Description

Detailed Description of the Invention

[0001]

The present invention relates to a relates to a method for removing the NO _x, particularly to a method for removing NO _x from the NO _x containing gas such as flue gas of the internal combustion engine.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, NO _x treatment technology has been put to practical use as, for example, flue gas denitration technology. This flue gas denitration method is roughly classified into a dry method and a wet method, and the most advanced of these is the selective catalytic reduction method, which is a type of dry method. This main reaction is shown below.

4NO + 4NH ₄ + O ₂ → 6H ₂ O + 4N ₂ This reaction uses ammonia as a reducing agent as a reducing agent, and even if oxygen coexists, it selectively reacts with NO _x , so exhaust gas of a diesel engine, etc. Used to process. In this case, as a catalyst, a precious metal such as Pt or Al ₂ O ₃ ,
Various metal oxides supported on TiO ₂ or the like are used. Since the selective catalytic reduction method can treat NO _x with a simple system, a high denitration rate can be obtained. Moreover, NO _x
Since it can be decomposed into harmless N ₂ and H ₂ O, there is an advantage that waste liquid treatment becomes unnecessary.

However, in this method, since harmful and dangerous ammonia gas is used, it is necessary to handle it with caution, and the reduction catalyst is deteriorated by components other than NO _x in the exhaust gas, so catalyst replacement is required. Is required, which is economically disadvantageous especially when an expensive precious metal-based catalyst is used.

Further, at high temperatures, there arises inconveniences such as progress of sintering of the catalyst components, and at low temperatures ammonia reacts with water or SO _x , so that salts such as ammonium sulfate are formed on the catalyst surface and the denitration rate decreases. To do. Therefore, the operating temperature range is limited to 320 to 450 ° C.

As described above, since there are many problems in the method using ammonia, other denitration methods are currently being researched, and the direct decomposition method has been attracting attention.

This direct decomposition method is the most ideal method for removing NO _x , and in recent years, catalysts such as Cu-ZSM-5 zeolite and perovskite type complex compounds have been found.

[0008]

[0008] However, the denitration rate even the most highly active Cu-ZSM-5 as the catalyst, the catalyst performance is deteriorated by SO _x or of H ₂ O in the exhaust gas in the direct decomposition method Is decreased, and it is very difficult to obtain a high denitration rate over a long period of time.

The present invention has been made under the above background, and an object thereof is to provide a denitration method and a denitration agent which have a high denitration rate and can maintain the high denitration rate for a long period of time.

[0010]

Means and Actions for Solving the Problems In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides an X-type zeolite containing Na, Na.
Nickel supported on one or more zeolites selected from the group consisting of Y-type zeolites containing, mordenite containing Na, and A-type zeolites containing at least one of (K, Na, Ca). In the processing vessel containing the denitration agent obtained, N
O _x containing gas is the flow and performing denitration.

There is also provided a denitration agent obtained by supporting nickel on zeolite. Furthermore, after immersing the zeolite in the nickel salt solution,
There is also provided a method for producing a denitration agent, which comprises drying the zeolite to support nickel.

[0012] As described above, by flowing the NO _x nickel as a catalyst active component in the presence of component and partially supported by ion exchange is allowed to denitrating agent obtained by hydrocarbons in the zeolite, the nitrogen oxides Can be decomposed.

The present invention will be described in more detail below. First, as the supporting base material zeolite, NaY type zeolite, Na type mordenite, A type zeolite, X
Type zeolite and the like, and any of these zeolites can provide good denitration action. In the present specification, the above various zeolites are collectively referred to as zeolite.

Since the denitration efficiency increases with the contact area between NO _x and the denitration agent, it is desirable that the denitration agent has a large surface area, preferably a honeycomb structure.

[0015] This structure of the zeolite is not particularly limited, it is preferable that the contact area is large structure of the NO _x containing gas, NO _x containing gases by a honeycomb structure as described above and zeolite The area of contact with the can be widened, and the denitration rate can be increased.

Further, when the denitration agent is formed into a honeycomb shape, mechanical strength becomes a problem, and it is preferable to add 20 to 50% by weight of a structural reinforcing material to zeolite.

This is because if the compounding amount of the structural reinforcing material is 20 wt% or less, the mechanical strength of the honeycomb body may be lowered and it may not be practically usable, and if the structural reinforcing material is 50 wt% or more, zeolite may be used. This is because the active points that perform the denitration action inevitably decrease, and the denitration rate required for practical use may not be obtained.

As described above, it is preferable that the zeolite formed into a honeycomb body and fired is previously held in a drying oven or in a vacuum to remove water in the zeolite.

Next, nickel is supported on this zeolite. There are various methods for supporting nickel, but preferably the zeolite is immersed in a nickel salt solution having a predetermined concentration, and after confirmation that the nickel salt is sufficiently diffused in the pores of the zeolite, it is as it is. Nickel is supported by evaporating the nickel salt solution or pulling up the immersed zeolite and taking it out from the aqueous solution, and then removing the water contained in the zeolite.

It is considered that nickel is carried by entering into the zeolite pores by diffusion and being partially ion-exchanged, and therefore, when the zeolite is immersed in the nickel salt solution, the immersion time depends on the zeolite fineness. As long as the nickel salt can diffuse sufficiently into the pores,
It is preferably about 12 hours.

At this time, if the diffusion of the nickel salt is sufficient, it is possible to shorten the impregnation time, and even if the impregnation time is set to 12 hours or longer, there is no deterioration of the zeolite, etc.
There is no problem even if the impregnation time is 12 hours or more.

The nickel salt solution is not particularly limited as long as it can sufficiently perform the ion exchange.
Preferred are nickel nitrate, nickel sulfate, and nickel chloride solutions, and other nickel salt solutions may be used.

[0023] Next, the denitration by circulating NO _x containing gas in the presence of hydrocarbons in the nickel-supported zeolite. At this time, as the hydrocarbon, for example, fuel oil such as heavy oil, light oil, kerosene can be used.

As a method of providing the hydrocarbon, for example, a method of spraying the hydrocarbon when the NO _x containing gas is passed through the nickel-supported zeolite can be mentioned.

The coexistence of hydrocarbon as described above can remarkably enhance the denitration effect.

For example, the partially ion-exchanged nickel-supported zeolite honeycomb obtained by the above method is used as a denitration agent to pass a sample gas of NO (1000 PPM) + N ₂ and an SV value (space velocity) of 2000 / h. When the denitration rate was measured under the conditions, a denitration rate of 30% was obtained.

However, when the denitration rate was similarly measured using the exhaust gas of an actual engine using a diesel engine, almost no denitration was performed. This is SOx in the actual exhaust gas,
This is because soot, H ₂ O, etc. are catalyst poisons. Therefore, when a small amount of hydrocarbons (fuel oil, kerosene, fuel oil such as A heavy oil) was added to the exhaust gas and an experiment was conducted again, a denitration rate of 90% or more was obtained. Even after conducting a field test for 1000 hours, no decrease in the denitration rate was observed, and it was found that the denitration agent was stable. This is considered to be due to the following reasons.

SO _x gas (sulfur oxide), which becomes a catalyst poison, coats the surface of zeolite or reacts with nickel which is a catalytically active metal to reduce the activity of the catalyst. However, when hydrocarbons (light oil, kerosene, heavy oil A, etc.) are added to the exhaust gas, SO _x gas reacts preferentially with hydrocarbons, so SO _x gas does not naturally cover the zeolite surface and the active metal No longer reacts with nickel. Therefore, deterioration of the catalytic action can be suppressed.

Further, hydrocarbons have an exhaust gas temperature (400 ° C.).
Since the soot contained in the exhaust gas is also burned at a temperature of up to 450 ° C., catalyst poisoning due to soot is avoided and the catalyst life is greatly extended. Therefore, as a hydrocarbon,
It is preferable that the ignition point be equal to or lower than the temperature at the time of denitration.

In general, when zeolite is used as a denitration carrier, the SO _x resistance of zeolite becomes a problem,
High SO _x resistance is required.

The higher the SO ₂ / Al ₂ O ₃ ratio is, the more excellent the SO _x resistance is. The above ZSM-5 and mordenide type zeolites have the following ZSM-5.
Has the highest SO _x resistance.

ZSM-5> mordenide type> Y type> A type> X type Therefore, ZSM-5 is usually used as a zeolite for a denitration carrier.
It is preferable to use -5.

However, as described above, in the present invention, denitration is performed in the presence of hydrocarbons to prevent poisoning of the catalyst by SO _x . Therefore, the zeolite to be used is not particularly limited, and for example, the above-mentioned mordenide type, Y type, A type,
Various natural or synthetic zeolites such as X-type or the like can be used.

[0034]

EXAMPLE In this example, nickel nitrate, nickel sulfate, and nickel chloride were used to carry out ion exchange of nickel with a part of the components of the zeolite to support it on the zeolite, and this nickel-supported zeolite was used as a denitration agent for carbonization. NO _x was decomposed in the presence of hydrogen. At this time, the NO _x concentration was measured using the denitration device shown in FIG.

In FIG. 5, 1 is a diesel generator, 2
Is a denitration catalyst tank, and the exhaust gas discharged from the diesel generator 1 flows into the lower portion of the denitration catalyst tank 2 through the ventilation pipe 7. This exhaust gas flows through the denitration catalyst tank 2 in which the nickel-supported zeolite 12 is stored and is treated with NO _x to become a treated gas. This processing gas is configured to flow out through a ventilation pipe 9 provided above the ventilation pipe 7 of the denitration catalyst tank 2.

Further, a hydrocarbon spray pipe 8 having a hydrocarbon spray port 5 is provided at the exhaust gas inflow portion of the denitration catalyst tank 2, and hydrocarbons are introduced into the denitration catalyst tank 2 through the hydrocarbon spray pipe 8. It is configured to be ejected.

Furthermore, in the above air pipe 7 is provided with a concentration of NO _x measurement port 3, a part of the exhaust gas through the exhaust gas sampling pipe 10 provided in the concentration of NO _x measurement port 3 NO
_{The x} concentration analyzer 6 is configured to measure the NO _x concentration.

[0038] Similarly, in the above vent pipe 9 is provided with a concentration of NO _x measurement port 4, a portion of the process gas through the process gas extraction tube 11 provided in the concentration of NO _x measurement port 4 N
In O _x concentration analyzer 6 has a configuration for measuring the concentration of NO _x. Using this device, denitration of exhaust gas from a diesel generator was performed under various conditions. The results are shown below.

In each of the examples, the exhaust gas temperature was in the range of 400 to 450 ° C., the average NO _x concentration was about 900 ppm, the average SO _x concentration was about 150 ppm, the average oxygen concentration was 13%, and the average oxygen concentration was 13%. H ₂ O volume is about 7 vol%, average SV
The value (space velocity) was 2000 / h. Also, as the NO _x concentration analyzer, CLM manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation
With 100, decomposition rate of NO _x (denitration rate), the concentration of NO _x in the exhaust gas alpha, the concentration of NO _x process gas was calculated by the following equation as a beta.

Denitration rate = (α-β) / α Further, the shape of the structure-reinforcing material-containing zeolite used as the denitration agent is not particularly limited, but a shape having a large contact area with the NO _x -containing gas is preferable, and the present Example The honeycomb body was used.

Example 1 (Denitration method using a denitration agent having nickel nitrate as a supported catalyst) 1-1: First, NaY type zeolite (320 NAA manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) was used as a carrier zeolite, and 30 wt% of a structural reinforcing material was used. %, The honeycomb formed body having a hole number of 16 × 16/65 mm square was fired.

In order to support nickel on this honeycomb body, nickel nitrate was used to prepare an aqueous solution of 0.1 mol / l, and each honeycomb molded body was dipped in this aqueous solution and left as it was for 12 hours. Was impregnated with nickel.

Then, each zeolite was taken out of the aqueous solution and dried at 150 ° C. for 5 hours to obtain a denitration agent.
A plurality of this denitration agent was installed in the denitration catalyst tank of FIG. 5 to measure the denitration rate. At this time, light oil was used as the hydrocarbon sprayed at the time of denitration. The amount of sprayed light oil is about 2000 pp, and the average NO concentration in exhaust gas is 900 pp.
The spray amount was adjusted so that the gas oil concentration was the same as m.

FIG. 1 shows the correlation between the elapsed time and the denitration rate in the above measuring method. As shown in this figure, in the above measurement, almost no change in the denitration rate with time was observed.
Even after the lapse of time, the denitration rate is maintained at 90% or more.

Next, the denitration rate was measured for each of the cases where kerosene and heavy fuel oil A were sprayed during denitration in the above measuring method.

In each of the denitration methods using light oil, kerosene, and heavy oil A as a comparative example, denitration was performed by using NaY-type zeolite not supporting nickel as it was as a denitration agent, and the denitration rate was measured. Furthermore, in each of the above denitration methods, denitration was performed without spraying hydrocarbons, and the denitration rate was measured.

Table 1 shows the denitration rate after 1000 hours in each of the above denitration methods.

[0048]

[Table 1]

As is clear from this table, when hydrocarbons are sprayed using a denitration agent carrying nickel,
9 for any hydrocarbon species after 1000 hours
A denitration rate of 0% or more was maintained, and a very good denitration rate was obtained. When the hydrocarbons are not sprayed, the denitrification rate is 0% regardless of the type of denitrification agent. Even when the hydrocarbons are sprayed, the denitrification agent that does not support nickel is 5%. Only about 10%, a very low denitration rate was obtained as compared with the denitration agent supporting nickel.

Therefore, excellent denitration performance can be obtained by injecting hydrocarbons such as light oil, kerosene, heavy oil A and the like at the time of denitration and using nickel nitrate-supported zeolite with nickel nitrate as a supported catalyst as a denitration agent. I understand.

In order to support nickel on this honeycomb body, a 0.1 mol / l aqueous solution of nickel chloride was prepared, and the honeycomb formed body was dipped in this aqueous solution for 12 hours to impregnate the zeolite with nickel.

Then, the zeolite was taken out of the aqueous solution and dried at 150 ° C. for 5 hours to obtain a denitration agent. A plurality of this denitration agent was installed in the denitration catalyst tank of FIG. 5, and the denitration rate was measured under the condition of SV value 2000. At this time, light oil was used as the hydrocarbon sprayed at the time of denitration. FIG. 2 shows the correlation between the elapsed time and the denitration rate in the above measurement method.
Shown in. As shown in this figure, in the above measurement, the denitration rate hardly changed with time, and the denitration rate remained at 90% or more even after 1000 hours.

Furthermore, in each of the above denitration methods, denitration was performed without spraying hydrocarbons, and the denitration rate was measured.

Table 5 shows the denitration rate after 1000 hours in each of the above denitration methods.

[0064]

[Table 5]

As is clear from this table, when hydrocarbons are sprayed using a denitration agent carrying nickel,
A denitration rate of 90% or more was maintained after 1000 hours for all hydrocarbon species, and a very good denitration rate was obtained. When the hydrocarbons are not sprayed, the denitrification rate is 0% regardless of the type of denitrification agent. Even when the hydrocarbons are sprayed, the denitrification agent that does not support nickel is 5%. Only about 10%, a very low denitration rate was obtained as compared with the denitration agent supporting nickel.

Therefore, excellent denitration performance can be obtained by injecting hydrocarbons such as light oil, kerosene, heavy oil A, etc. at the time of denitration and using a zeolite on which nickel is supported by using nickel chloride as a supported catalyst as a denitration agent. I understand.

As is clear from this table, when hydrocarbons are sprayed using a denitration agent carrying nickel,
A denitration rate of 90% or more was maintained after 1000 hours for all hydrocarbon species, and a very good denitration rate was obtained. When the hydrocarbons are not sprayed, the denitrification rate is 0% regardless of the type of denitrification agent. Even when the hydrocarbons are sprayed, the denitrification agent that does not support nickel is 5%. Only about 10%, a very low denitration rate was obtained as compared with the denitration agent supporting nickel.

[Table 12]

From this table, it can be seen that even if a denitration agent in which nickel is supported on A-type zeolite is used, a high denitration rate can be obtained by spraying hydrocarbons at the time of denitration as in 3-1. Example 4 (Denitration method using a denitration agent having nickel acetate as a supported catalyst) 4-1: First, NaY-type zeolite (320 NAA manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) was used as a carrier zeolite, and a structural reinforcing material was contained at 30 wt%. A honeycomb formed body having a hole number of 16 × 16/65 mm square was fired.

In order to support nickel on this honeycomb body, a 0.1 mol / l aqueous solution of nickel acetate was prepared, and the honeycomb formed body was immersed in this aqueous solution for 12 hours to impregnate the zeolite with nickel.

Then, the zeolite was taken out of the aqueous solution and dried at 150 ° C. for 5 hours to obtain a denitration agent. A plurality of this denitration agent was installed in the denitration catalyst tank of FIG. 5, and the denitration rate was measured under the condition of SV value 2000. At this time, light oil was used as the hydrocarbon sprayed at the time of denitration. FIG. 4 shows the correlation between the elapsed time and the denitration rate in the above measuring method.

As comparative examples, the above diesel oil, kerosene, A
In each denitration method using heavy oil, denitration was performed using NaY type zeolite that does not support nickel as it is as a denitration agent, and the denitration rate was measured. Furthermore, in each of the above denitration methods, denitration was performed without spraying hydrocarbons, and the denitration rate was measured.

Table 13 shows the denitration rate after 1000 hours in each of the above denitration methods.

[0096]

[Table 13]

As is clear from this table, when hydrocarbons are sprayed using a denitration agent carrying nickel,
A denitration rate of 90% or more was maintained after 1000 hours for all hydrocarbon species, and a very good denitration rate was obtained. When the hydrocarbons are not sprayed, the denitrification rate is 0% regardless of the type of denitrification agent. Even when the hydrocarbons are sprayed, the denitrification agent that does not support nickel is 5%. Only about 10%, a very low denitration rate was obtained as compared with the denitration agent supporting nickel.

Therefore, when dehydrogenating, when hydrocarbons such as light oil, kerosene, and heavy oil A are injected, and nickel supported by using nickel acetate as a supported catalyst is used as a denitration agent, excellent denitration performance can be obtained. I understand.

4-2: Na-type mordenite (manufactured by Tosoh Corp., 6
10NAA) was used, and the denitration rate was measured in the same manner as in 4-1. The results are shown in Table 14.

[0100]

The denitration rate was measured in the same manner as in -1. The results are shown in Table 15.
Shown in.

[0102]

[Table 15]

From this table, it can be seen that even when a denitration agent in which nickel is supported on X-type zeolite is used, a high denitration rate can be obtained by spraying hydrocarbons at the time of denitration as in 4-1.

4-4: The type A zeolite (A-5, manufactured by Tosoh Corporation) was used in place of the NaY type zeolite used in 4-1 and the denitration rate was measured in the same manner as in 4-1. The results are shown in Table 16.

[0105]

[Table 16]

From this table, it can be seen that even if a denitration agent in which nickel is supported on A-type zeolite is used, a high denitration rate can be obtained by spraying hydrocarbons at the time of denitration as in 4-1.

As described above, when carrying out denitration by supporting nickel on zeolite, it is necessary to spray hydrocarbons at the time of denitration in order to obtain a high denitration rate.

Further, it is shown that the zeolite species used at this time, the nickel salt species used for supporting nickel, and the hydrocarbon species used during denitration have almost no effect on the denitration rate.

[0109]

In the present invention, in the presence of hydrocarbons, it is performed denitration by circulating the NO _x containing gas into zeolite supporting nickel.

Therefore, by supporting nickel, the denitrification capacity of the zeolite is enhanced, and the coexistence of hydrocarbons suppresses the catalyst deterioration due to SO _x in the exhaust gas, so that the catalyst life is greatly improved. In addition, it is also possible to use A-type, X-type, etc. zeolite, which has a large catalyst deterioration due to SO _x .

Further, since the soot in the exhaust gas is burned by the hydrocarbons, the clogging of the zeolite due to the soot is suppressed and a very high denitration rate can be obtained.

In particular, when denitration of the exhaust gas of a diesel engine is performed, light oil or the like is used as the hydrocarbon, and this can be sprayed to denitrate, and therefore a special hydrocarbon storage tank or cylinder is required. Therefore, denitration can be performed compactly and economically.
