Definitions

  • the invention relates to a cost effective method for manufacturing solid ceramic catalysts with enhanced catalytic performances, and catalyst thereof.
  • Ceramic catalysts may be employed to induce/increase a range of different chemical reactions such as synthesis of organic and inorganic compounds, decomposition of oxides, oxidation of compounds etc.
  • One example of use of ceramic catalysts are in de-nitrification of exhaust/flue gases.
  • Nitrogen oxides are unwanted bi-products often formed in combustion processes and other chemical reactions involving nitrogen and oxygen at high temperatures. Many of these oxides have detrimental effects on the environment.
  • N 2 O is a very strong greenhouse gas, and the Kyoto Protocol calls for strong reductions in the emissions of the gas.
  • NO and NO 2 are strong acidic oxides forming nitric acid when reacting with water, and is a major source for acidic rain.
  • Nitrogen oxides may be catalytically reduced to elementary nitrogen and oxygen by use of specific classes of ceramic catalysts.
  • the catalytic active compound in ceramic catalysts may be the ceramic compound themselves, or the catalytic activity may be provided by compounds added to the ceramics, either in form of a composite in the ceramic matrix or of a coating on the ceramic solids.
  • Ceramic catalysts may advantageously have a plurality of through-going channels in order to increase the surface area of the catalysts. These channels are usually oriented in parallel inside each solid catalyst, and the catalyst body is usually given a cylindrical shape with non-circular cross section, that is, the catalyst object is an elongated object with an n-fold rotational symmetry along its centre axis.
  • the catalysts may also be given a complementary form (not necessarily with n-fold rotational symmetry) such that they may be adjoined to form a planar inter-locking structure with the internal channels oriented normal to the surface plane of the structure in order to force passing fluids to flow through the channels.
  • the physical dimensions of the planar inter-locked structure may be designed to cover the entire cross section of a reactor in order to force all fluids flowing through the reactor to pass through the channels in the catalyst.
  • Solid ceramic catalysts with the form of cylinders with or without circular cross sections and which incorporate a plurality of through-going channels in parallel with the centre axis are often denoted monoliths in the literature and industry. These structures are usually either coated with a catalytically active layer or are actually produced from the catalyst itself (S. Irandoust and B. Andersson, Catal.Rev.-Sci. Eng, 30, 341-392 (1988), “Monolithic catalysts for non-automobile applications”, and A, Cybulski and J. A. Moulin, Catal.Rev.-Sci. Eng, 36, 179-270, (1994), “Monoliths in heterogeneous catalysis”).
  • Monoliths are usually given a complementary shape and orderly placed side by side with their channels directed along the flow direction in the reactor such that the monoliths completely cover the cross-sectional area of the reactor.
  • the gas flowing in the reactor is made to enter the channels and passing through them.
  • miniliths Relatively small (as compared to monoliths) pellet-like ceramic catalysts with internal channels are often denoted “miniliths” in the literature and industry. These catalysts may be given any shape and are usually placed in random order in a layer covering the cross-section of the reactors. The direction of the internal channels in the catalysts will thus become stochastic, and the main catalytic effect is obtained by forcing the reactant fluids to flow through the layer of miniliths in-between the miniliths. Only a fraction of the reactant flow will enter and pass through the internal channels.
  • the catalytic activity of a solid catalyst is usually a function of amount of catalyst material and the contact area of the solid.
  • the catalytic activity is controlled by the amount (mass) of the catalytic components when dealing with reactions with relatively slow chemical reaction rates, and by surface area when dealing with relatively rapid chemical reaction rates.
  • the fast reactions occurs predominantly on the surface of the catalyst since the reactants becomes reacted before they are able to diffuse into the bulk phase of the catalyst, and is thus a surface controlled process.
  • the slower chemical reactions allow time to involve the bulk phase of the catalysts and thus become more bulk phase (i.e. mass) controlled process.
  • the ratio of amount of catalyst mass and surface area is a function of number and dimensions of the through-going channels, i.e. the voidage fraction becomes a measure of the catalytic activity of the ceramic catalyst.
  • Catalysts intended for mass controlled reactions should have voidage fractions in the range from about 30% to 50%, while catalysts intended for surface controlled reactions should have voidage fractions from about 60 to 90%.
  • miniliths by dry compaction of a powder in a die.
  • the miniliths may be given through-going channels by equipping the dies with a number of core pins.
  • this technology does not allow forming objects larger than the pellet-like miniliths.
  • Extrusion is a method where a plastic mix, consisting of the catalyst, binders, processing aids and a solvent is pressed through a die to generate a solid block.
  • the block may contain a multiplicity of channels, produced by die core pins.
  • Extrusion is very suitable for producing long blocks of material with straight parallel channels.
  • the total processing time may take up to five to six days, as the extruded block will require careful, drying and thermal treatment. Sophisticated drying procedures, such as microwave drying, may be able to reduce this processing time a little, but the large process time is nevertheless a problem since it enhances the manufacturing costs.
  • segmenting by cutting extruded monoliths has several drawbacks. They include deformation of the monolith, if it is cut before the extrudate is dried, and material loss and possible breakage if the monolith is cut after drying or high temperature sintering. For extruded monoliths it may be impossible to recycle the material from defective pieces, after they have been dried.
  • Injection moulding is another forming technique where a plastic feedstock is heated to reduce the feedstock's viscosity, before being injected into the mould.
  • Powder injection moulding is a forming technique used in the metal and ceramic industries as a net-shape forming technique (R. L. Billiet and T. H. Billiet, “A Practical Guide to Metal and Ceramic Injection Moulding”, Elsevier Advanced Technology, 1 Jun. 2005, and B. Mudsutty and R. G. Ford, “Ceramic Injection Molding (Materials Technology)”, Kluwer Academic Publishers, 30 Nov. 1994).
  • ceramic catalysts may be shaped to form interlocking self-supporting structures which may be assembled to form a catalyst covering the entire cross sectional area of a reactor.
  • the ceramic catalysts may be provided with through-going channels for passage of reactants in fluid state.
  • the main objective of the invention is to provide a cost effective method for manufacturing solid ceramic catalysts with enhanced catalytic performances.
  • a further objective is to provide catalysts which generate turbulent flow in their internal channels.
  • FIG. 1 shows examples of catalysts with varying cross-sectional areas of the channels according to one aspect of the present invention.
  • FIG. 2 shows one example of interlocking catalysts according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 3 shows another example of interlocking catalyst to the present invention, where adjacent catalysts overlap to prevent reactive fluid bypass
  • FIG. 4 is a schematic diagram showing the method according to the first aspect of the invention.
  • FIG. 5 shows pictures of an example of monolith catalysts according to the present invention, 5 C, compared with two examples of monolith catalysts made by prior art extrusion, 5 A and 5 B.
  • FIG. 6 shows performance of equal volumes of pellets and a conventional extruded monolith from prior art and an injection moulded monolith according to the present invention for N 2 O decomposition
  • FIG. 7 is a schematic representation of CFD-calculation showing velocity profiles of gas flow through a circular regular monolith channel.
  • FIG. 8 is a schematic representation of CFD-calculation showing vorticity profiles of gas flowing through a circular regular monolith channel.
  • FIG. 9 is a schematic representation of a CFD-calculation showing velocity profiles in the case of a channel with three step-wise expansions of the channel.
  • FIG. 10 is a schematic representation of a CFD-calculation showing vorticity profiles in the case of a channel with three step-wise expansions of the channel.
  • FIG. 11 is a schematic representation of a CFD-calculation showing the pressure drop in the case of a channel with one step-wise expansion of the channel.
  • FIG. 12 is a photograph of an example embodiment of a monolith catalyst according to the invention.
  • FIG. 13 is a side view of the internal channels in the embodiment shown in FIG. 12 .
  • FIG. 14 is a comparison of the catalytic activity of the monolith catalyst shown in FIG. 12 in the case of internal channels with a step-wise narrowing and with straight channels (no narrowing).
  • the invention is based on the realisation that cost effective ceramic catalysts with voidage fractions ranging from about 30% to above 90%, with internal channels providing fluid flow, and which are comparable in size and shape as present monoliths, may be manufactured by use of powder injection moulding (PIM).
  • PIM powder injection moulding
  • the powder injection moulding process also provides larger freedom to shape the catalysts both on overall design and internal design of the channels.
  • the invention relates to a method for production of ceramic catalysts, comprising:
  • the invention relates to a method for production of catalysts, comprising:
  • the second aspect allows forming ceramic structures without catalytic properties, and then applying the catalytic compounds onto the ceramic structures. This enables use of other ceramics with different mechanical and chemical properties than catalytic ceramics, and use of other catalysts such as noble metals, palladium, etc.
  • An injection mould as used herein means any sufficiently heat and pressure resistant mould that may successively be opened for retrieval of the moulded object and closed for moulding a new object. In closed position the mould will form an internal chamber with the inverse shape of the objects that are to be formed.
  • the mould should include at least one inlet for injection a paste and at least one outlet for gases such that injected paste may fill all available space in the internal chamber.
  • the injection mould may contain one or more pins, cylindrically or another shape, extending from one end to the opposite end of the internal chamber of the mould, which will make through-going channels in the moulded objects.
  • An advantage of injection moulding compared to extrusion is an enhanced freedom to designing the shape of the catalysts.
  • An extruded object will necessarily have identical cross-sectional areas along a longitudinal axis (when the cross-sectional planes are perpendicular to the axis).
  • An injection moulded object is not confined to this restriction, it may be given irregular shapes since the shape of a moulded object is defined by the physical dimensions and design of the walls of the injection moulds internal chamber.
  • ceramic catalysts made by the first aspect of the invention may be given a non-symmetric shape, or more or less symmetric shapes such as objects with circular, elliptical, triangular, square, hexagonal, or other straight-edged polygonal cross-sectional areas, enabling construction of a tessellation of catalyst blocks enabling filling up the entire cross-sectional area of a reactor. It is also possible to design the catalysts with complementary protrusions and recessions that will form an interlocking grip when placed side by side, enabling maintaining the relative positions of the individual catalysts in a reactor during thermal cycling.
  • a third aspect of the invention relates to ceramic catalysts monoliths comprising one or more through-going channels with varying cross-sectional areas. This might be obtained by supplying the injection mould with a number of pins with a variable diameter, i.e. a tapering, stepwise decreases of the diameter, etc., which will form channels in the moulded object with varying cross-sectional areas promoting turbulence when fluids are flowing through the channels.

  • a fifth aspect of the invention relates to use of powder injection moulding for making ceramic catalysts.
  • the obtained freedom of shaping the catalysts enables producing catalysts with shapes and surfaces promoting turbulence in fluids passing along the outer surface and/or in fluids flowing in channels in the catalysts.

  • the powder injection moulding technique according to the first aspect of the invention may be applied to form relatively small ceramic catalysts with a number of internal channels, such as for example catalysts known by the name miniliths.
  • Minilith as used herein means relatively small ceramic catalysts with one or more internal channels, and which usually are placed randomly in the flow direction of a gas or fluid to be catalysed. Miniliths are often given a cylindrical form and is commonly used in packed bed reactors. However, miniliths with any shape including cylindrical and non-cylindrical shapes is included in the invention.
  • Monolith is here defined to be relatively larger objects with a longitudinal form, which includes one or more internal channels.
  • Monoliths are often placed orderly in the flow direction of the gas or fluid to be catalysed, forcing the reaction fluids to pass through the internal channels.
  • One example is a cylindrical monolith with channels. It is possible to use a single monolith or a stack of more than one monolith in a process to be catalysed. A stack may be orderly placed on top of each other and may be separated by a separator. In one example the separator is a wire net.

  • the catalyst of the present invention can have the form of particles/small solid objects without channels.
  • These particles/objects may be solid or porous.
  • a porous particle/object is a form which comprises a higher surface than a solid part, for example a porous form may have pores or cracks such that the gas may enter the catalyst.
  • the particles/objects may have irregular forms which promote turbulence in gas in a process to be catalysed, e.g. forms with edges or cut-outs.
  • the person skilled in the art may easily design particles/objects with shapes promoting turbulence in fluids flowing through beds/stacks of the particles/objects.

It is possible to recycle material back to the beginning of the process. Time is especially saved by the fast process of injection moulding and the short time for de-binding.
  • the present invention provides catalysts with reproducible density and excellent flow properties.
  • Catalysts can be formed into many shapes as the moulds can be changed in a powder injection machine tool and thereby can the form of the catalysts easily be tailor made for different processes, as industrial processes and as well catalytic processes in cars, to name some. Thereby there can be achieved catalysts with oblong form which have low pressure drop when applied in the catalytic process.
