Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for producing composites comprising aluminum oxide and cerium/zirconium mixed oxides, hereinafter referred to in abbreviated form as Al/Ce/Zr oxide composite(s).
  • Al/Ce/Zr oxide composites produced in this way have an increased thermal stability.
  • Al/Ce/Zr oxide composites with incorporated catalytically active noble metals are known and are used for catalytic exhaust gas aftertreatment, for example, of combustion gases in particular, which have been discharged from the combustion chamber(s) of motor vehicles.
  • Such automotive catalysts usually consist of multiple components.
  • a thermally stable honeycomb body made of ceramic, usually cordierite, or metal films having a plurality of thin-walled channels is used as the carrier.
  • the so-called wash coat comprising porous aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ) and oxygen storage components, is applied to the carrier.
  • the wash coat also contains catalytically active noble metals incorporated into it. In modern exhaust gas catalysts, these are platinum, rhodium and/or palladium.
  • the ceramic carrier is supported in a metallic housing with the help of special bearing mats made of high-temperature wool, for example, less often in combination with wire mesh.
  • Wash coats containing Al/Ce/Zr oxide composites are known for aftertreatment of exhaust gas of combustion engines in which the cerium/zirconium mixed oxides act as oxygen storage components.
  • the Al/Ce/Zr oxide composites according to this invention are used in the above automotive catalysts.
  • WO 2006/070201 A2 describes an improved variant for producing mixed oxides of aluminum oxide, zirconium oxide and optionally at least one representative from CeO 2 , La 2 O 3 , Nd 2 O 3 , Pr 6 O 11 , Sm 2 O 3 , Y 2 O 3 and possibly other rare earth oxides.
  • Production is based on joint precipitation of the corresponding salts.
  • the mixed oxides are produced by joint precipitation of all the oxides involved, starting from a metal salt solution, where the pH is adjusted in the range of 8.5 ⁇ 1 during precipitation. Precipitation is performed by adding alkali hydroxides, in particular sodium hydroxide solution.
  • WO 2008/113457 A1 describes the production of Al/Ce/Zr oxide composites based on mixtures of aluminum oxide and cerium/zirconium mixed oxides that are produced separately.
  • U.S. Pat. No. 5,883,037 describes the importance of the thermal stability of the composite materials.
  • the process described here is a multistep process, in which Ce, Zr and optionally Pr salts are first precipitated by raising the pH and then the precipitate is isolated. The precipitate is brought into contact with alumina while mixing, then isolated and subjected to drying and calcination.
  • the alumina is preferably stabilized by foreign ions from the group of rare earths, Ba, Zr or Si.
  • the Ce/Zr mixed oxides and Ce/Zr/Pr mixed oxides produced by precipitation may optionally also be stabilized, e.g., by at least one element of group VIII, bismuth or some other rare earth element.
  • One disadvantage of this production process is due to the low homogeneity of the resulting material.
  • EP 1172139 A1 describes the production of homogeneous Al 2 O 3 /CeO 2 /ZrO 2 /Y 2 O 3 /La 2 O 3 mixed oxides by coprecipitation as well as their thermal stabilities.
  • Al—Ce—Zr—Y—La hydroxide intermediates resulting from joint precipitation were calcined and thus converted to the oxides.
  • WO 2006/119549 A1 describes a process in which a solution of metal salts is added to an acidic boehmite suspension to obtain a second suspension. Precipitation is induced by dropwise addition of the second suspension to an alkaline solution.
  • the method of WO 2006/119549 A1 leads to the development of discrete islands of Ce/Zr/rare earth mixed oxide in addition to aluminum oxide.
  • a very similar process is described in Comparative Examples 3, 14 and 15 of U.S. Pat. No. 6,831,036.
  • the residual surface areas described there are max. 39 m 2 /g after calcination at 1000° C. for three hours due to the process.
  • WO 2012/67654 A1 describes a process in which Al/Ce/Zr/rare earth oxide composite is produced by a two-step precipitation.
  • an “aluminum hydrate” and optionally a rare earth hydroxide are produced by precipitation of aluminum sulfate with sodium aluminate.
  • the Ce/Zr/rare earth component is precipitated by adding the corresponding salt solution to this suspension and then increasing the pH again.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide improved Al/Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) oxide composites having a definitely higher thermal surface stability, in particular at temperatures of 1100° C. or more (e.g., for 24 hours or more).
  • Surface stability in this sense refers to (largely) preserving the surface at high temperatures as measured according to BET.
  • Homogeneity here is understood to be a uniform distribution of the phase of Al 2 O 3 and Ce/Zr/rare earth mixed oxide without the formation of discrete islands.
  • the Al/Ce/Zr oxide composites obtained by the method according to the invention and optionally containing additional rare earth oxide components at least contain the Ce/Zr oxide in the form of a solid solution. This can be proven by x-ray powder diffraction analysis.
  • Al 2 O 3 and the Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) mixed oxides are present in a completely homogeneous distribution side by side, as has been demonstrated by EDX (energy-dispersive X-ray analysis) and element mapping. No domains for individual metal oxides were detected.
  • the indication // reporting of the components Al 2 O 3 and Ce/Zr mixed oxides and/or Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) mixed oxides and/or Al/Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) oxide composites does not preclude other metal oxide being components of the mixed oxides or of the composite.
  • the composites preferably consist only of Al 2 O 3 and Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) mixed oxides.
  • the process described in this invention differs from the prior art described above in that an aqueous alkaline boehmite suspension (slurry) is used and the precipitation is performed in the suspension in the presence of soluble metal salts, forming a Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) hydroxide precipitate wherein the Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) hydroxide precipitate (unlike the later solid solution) is homogeneously distributed in the boehmite matrix.
  • the degree of homogeneity and the effective separation of the Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) mixed oxide crystallite by the aluminum oxide which is associated with this is achieved by a very homogeneous precipitation in which the boehmite particles do not sediment within the suspension even in an alkaline medium.
  • the consistently high pH ensures a uniform precipitation of the Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) hydroxides so that these are present in the form of a homogeneous solid solution after calcination.
  • alkali and in particular sodium hydroxide solution may be omitted. Removal of alkali and/or sodium hydroxide from the composite material is absolutely essentially for the application and thus the omission of these components constitutes an important advantage.
  • the inventive method comprises the following steps:
  • nitrogen bases may be used, including urea or urotropin, for example, in addition to ammonia.
  • the suspension comprising boehmite, in particular is thus adjusted to the required pH.
  • the composite may also comprise one or more alkaline earth elements/compounds, rare earth elements/compounds, zirconium and/or silicon, in particular rare earth elements/compounds, wherein these are preferably added before drying, in particular only after step (c) or even (d) in the form of one or more additional soluble compounds.
  • the suspension of (c) is aged hydrothermally in an aqueous environment, preferably at a temperature of at least 90° C. for at least one hour, in particular for at least four hours at a temperature of at least 120° C.
  • water-soluble salts of the metals are used to produce the metal salt solution, e.g., acetates, nitrates and/or chlorides.
  • the addition of alkali salts and/or alkaline earth salts is preferably omitted, excluding barium salts which may optionally be used.
  • the Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) oxide is in the form of a solid solution in the composite, and Al 2 O 3 and the Ce/Zr (optional rare earth) mixed oxide/solid solution are present in homogeneous distribution side by side.
  • the Al/Ce/Zr oxide composite preferably contains 20% to 80% by weight preferably 40% to 70% by weight aluminum, 5% to 80% by weight preferably 5% to 40% by weight zirconium, 5% to 80% by weight preferably 5% to 40% by weight cerium, 0% to 12% by weight preferably 0.1% to 9% by weight rare earth metal(s) (RE), calculated as Al 2 O 3 , ZrO 2 , CeO 2 , RE 2 O 3 .
  • the amount of the other soluble compounds added in step (d2.2) after redispersing is preferably 0.1% to 15% by weight (calculated as oxide) based on the weight of Al 2 O 3 .
  • Preferred rare earth metals include neodymium, praseodymium, yttrium and/or lanthanum.
  • the Al/Ce/Zr oxide composites preferably still have a surface area of at least 20 m 2 /g preferably at least 40 m 2 /g after four hours at 1200° C.
  • the aluminum/cerium/zirconium mixed oxides can be used in automotive catalysts such as three-way catalysts (WC) or also in other components such as NO x storage mechanisms, diesel oxidation catalysts (DOC) and diesel carbon black particle filters (DPF). Their structure was described in the introduction.
  • Boehmites in the sense of this invention are compounds of the general formula AlO(OH) ⁇ H 2 O. Boehmites produced by hydrolysis of an aluminum alkoxide are preferred; see U.S. Pat. No. 5,055,019 (“Process for the Production of Boehmitic Aluminas”).
  • boehmitic aluminas are obtained in a purity of at least 99.95% Al 2 O 3 with defined pore radii in a range between 3 and 100 nm by salt-free aqueous neutral aluminum alcoholate hydrolysis, wherein the alumina suspension obtained from aluminum alcoholate hydrolysis is aged in an autoclave a) at a water vapor pressure of 1 to 30 bar corresponding to a temperature of 100 to 235° C., b) in a period of 0.5 to 20 hours and c) while stirring at a circumferential velocity of 1.0 to 6.0 m/s.
  • aluminum alcoholates are used in the production of the boehmitic aluminas to obtain high purity products.
  • the aluminum alcoholates may be synthesized by the Ziegler process, for example, in which a purification step is performed by filtration.
