【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、触媒活性成分を担持するのに用いられる基材に係り、更に詳細には、耐熱性に優れ、耐久後においても、貴金属のシンタリングや固溶が抑制され、貴金属の良好な分散性が維持される触媒担持用基材、その製造方法及びこの基材を用いた触媒に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、貴金属の熱劣化(シンタリング、基材への固溶等)を抑制するために種々の提案がされている。例えば、ロジウム(Rh)を高分散させる方法として、担持基材であるアルミナに一旦固溶させ、還元処理する方法が提案されている(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
また、高耐熱性触媒担持用基材として、アルカリ金属元素・アルカリ土類金属元素、アルミナ、チタニア、ジルコニア、シリカ等を含有した非晶質の複合酸化物を用いることが提案されている(例えば、特許文献2参照。)。
【0003】
【特許文献1】
特開平9−299796号公報
【特許文献2】
特開平9−122486号公報
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、特許文献1に記載されているような方法では、触媒が再び高温で酸素雰囲気に曝されると、Rhがアルミナ基材に固溶してしまう可能性があり、未だ十分とは言えなかった。
また、特許文献2に記載されている高耐熱性触媒担持用基材にあっても、貴金属の熱劣化抑制性能が十分とは言い難い。
【0005】
本発明は、このような従来技術の有する課題に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、触媒活性成分の熱劣化を抑制し、触媒性能を向上し、使用する触媒活性成分の量を低減し得る触媒担持用基材、その製造方法及び該基材を用いた触媒を提供することにある。
【0006】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明者らは、上記目的を達成すべく鋭意検討を重ねた結果、チタンとジルコニア等を含有する特定の耐熱性無機複合酸化物を形成することなどにより、上記目的が達成できることを見出し、本発明を完成するに至った。
【0007】
即ち、本発明の触媒担持用基材は、次式▲1▼
[Ti]a[Zr]b[Al]cOx…▲1▼
(式中のaは0.01≦a≦0.2、bは0.01≦b≦0.2、cはc=2−a−bの関係を満足し、xは化学量論を満たす酸素数を示す。)で表される組成を有する耐熱性無機複合酸化物を含有するものであって、触媒活性成分を担持した後の耐久後に所定の(上記表Aで特定される)X線回折パターン(2θ−d値)を示す。
【0008】
また、本発明の他の触媒担持用基材は、次式▲2▼
[Ti]a[Zr]b[α]c[Al]dOx…▲2▼
(式中のaは0.01≦a≦0.2、bは0.01≦b≦0.2、cは0.01≦c≦0.2、dはd=2−a−b−cの関係を満足し、xは化学量論を満たす酸素数、αはアルカリ土類金属元素を示す。)で表される組成を有する耐熱性無機複合酸化物を含有するものであって、触媒活性成分を担持した後の耐久後に所定の(上記表Bで特定される)X線回折パターンを示す。
【0009】
更に、本発明の触媒担持用基材の製造方法は、上述した触媒用担持基材を製造する方法である。
触媒担持用基材の別に応じて、水溶性チタン塩と酢酸ジルコニウムをアルミナに含浸した後に焼成するか、水溶性チタン塩と酢酸ジルコニウムとアルカリ土類金属塩をアルミナに含浸した後に焼成する。
【0010】
更にまた、本発明の触媒は、本発明の触媒担持用基材の少なくとも一方を用いたものであり、一方の触媒担持用基材又は双方の触媒担持用基材の混合物に、触媒活性成分、特に貴金属を担持して成る。
【0011】
【発明の実施の形態】
以下、本発明の触媒担持用基材について詳細に説明する。なお、本明細書において、「%」は特記しない限り、質量百分率を表すものとする。
【0012】
上述の如く、本発明の触媒担持用基材は、触媒活性成分、代表的には貴金属を担持するのに用いられる基材であって、アルカリ土類金属を含むものと含まないものとの2種類がある。
ここで、アルカリ土類金属を含まない担持用基材は、次の▲1▼式
[Ti]a[Zr]b[Al]cOx…▲1▼
(式中のaは0.01≦a≦0.2、bは0.01≦b≦0.2、cはc=2−a−bの関係を満足し、xは化学量論を満たす酸素数を示す。)で表される組成を有する耐熱性無機複合酸化物を含有する。
また、触媒活性成分を担持した後の耐久後、代表的には、空気気流中900〜1000℃で1〜3時間放置した後、次の表Aで表されるX線回折パターンを示す。
【0013】
【表3】
【0014】
▲1▼式において、Ti又はZrのAlに対する原子比はa又はbで示すように0.01〜0.2であるが、この原子比が0.2を超えると、TiやZrがチタニア(TiO2)やジルコニア(ZrO2)として単独の酸化物を形成してしまい複合酸化物が得られず、比表面積の低下を招き、アルミナ表面の改質が不可能になる。
一方、この原子比が0.01未満では十分なアルミナ改質効果が得られず、触媒活性成分である貴金属の熱劣化抑制に寄与することができない。
【0015】
また、Ti又はZrのAlに対する原子比はaを0.02≦a≦0.09、bを0.01≦b≦0.07とすることがより好ましい。これは、一般的にTiO2−ZrO2は等分子量混合時に最も酸強度が高くなることが知られており、このためTiO2とZrO2を等分子量付近で混合させたときにアルミナ表面の水酸基との結合性が最も強く、アルミナと複合酸化物を作り易いためと考えられる。
TiのAlに対する原子比が0.01≦a≦0.02の範囲ではアルミナの改質効果は得られているが、例えば触媒活性成分がRhである場合には、この範囲ではRh固溶の起点となり得る入口状サイトが残存していると考えられる。また0.09≦a≦0.2の範囲では、Ti原子による十分な表面改質効果は得られているが、若干のTiO2が単独の酸化物としてアルミナ上に形成し始めるために、より効果的にアルミナ表面の改質を行うためにはTi原子比を0.02≦a≦0.09とすることが望ましい。
【0016】
ZrのAlに対する原子比についても同様の理由から0.01≦b≦0.07とすることがより好ましい。但し、分子径はTiO2<ZrO2であり、比較的分子径の大きなZrO2はTiO2に対して効果的にアルミナ表面の改質を行うことのできる範囲が狭く、比較的ZrO2がアルミナ表面に析出し易くなり、触媒活性成分がアルミナ細孔に吸着しづらくなるため触媒活性が低下し易いと考えられる。
なお、▲1▼式において、酸素原子比xは通常2である。
【0017】
この触媒担持用基材は、▲1▼式で表される複合酸化物を主成分とするが、この基材全体が該複合酸化物のみから構成されている必要はなく、例えば、完全な複合酸化物を形成していないチタニア、ジルコニア及びアルミナ(Al2O3)などの混合物を部分的に有していてもよい。但し、基材全体としては、均質で一体的に把握され得るものであり、この意味では基材組成物と言い得る。
また、基材全体として上記表Aに示すX線回折パターンを示すが、このパターンは、本発明外の複合酸化物や基材と比較すると、相対強度比に特異性が認められる(後述する実施例や比較例を参照。)。この相対強度比の特異性は、アルミナの熱劣化抑制効果と合致し、本発明の触媒担持用基材においては、上記のような耐久後であっても、アルミナのγ−アルミナからθ−アルミナへの相転移が進行し難くなっている。
【0018】
一般に、触媒担持用基材の熱劣化は、通常は主成分であるアルミナのγ−アルミナ→θ−アルミナ→α−アルミナという一連の相転移による焼結に起因する。よって、本発明の担持用基材によれば、例えば、担持する触媒活性成分がPtやPdの場合には、基材を焼結する際に生じる比表面積の低下に伴うシンタリングを抑制することができ、Rhの場合は、アルミナへの固溶を抑制できる。
この作用の詳細は現時点では不明だが、以下のように推測できる。
即ち、何も添加していないアルミナにRhを担持して高温で焼成すると、Rhがアルミナへ固溶してしまう。この現象はRhの固溶という問題点として一般に知られているが、かかるRhの固溶は、担持基材が相転移する際に、Rhがアルミナのバルク(内部)に取り込まれ、この結果、触媒表面(基材表面)に露出できるRh量が減少したものと考えられている。
これに対し、本発明の担持用基材では、Ti原子とZr原子がアルミナ表面に共存してアルミナ表面を改質しており、例えば、基材の固体酸性質の増大に伴う貴金属の酸化状態を改善したり、Rh固溶の起点となり得る入口状サイトが基材表面(アルミナ表面)に生成するのを抑制しているものと推測できる。

次に、本発明の触媒担持用基材のうちアルカリ土類金属元素を含むものは、次式▲2▼
[Ti]a[Zr]b[α]c[Al]dOx…▲2▼
(式中のaは0.01≦a≦0.2、bは0.01≦b≦0.2、cは0.01≦c≦0.2、dはd=2−a−b−cの関係を満足し、xは化学量論を満たす酸素数、αはアルカリ土類金属元素を示す。)で表される組成を有する耐熱性無機複合酸化物を含有し、上記耐久後のX線回折パターンが、次の表Bで表される。
【0020】
【表4】
【0021】
▲2▼式において、Ti及びZrの原子比についての限定理由は、▲1▼式の場合と同様で、Ti又はZrのAlに対する原子比はaを0.01≦a≦0.09、bを0.01≦b≦0.06とすることがより好ましく。また、この複合酸化物全体が完全な化合物となっていなくてもよい点も同様であるが、この複合酸化物において、酸素原子比xは通常4である。
また、▲2▼式から明らかなように、この複合酸化物は、更にアルカリ土類金属元素を含有する。このように、アルカリ土類金属元素を含有させることにより、アルミナの耐熱性をいっそう向上させることができる。しかし、単にアルカリ土類金属元素を基材に含ませると、貴金属に酸素を与えやすくなり、貴金属の触媒性能に悪影響を及ぼす可能性がある。この点、本発明では、TiやZrで基材表面を上述の如く改質しているので、アルカリ土類金属を含有させることにより、基材の耐熱性を有効に向上させることができ、従って、貴金属の触媒性能を更に向上させることができる。
なお、本発明においては、アルカリ土類金属元素であれば単独で又は任意に組み合わせて用いることができるが、特にマグネシウムを好適に用いることができる。
【0022】
また、このアルカリ土類金属元素を含有する触媒担持用基材は、上述のように、耐久後に表Bで表されるX線回折パターンを示し、結晶子径が異なる。
かかる結晶子径の相違は、この担持用基材の方が基材粉末の焼結がいっそう抑制されていることを示しており、耐熱性がいっそう良好であることを示している。
【0023】
次に、本発明の触媒担持用基材の製造方法について説明する。
上述の如く、本発明の製造方法は、得ようとする▲1▼式又は▲2▼式の複合酸化物の別に応じて、▲1▼式の複合酸化物では水溶性チタン塩と酢酸ジルコニウム、▲2▼式の複合酸化物では更にアルカリ土類金属塩を用い、これらを水相でアルミナに含有させ、乾燥した後、焼成する方法である。
ここで、水溶性のTi塩を用いるのは、非水溶性のTi塩であるチタンイソプロポキシドなどを用いると、ルチル型のチタニアの結晶が成長してしまい、アルミナ表面の改質を十分に行えなくなって貴金属の分散度が低下すると考えられるからである。また一般に、高比表面無機酸化物基材であるアルミナは、その表面に多数の水酸基を有し水系溶媒となじみ易いので、Tiによってアルミナ表面の改質を十分に行うには、このようなアルミナ表面との親和性が高く、この表面にチタンを高分散可能とする、水溶性のTi塩を用いることが望ましいからである。
【0024】
なお、上記水溶性Ti塩としては、有機カルボン酸アンモニウム塩を用いることが望ましい。
他の水溶性塩である硫酸塩や塩化物を用いると、硫黄分や塩素分が焼成後においても触媒中に残留し、これらが触媒毒として貴金属を失活させてしまう可能性がある。これに対し、シュウ酸アンモニウム塩を用いると、これらは全て焼成後に二酸化炭素と水に酸化分解されるので、触媒毒となり得る元素が触媒中に残留せず、▲1▼式又は▲2▼式の組成や所定のX線回折パターンを有する複合酸化物の性能を十分に活用することができ、貴金属の触媒活性が低下するのを有効に抑制できる。
【0025】
また、ジルコニウム成分の含浸に関しても、上記同様の理由から酢酸ジルコニウムを使用するが、上述のような不具合を回避できれば、特に限定されるものではない。
更に、アルカリ土類金属塩としても、上記チタン塩の場合と同様の選択理由から、これらの酢酸塩、炭酸塩、硝酸塩、水酸化物等を好適に使用できるが、特に限定されるものではない。
【0026】
なお、アルミナとしては、高比表面積を有すれば特に限定されるものではないが、アルミナの相転移に起因する熱劣化の悪影響を有効に防止するには、γ−アルミナを用いることが好ましい。
かかる熱劣化によりアルミナの表面積が低下するので、担持された貴金属の触媒性能の低下を抑制するためには、アルミナの表面積低下、即ち担持用基材の表面積低下を抑制すべく、高比表面積のγ−アルミナを使用することが望ましいからである。
【0027】
含浸法については、TiとZrをアルミナに担持できれば特に限定されるものではないが、これらを共含浸することが望ましい。
共含浸によれば、各成分の担持比率を制御し易く、また、工程数を少なくできるため作業効率が向上し、更に、成分の担持毎に焼成する場合に生じると推測される触媒担持用基材の劣化が少ないと考えられる。
【0028】
なお、アルカリ土類金属を担持させる場合には、Ti及びZrの一方又は双方と、該アルカリ土類金属とを担持し、次いで、Ti及びZrの一方又は双方を担持することができ、Zrと該アルカリ土類金属とを担持し、次いで、Tiを担持することができる。
【0029】
焼成処理については、上述した所望の複合酸化物が得られる限り特に限定されるものではないが、代表的には、空気気流中900〜1000℃で1〜3時間、好ましくは900〜950℃で2〜3時間加熱することにより焼成を行うことである。
焼成温度が900℃未満では、請求項に示す構造が得られず、1000℃より高いと比表面積の低いα−アルミナが生じてしまう可能性がある。
また、1時間未満では、請求項に示す構造が得られず、3時間より長く焼成しても、所望の複合酸化物を得られるものの経済的ではない。
【0030】
なお、本発明の製造方法においては、上記焼成処理前に乾燥を行い、得られた乾燥粉末を粉砕し、その後に焼成処理に供してもよく、これにより、基材粉末の均一性を向上できる。
【0031】
次に、本発明の触媒について説明する。
本発明の触媒は、上述した本発明の触媒担持用基材を用いたものであり、▲1▼式及び表A、▲2▼式及び表Bで特定される担持用基材を少なくとも1種用い、当該基材に貴金属などの触媒活性成分を担持したものである。
本発明の触媒は、上述の如くその担持用基材が熱安定性に優れるという利点から、貴金属の劣化抑制に優れた効果を示し、触媒が酸化雰囲気に曝される環境下において特に有効である。
なお、用途としては、特に限定されるものではないが、本発明の触媒担持用基材の優れた熱安定性による貴金属の劣化抑制効果により、高温且つ酸化雰囲気に長時間にわたり曝される図1に示すような自動車等の排気ガス浄化触媒として用いることで特に優れた効果を発揮することができる。また、同様に酸化雰囲気に曝される環境下として図2に示すような燃料電池における空気極側の電極触媒や図3に示すような燃料電池から排出される還元ガスの浄化触媒として使用することができる。
【0032】
また、触媒活性成分の例である貴金属としては、Pt、Rh又はPd及びこれらの任意の混合物を例示することができ、本発明の触媒は、特にRhの固溶に対する改善効果が顕著である。
なお、本発明の触媒は、そのままでも使用可能であり、また粒状やペレット状に成形して使用することも可能であるが、一体構造型担体に担持して用いることも可能である。
かかる一体構造型担体としては、コーディエライトなどのセラミックスやフェライト系ステンレスなどの金属等の耐熱性材料から成るモノリス担体やハニカム担体を例示できる。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the method described in
Further, even in the case of the substrate for supporting a high heat resistant catalyst described in Patent Document 2, it is difficult to say that the performance of suppressing the thermal deterioration of the noble metal is sufficient.
[0005]
The present invention has been made in view of such problems of the related art, and has as its object to suppress thermal degradation of a catalytically active component, improve catalytic performance, and improve the catalytically active component used. It is an object of the present invention to provide a catalyst-carrying substrate capable of reducing the amount, a method for producing the substrate, and a catalyst using the substrate.
[0006]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
The present inventors have conducted intensive studies to achieve the above object, and as a result, found that the above object can be achieved by forming a specific heat-resistant inorganic composite oxide containing titanium, zirconia, and the like. The invention has been completed.
[0007]
That is, the substrate for supporting a catalyst of the present invention has the following formula (1)
[Ti] a [Zr] b [Al] cOx ... (1)
(Where a is 0.01 ≦ a ≦ 0.2, b is 0.01 ≦ b ≦ 0.2, c satisfies the relationship of c = 2-ab, and x satisfies the stoichiometry. X-rays containing a heat-resistant inorganic composite oxide having a composition represented by the following formula (specified in Table A above) after durability after supporting the catalytically active component. 3 shows a diffraction pattern (2θ-d value).
[0008]
Further, another catalyst-supporting substrate of the present invention has the following formula (2)
[Ti] a [Zr] b [α] c [Al] dOx ... (2)
(Where a is 0.01 ≦ a ≦ 0.2, b is 0.01 ≦ b ≦ 0.2, c is 0.01 ≦ c ≦ 0.2, and d is d = 2-ab- x is the number of oxygen that satisfies the stoichiometry, α is an alkaline earth metal element), and contains a heat-resistant inorganic composite oxide having a composition represented by the following formula: 2 shows a given X-ray diffraction pattern (specified in Table B above) after endurance after loading of the active ingredient.
[0009]
Further, the method for producing a substrate for supporting a catalyst of the present invention is a method for producing the above-described substrate for supporting a catalyst.
Depending on the type of the substrate for supporting the catalyst, firing is performed after impregnating alumina with a water-soluble titanium salt and zirconium acetate, or firing after impregnating alumina with a water-soluble titanium salt, zirconium acetate, and an alkaline earth metal salt.
[0010]
Furthermore, the catalyst of the present invention uses at least one of the catalyst-supporting substrates of the present invention, and one of the catalyst-supporting substrates or a mixture of both catalyst-supporting substrates contains a catalyst active component, In particular, it comprises a noble metal.
[0011]
BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION
Hereinafter, the catalyst supporting substrate of the present invention will be described in detail. In addition, in this specification, "%" represents a mass percentage unless otherwise specified.
[0012]
As described above, the base material for supporting a catalyst of the present invention is a base material used for supporting a catalytically active component, typically a noble metal, which includes an alkaline earth metal and an alkaline earth metal. There are types.
Here, the supporting base material containing no alkaline earth metal is expressed by the following formula (1).
[Ti] a [Zr] b [Al] cOx ... (1)
(Where a is 0.01 ≦ a ≦ 0.2, b is 0.01 ≦ b ≦ 0.2, c satisfies the relationship of c = 2-ab, and x satisfies the stoichiometry. The composition contains a heat-resistant inorganic composite oxide having a composition represented by the following formula:
Further, after durability after supporting the catalytically active component, typically, after standing in an air stream at 900 to 1000 ° C. for 1 to 3 hours, an X-ray diffraction pattern shown in the following Table A is shown.
[0013]
[Table 3]
[0014]
In the formula (1), the atomic ratio of Ti or Zr to Al is 0.01 to 0.2 as shown by a or b, but if this atomic ratio exceeds 0.2, Ti or Zr becomes titania ( TiO 2 ) Or zirconia (ZrO) 2 ), A single oxide is formed and a composite oxide cannot be obtained, resulting in a decrease in specific surface area and making it impossible to modify the alumina surface.
On the other hand, if this atomic ratio is less than 0.01, a sufficient alumina reforming effect cannot be obtained, and it cannot contribute to the suppression of thermal deterioration of the noble metal which is a catalytically active component.
[0015]
The atomic ratio of Ti or Zr to Al is more preferably such that a is 0.02 ≦ a ≦ 0.09 and b is 0.01 ≦ b ≦ 0.07. This is generally the case for TiO 2 -ZrO 2 Is known to have the highest acid strength when mixed at the same molecular weight. 2 And ZrO 2 It is considered that when is mixed at around the same molecular weight, the bondability with the hydroxyl group on the alumina surface is the strongest, and it is easy to form a composite oxide with alumina.
When the atomic ratio of Ti to Al is in the range of 0.01 ≦ a ≦ 0.02, the reforming effect of alumina is obtained. For example, when the catalytically active component is Rh, the solid solution of Rh It is considered that an entrance-like site that can be a starting point remains. In the range of 0.09 ≦ a ≦ 0.2, a sufficient surface modification effect by Ti atoms is obtained, but slight TiO 2 2 Is formed as a single oxide on alumina, and in order to more effectively modify the alumina surface, the Ti atomic ratio is desirably 0.02 ≦ a ≦ 0.09.
[0016]
For the same reason, the atomic ratio of Zr to Al is more preferably 0.01 ≦ b ≦ 0.07. However, the molecular diameter is TiO 2 <ZrO 2 And ZrO having a relatively large molecular diameter. 2 Is TiO 2 The range over which the alumina surface can be effectively modified with respect to 2 Is likely to precipitate on the alumina surface, and it becomes difficult for the catalytically active component to be adsorbed on the alumina pores, so that the catalytic activity is likely to decrease.
In the formula (1), the oxygen atom ratio x is usually 2.
[0017]
The base material for supporting the catalyst is mainly composed of the composite oxide represented by the formula (1). However, it is not necessary that the whole substrate is composed of only the composite oxide. Titania, zirconia and alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) May partially be present. However, the whole substrate can be grasped uniformly and integrally, and in this sense, it can be called a substrate composition.
Further, the X-ray diffraction pattern shown in Table A above is shown for the entire substrate, and this pattern has specificity in the relative intensity ratio when compared with the composite oxide and the substrate outside the present invention (see below). See examples and comparative examples.) The specificity of this relative intensity ratio is consistent with the effect of suppressing the thermal degradation of alumina, and in the catalyst-carrying substrate of the present invention, even after the above-described endurance, the γ-alumina of the alumina is converted to the θ-alumina. It is difficult for the phase transition to proceed.
[0018]
In general, the thermal deterioration of the catalyst-supporting substrate is caused by sintering due to a series of phase transition of alumina, which is a main component, usually from γ-alumina to θ-alumina to α-alumina. Therefore, according to the supporting substrate of the present invention, for example, when the catalytically active component to be supported is Pt or Pd, it is possible to suppress the sintering caused by the decrease in the specific surface area that occurs when the substrate is sintered. In the case of Rh, solid solution in alumina can be suppressed.
The details of this effect are unknown at present, but can be guessed as follows.
That is, when Rh is supported on alumina to which nothing is added and fired at a high temperature, Rh is dissolved in the alumina. This phenomenon is generally known as a problem of the solid solution of Rh. Such solid solution of Rh is incorporated into the bulk (inside) of alumina when the supporting substrate undergoes a phase transition. It is considered that the amount of Rh that can be exposed on the catalyst surface (substrate surface) has decreased.
On the other hand, in the support substrate of the present invention, Ti and Zr atoms coexist on the alumina surface to modify the alumina surface. For example, the oxidation state of the noble metal accompanying the increase in the solid acid property of the substrate is improved. It can be speculated that the formation of an inlet-like site that can be a starting point of Rh solid solution on the substrate surface (alumina surface) is suppressed.
[0019]
Next, among the catalyst-supporting substrates of the present invention, those containing an alkaline earth metal element are represented by the following formula (2).
[Ti] a [Zr] b [α] c [Al] dOx ... (2)
(Where a is 0.01 ≦ a ≦ 0.2, b is 0.01 ≦ b ≦ 0.2, c is 0.01 ≦ c ≦ 0.2, and d is d = 2-ab- x is the number of oxygen that satisfies the stoichiometry, α is an alkaline earth metal element), and contains a heat-resistant inorganic composite oxide having a composition represented by the following formula: The line diffraction pattern is shown in Table B below.
[0020]
[Table 4]
[0021]
In the formula (2), the reason for limiting the atomic ratio of Ti and Zr is the same as in the case of the formula (1), and the atomic ratio of Ti or Zr to Al is 0.01 ≦ a ≦ 0.09, b Is more preferably 0.01 ≦ b ≦ 0.06. The same applies to the point that the whole composite oxide does not need to be a complete compound, but the oxygen atom ratio x of this composite oxide is usually 4.
Further, as is apparent from the equation (2), this composite oxide further contains an alkaline earth metal element. As described above, by containing the alkaline earth metal element, the heat resistance of alumina can be further improved. However, if the alkaline earth metal element is simply included in the base material, oxygen is easily given to the noble metal, which may adversely affect the catalytic performance of the noble metal. In this regard, in the present invention, since the base material surface is modified with Ti or Zr as described above, by including an alkaline earth metal, the heat resistance of the base material can be effectively improved, and In addition, the catalytic performance of the noble metal can be further improved.
In the present invention, any alkaline earth metal element can be used alone or in any combination, but magnesium is particularly preferably used.
[0022]
Further, as described above, the substrate for supporting a catalyst containing the alkaline earth metal element shows the X-ray diffraction pattern shown in Table B after the durability, and differs in the crystallite diameter.
Such a difference in crystallite diameter indicates that the sintering of the base material powder is further suppressed in the supporting base material, and that the supporting base material has better heat resistance.
[0023]
Next, a method for producing the substrate for supporting a catalyst of the present invention will be described.
As described above, according to the production method of the present invention, a water-soluble titanium salt and zirconium acetate are used in the composite oxide of the formula (1) depending on the type of the composite oxide of the formula (1) or (2) to be obtained. In the composite oxide of the formula (2), an alkaline earth metal salt is further used, which is contained in alumina in an aqueous phase, dried, and fired.
Here, the use of the water-soluble Ti salt is such that when titanium-isopropoxide or the like, which is a water-insoluble Ti salt, is used, rutile-type titania crystals grow, and the modification of the alumina surface is sufficiently performed. This is because it is considered that the dispersibility of the noble metal decreases due to the failure. In general, alumina, which is a high specific surface inorganic oxide base material, has a large number of hydroxyl groups on its surface and is easily compatible with aqueous solvents. This is because it is desirable to use a water-soluble Ti salt that has a high affinity for the surface and enables titanium to be highly dispersed on the surface.
[0024]
In addition, it is desirable to use an organic carboxylic acid ammonium salt as the water-soluble Ti salt.
If other water-soluble salts such as sulfates and chlorides are used, sulfur and chlorine may remain in the catalyst even after calcination, and these may deactivate precious metals as catalyst poisons. On the other hand, when ammonium oxalates are used, they are all oxidatively decomposed into carbon dioxide and water after calcination, so that no element that can be a catalyst poison remains in the catalyst, and the formula (1) or (2) is used. And the performance of the composite oxide having a predetermined X-ray diffraction pattern can be sufficiently utilized, and a reduction in the catalytic activity of the noble metal can be effectively suppressed.
[0025]
For the impregnation of the zirconium component, zirconium acetate is used for the same reason as described above, but is not particularly limited as long as the above-mentioned problems can be avoided.
Further, as the alkaline earth metal salt, for the same selection reason as in the case of the titanium salt, these acetates, carbonates, nitrates, hydroxides and the like can be preferably used, but are not particularly limited. .
[0026]
The alumina is not particularly limited as long as it has a high specific surface area, but it is preferable to use γ-alumina in order to effectively prevent the adverse effect of thermal deterioration due to the phase transition of alumina.
Since the surface area of alumina decreases due to such thermal deterioration, in order to suppress a decrease in the catalytic performance of the supported noble metal, a decrease in the surface area of alumina, that is, in order to suppress a decrease in the surface area of the supporting substrate, a high specific surface area This is because it is desirable to use γ-alumina.
[0027]
The impregnation method is not particularly limited as long as Ti and Zr can be supported on alumina, but it is desirable to co-impregnate them.
According to the co-impregnation, the loading ratio of each component is easily controlled, and the number of steps can be reduced, so that the working efficiency is improved. It is considered that the deterioration of the material is small.
[0028]
When the alkaline earth metal is supported, one or both of Ti and Zr and the alkaline earth metal can be supported, and then one or both of Ti and Zr can be supported. The alkaline earth metal can be supported, and then Ti can be supported.
[0029]
The calcination treatment is not particularly limited as long as the above-described desired composite oxide is obtained. Typically, the calcination treatment is performed at 900 to 1000 ° C in an air stream for 1 to 3 hours, preferably at 900 to 950 ° C. Baking by heating for 2 to 3 hours.
If the firing temperature is lower than 900 ° C., the structure described in the claims cannot be obtained. If the firing temperature is higher than 1000 ° C., α-alumina having a low specific surface area may be generated.
If the time is less than 1 hour, the structure shown in the claim cannot be obtained, and even if it is fired for more than 3 hours, a desired composite oxide can be obtained, but it is not economical.
[0030]
In the production method of the present invention, drying may be performed before the baking treatment, and the obtained dry powder may be pulverized and then subjected to a baking treatment, whereby the uniformity of the base powder can be improved. .
[0031]
Next, the catalyst of the present invention will be described.
The catalyst of the present invention uses the above-described catalyst-supporting substrate of the present invention, and comprises at least one type of the supporting substrate specified by Formula (1) and Tables A, (2) and Table B. The substrate is used, and a catalytically active component such as a noble metal is supported on the substrate.
The catalyst of the present invention exhibits an excellent effect of suppressing deterioration of a noble metal from the advantage that the supporting substrate has excellent thermal stability as described above, and is particularly effective in an environment where the catalyst is exposed to an oxidizing atmosphere. .
Although the use is not particularly limited, the catalyst supporting substrate of the present invention is exposed to a high temperature and an oxidizing atmosphere for a long time due to the effect of suppressing the deterioration of the noble metal due to the excellent thermal stability of FIG. Particularly excellent effects can be exhibited by using the catalyst as an exhaust gas purifying catalyst for an automobile or the like as shown in FIG. Further, similarly, as an environment exposed to an oxidizing atmosphere, it is used as an electrode catalyst on the air electrode side in a fuel cell as shown in FIG. 2 or a purification catalyst for reducing gas discharged from the fuel cell as shown in FIG. Can be.
[0032]
Examples of the noble metal which is an example of the catalytically active component include Pt, Rh or Pd and an arbitrary mixture thereof, and the catalyst of the present invention has a remarkable effect of improving the solid solution of Rh.
The catalyst of the present invention can be used as it is, or can be used after being formed into granules or pellets, but can also be used by being supported on a monolithic carrier.
Examples of such a monolithic carrier include a monolith carrier and a honeycomb carrier made of a heat-resistant material such as a ceramic such as cordierite or a metal such as ferritic stainless steel.
