen oxides over the usual range of operating temperatures, say about 300° to 800*C. It should be noted here that auto exhaust changes its composition and its temperature as driving conditions change. Consequently, tests of auto exhaust catalysts require that a car be operated over a range of conditions which represents typical driving.
- each catalyst has a temperature range within which it is effective and outside that range the conversion of nitrogen oxides is minimal. At the same time it is still necessary to remove the reducing agents including residual hydrocarbons, hydrogen, and carbon monoxide.
- Multiple catalysts may be employed, each capable of reducing nitrogen oxides within a particular temperature range. However, in the present invention it is possible to use a single catalyst composition but modify its performance so that it can reduce nitrogen oxides over a wider range of temperatures, thereby obtaining the effect previously achieved by combining catalysts of differing compositions.
- the noble metals of Group VIII include Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Os, and Ir (Groups 8-10 IUPAC). Generally, only Pt, Pd, and Rh are used in automobile exhaust catalysts. Preferred are Pt alone and Pt plus Rh in atomic proportions of 1/1 to 30/1.
- the catalysts may contain base metals.
- the base metals of Group VIII namely Co, Ni and Fe, and metals of Groups IVa and IVb (Groups 4 and 14 IUPAC) such as Sn, Zr, Ti, and Pb may be included.
- Rare earth metals such as Ce may also be included, as well as the alkaline earth metals such as Ba, Sr, and Ca.
- Representative concentrations of the noble metals will be about 0.01 to 5.0 g/L, preferably 0.7 to 3.6 g/L, most preferably 1.0 to 2.5 g/L, when disposed on a typical monolithic carrier.
- the base metals if present, will be about 0.01 to 40 g/L, preferably 0.1 to 15 g/L, most preferably 0.5 to 13 g/L, when disposed on a typical monolithic carrier.
- the noble metals and any base metal promoters are deposited on supports, either before or after such supports are placed on the surface of ceramic or metal monolithic carriers.
- the supports typically are aluminas of the various structures known in the art (e.g. gamma, delta, theta, alpha, etc.), but the supports may also be other metal oxides such as Zn0 2 , Si0 2 , Ti0 2 , Sn0 2 , cordierite, etc. or Sic.
- Addition of the noble metals may be done by impregnation techniques familiar to those skilled in the art. Generally, these involve contacting the support with an aqueous solution of the metal (or metals) compound to be deposited and subsequently drying and heating the impregnated support to decompose the metal compounds. The concentration of the metal compounds in solution will be adjusted to provide the amount of metals in the finished catalyst.
- the noble metal compounds may be those used in the past, such as halogenated compounds (e.g. chloroplatinic acid, rhodium chloride) , nitrates (e.g. rhodium nitrates) , acetates (e.g.
- rhodium acetate e.g. platinum sulfite acid i.e., hydroxy disulfite platinum (II) acid
- Preferred noble metal compounds include rhodium chloride, rhodium nitrate, rhodium sulfite, rhodium oxalate, chloroplatinic acid, platinum oxalate, platinum ammine nitrite, and platinum sulfite.
- the base metals are preferably applied by impregnation of the support with an aqueous solution of a base metal compound, such as the nitrates, acetates, sulfates, etc.
- a conventionally prepared noble metal catalyst will have a temperature "window" for nitrogen oxide reduction which is at a relatively low temperature and which has a peak performance centered about say 250" to 300 ⁇ C.
- an oxygen-nitrogen mixture at temperatures of at least 400"C, preferably at least 600°C to about 1200"C, the temperature range of the window is increased.
- the most active catalyst is obtained when the treatment is carried out with only an inert gas, that is, substantially in the absence of oxygen.
- the activity of the catalysts is reduced and the window moves to higher temperatures as oxygen is added to the inert gas.
- the catalyst temperature window may be increased by 100° to 150°C.
- the catalysts could be mixed together after treating. Preferably, they could be arranged in a sequence, with the catalyst having the highest temperature window (i.e. the least active) contacting the exhaust gases first and being disposed upstream of a catalyst having an overlapping temperature window but a lower peak temperature (i.e. more active) .
- the catalysts are arrayed in order of increasing catalytic activity for NO ⁇ reduction.
- the treatment of the invention may be carried out with gas compositions in the range of 0-30 vol.% steam, greater than zero up to 21 vol.% oxygen, and the remainder nitrogen or other inert gas.
- the temperature will be in the general range of 400* to 1200 ⁇ C and the treatment will be carried out for a sufficient period of time to adjust the temperature window for nitrogen oxide reduction to the desired range.
- Catalyst samples used for pretreatment in steam/nitrogen mixtures of varying oxygen content and subsequent performance measurements were removed from ceramic monoliths on which had been deposited Pt, Rh, Ce0 2 , BaS0 , and A1 2 0 3 .
- Cylindrical cores measuring 4.75 inches in length and 1.5 inches in diameter (120 x 38 mm) were initially removed from the full size pieces, then cut in half longitudinally and subsequently aged at 1060"C for 6 hours in steam/nitrogen mixtures of varying oxygen content. After aging, smaller cylindrical shaped cores having dimensions of 0.5 inches (12.7 mm) in length and 0.876 inches (22.2 mm) in diameter were removed from the aged larger cores and were evaluated in a synthetic lean burn exhaust gas mixture. The nominal space velocity for the tests used was 60K hr *1 .
- the catalyst was prepared by conventional preparation procedures, of the type described below. Initially a slurry is prepared by combining a Ce0 2 /Al 2 0 3 (24 wt.%Ce) finely divided powder with a dilute nitric acid solution which also contains BaS0 A . The slurry is subsequently ball milled and pH adjusted with nitric acid to give a final pH of 3.75. An oval shaped cordierite monolith with a minor axis of 8 cm and a major axis of 16.8 cm, a length of 15.2 cm and having 400 square channels per square inch of facial area is dipped into the slurry. The geometric volume of the monolith is 1517 cm 3 .
- the slurry coated monolith is calcined in a gas-fired oven for about 1 hour at 540 ⁇ C.
- platinum and rhodium are added to the monolith by dipping into an aqueous solution containing platinum in the form of chloroplatinic acid and rhodium in the form of rhodium chloride.
- the excess solution is blown out with an air gun, and the monolith is dried and calcined for about an hour at 540"C.
- the final catalyst has a total washcoat loading of 0.165 g/cm 3 (2.7 g/in 3 ) .
- the catalyst of Example 1 was treated by exposure to a mixture of 10 vol.% steam, up to 90 vol.% nitrogen and varying amounts of oxygen at a temperature of 1060°C for 6 hours.
- the treated catalysts were tested by exposure to a synthetic exhaust gas containing 1200 ppmv NO ⁇ , 3000 ppmv CO, 1000 ppmv H 2 , 1600 ppmv propene, 20 ppmv S0 2 , and 3.2 vol.% 0 2 , remainder nitrogen and 10 vol.% steam.
- the temperature was gradually increased up to a maximum of 800*C (rise 1) , held at 800 ⁇ C for one hour, and then cooled to 50*C and repeated (rise 2) .
- the performance of the catalyst is shown in Figure 1 for rise 1.
- Example 3 Two composite catalysts were prepared using four individual catalyst samples as in Example 1 that had been pretreated at 1040*C in steam/nitrogen mixtures of varying oxygen content and combined sequentially to give a composite catalyst.
- the least active catalyst was placed at the exhaust gas inlet (i.e., the sample treated with the highest oxygen concentration) and the most active sample (i.e., the sample treated with the lowest oxygen concentration) at the exhaust gas outlet.
- Composite catalyst A consisted of four portions of a Pt,Rh,Ce0 2 ,BaS0 4 ,Al 2 0 3 catalyst as described in Example 1 which had been pretreated with 0.02 vol.% 0 2 , 0.06 vol.% 0 2 , 1.26 vol.% 0 2 and 5.0 vol.% 0 2 and arrayed in the reverse order, that is, with the samples treated with 5 vol.% 0 2 first and the sample 0.02 vol.% 0 2 last.
- Composite catalyst B consisted of the same catalyst but the four portions had been pretreated at 1040 ⁇ C in steam-nitrogen mixtures containing 0 vol.% O z , 1.26 vol.% 0 2 : , 5 vol.% 0 2 , and 21 vol.% 0 2 and again arrayed in the reverse order. The test procedures of Example 2 were repeated with these composite catalysts. It is seen from the results in Figure 2 that the NO reduction performance of these composite catalysts is effective over a temperature range that covers 200° - 500 ⁇ C.
- a catalyst was prepared by impregnating an aqueous solution of chloroplatinic acid and rhodium chloride onto a ceria-alumina granular support.
- the Pt content was about 3300 ppm by weight; the Rh content about 700 ppm by weight.
- the catalyst was dried and calcined in air at 600°C for 6 hr. The catalyst in this state is considered to be untreated. A portion of this material was treated at 1140°C in N 2 with 10% steam; this material is considered to be treated. NO reduction performance was determined using the same synthetic gas mixture and the same temperature program as used in Example 2. Performance of the two catalysts is shown in Figure 3.
- the panel labelled A shows performance during an initial temperature increase.
- panel B pertains to results obtained after aging the catalyst in the synthetic gas mixture which is, overall, an oxidizing gas mixture, at 800°C.
- the treated catalyst is seen to possess NO conversion activity that is markedly superior to the untreated catalyst.
- treatment at high temperature in N 2 and steam is shown to improve NO reduction performance for this catalyst compared to a conventional preparation method.
- NO conversion and NO reduction are used synonymously since NO conversion is detected with a chemiluminescent NO ⁇ analyzer that detects both NO and N0 2 .
- NO oxidation to more highly oxidized oxides of nitrogen are not counted as converted NO.
- the high temperature treatment in N 2 and steam is believed to cause substantial sintering of the precious metal.
- a platinum (II) sulfite acid solution was used to impregnate 80.0 g of ⁇ -Al 2 0 3 .
- the water was evaporated and the catalyst divided into portions.
- the Pt content was 2.5 wt.%.
- One portion was treated with 85% N 2 , 5% 0 2 , and 10% steam at 1060°C for 6 hr.
- Another portion was treated with 90% N 2 and 10% steam at 1060°C for 6 hr.
- Catalytic performance of these two materials were determined using a synthetic exhaust gas designed to model emissions from an engine operating at an air-to- fuel ratio of 22/1.
- This gas mixture is comprised of 3300 ppmv propene, 1000 ppmv CO, 330 ppmv H 2 , 700 ppmv NO, 7.5% 0 2 , 10% C0 2 , and 10% steam.
- the temperature was gradually increased to 800°C and held at 800°C for an hour.
- the temperature was then lowered and then increased a second time to 800°C.
- NO reduction performance during the second temperature increase is shown in Figure 4. Performance was similar during the first temperature increase. It can be seen that the Pt/ ⁇ -Al 2 0 3 catalyst treated with 5% 0 2 reduces NO at somewhat higher temperatures compared to the Pt/ ⁇ -Al 2 0 3 catalyst treated with only N 2 and steam.
- this catalyst is defined as 5B.
- a second material was made using granules of a delta alumina manufactured by Condea. This second material was impregnated with an aqueous solution containing chloroplatinic acid and rhodium chloride sufficient to yield a material containing 1.33 wt.% Pt and 670 ppm by weight Rh. After the aqueous solution was evaporated, the granular material was recovered and dried. Twenty grams of this second material was treated with 90% N 2 and 10% steam at 800°C for 6 hr: this catalyst is defined as 5C.
- this catalyst was treated with 90% N 2 and 10% steam at 1000°C for 6 hr: this catalyst is defined as 5D.
- An additional twenty grams of this second material was initially calcined in air at 600°C for 6 hr and subsequently treated with 90% N 2 and 10% steam at 1000°C for 6 hr: this catalyst is defined as 5E.
- a third material was made by impregnating a granular ⁇ -Al 2 0 3 with a solution of chloroplatinic acid and rhodium chloride to provide a third solid material containing 0.175 wt.% Rh and 0.876 wt.% Pt.
- this third material was treated in N 2 in the absence of steam at 1100°C for 6 hr: this material is defined as 5F.
- Catalytic performance of these 6 materials was evaluated using the gas mixture and temperature program used in Example 2.
- Figure 5 shows NO reduction performance during the second temperature increase. It is apparent that all six of these materials are able to reduce NO in the oxidizing environment used in these experiments.
- catalyst precursors in N 2 with or without steam Treatment of catalyst precursors in N 2 with or without steam is sufficient to create materials with the desired catalytic properties for NO reduction under oxidizing conditions.
- a variety of precursors and support materials may be employed.
