Definitions
- the present invention is directed to ultrasonic (US) cleaning of dry powder coated wall flow filter substrates.
- the exhaust gas from internal combustion engines in motor vehicles typically contains the pollutant gases carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrocarbons (HC), nitrogen oxides (NO x ) and possibly sulfur oxides (SO x ), as well as particles that are largely made up of solid carbon-containing particles and possibly adhering organic agglomerates . These are known as primary emissions.
- CO, HC and particles are products of the incomplete combustion of the fuel in the engine's combustion chamber.
- Nitrogen oxides are formed in the cylinder from nitrogen and oxygen in the intake air when the combustion temperatures exceed 1200 ° C. Sulfur oxides result from the combustion of organic sulfur compounds, which are always contained in small quantities in non-synthetic fuels.
- the flow or wall flow honeycomb bodies just described are also referred to as catalyst carriers, carriers or substrate monoliths, as they carry the catalytically active coating on their surface or in the walls forming this surface.
- the catalytically active coating is often applied to the catalyst carrier in a so-called coating process in the form of a suspension (washcoat).
- washcoat a suspension
- Many such processes have been published in the past by car exhaust catalyst manufacturers for this purpose (EP1064094B1, EP2521618B1,
- a coating can also be carried out by applying dry powder.
- This method seems to offer advantages, in particular for the application of dry powder to the inlet side of a wall flow filter, as it allows the targeted adaptation of a desired filtration efficiency to be achieved while the exhaust gas back pressure is not increased excessively (US8388721B2; EP2727640A1; US82711580AB2; EP2502502661A1; EP2502502661A1; US9745227B2; W018115900A1).
- the object of the present invention is to remove the deposits created by the coating of the wall flow filter on the plug on the inlet side of the coating by a process step downstream of the dry powder coating of wall flow filter substrates. During this cleaning of the precipitated material, the distribution of the coated material in the wall flow filter itself should remain unaffected, so that the desired properties of the correspondingly manufactured filters are not negatively influenced.
- All ceramic materials customary in the prior art can be used as wall flow monoliths or wall flow filter substrates.
- Porous wall-flow filter substrates made of cordierite, silicon carbide or aluminum titanate are preferably used. These wall-flow filter substrates have inflow and outflow channels, the outflow-side ends of the inflow channels and the inflow-side ends of the outflow channels being closed off with gas-tight “plugs”, offset from one another.
- the exhaust gas to be cleaned, which flows through the filter substrate is forced to pass through the porous wall between the inflow and outflow channels, which results in an excellent particle filter effect.
- the filtration properties for particles can be designed through the porosity, pore / radius distribution and thickness of the wall.
- the porosity of the uncoated wall flow filter is usually more than 40%, generally from 40% to 75%, especially from 50% to 70% [measured according to DIN 66133 - latest version on the filing date].
- the average pore size (mean pore diameter; d50 of the Q3 distribution) of the uncoated filter is at least 7 ⁇ m, e.g. B. from 7 pm to 34 pm, preferably more than 10 pm, particularly more preferably from 10 pm to 25 pm or very preferably from 15 pm to 20 pm [measured according to DIN 66134, latest version on the filing date].
- the dry wall-flow filter substrate is loaded with a dry powder, which is brought into the input area of the filter according to methods common to those skilled in the art (see literature above). It is given before given a dry powder-gas aerosol in the inflow channel of the dry Wall flow filter substrate spent.
- a method and apparatus as described in DE102018111246A1 is particularly preferred.
- the application of the dry powder-gas aerosol to the dry, possibly previously conventionally wet-technically, catalytically coated wall-flow filter substrate causes the powdery components, in particular high-melting metal compounds, preferably oxides, to follow the flow of the gas on the surface of the inflow channels in the Separate the filter and, if necessary, in the pores of the filter.
- the person skilled in the art knows how to produce an aerosol from a corresponding powder and a gas in order to then pass it through the wall-flow filter to which the powder is to be applied.
- a dry filter on its input surface is advantageously contacted with a dry powder-gas aerosol by dispersing the powder in a gas, then passing it into a gas stream and without further supplying a gas into the inlet side or inflow channels of the filter sucks or presses. For reasons of health and safety, sucking is preferable to pressing.
- gases for the production of the aerosol and for introduction into the filter all gases which are suitable for the present purpose to the person skilled in the art can be used.
- air is very particularly preferred.
- other reaction gases can also be used, which can either develop an oxidizing (e.g. O2, NO2) or a reducing (e.g. H2) activity towards the powder used.
- inert gases e.g. N2
- noble gases e.g. He
- Powders which are preferably used in the present invention to generate the aerosol, are sufficiently known to the person skilled in the art. As a rule, these are high-melting metal compounds that are commonly used as carrier materials for catalysts in the automotive exhaust area. Corresponding metal oxide, metal sulfate, metal phosphate, metal carbonate or metal hydroxide powders are preferably used. The use of an aerosol, which is a mixture of air and a metal oxide powder, is very particularly preferred.
- the metals that are suitable for the metal compounds are, in particular, those selected from the group of alkali metals, alkaline earth metals or earth metals or transition metals.
- Those metals are preferably selected from the group calcium, magnesium, strontium, barium, Aluminum, silicon, titanium, zirconium, cerium are used. As mentioned, these metals can preferably be used as oxides. The use of cerium oxide, titanium dioxide, zirconium dioxide, silicon dioxide, aluminum oxide or mixtures or mixed oxides thereof is very particularly preferred.
- the term mixed oxide (solid solutions of one metal oxide in at least one other) is also understood here to mean the use of zeolites and zeotypes. In the context of the invention, zeolites and zeotypes are defined as in WO2015049110A1.
- the powders used here can be used as such as described above.
- the use of dry metal compounds, in particular oxide powders, which have a catalytic activity with regard to exhaust gas aftertreatment is also conceivable.
- the powder itself can also be catalytically active in terms of reducing the pollutants in the exhaust gas of an internal combustion engine. All activities known to the person skilled in the art can be used for this, such as TWC, DOC, SCR, LNT or soot burn-off accelerating catalysts.
- the powder will have the same catalytic activity as any catalytic coating of the filter. This further increases the overall catalytic activity of the filter compared to filters that are not coated with catalytically active powder.
- the powder can consist, for example, of zeolites or zeotypes exchanged with transition metal ions.
- the use of iron and / or copper-exchanged zeolites is very particularly preferred in this context.
- An activity of the powder can also advantageously lie in the improved soot combustion.
- the surface of the particles in the powder is preferably very high.
- the high-melting compound advantageously has a BET surface area of> 50 m 2 / g, more preferably> 70 m 2 / g and very preferably> 100 m 2 / g to preferably a maximum of 1000 m 2 / g.
- the BET surface area is determined in accordance with DIN ISO 9277: 2003- 05 (Determination of the specific surface area of solids by gas adsorption according to the BET method - latest version on the filing date).
- a high outer surface offers an excellent separation surface for the particles, especially soot particles in the nanometer range.
- the particle diameter in the aerosol should be small. This can be expressed in that the ratio of the mean particle diameter (d50 - Q3 distribution; measured with the Tornado dry dispersion module from Beckmann in accordance with the latest ISO 13320-1 on the filing date) in the dry aerosol and the mean pore diameter of the wall flow filter (d50 - Q3 distribution; measured in accordance with DIN 66134 - latest version on the filing date) between 0.03 - 2, preferably between 0.05 - 1.43 and very particularly preferably between 0.05 - 0.63.
- the aerosol preferably with a speed of 5 m / s to 60 m / s, more preferably 10 m / s to 50 m / s and very particularly preferably 15 m / s up to 40 m / s is sucked through the filter, as this corresponds to the later exhaust gas velocities. In this way, an advantageous adhesion of the applied powder is also achieved.
- the flow velocities mentioned were measured on the substrate surface upstream of the wall flow filter.
- the measuring device is in contact with the substrate surface.
- a vane anemometer is used to measure the speeds. The specialist knows how to do this.
- the amount of powder in the filter depends on the type of powder and the dimensions of the filter and can be determined in preliminary tests by a person skilled in the art under the given boundary conditions (not too high exhaust gas pressure).
- the loading of the filter with the powder is less than 50 g / l based on the filter volume.
- the value is preferably not more than 30 g / l, very particularly preferably not more than 20 g / l.
- the desired increase in filtration efficiency forms a lower limit. Particularly preferred in this one
- the relationship is when the amount of powder remaining in the filter is below 10g / l.
- dry accordingly means the exclusion of the presence of a liquid, in particular water.
- a liquid in particular water.
- the preparation of a suspension of the powder in a liquid for atomization in a gas stream should be avoided.
- a certain amount of moisture may be tolerable for both the filter and the powder, provided that the achievement of the goal - the finely distributed deposition of the powder in or on the input surface - is not adversely affected.
- the powder is free-flowing and dispersible due to the input of energy.
- the moisture of the powder or the filter at the time of exposure to the powder should be less than 20%, preferably less than 10% and very particularly preferably less than 5% (measured at 20 ° C and normal pressure ISO 11465 latest version on the filing date) .
- the bulk density of the powder is preferably 50-1000 g / L, more preferably 100-700 g / L and very preferably 150-400 g / L.
- the ultrasonic signals are generated in a generator (https: //www.sonikks.de/de/funktionêt-von-ultraschallgeneratoren).
- the ultrasonic signals are converted into mechanical vibrations in a converter (https://www.sonikks.de/de/ultra- schall- area / schwingsysteme-converter), which are preferably emitted to the environment via a sonotrode (https: // www. sonikks.de/de/ultraschall- economic/so- notroden), translated.
- the sound waves are transmitted from the radiating surface of the sonotrode to the surrounding medium before they hit the precipitation. In the present case, this medium is preferably air.
- the sonotrode itself can be designed in such a way that an amplitude modification of the sound wave also takes place here.
- the sonotrode is advantageously designed so that its resonance frequency is in the frequency range given below.
- Sonotrodes can be designed as rectangles, full cones, hollow cones and other shapes.
- a sonotrode shape is advantageous which focuses the sound pressure on a small volume in order to generate the highest possible sound pressure densities there. Tests have shown that a full cone sonotrode can generate the highest sound pressures at a focal point in front of the sound radiation surface. Their use is therefore preferred in the present case.
- the sonotrode can be directed directly at the surface to be cleaned, as shown in FIG.
- the distance from the center point of the sonotrode emitting surface and the substrate surface (h3 in FIG. 2) in the case of direct ultrasound irradiation is between 1 mm and 100 mm, preferably between 2 mm and 60 mm and very particularly preferably between 5 mm and 30 mm. It is advantageous here if the sound hits the substrate surface at a certain angle of inclination in order to clean off the plug deposits.
- the angle of inclination is understood to mean the angle between the inflow surface of the substrate, the substrate surface, and the normal of the radiating surface of the sonotrode. (Fig. 2) is gebil det. A person skilled in the art can determine the optimal angle of inclination. This should preferably be between 20 ° and 80 ° and very preferably 45 ° to 80 °.
- the ultrasound can advantageously be generated by means of a device for generating ultrasound (5) having a sonotrode (1), and reflectors can also be used, via which the ultrasound is reflected onto the substrate surface to be cleaned (FIGS. 1, 5 ). Regardless of the absorption and scattering of obstacles, the sound pressure is reduced by the uniform expansion in all spatial directions according to the 1 / r 2 law. By using reflectors that interrupt the even propagation of sound in all directions, the drop in sound pressure on the substrate surface can be reduced. This leads to an increased sound pressure on the substrate surface and thus more efficient cleaning.
- the sonotrode cannot be aimed directly at the surface to be cleaned as shown in FIG. 2, it has proven to be particularly advantageous to radiate the sound waves in a volume limited by reflectors in order to reduce the sound pressure due to the spherical sound propagation to reduce.
- the portion of the sound waves that does not propagate in the direction of the wall flow filter surface is reflected back onto it (Fig. 5). This increases the range of the sound waves and increases the sound pressure density.
- the use of appropriately designed reflectors is therefore preferred in the present case.
- the reflector material must be more soundproof than air.
- the material of the reflector should be made in such a way that as little sound as possible is absorbed and scattered, since otherwise it cannot be used for cleaning off powder residues. Low scattering and absorption can be achieved with smooth, hard surfaces.
- the absorption of the sound in the resonator depends on the frequency of the sound waves. The higher the frequency of the sound wave, the stronger the absorption. This results in both reduced emissions and the range into the wall flow filter is smaller. Due to the short range in the wall flow filter, the distribution of the coated material remains almost unchanged, which is to be preferred here.
- FIG. 5 shows a system in which the reflector is designed as a spherical shell.
- the direction of emission of the sonotrode is directed towards the center of the reflector.
- the distance between the center of the sonotrode emitting surface and the center of the reflector (h4, Figure 5) is based on the diameter of the wall flow filter and is between 30mm and 410mm.
- the diameter of the spherical shell reflector must be adapted to the distance to the sonotrode. This can be done in experimental trials.
- the distance from the center of the The spherical shell reflector to the substrate surface is between 20mm and 200mm, preferably between 30mm and 150mm and very particularly preferably between 40mm and 120mm.
- the surface to be cleaned must be completely irradiated in the plane with the sonotrode if the entire surface is to be cleaned.
- the complexity of the overall system can be reduced using the device for plug cleaning shown in FIG.
- the device for generating ultrasound (5), including the sonotrode (1 ) is fixed and the ultrasound is reflected by a movable reflector (6) onto the substrate surface to be cleaned. As a result, every point on the substrate surface can then be reached very easily.
- both the sonotrode (1) and the reflector (6) can be movably mounted.
- FIG. 1 An arrangement made up of a half-tube reflector (3) attached above the sonotrode (1) has also proven to be a more advantageous embodiment (FIG. 1).
- the half-tube reflector can also be attached to the sonotrode holder.
- the distance between the center axis of the sonotrode emitting surface and the half-tube reflector (h1, FIG. 1) is between 2mm and 100mm, preferably between 5mm and 80mm and most preferably between 10mm and 70mm.
- the diameter of the half-tube reflector is between 10 mm and 50 mm, preferably between 15 mm and 45 mm and very particularly preferably between 20 mm and 40 mm.
- the tailpipe reflector (4) can be attached at a variable distance. Depending on the preferred type of wave, the reflector should be attached to the end of the tube (4) at a certain distance from the sonotrode. For the formation of standing waves, the distance between the tailpipe reflector (4) must be a multiple of half the wavelength.
- progressive sound waves which are also called progressive waves
- progressive waves can also be used for the Solution of the task described.
- These waves are characterized by non-stationary minima and maxima of the amplitudes.
- the preferred distance of the tailpipe reflector is to be determined from experiments for the respective substrate dimensions. It is usually between 30mm and 410mm, which corresponds to the usual wall flow filter substrate dimensions.
- the device for generating ultrasound (5) is designed to be movable in such a way that it - including the cavity reflector - can be guided over or around the substrate surface to be cleaned (FIG. 3).
- the substrate surface of the wall flow filter substrate to be cleaned has a certain extent.
- the substrate can be square, round or oval.
- each point on the surface is subjected to the sound pressure from a wide variety of sides. This leads to a better cleaning of the stopper from the coating with the powder.
- This can advantageously be achieved in that the described device for plug cleaning (5) is guided around the substrate during the action of sound (FIG. 3).
- the device shown for plug cleaning (5) is rotated around the mounting axis (see position 8 in FIG. 3) so that ultrasound can be applied to all areas of the surface to be cleaned.
- the travel path of the device shown for stopper cleaning (5) can be between 10% and 100% of half the circumference.
- the rotation (8) can take place within an angle of e.g. 50 °.
- the holder of the So notrode (1) can be on a rail and is moved by a linear motor. The person skilled in the art can accomplish the design of this embodiment.
- the ultrasound devices must be able to generate a corresponding sound pressure. If too little sound pressure is generated, the powder deposits cannot be removed sufficiently well. If too much sound pressure is generated, the substrate may be damaged. It has proven to be advantageous if the sound pressure of the ultrasound is 1 kPa to 100 kPa (measured at a distance from the center point of the sonotrode radiating surface between 2 mm and 10 mm).
- the sound pressure is more preferably between 7 kPa - 70 kPa and very particularly 10 kPa - 50 kPa.
- the frequency of the sound is preferably between 10 kHz and 60 kHz, preferably between 15 kHz and 55 kHz and very preferably between 20 kHz and 50 kHz.
- the sound pressure can lead to a dispersion of the deposits.
- the wall flow filter to be cleaned is advantageously clamped in a coating device during the ultrasonic treatment according to the invention.
- the material to be cleaned is advantageously sucked and / or pressed into the wall-flow filter by applying an air stream. This improves the utilization of the coating material.

- Fig. 5 Schematic representations of the arrangement consist of sonotrode (1), spherical shell reflector (6), substrate surface to be cleaned (2) and sonotrode holder (5), the direction of propagation of the sound is shown in dashed lines.
- ultrasound was used to remove powder from the plugs on the upstream side of a wall-flow filter loaded with a dry powder.
- the cleaning effect was examined with direct and indirect ultrasonic radiation.
- direct ultrasound irradiation is understood to mean the arrangement as shown in FIG.
- the Sontrode is aimed directly at the surface to be cleaned.
- the surface to be cleaned is scanned with the sonotrode.
- the wall flow filter is clamped in a vacuum device so that the cleaned off powder is sucked into the filter.
- the sonotrode is directed towards a reflector.
- the arrangement corresponds to that in FIG. 5.
- the sonotrode remained fixed and the surface was cleaned by moving the spherical shell reflector.
- the resonance frequency of the sonotrode was 35 kHz. Substrates with a diameter of 5.2 "and a length of 4 were used. After the ultrasonic treatment, the upstream side of the wall flow filter is powder-free (see FIG. 4). The powder distribution in the substrate was not influenced by the ultrasound. The functional properties (filtration efficiency and back pressure) remain almost unchanged compared to the reference.
