Abstract
The invention concerns a zinc aluminate characterised in that it has, after calcination at 800°C for 8 hours, a specific surface area of at least 85m2/g. The invention also concerns a precursor composition of said aluminate. The method for preparing the aluminate and the composition comprises the following steps:contacting in a solvent medium a salt, a zinc sol or alkoxide and an aluminium alkoxide;hydrolyzing the resulting mixture by adding an amount of water in excess relative to the aluminium alkoxide;recuperating the formed precipitate and optionally drying it, thereby obtaining the precursor composition;if required, calcining said precipitate, thereby obtaining the aluminate. Finally, the invention concerns the use of aluminate for treating motor vehicle exhaust gases.
Description
YOUR PROCESS OF PREPARATION AND ITS USE IN THE TREATMENT OF GASES
OF ESCAPE OF AUTOMOTIVE VEHICLES
The present invention comprises a zinc aluminate with a high specific surface area, a precursor composition thereof, an aluminate preparation process and its composition, as well as the use of aluminate in the treatment of gases, specifically exhaust gases of motor vehicles. It is known that the reduction of emissions of nitrogen oxides
(NOx) derived from the exhaust gases of the engines of vehicles or industrial plants represents a serious problem of environmental protection. In the case of automotive vehicles, the "three-way" catalysts are used in particular, which are used stoichiometrically in the reduction of gases present in the mixture. However, any excess gas is reflected in a sudden deterioration of the catalyst. However, some engines, such as the diesel engine or oil engines that operate in a low combustion mode, save fuel, but emit exhaust gases with a large constant amount of oxygen, for example 5% minimum. Therefore, a standard three-way catalyst does not represent a big help in terms of NOx emissions from this type of engine. In addition, the adjustment of the standards in relation to the subsequent combustion of motor vehicles, which currently cover other types of engines, makes it absolutely necessary to limit NOx emissions. For these motors, spiraled catalysts based on aluminum and zinc were proposed. However, these catalysts must be refined since they do not have high specific surface areas at a high temperature. At this time, one aspect of catalyst performance that is likely to be improved is surface stability, i.e. having the ability to maintain a high surface area at an elevated temperature. Accordingly, there is a need for a spiked catalyst with a high specific surface area. At this point, the zinc aluminate of the invention is characterized by having a specific surface area of at least 85 m2 / g. after calcining at 800 ° C for a period of eight hours. Likewise, the invention deals with a zinc aluminate precursor composition, whose composition is characterized by having zinc and aluminum components, as well as by the ability to form, after being calcined, a zinc aluminate with a surface area of specific zinc. at least 85 m2 / g, after calcining 8 hours at 800 ° C. Another point of this invention is a process for the preparation of an aluminate or a composition as described above, which is characterized by being integrated by the following steps: a zinc salt and an aluminum alkoxide are united in a solvent medium; - the mixture thus formed is hydrolyzed by adding a greater amount of water to the aluminum alkoxide; - the formed precipitate is recovered and optionally dried, thus obtaining the precursor composition; - if necessary, said precipitate is calcined, thus obtaining aluminate. Other characteristics, details and benefits of the invention will be more evident after reading the following description and the different specific examples, but not exhaustive. The aluminate of the invention is a zinc aluminate having a spire-like structure, ZnAl204. It is possible that it is in the form of one or more zinc depleted or rich phases in zinc relative to Zn? L204. These phases comply with the formula Zn? -xAl2? 4-5 and Zn? + XAl204 + 5, where 0 < x 0.95. The values of x can more specifically satisfy the following ratios: 0 < x 0.85, 0 < x 0.8 and even more specifically 0 < x o.5. Finally, x can meet the ratio 0.4 x 0.85. In addition, aluminate may contain one or more additives that may be one of the elements of Groups IA, IIA, VIIA to IB of the Periodic Table, as well as tin, gallium and rare earths. The Periodic Table of the Elements referred to is the one published in Supplement to the Bulletin of the Société Chimique de France (Supplement to the Bulletin of the Chemical Society of France) No. 1 (January 1966). Likewise, the term "rare earths" shall be understood as the group of elements formed by yttrium and the elements of the Periodic Table with an atomic number between 57 and 71, inclusive. Within the VIIA Group, more direct reference is made to manganese; from Group VIII, to iron; of the IB Group, copper and silver. It is possible to find these additives especially in aluminate as a partial substitution of zinc or aluminum. A characteristic of the aluminate of this invention is its specific surface area. The term "specific surface area" shall be understood, for purposes of this document, as the BET specific surface area determined by the absorption of nitrogen in accordance with ASTM D 3663-78 stipulated in the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller method described. in the publication "The Journal of the American Chemical Society, 60, 309 (1938)". Even after being calcined at a high temperature, the aluminate of this invention still has a high surface area value. Thus, after calcining the aluminate at 800 ° C for eight hours, a specific surface area of at least 85 m2 / g is obtained. Also, it can be obtained from at least 90 m2 / gr. and more specifically of at least 100 m2 / g., even after having been calcined at 800 ° C for 8 hours. It is possible to obtain values of at least 120 m2 / gr. The high values of this surface area are maintained even at higher temperatures because the aluminate of this invention can have, after having been calcined two hours at 900 ° C, a specific surface area of at least 70 m2 / gr. and more specifically of at least 80 m2 / gr. In addition, after calcination at a temperature of 1000 ° C for six hours, specific surface areas of at least 50 m2 / g can be obtained. , more in particular of at least 70 m2 / gr. Which means that the stability of the aluminate surface area is maintained within a wide range of temperature. The values that have just been provided reach the calcination in the air. Also, it can be seen that the aluminate of this invention has a high resistance to thermal relaxation. The above means that, under particular conditions of calcination, its specific surface area varies a little. Then, after the six-hour calcination process at 1000 ° C in a H20 / N medium with 10% H20 by volume, the surface area remains essentially the same as that obtained after calcination in air at the same temperature and during the same time, that is to say at least 50 m2 / gr. The same results of the calcination are obtained in a medium of 02 / H20 / N2 with 10% of H20 and 10% of 02 by volume. Also, the aluminate of this invention may have a pore volume of at least 0.6 ml / g; This porosity is determined by the intrusion porosimetry of mercury. The measurements were taken using a Auto Pore 9220 Micromeritic machine on powders degassed overnight in an oven at a temperature of 200 ° C. The operating parameters are the following: penetrometer constant: 21.63, capillary volume: 1.1, contact angle: 140 °. It is possible that the porosity is more specifically at least 2 ml / gr. and it can be, for example, between 2.5 and 3.5 ml / gr. Another point of the invention is an aluminate precursor composition, such as that described above. This composition consists of zinc and aluminum compounds and, if necessary, of the above-mentioned additive compounds. The main characteristic of the precursor composition is its ability to produce a zinc aluminate, after calcination. The above calcination temperature that the aluminate causes is about 500 ° C. Also, the aluminate obtained in this way possesses the aforementioned characteristics, that is, if the aluminate is calcined at a temperature of 800 ° C for eight hours, it maintains a high specific surface area of at least 85 m2 / g., more specifically of at least 90 m2 / gr. and even more specifically of at least 100 m2 / gr. Of course, all above-mentioned surface area values in relation to aluminate at temperatures of 800 ° C and 900 ° C are also applied here. Next, the process for the preparation of the aluminate and its precursor composition will be described. The first step in this process is to incorporate salt, sol or zinc alkoxide together with an aluminum alkoxide in a solvent medium, at the discretion of adding salt, sol or alkoxide of at least one of the aforementioned additives. The zinc or alkoxide salt, as well as the salt or alkoxide of the additive, must be soluble in the solvent medium. For example, the zinc or additive salt is an inorganic salt, such as nitrate or chloride, or any other organic salt, such as citrate, oxalate or acetate. The aluminum alkoxide may be an ethoxide, butoxide, isopropoxide, among others. The solvent medium is chosen from any medium in which the zinc or alkoxide salt and the aluminum alkoxide are soluble. In general, an alcohol solvent is used. Among the alcohol solvents, reference can be made to saturated monoalcoholics and more particularly to those with a short chain (eg, at most Ca), such as methanol, ethanol, propanol and butanol. It is also possible to use unsaturated alcohols and polyalcohols, such as ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, hexylene glycol, propanediol and butanediol. Also, ketona can be used. The reactants can be incorporated in the solvent medium in any way. However, according to a specific inclusion of the invention, the zinc salt and the aluminum alkoxide are combined when the zinc salt in the solvent medium is added to the aluminum alkoxide, which constitutes a stock, that is to say beforehand dissolved in this medium. In this part it will be noted that, according to another version of the invention, it is possible to heat the mixture obtained in this way. What facilitates the dissolution of the salts and continue with the next step that can be better controlled: hydrolysis and precipitation.
The second step of the process of the invention is the hydrolysis of the mixture obtained in the previous step. Said hydrolysis is carried out when water is added to the mixture. According to a characteristic of the process of the invention, the hydrolysis is carried out using a quantity of water greater than that of the aluminum alkoxide. Said amount is determined by the molar ratio between H20 and the aluminum alkoxide. In general, this index can be at least 6, more specifically at least 10 and still more specific at least 20. However, in the case of the preparation of a zinc depleted aluminate, this index can be less. Specifically, in the case of the preparation of an aluminate with a Zn / Al index of less than 0.4, the molar ratio of H20 (aluminum alkoxide can be at least 3, more specifically at least 4. It is not necessary that the water is in its natural state, it can be found in a mixture of water and alcohol, as long as the latter is one of those already mentioned in relation to the solvent medium, it is possible to refer more specifically to ethanol. A precipitate of elements is formed The precipitate obtained is separated from the reaction mixture by any known means, in particular by centrifugation.
If necessary, the precipitate can be washed. It is optional to dry it or not. In this step, the precursor composition of the invention is obtained. The aluminate is prepared by calcining the precipitate (precursor composition) at a temperature of at least 500 ° C. It is possible to resort to other processes for the preparation of an aluminate or a precursor according to the invention as long as this aluminate or precursor contains an additive of the type already mentioned. In this process the additive is not added during the synthesis of the aluminate but by impregnation, either of the precursor composition, for example the dry precipitate, or the aluminate itself, ie the calcined precipitate. Said impregnation is carried out using a salt solution of one of the aforementioned additives in the example. Dry impregmentation is much more used, which consists in adding to the product to be impregnated a volume of aqueous solution of the element equal to the volume of pores of the solid to be impregnated. In addition, the invention includes a process for the treatment of exhaust gases of automotive vehicles, in which a catalyst system uses an aluminate as described above.
The invention also comprises a process in which a catalyst system uses the same aluminate as is used in the treatment of gases possibly containing nitrogen oxides, in order to reduce the emissions of such nitrogen oxides. In this case, the gases that can be treated are those that give off the gas turbines, the boilers of thermal power stations, the internal combustion engines, in particular the diesel or low combustion engines, among others. Therefore, the aluminate of the invention is applied to the treatment of gases with a high content of oxygen and nitrogen oxides. The phrase "gases with a high oxygen content" should be understood as gases with a higher amount of oxygen compared to the amount necessary for stoichiometric combustion and, in particular, gases that permanently have a greater amount of oxygen in relation to the stoichiometric value? = 1. The value? it is correlated with the air and fuel index in a manner known per se, especially as regards internal combustion engines. That is to say, the aluminate of the invention is used in the treatment of gases derived from systems such as those described in the previous paragraph and that operate in a constant manner under conditions such that always? is strictly greater than 1. In the case of gases with a high oxygen content, the aluminate of the invention is then used both in the treatment of gases discharged by a motor that operates in low combustion and with a high content of oxygen ( expressed in volume) of between 2.5 and 5%, in general, as in the treatment of gases with a much higher oxygen content, for example the gases fired by diesel engines, that is to say with a content greater than at least 5%, in particular 10%, the margin being of content between 5 and 20%. The gases contain a reducing active that can be one or more hydrocarbons and one of the reactions that is sought to catalyze; in this case it is the HC (hydrocarbons) NOx reaction. The hydrocarbons that can act as reducing agents in the elimination of NOx are in particular the gases or liquids of the families of saturated carbides, ethylenic carbides, acetylenic carbides, aromatic carbides and oil-cut hydrocarbons such as methane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, hexane, ethylene, propylene, acetylene, butadiene, benzene, toluene, xylene, kerosene and gas oil. Also, gases, as reducing agents, can contain organic compounds with oxygen. Basically, such compounds can be alcohols, for example saturated alcohols (methanol, ethanol or propanol), ethers (such as methyl ether, ethyl ether) and esters (methyl acetate and ketones). Similarly, gases may contain ammonia as a reducing agent. As regards the treatment of gases, aluminate can be used in catalytic compositions of different forms, such as granules, beads, cylinders or hives with varying dimensions, it being possible for these compositions to contain the aluminate of the invention on any basis that is generally applied in the field of catalysis, such as Zr02, A1203, Ti02, Ce02, Si02 or the mixture of some of these. The invention more specifically introduces a catalytic system for the aforementioned gas treatment. The main characteristic of this system is that it has an aluminate on a substrate. In general, such a system contains a thin coating incorporating the aluminate and a support as mentioned above. The first is deposited on a substrate, either metal or ceramic monolith. The systems are installed in the known way in the exhaust pipes of the vehicles when it comes to the treatment of exhaust gases. Finally, the invention also encompasses the use of an aluminate or a precursor composition, such as those mentioned above, for the manufacture of said catalyst system. Here are some examples.
