  • Exhaust from combustion engines creates nitrogen oxide (NOx) that contributes to smog and other forms of environmental pollution. NOx should be removed from the exhaust streams of these engines in order to protect the environment and satisfy government regulations. Current 3-way catalyst converter technology may be used to remove NOx in automotive exhaust under certain limiting conditions. For example, 3-way catalysts operate at high temperatures greater than 300 degrees C. In addition, in order to meet current emissions standards, 3-way catalysts contain a large quantity of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, and palladium. Further, prior art catalysts may have difficulty in reacting with NOx in the presence of oxygen.
  • There is therefore a need in the art for an improved catalyst that reduces NOx under various conditions including oxygen rich and oxygen deficient conditions. There is also a need for a catalyst that does not include expensive precious metals and is economical to manufacture. There is a further need in the art for a catalyst that includes a surface that selectively interacts with NOx in the presence of oxygen or in the absence of oxygen. There is also a need in the art for a process for reducing NOx in various conditions including oxygen rich and oxygen deficient conditions.

    •  DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS
  • The present disclosure provides a method of forming, process of reducing nitrogen oxide (NOx) and/or catalyst composition for the reduction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) to generate nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide. The catalyst may include a transition metal tungstate having the formula: MWO4 wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu. The catalyst may be utilized in oxygen rich environments and oxygen deficient environments. This catalyst provides a precious metal free catalyst that allows for reaction in a variety of conditions unlike most 3-way catalysts that operate only in narrowly defined conditions. The catalyst allows the selective interaction of nitrogen oxide (NOx) with a surface of the catalyst in oxygen rich and oxygen deficient environments in contrast to current prior art catalysts.
  • The process includes providing a gaseous exhaust mixture including nitrogen oxide (NOx) and hydrocarbon fuel; providing a nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction catalyst including a transition metal tungstate having the formula: MWO4 wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu; and contacting the gaseous exhaust mixture with a surface of the nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction catalyst forming nitrogen, water and carbon dioxide.
  • In one aspect the nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction catalyst includes the transition metal tungstate of the formula MWO4 wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, and Cu and includes a crystalline structure. The catalyst can include a plurality of transition metal tungstate nanoparticles. In some instances, the nanoparticles are uniform in size and can have an average particle size of 10 to 60 nanometers as best shown in FIGS. 1A-E and FIG. 2.
  • As described above, the catalyst may be used in a variety of conditions such as oxygen rich and oxygen deficient conditions. In one aspect, the catalyst may have the formula: MWO4 wherein M is selected from Mn, Fe, Co and Cu and the catalyst reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) in an oxygen rich environment.
  • In another aspect, the catalyst may have the formula: MWO4 wherein M is selected from Ni and Co and the catalyst reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) in an oxygen deficient environment.
  • In another aspect, there is disclosed a process of forming a nitrogen oxide (NOx) reduction catalyst including the steps of: providing metal salts of the transition metal including Co(NO3)2, MnCl2, Fecl2, Ni(NO3)2 or Cu(SO4)4; providing Na2WO4; combining the metal salt and Na2WO4 forming a solution; exposing the solution to a source of microwave energy and initiating a hydrothermal reaction forming MWO4. The exposing step may include exposure to microwave energy for various periods of time to elevate the temperature or heat the solution to a desired temperature range.
  • The exposing step may include exposing the solution to microwave energy from less than one minute to 60 minutes. In one aspect, the exposing step may be from 1 to 10 minutes at a power of 800 Watts. The exposing step may raise the temperature of the solution to a temperature of from 80 to 300 degrees C. Following the exposing step, the solution may be cooled and then washed and dried. Following the drying step, the catalyst material may be calcined in air at 350-700 degrees C. for 60 minutes.
  • For an oxygen rich condition the catalyst may include a transition metal tungstate having the formula: MWO4 wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Mn, Fe, Co and Cu wherein the catalyst reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) with hydrocarbon fuel.
  • Referring to FIG. 12, there is shown a graphical depiction of the catalyst reaction in an oxygen rich condition. As shown in the figure, oxygen adsorbs to a surface of the catalyst and nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the form of nitric oxide (NO, x=1) bonds with the surface adsorbed oxygen forming nitrogen dioxide which reacts with the hydrocarbon fuel forming nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water. The reaction mechanism as described may reduce the overall activation energy barrier for (NOx) or (NO) reduction in typical prior art catalysts.
  • For the oxygen deficient condition the catalyst may include a transition metal tungstate having the formula: MWO4 wherein M is selected from the group consisting of Ni and Co wherein the catalyst reduces nitrogen oxide (NOx) an oxygen deficient environment including hydrocarbon fuel.
  • Referring to FIG. 13, there is shown a graphical depiction of the catalyst reaction in an oxygen deficient condition. As shown in the figure, nitrogen oxide (NOx) or (NO) bonds with a surface of the catalyst and the nitrogen oxygen bonds dissociate forming nitrogen and the oxygen reacts with the hydrocarbon fuel forming carbon dioxide and water.
  • The invention is further described by the following examples, which are illustrative of specific modes of practicing the invention and are not intended as limiting the scope of the invention defined in the claims.
    • Examples Preparation of MWO4
  • Starting materials of Co(NO3)2, MnCl2, Fecl2, Ni(NO3)2 or Cu(SO4)4 and Na2WO4.2H2O were purchased from Sigma-Aldrich and used directly without further purification. In a typical synthesis a (0.2M) Na2WO4 solution was combined with a (0.2M) transition metal solution in a stoichiometric manner with strong agitation. The solution mixture was then placed into a glass microwave tube. A microwave assisted hydrothermal synthesis was conducted on a microwave reactor (Anton Paar Microwave 300). The microwave tube was heated to various temperatures at max power (800 W). The exposure to microwaves was maintained for various times as will be discussed in more detail below. Following the exposure to microwaves the tube was cooled by forced air flow. The resulting product was rinsed with DI water multiple times on a centrifuge followed by vacuum drying overnight at 60 degrees C. Following the drying step, the catalyst material was calcined in air at 550 degrees C. for 60 minutes.
  • A final powder product was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) as shown in FIGS. 1A-E. It can be seen in the Figures that MWO4 material includes discrete particles having a size ranging from 10-60 nm. The particles have a specific surface area of from 4.9 to 28.2 m2/g as depicted in FIG. 2. X-ray diffraction (XRD) data is shown in FIG. 11 and shows a crystalline structure for the catalyst materials.
    • Example II Activity Testing MWO4
  • The activity testing was performed in a laboratory scale packed bed reactor (PID Eng&Tech Microactivity-Reference). Activity was determined for NO reduction by the hydrocarbon propylene (C3H6). Activity testing was performed under stoichiometric conditions both in oxygen deficient and oxygen rich conditions. As depicted in FIG. 3, under oxygen deficient conditions, the stoichiometric ratio of NO:C3H6 is 9:1, and under oxygen rich conditions, the stoichiometric ratio of NO:C3H6:O2 is 3:1:3. Also depicted in FIG. 3, 100 mg of catalyst material was combined with 400 mg of quartz sand and a total flowrate of 100 ml/min (gas hour space velocity GHSV˜15,000 inverse hours) was used for the testing in both oxygen rich and oxygen deficient conditions. A pretreatment phase includes heating the reactor and catalyst mixture to 500 degrees C. and maintaining the temperature for 15 minutes under oxidizing conditions (30 ml/min of 10% O2 in He balance). The reactor is then cooled and maintained at 50 degrees C. for a specified time with the introduction of the gaseous mixture of nitrogen oxide (NOx) in the form of nitric oxide (NO, x=1), hydrocarbon (C3H6) and oxygen in certain tests. The reactor is then heated to 600 degrees C. Measurements were taken at various temperatures as reflected in the various data which will be discussed in more detail below.
  • Referring to FIG. 4, there is shown a plot of the NO conversion over the catalyst samples in an oxygen deficient condition in which no oxygen was added to the reactor. As can be seen from the plot, the NiWO4 and CoWO4 samples exhibited NO reduction in the oxygen deficient condition. The reduction of NOx in the oxygen deficient condition verifies the selective interaction of NO with the catalyst surface in the absence of oxygen.
  • Referring to FIG. 5 there is shown a plot of the NO conversion over the catalyst samples in an oxygen rich condition in which oxygen was added to the reactor. As can be seen from the plot, the MnWO4, FeWO4, CoWO4 and CuWO4 samples exhibited NO reduction in the oxygen rich condition. The reduction of NOx in the oxygen rich condition verifies the selective interaction of NO with the catalyst surface in the presence of oxygen.
  • FIG. 6 depicts a plot of the NO conversion over the catalyst samples as a function of the O2 conversion under the conditions of stoichiometric NO reduction under oxygen rich conditions in which oxygen was added to the reactor. As can be seen from the plot, the MnWO4, FeWO4, CoWO4 samples exhibit significant NO selectivity. The selectivity herein refers to the ability of the catalyst surface to selectively interact with NO gas rather than O2 gas. The MnWO4 sample displays an almost 1 to 1 selectivity of NO to O2. The ability of the catalyst surface to perform the desired NO reduction reaction in the presence of oxygen provides an improvement over current prior art catalysts.
  • Referring to FIG. 7, there are shown NO, C3H6, and O2 conversions as a function of temperature for MnWO4 in an oxygen rich condition in which oxygen was added to the reactor. As can be seen in the figure, the NO conversation exceeds 90% for the sample. The NO conversion dropped as O2 was depleted at higher temperatures.
  • Referring to FIG. 8, production of N2 and NO2 as monitored by the detection of the mass spectrometry counts at m/z=28 and m/z=46, respectively, are shown as a function of temperature in an oxygen rich condition in which oxygen was added to the reactor. FIG. 8 indicates that reduction of NO under oxygen rich conditions results in the production of N2 with trace amounts of NO2 also present.
  • Referring to FIG. 9, there are shown NO and C3H6 conversions as a function of temperature for NiWO4 in an oxygen deficient condition in which no oxygen was added to the reactor. As can be seen in the figure, the NO conversation exceeds 80% for the sample.
  • Referring to FIG. 10, production of N2 and NO2 as monitored by the detection of the mass spectrometry counts at m/z=28 and m/z=46, respectively, are shown as a function of temperature in an oxygen deficient condition in which no oxygen was added to the reactor. FIG. 10 indicates that reduction of NO under oxygen deficient conditions results in the production of N2 and with no production of NO2.
  • The invention is not restricted to the illustrative examples described above. Examples described are not intended to limit the scope of the invention. Changes therein, other combinations of elements, and other uses will occur to those skilled in the art. The scope of the invention is defined by the scope of the claims.
