Definitions

  • Embodiments of the invention relate nitrogen oxide storage materials and methods for their manufacture. More particularly, embodiments of the invention pertain to NO x storage materials that are resistant to thermal aging and methods of making such materials.
  • the nitrogen oxide storage materials may be part of a catalytic trap used to treat exhaust gas streams, especially those emanating from lean-burn gasoline or diesel engines.
  • NO x nitrogen oxides
  • Conventional three-way conversion (“TWC”) automotive catalysts are suitable for abating NO x , carbon monoxide a (“CO”) and hydrocarbon (“HC”) pollutants in the exhaust of engines operated at or near stoichiometric air/fuel conditions.
  • CO carbon monoxide a
  • HC hydrocarbon
  • An air-to-fuel (“A/F”) ratio of 14.65:1 (weight of air to weight of fuel) is the stoichiometric ratio corresponding to the combustion of a hydrocarbon fuel, such as gasoline, with an average formula CH 1.88 .
  • Engines are being designed to operate under lean conditions as a fuel economy measure.
  • Such future engines are referred to as “lean-burn engines”. That is, the ratio of air to fuel in the combustion mixtures supplied to such engines is maintained considerably above the stoichiometric ratio (e.g., at an air-to-fuel weight ratio of 18:1) so that the resulting exhaust gases are “lean”, i.e., the exhaust gases are relatively high in oxygen content.
  • lean-burn engines provide enhanced fuel economy, they have the disadvantage that conventional TWC catalysts are not effective for reducing NO x emissions from such engines because of excessive oxygen in the exhaust.
  • Attempts to overcome this problem have included operating lean-burn engines with brief periods of fuel-rich operation (engines which operate in this fashion are sometimes referred to as “partial lean-burn engines”).
  • the exhaust of such engines is treated with a catalyst/NO x sorbent which stores NO x during periods of lean (oxygen-rich) operation, and releases the stored NO x during the rich (fuel-rich) periods of operation.
  • the catalyst component of the catalyst/NO x sorbent promotes the reduction of NO x to nitrogen by reaction of NO x (including NO x released from the NO x sorbent) with HC, CO and/or hydrogen present in the exhaust.
  • Diesel engines provide better fuel economy than gasoline engines and normally operate 100% of the time under lean conditions, where the reduction of NOx is difficult due to the presence of excess oxygen.
  • the catalyst/NOx sorbent is effective for storing NOx.
  • a transient rich condition must be utilized to release/reduce the stored NOx to nitrogen.
  • this transient reducing condition will require unique engine calibration or injection of a diesel fuel into the exhaust to create the next reducing environment.
  • NO x storage (sorbent) components including alkaline earth metal oxides, such as oxides of Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba, alkali metal oxides such as oxides of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs, and rare earth metal oxides such as oxides of Ce, La, Pr and Nd in combination with precious metal catalysts such as platinum dispersed on an alumina support have been used in the purification of exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine.
  • alkaline earth metal oxides such as oxides of Mg, Ca, Sr and Ba
  • alkali metal oxides such as oxides of Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs
  • rare earth metal oxides such as oxides of Ce, La, Pr and Nd in combination with precious metal catalysts such as platinum dispersed on an alumina support
  • precious metal catalysts such as platinum dispersed on an alumina support
  • baria is usually preferred because it forms nitrates at lean engine operation and releases the nitrates relatively easily under rich conditions.
  • NO x storage materials comprising barium fixed to ceria particles have been reported, and these NO x materials have exhibited improved thermal aging properties compared to the catalyst materials described above.
  • improvements there is an ongoing need to improve the performance of NO x storage materials, particularly the ability of these materials to operate over a wide temperature range and to operate effectively after exposure to high temperature. It is also desirable to improve the kinetics of NO x oxidation (required in advance of NOx storage) and the kinetics of NOx reduction (required following NOx release).

  • the mixture was then heated at about 550° C. to 800° C. for about 2 hours to form particles of ceria having barium carbonate supported on the ceria particles.
  • the resulting BaCO 3 had a crystallite size of between about 20 and 40 nm.
  • the BaCO 3 and CeO 2 crystallites formed particles with a size of between about 5 and 50 microns.
  • the BET surface area of the particulate mixture is between about 30 and 80 m 2 /g.
  • a precious metal can be supported on a refractory oxide according to the following description.
  • Pt and Rh are impregnated onto Al 2 O 3 by an incipient wetness procedure to yield 1.8 weight percent Pt and 0.1 weight percent Rh.
  • Pd is impregnated separately onto alumina to a Pd loading of 1.4 weight percent.
  • a slurry mixture containing about 34 wt % of alumina previously mixed with Pt/Rh, about 9 wt % Pd on alumina, a solution of zirconium acetate with a content of about 3 wt % ZrO 2 , magnesium acetate to yield 9 wt % MgO, and 45 wt % BaCO 3 /CeO 2 spray-dried powder is milled at pH 6-8 until a particle size of 11 micron (d 90 ) is obtained.
  • Ceramic or metallic honeycomb substrates are coated with the slurry in a dip coating manner and then dried in a dryer and subsequently calcined in a furnace under air at about 450° C.-550° C. The coating procedure is then repeated until a loading of about 4-6.5 g/in 3 is achieved.
  • the coating on the honeycomb catalyst comprises about 3-30 micron BaCO 3 /CeO 2 particles and about 1-20 micron alumina particles. BaCO 3 is fixed within the pores of the ceria particles in such a way that it does not migrate to the alumina particles. It is believed that the contact of BaCO 3 and alumina would lead to the formation of inactive Ba/Al 2 O 3 composite compound formation upon aging, which has a reduced NO x storage capacity compared to BaCO 3 .
  • catalytic traps Two catalytic traps were prepared, a first catalytic trap was prepared in accordance with Example 1 and a comparative catalytic trap was prepared in accordance with Comparative Example 2. Both catalytic traps A were evaluated after aging for 8 hours at 850° C.
  • Both catalytic traps were evaluated as follows. An engine was set to an air/fuel ratio of 11.6 for 2 minutes at the desired temperature to remove all stored NO x and oxygen from the catalyst. This mode represents rich engine operation. Subsequently, the engine was adjusted to an air/fuel ratio of 29.6 under constant NO x mass flow. This mode represents lean engine operation. During the whole test, the NO x concentration was measured before and after the NO x trap using a NO x analyzer.
  • FIG. 1 demonstrates that the NO x storage capacity of catalytic trap prepared in accordance with Example 1 utilizing a spray-drying process exhibited superior capacity compared to the Comparative reference Example.
  • Table I shows the result of a variation of the BaCO 3 and CeO 2 concentration together with a variation of the ceria used. After impregnation, all samples were calcined at 550° C. in air to decompose the impregnated Ba precursor into BaCO 3 .
  • sample C After 800° C. aging, the highest NOx storage activity at 400° C. is obtained with sample C, having a medium Ba concentration and a CeO 2 material with a medium BET surface area and crystallinity.
  • a high BET surface area and relative low Ba concentration is especially beneficial for NOx storage at 300° C. It is particularly interesting that sample D having the largest BaCO 3 crystallite size after aging yields the best NOx storage at low temperature.
  • increased Ba concentration resulted in decreased BET surface area and increase in CeO 2 crystal size.
  • the Ba/CeO 2 is calcined after Ba impregnation at different temperatures. This is done to decompose the Ba precursor to the carbonate and to conditioning the composite for optimum NOx adsorption capacity.
  • Table II demonstrates that a calcination temperature between 550 and 750° C. after impregnation of Ba onto CeO 2 provided the best results for NO x storage. The samples calcined within this temperature range had higher surface area and exhibited higher NOx storage after aging than a sample calcined at 850° C.
  • a BaCO 3 crystallite size of between about 20-50 nm, for example, 45 nm, and a CeO 2 crystallite size of between about 25-30 nm in combination with a sufficient BET surface area after aging yielded the highest NOx storage at 400° C.
  • an as-prepared BET surface area between 40-60 m 2 /g and a ceria crystal size between about 10-and 20 nm and a BaCO 3 crystallite size of between about 20-and 40 nm yielded the best performance after aging.
  • FIG. 6 shows about 10-20 nm size CeO 2 crystals agglomerated to particles of about 5-50 microns in size. Adhering to these about 5-50 micron size CeO 2 particles are BaCO 3 particles of about 20-150 nm size. The BaCO 3 particles are likely agglomerates of smaller crystallites.
  • the decomposition temperature is the temperature at which Ba reacts with ceria to form BaCeO 3 .
  • the samples below were prepared by an incipient wetness preparation instead of spray-drying prior to calcination. The results are shown in Table III:
  • the preferred BaCO 3 /CeO 2 /dopand material should have a BET surface area >10 m 2 /g after aging and a high resistance towards reaction to BaCO 3 as shown in table III.
  • the table below shows a list of different support materials derived from ZrO 2 or Al 2 O 3 .
  • Materials A and B show higher BaCO 3 decomposition temperature than pure or La, Ba or ZrO 2 doped aluminas. However the surface area of those materials is relatively small compared to other doped or undoped materials. Furthermore, it was found that the higher the surface area of a material in presence of Ba the higher is the NO x storage capacity of an aged catalyst containing this material.
  • ZrO 2 doped aluminas and also La and ZrO 2 doped materials have very thermally stable surface areas in presence of Ba.
  • the preferred alumina should have a BET surface area of 150-250 m 2 /g, a pore volume of 0.3-0.8 ml/g an average pore size of 3-20 nm.
  • Samples N (Example 8A) and O (Example 8B) from Table IV above were prepared into fully formulated catalysts and tested for NOx storage capacity after aging for 50 hours at 850° C. under stoichiometric conditions.
  • FIG. 4 shows that the lanthana and zirconia doped sample (Example O) exhibited the best results between 250 and 400° C. Similar results were observed for sample N aged 50 hours at 750° C. (Example 8C) and sample O aged 50 hours at 750° C. (Example 8D) at a lean air fuel ratio, and these results are shown in FIG. 5 .
