Description

GOLD BASED CATALYST FOR EXHAUST GAS PURIFICATION
Background of the invention
The invention relates to a gold catalyst for the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, reduction of nitrous oxides and the degradation of ozone.
Internal combustion engines contribute significantly to increasing pollution levels in the atmosphere. This will become worse in the future with the strong tendency towards global urbanisation. The working environment for a large number of people in today's industrial sites and administrative office buildings has an air pollution of unacceptably high level of carbon monoxide and other noxious gases. Computers and laser printers that are vastly used in our daily routines have increased ozone concentrations to dangerous levels and, thus have further deteriorated the working environment.
Environmental protection and reduction of pollution caused by industry, transport and way of life are major issue facing the world today. Various ways are used to achieve that: improvement of existing technologies, introduction of new, more effective methods in industry, more stringent legislation for reduction of pollutants, etc.
Catalysts of Prior art
A reduction of the emission of noxious gases from the combustion engines may be achieved by the use of PGM-based catalysts. However this catalysts function satisfactorily at temperatures higher than 300°C. Moisture and sulphur dioxide common for the exhaust gases, severely affect their performance at lower temperatures. It is known fact that 80% of the noxious gases from the combustion engine are emitted during the cold start of the engine, the first 3 to 5 minutes, where the conventional catalysts are not affective. The PGM-based catalysts are even less effective for diesel vehicles where the temperature of the emitted gases in lower than the temperature of the exhaust gases from the gasoline passenger car. Conversion of the TPM, CO, HC and NOx (4-way catalyst) is considered a major challenge for diesel vehicle application in the future. Further, the high working temperatures of the PGM catalysts make them unsuitable for air purification in buildings, aircrafts and industrial sites.
Gold has been long regarded as far less catalytically active than the platinum group metals (PGM's). Recent publications in the literature have shown that gold, when highly dispersed on reducible oxides, can be active for low temperature oxidation of CO. However, gold containing catalysts as shown in the literature, ere either to costly, with gold concentration up to 12%, or show poor conversion at the higher flow rate of gases common for the working conditions. Thus, these catalysts are not suitable for industrial applications and do not have real commercial value.
For example German patent No. 3914294 describes a catalyst in which the gold is captured on an iron oxide-containing support which includes also alumina or aluminosilicate. However this catalyst has poor conversion of carbon monoxide at higher space velocity and is severely affected by moisture and sulphur dioxide. Examples of gold catalysts supported on cobalt oxide, titanium oxide and iron oxide described in the literature are:

Proceedings of the 10 International Congress of Catalysts 19-24 July 1992, Budapest, Hungary (2657-2660), and H. Kageyama et al, "XAFS studies of ultra-fine gold catalyst supported on hematite prepared from co-precipitated precursors", Physica B 158 (1989) 183-184.
Summary of the Invention
According to the invention, a catalyst for simultaneous oxidation and reduction reactions comprises a porous mixed oxides support having captured thereon a complex comprising gold and reducible oxide of a transition metal selected from chromium, copper, cobalt, manganese, iron or a combination of this metals. The concentration of the gold is from 0.1%-2.5%, preferably less than 1.5%, when the total concentration of the metals in the active component should not exceed 10% from the total mass of the catalyst.
The gold-reducible oxide complex contains chemical and physical bonding and is bonded to the mixed oxides support.
The support of the catalytic composition comprises individual or mixed oxides with a large surface area typically 80 m2/g to 400 m2/g. Oxides composition is selected from ceria and titania oxides. The concentration of ceria oxide is from 30-95% and of the titania oxide from 5-25%. The catalyst may be in the form of powder, pellets, molded or deposited on a suitable carrier as foams, honeycombs (ceramics or metals).
The gold-transition metal oxide particles are deposited on the mixed oxides support by the methods of the known art: impregnation, precipitation, co- precipitation, wet incipient dryness, or a combination of these techniques. The particles of the active component are finely dispersed throughout the support and should be of a size less than 40 nm, preferably less than 20 nm. The pH of the process of preparation of gold-metal oxide catalyst is of significance and should be in the range of 7.0 to 12.0, preferably 8.0 to 10.5. The adjustment of the pH value in the prescribed range is achieved by the use of alkaline compound, for example, sodium or potassium carbonates, hydroxides or ammonia. After formation of the gold-metal oxide configuration, the catalyst is heated to a temperature in the range of 100°C to 500°C, to form fine cluster particles, immobilized on the surface of the support. The heating of the catalyst is maintained on oxidizing atmosphere or air.
The catalyst working temperature is from 0°C to 500°C.
The catalyst will have application also in the fuel cells technology.
The advantages of the Invention consist of:
1. The catalyst of the invention is more effective than similar catalyst of the prior art in the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons at law temperatures and in presence of moisture and sulphur dioxide;
2. The presence of moisture even enhances the catalyst's oxidation activity;
3. The catalyst tolerates presence of sulphur dioxide;
4. The catalyst has the ability for simultaneous reduction of nitrous oxides and oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons at low and high temperature;
5. The catalyst is highly effective in the degradation of ozone at ambient temperature;
6. The catalyst has high catalytic activities in the simultaneous oxidation of carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and degradation of ozone at ambient temperature and presence of moisture; 7. The catalyst could be used concurrently with the PGM catalysts to deal with their deficiency during the cold start of the combustion engine.
Description of Examples
Example 1
Preparation of the catalyst
1.82 g of HAuCl4.H20 and 24.7 g of Co(N03)2.6H20 are dissolved in 500 cm3 of distilled water heated to 60°C. Support mixture consisting of Ce02 and Ti02 is added to the solution. The temperature is maintained at 60°C and solution of 50 g Na2C03 in 500 cm3 distilled water is added slowly until the pH is elevated to 8.0± 0.1. While stirring, the system in maintained at 60°C for 60 minutes. Thereafter, the composition is left to precipitated and aged for another 60 minutes. The suspension is filtrated and the catalyst is washed with distilled water until complete removal of Cl" and N03 " ions. The catalyst is dried for 4 hours at 120°C and calcined thereafter at 450°C for 6 hours. The calcination temperature is reached slowly.
Figure 1 shows the bonding between gold and the reducible oxide of the transition metal, Co203 in the active cluster, while Figure 2 shows the binding between the cluster and the oxides of the support. Example 2

The results in Table 1 show the effect of the support on the activity of the gold catalyst in the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons.

Example 4

When the PGM catalyst working temperature is obtained, 300°C, the thermostatic valve switch of the flow of the exhaust gases to the gold catalyst and the purification continues on the PGM catalytic surface. Modified schematic configuration with one tale pipe is given in Fid. 4.
