Definitions
- the present invention relates to an alumina exhibiting a particular porous profile and good thermal stability.
- This alumina is also characterized by the fact that it has a high bulk density.
- Alumina is used as a support for precious metals, in particular platinum, palladium and / or rhodium. It can also be associated with other components of the catalyst, components which will depend on the catalyst and the intended application (diesel or gasoline pollution control).
- oxides based on rare earths such as cerium oxides or mixed oxides of cerium and zirconium used as oxygen mobility materials for gasoline engine catalysts ( so-called three-way catalyst (TWC in English) or gasoline particulate filters (GPF)).
- the alumina can also be combined with a zeolite used for example as a hydrocarbon trap for diesel catalysts or else with a zeolite exchanged with copper and / or iron for catalysts for the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia ( SCR) for the reduction of NO x emitted by diesel engines.
- a zeolite used for example as a hydrocarbon trap for diesel catalysts or else with a zeolite exchanged with copper and / or iron for catalysts for the catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia ( SCR) for the reduction of NO x emitted by diesel engines.
- thermal stability of the alumina is required to be high because this makes it possible to maintain the efficiency of the catalyst over time, that is to say to maintain a good conversion of gaseous pollutants.
- thermal stability is understood to mean the fact of maintaining a high specific surface area after heat treatments at high temperature.
- a simple and common way to characterize the thermal stability of an alumina is to measure its specific surface area after heat treatment at high temperature, for example at 1200 ° C for 5 hours in air.
- the preparation of an automotive pollution control catalyst generally involves the deposition or coating of an alumina-based suspension on a substrate or on a monolith.
- the alumina of the invention is suitable for the preparation of a suspension having a low viscosity, which makes it possible to prepare a suspension having a high proportion of alumina. Furthermore, the high density of the alumina of the invention facilitates the handling of the alumina powder.
- thermal stability of aluminas is generally partly linked to the pore volume of the alumina. By increasing this pore volume, thermal stability is generally increased. This increase in pore volume, however, leads to a lowering significant in the density of the alumina and an increase in the viscosity of the alumina slurry during the catalyst preparation process.
- the specific porosity of the alumina of the invention makes it possible to obtain both high thermal stability as well as high bulk density.
- Fig. 1/1 represents a diffractogram of the alumina of the invention (example 1). It can be seen that this alumina exhibits the peaks characteristic of a crystallized alumina.
- the invention relates to an alumina as defined in one of claims 1 to 42.
- alumina comprises the elements Al and O and also an additional element (E) which is La, Pr or a combination of La + Pr, the proportion of the element (E) possibly being between 0.1% and 6 , 0% by weight, or even between 0.5% and 6.0% by weight, or even between 1.0% and 6.0% by weight, or even between 2.0% and 6.0% by weight, this proportion being expressed by weight of element (E) expressed in oxide form relative to the total weight of alumina, and it is characterized by at least one of the following two porosity profiles:
- ⁇ 1 st profile a pore volume in the area of the pores, the size of which is between 5 nm and 100 nm which is between 0.60 and 0.85 mL / g, more particularly between 0.60 and 0.80 mL / g; and a pore volume in the area of the pores, the size of which is between 100 nm and 1000 nm which is less than or equal to 0.20 ml / g, more particularly less than or equal to 0.15 ml / g, or even less than or equal at 0.10 ml / g, or even less than or equal to 0.05 ml / g; and or
- a pore volume in the area of pores having a size between 5 nm and 100 nm is between 0.50 and 0.75 mL / g , more particularly between 0.50 and 0.70 mL / g; and a pore volume in the area of the pores, the size of which is between 100 nm and 1000 nm which is less than or equal to 0.20 ml / g, more particularly less than or equal to 0.15 ml / g, or even less than or equal at 0.10 ml / g, or even less than or equal to 0.05 ml / g; these pore volumes being determined using the mercury porosimetry technique.
- This alumina can include sodium and sulfate as well as impurities.
- the invention also relates to a catalytic composition as defined in claim 43, as well as to the use of alumina as defined in claim 44.
- the invention also relates to a process for preparing an alumina as defined in one of claims 45 to 52.
- concentrations of the solutions or the proportions in alumina of the elements Al and element (E) are given in% by weight in oxide equivalents.
- oxides are thus used for the calculations of these concentrations or proportions: Al2O3 for the element Al, La2O3 for the element La and RGbOii for the element Pr.
- an aqueous solution of aluminum sulphate exhibiting a aluminum concentration of 2.0% by weight corresponds to a solution containing 2.0% by weight in AI2O3 equivalent.
- an alumina comprising 4.0% of lanthanum corresponds to 4.0% of La 2 C> 3.
- Particle is understood to mean an agglomerate formed from primary particles.
- Particle size is determined from a volume distribution of particle sizes obtained using a laser particle sizer.
- the particle size distribution is characterized using parameters D10, D50 and D90. These parameters have the usual meaning in the field of measurements by laser diffraction.
- Dx is denoted the value which is determined on the volume distribution of the sizes of the particles for which x% of the particles have a size less than or equal to this value Dx.
- D50 therefore corresponds to the median value of the distribution.
- D90 corresponds to the size for which 90% of the particles have a size which is less than D90.
- D10 corresponds to the size for which 10% of the particles have a size which is less than D10.
- the measurement is generally made on a dispersion of the particles in water.
- the porosity data are obtained by the mercury porosimetry technique. This technique makes it possible to define the pore volume (V) as a function of the pore diameter (D).
- a Micromeritics Autopore 9520 device fitted with a powder penetrometer can be used, complying with the instructions recommended by the manufacturer.
- the ASTM D 4284-07 procedure can be followed. With the help of these data, it is possible to determine the pore volume in the region of pores whose size is between 5 nm and 100 nm (VP5-100 nm ), the pore volume in the region of pores whose size is between 100 nm and 1000 nm (VPioo-iooo nm) and the total pore volume (TPV).
- the term “specific surface area” means the BET specific surface area determined by nitrogen adsorption determined using the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method. This method has been described in the periodical "The Journal of the American Chemical Society, 60, 309 (1938)". The recommendations of the standard ASTM D3663 - 03 can be complied with.
- the calcinations for a given temperature and time correspond, unless otherwise indicated, to calcinations in air at a temperature plateau over the indicated time.
- the alumina of the invention is an alumina comprising an additional element (E) which is La, Pr or a combination of La + Pr.
- Element (E) can in particular and advantageously be element La.
- This type of alumina comprising such an element is generally described as a so-called doped alumina.
- the proportion of element (E) is between 0.1% and 6.0% by weight, or even between 0.5% and 6.0% by weight, this proportion being expressed by weight of element (E ) expressed in the form of oxide relative to the total weight of the alumina. This proportion may be between 1.0% and 6.0% by weight, or even between 2.0% and 6.0% by weight.

- 2 nd profile after calcination in air at 1100 ° C for 5 hours: a pore volume in the area of the pores the size of which is between 5 nm and 100 nm which is between 0.50 and 0.75 mL / g, more particularly between 0.50 and 0.70 mL / g; and a pore volume in the area of the pores, the size of which is between 100 nm and 1000 nm which is less than or equal to 0.20 mL / g, more particularly less than or equal to 0.15 mL / g, or even less than or equal at 0.10 mL / g, or even less than or equal to 0.05 mL / g.
- Alumina can also be defined by at least one of the following two porosity profiles:
- ⁇ 1 st profile a pore volume in the region of the pores, the size of which is between 5 nm and 100 nm which is between 0.60 and 0.85 mL / g; and a pore volume in the area of the pores the size of which is between 100 nm and 1000 nm which is less than or equal to 0.20 mL / g; and or
- ⁇ 2 nd profile after calcination in air at 1100 ° C for 5 hours: a pore volume in the area of pores having a size between 5 nm and 100 nm is between 0.50 and 0.75 mL / g ; and a pore volume in the area of the pores the size of which is between 100 nm and 1000 nm which is less than or equal to 0.20 mL / g.
- the alumina which is described in the present application can have at least one of the two aforementioned profiles, it being understood that it can have both profiles at the same time.
- the alumina can have a high specific surface. It may have a BET specific surface area of between 100 and 200 m 2 / g, more particularly between 150 and 200 m 2 / g. This specific surface can be greater than or equal to 120 m 2 / g, preferably greater than or equal to 140 m 2 / g. This specific surface can also be between 100 and 140 m 2 / g, or even between 100 and 120 m 2 / g.
- the alumina also has high thermal stability. It can have a BET specific surface after calcination in air at 1200 ° C. for 5 hours of between 45 and 60 m 2 / g.
- the alumina generally has a total pore volume which is generally strictly greater than 1.05 mL / g.
- This total pore volume can advantageously be at least 1.10 mL / g, or even at least 1. 20 mL / g, or even at least 1.30 mL / g or at least 1.40 mL / g or at least 1.50 mL / g.
- This total pore volume is generally at most 2.40 mL / g.
- the alumina retains a large total pore volume even after calcination at 1100 ° C. for 5 hours.
- the alumina after calcination at 1100 ° C. for 5 hours, the alumina generally exhibits a total pore volume which is at least 0.90 mL / g.
- This total pore volume is preferably at least 1.00 ml / g, or even at least 1.10 ml / g, or even more advantageously at least 1.20 ml / g.
- This total pore volume is generally at most 1.80 mL / g.
- the alumina can have an apparent density of between 0.25 g / cm 3 and 0.55 g / cm 3 , more particularly between 0.40 g / cm 3 and 0.55 g / cm 3 .
- This bulk density can be determined by the method described below. First, the volume of a cylindrical-shaped test tube of approximately 25 mL is precisely determined. To do this, the empty specimen is weighed (tare T). Distilled water is then poured into the test tube to the edge but without going over the edge (no meniscus). Weigh the test tube filled with distilled water (M). The mass of water contained in the test tube is therefore:
- the density of the water is for example equal to 0.99983 g / mL for a measurement temperature of 20 ° C.
- the alumina can have an D50 of between 2.0 ⁇ m and 80.0 ⁇ m. It may have a D90 less than or equal to 150.0 ⁇ m, more particularly less than or equal to 100.0 ⁇ m. It may have a D10 greater than or equal to 1.0 ⁇ m.
- the alumina has a D50 of between 2.0 and 15.0 ⁇ m, or even between 4.0 and 12.0 ⁇ m.
- the D90 can be between 20.0 pm and 60.0 pm, or even between 25.0 pm and 50.0 pm.
- the apparent density is between 0.25 and 0.40 g / cm 3 ;
- the total pore volume is between 1.40 and 2.40 mL / g.
- This total pore volume can be more advantageously between 1.50 and 2.40 mL / g.
- the alumina has a D50 of between 15.0 and 80.0 ⁇ m, or even between 20.0 and 60.0 ⁇ m.
- the D90 can be between 40.0 pm and 150.0 pm, or even between 50.0 pm and 100.0 pm.
- the apparent density may be between 0.40 and 0.55 g / cm 3 ;
- the total pore volume is between 1.05 (excluded value) and 1.80 mL / g.
- This total pore volume can be more advantageously between 1, 20 and 1, 80 ml / g.
- the alumina can include residual sodium.
- the residual sodium level may be less than or equal to 0.50% by weight, or even less than or equal to 0.15% by weight.
- the sodium level can be greater than or equal to 50 ppm. This rate can be between 50 and 900 ppm, or even between 100 and 800 ppm. This level is expressed by weight of Na 2 0 relative to the total weight of alumina. Thus, for an alumina having a residual sodium level of 0.15%, it is considered that there is per 100 g of alumina, 0.15 g of Na 2 0.
- the method for determining the sodium level in this range of concentrations is known to those skilled in the art. For example, the technique of inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy can be used.
- the alumina can include residual sulfate.
- the level of residual sulphate may be less than or equal to 1.00% by weight, or even less than or equal to 0.20% by weight, or even less than or equal to 0.10% by weight.
- the sulphate level can be greater than or equal to 50 ppm. This rate can be between 100 and 1500 ppm, or even between 400 and 1000 ppm. This rate is expressed in weight of sulphate relative to the total weight of alumina. Thus, for an alumina having a residual sulphate level of 0.50%, it is considered that there is per 100 g of alumina, 0.50 g of SO 4 .
- the method for determining the level of sulphate in this range of concentrations is known to those skilled in the art such as, for example, the technique of inductively coupled plasma spectroscopy. You can also use microanalysis techniques. A Horiba EMIA 320-V2 type microanalysis device could be suitable.
- Alumina can also contain impurities other than sodium and sulphate, for example impurities based on silicon, titanium or iron.
- the proportion of each impurity is generally less than 0.10% by weight, or even less than 0.05% by weight.
- the alumina is crystallized. This can be demonstrated using an X-ray diffractogram.
- the alumina can comprise a delta phase, a theta phase, a gamma phase or a mixture of at least two of these phases.
- the alumina of the invention may more particularly exhibit at least one of the following two porosity profiles:
- a pore volume in the area of the pores the size of which is between 5 nm and 100 nm which is between 0.60 and 0.85 mL / g, more particularly between 0.60 and 0.80 mL / g; and a pore volume in the area of the pores the size of which is between 100 nm and 1000 nm which is less than or equal to 0.05 mL / g; and or
- 2 nd profile after calcination in air at 1100 ° C for 5 hours: a pore volume in the area of the pores the size of which is between 5 nm and 100 nm which is between 0.50 and 0.75 mL / g, more particularly between 0.50 and 0.70 mL / g; and a pore volume in the area of the pores the size of which is between 100 nm and 1000 nm which is less than or equal to 0.05 mL / g.
