Definitions
- the present invention belongs to the field of catalysts, particularly that of bimetallic catalysts, useful in the purification of natural waters by means of catalytic elimination of nitrates and nitrites that are present.
- Nitrates are stable ions highly soluble in water, which can be eliminated by physical/chemical treatments such as ion exchange, reverse osmosis and electrodialysis. Nevertheless, these techniques end up by generating a concentrated solution of these ions and it is therefore necessary to employ other techniques that are more respectful of the environment [A, Kapoor and T. Viraraghavan, J., Environ. Eng., 123 (4), 371 (1997)].
- the present invention aims to overcome the drawbacks of conventional treatments of waters containing nitrates by means of a catalyst for the reduction of nitrates in waters in which it has been surprisingly seen that a support with an Mg/Al structure and especially with a hydrotalcite structure in the formulation of the overall catalyst produces a catalyst that is very active, selective and stable.
- the present invention refers to a bimetallic catalyst for the treatment of waters containing nitrates, which comprises a support and at least one noble metal and at least one non-noble metal, characterized in that the support, in elemental and anhydrous form, has a composition corresponding to the formula:
- X is at least one noble metal, preferably selected among Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir and Rh;
- Y is at least one non-noble metal, preferably selected among Cu, Sn, Zn, In, Ni, Ag, Fe or Co,
- Mg is magnesium
- Al is aluminium.
- Mg and Al preferably form a hydrotalcite structure.
- the metals can have been incorporated into the hydrotalcite structure by impregnation or during the synthesis stage of the hydrotalcite.
- non-noble metal or metals can have been incorporated into the hydrotalcite structure during the synthesis stage of the hydrotalcite, in which case the noble metal or metals have been incorporated by impregnation in a stage subsequent to the synthesis stage.
- Mg and Al are present in the form of aluminium and magnesium oxides obtained from a precursor of hydrotalcite by calcination in air at temperatures between 350 and 800° C., for a period of between 1 and 20 hours.
- at least one noble metal and at least one non-noble metal can have been incorporated into the structure of the hydrotalcite precursor during the synthesis stage of the hydrotalcite.
- the non-noble metal or metals have been incorporated into the structure of the precursor during the synthesis stage of the hydrotalcite in order to form oxides of Mg/Al/non-noble metal, in which case the noble metal or metals have been incorporated by impregnation in a stage subsequent to the synthesis stage.
- the catalyst of the present invention is useful for water treatment processes wherein the nitrates are eliminated in the liquid phase, and which consist of reducing the nitrates to nitrogen using a reducing agent, such as might be for example hydrogen, formic acid, hydrocarbons and combinations thereof.
- a reducing agent such as might be for example hydrogen, formic acid, hydrocarbons and combinations thereof.
- the hydrotalcite consists of a laminar structure that can be considered to derive from that of brucite, Mg(OH) 2 , wherein some of the magnesium atoms octahedrally coordinated by OH groups and which form an infinite two-dimensional lamina, have been replaced with trivalent metals (in this case, Al 3+ ), thereby generating an excess of positive charge in the lamina which has to be compensated with anions (normally, CO 3 2 ⁇ ) which are located in the interlaminar space.
- the laminas are stacked one on top of another, giving rise to a laminar structure for these compounds.
- Hydrotalcite can be prepared by, for example, co-precipitation of a solution containing the appropriate metals in the form of soluble salts, preferably aluminium nitrates and magnesium nitrate, with an alkaline solution formed by a mixture of hydroxides and alkaline carbonates, preferably NaOH and Na 2 CO 3 , in sufficient concentration for achieving total precipitation of the metals of the first solution.
- the products are filtered and washed until the filtrate has a pH between 6.8 and 7.5. Finally, the product is calcined at a temperature above 300° C.
- the noble metal preferably Pd, Pt, Ru, Ir or Rh, and the non-noble metal, preferably Cu, Sn, Zn, In, Ni, Fe, Ag or Co, are impregnated on a hydrotalcite base. These metals are incorporated by impregnation at a temperature between 10 and 100° C., and preferably between 15 and 80 ° C., on the hydrotalcite starting from an aqueous solution of a soluble salt which, when calcined, produces the corresponding oxide on the hydrotalcite.
- the percentage of noble metal oxide with respect to the mixture obtained is between 0.1 and 30% by weight, preferably between 0.5 and 15% by weight.
- the preferred percentage of non-noble metal lies in the range 0.05% to 10% by weight.
- One or two metals can also be incorporated into the hydrotalcite by adding a soluble salt of the metal to the solution that contained the Mg and Al salts during the synthesis stage.
- concentrations are adjusted in order to obtain the desired proportions of metals in the final catalyst.
- a copper compound such as for example copper nitrate
- the necessary amount of a copper compound is added to the solution of aluminium nitrate and magnesium nitrate in order to obtain the quantity of copper that is desired in the final product.
