Description
DOC CATALYST EMPLOYING PD-AU FOR IMPROVING DIESEL OXIDATION ACTIVITY
Technical Field
[1] The present invention relates to a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) employing Pd-Au for improving diesel oxidation activity, and, more particularly, to a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), further including a Pd-Au alloy-containing support, thus increasing HC oxidation activity. Background Art
[2] Generally, since a diesel engine, which is a compression ignition engine, has high thermal efficiency at low vehicle speeds, it is advantageously used as a power source for a vehicle. Meanwhile, since a diesel engine is operated under a lean fuel condition, that is, at a high air/fuel (A/F) ratio, a diesel automobile discharges a very small amount of hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) compared to a gasoline automobile, but discharges a relatively large amount of NO and particulate matter
(PM), thus causing air pollution.
[3] In order to overcome the above problem, as post-treatment technologies, i) a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) for purifying high boiling point hydrocarbons of particulate matter, ii) a deNO catalyst for decomposing or reducing NO in an excess oxygen atmosphere, and iii) a diesel particulate filter for removing particulate matter (PM) are considered. [4] Diesel automobiles are relatively satisfactory in the emission of HC and CO.
However, in order to meet automobile exhaust gas regulations, diesel automobiles must be provided therein with a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) to remove HC and CO, make up for the activity of nitrogen oxides (NO ) and realize a natural re- generation type filter system. When exhaust gas emitted from a diesel engine passes through a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), CO and HC are oxidized into CO and H O. Meanwhile, in the DOC, SO , derived from fuel and engine oil, is oxidized into sulfuric acid, which is poisonous to the DOC, thus deteriorating the durability of DOC.
[5] Several conventional technologies related to DOCs have been disclosed.
[6] As the conventional technologies, Korean Patent Registration No. 361419 discloses a ceria-alumina oxidation catalyst and a method of using the same. It is mentioned in the patent document that a composition for the ceria-alumina oxidation catalyst includes enough platinum and palladium to accelerate the oxidation of gaseous CO and HC as catalytic components of the ceria-alumina oxidation catalyst having a predetermined surface area. However, the conventional ceria-alumina oxidation catalyst is problematic in that its specific surface area is decreased due to carbon deposition and sulfur poisoning, causing inactivation of the catalyst, and thus its activity is deter iorated with the passage of time when it is actually installed in a vehicle. Further, Korean Patent Registration No. 279938 discloses an oxidation catalyst composition for a diesel engine, comprising an active alumina having larger micropores, impregnated with 0.5 - 1.0 wt% of platinum compound, and metal compounds. Disclosure of Invention Technical Problem
[7] Recently, as exhaust gas emission regulations become stricter, there is a problem in that the amount of platinum included in a DOC is rapidly increased, and thus the production cost of the DOC is increased. Therefore, in order to solve the problem, some of platinum is being replaced with palladium. Theoretically analyzing the fact that platinum is being replaced with palladium, a DOC is inactive to HC and CO at low temperature, but accelerates the oxidation of HC and CO with the increase in temperature. In most DOC systems including Pt/alumina, CO conversion is higher than HC conversion. That is, additional catalytic components necessary for the HC conversion are required, and palladium (Pd) has higher activity than does platinum (Pt) at high temperature, so that some of platinum (Pt) can be replaced with palladium (Pd). However, when some of platinum (Pt) is replaced with palladium (Pd), the following problems ensue. According to a tendency in the oxidation reaction of CO and HC in the case where only platinum (Pt) is used as a component of a DOC and in the case where platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) are used as components of the DOC such that the weight ratio of the platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) is 2: 1, in the case where only platinum (Pt) is used as a component of a DOC, the temperature at which CO is oxidized is almost the same as that at which CO+HC are oxidized, but in the case where some of the platinum is replaced with palladium, the temperature at which CO is oxidized is greatly different from that at which CO+HC are oxidized, thereby increasing the HC LOT (Light Off Temperature) in the case where palladium is used for a DOC in place of some of the platinum. This tendency can be understood from the fact that the bonding energy between palladium (Pd) and HC, particularly long-chain HC, is high. Therefore, there is a technical problem in that the HC LOT must be decreased in the case of a catalyst composition in which some of the platinum is replaced with palladium. The characteristics of a catalyst composition may be determined by LOT (Light Off Temperature), and LOT is defined as the temperature at which the HC conversion ratio in a catalyst exceeds 50%. Technical Solution
[8] Accordingly, the present invention has been made keeping in mind the above problems occurring in the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) which can overcome the problem of the HC LOT increase in the diesel oxidation catalyst in which some of the platinum is replaced with palladium.
[9] In order to accomplish the above object, the present invention provides a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC), further including a Pd-Au alloy-containing support, thus increasing HC oxidation activity.
[10] A Pd-Au alloy-containing support is known as a catalyst for converting ethylene into vinyl acetate in a gaseous phase using acetic acid, oxygen or oxygen-containing gas. U.S. Patent No. 4,048,096 discloses a method of preparing a catalyst comprising palladium and gold deposited on a catalyst support. In this method, a catalyst support is impregnated with an aqueous solution including a mixture of palladium salt and gold salt, a precious metal salt is converted into a water-insoluble compound by alkaline treatment, and then the water-insoluble compound is supported on the catalyst support. Subsequently, the palladium and gold compounds included in the catalyst support are reduced using the corresponding precious metals, thus preparing a Pd-Au alloy- containing support. The prepared Pd-Au alloy-containing support includes 0.5 ~ 2.0 wt% of palladium and 0.2 - 1.3 wt% of gold, and preferably, may further include 0.01 - 1.0 wt% of lanthanides and/or compounds thereof (refer to Korean Patent Registration No. 550813).
[11] The present inventors found that HC conversion rate is greatly improved when the
Pd-Au alloy-containing support is applied to a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC). The theoretical reason for this is not clear, but is assumed to be because gold (Au) weakens the bonding force between palladium (Pd) and long-chain HC.
[12] The Pd-Au alloy-containing support used in the present invention is supported on alumina doped with 1.67 wt% of Pd and 2.00 wt% of Au. However, in the present invention, instead of alumina, silica, aluminosilicate, silicate, titanium oxide, zirconium oxide, titanate, silicon carbide, or carbon may be used. Meanwhile, in the present invention, regardless of the Pd-Au alloy-containing support, it is clear that water-soluble salts, such as chloride, halides, nitrate, nitrite, hydroxide, oxide, oxalate, acetate and amine, may be applied to a precursor solution containing palladium and gold.
[13] The present invention provides a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) which has an improved HC conversion rate when the Pd-Au alloy-containing support is applied to a conventional palladium-containing catalyst.
Advantageous Effects
[14] The DOC catalyst according to the present invention is advantageous in that the problem that occurs when some of the platinum is replaced with palladium in a conventional palladium-containing catalyst, that is, the deterioration of HC activity at low temperature, can be solved because the Pd-Au alloy-containing support is additionally applied to the conventional palladium-containing catalyst, so that the problem of activity that occurs when platinum in a DOC composition is replaced with palladium, which is cheaper than platinum, can also be solved. Brief Description of the Drawings
[15] FIG. 1 is graphs showing the respective HC conversion rates of a Pd-Au containing diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and comparative diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs); and
[16] FIG. 2 is a graph comparing the HC conversion rate and CO conversion rate of a
Pd-Au containing diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) with those of comparative diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs). Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention
[17] Hereinafter, a conventional diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) composition and a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) of the present invention will be described in detail. Generally, a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) includes precious metals, such as platinum, palladium, and the like, and is used together with a fire-resistant oxide support having a high surface area, such as high surface area alumina. The fire- resistant oxide support is supported on a monolithic carrier. Further, a fire-resistant oxide having a high surface area is used as a support for a DOC. For example, high surface area alumina, referred to as 'gamma-alumina' or 'active alumina', has a BET (Brunauer, Emmett and Teller) surface area of 60 or more (m /g), and such active alumina generally has a gamma phase and a delta phase, but may have an eta phase, a kappa phase and a theta phase. Generally, a DOC composition includes platinum (Pt) and palladium (Pd) such that the weight ratio of platinum and palladium is 2: 1, and the method of preparing a DOC composition containing platinum and palladium is commonly known.
[18] The present invention provides a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) supported with precious metals including platinum and palladium, and, particularly, a diesel oxidation catalyst further including a Pd-Au alloy-containing support. The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) of the present invention can solve the HC LOT problem occurring when some of the platinum is replaced with palladium.
[19] The diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) according to an embodiment of the present invention is formed by impregnating a first Pd-Au alloy-containing support and a second support with precious metals including platinum and palladium. Further, the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) according to an embodiment of the present invention may include rare-earth metals for storing oxygen. The first support and the second support are fire-resistant oxide supports having surface areas the same as each other or different from each other. The second support may be selected from the group consisting of silica, alumina, and titania. Preferably, the second support is an active compound selected from the group consisting of alumina, silica, alumina- silica, alumi- nosilicate, alumina-zirconia, alumina-chromia and alumina-ceria, and, more preferably, is active alumina.
[20] Hereinafter, a diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) including a first Pd-Au alloy- containing support and a second support according to the present invention will be described in detail. In the following Catalytic Protocol, platinum (Pt) is not mentioned, but this is to simplify a test, and does not mean that the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) of the present invention does not include platinum (Pt) as a component. The following Catalytic Protocol is a test for illustrating the fact that gold (Au) weakens the bonding force between palladium (Pd) and long-chain HC, thus increasing the HC conversion rate.
[21] < Method of producing catalyst >
[22] [Example 1]
[23] a. a first Pd-Au alloy-containing support, which is supported on alumina doped with
1.67 wt% of Pd and 2.00 wt% of Au, was mixed with a second gamma-alumina powder support.
[24] b. The mixture of the first support and the second support was formed into a mixed support including 1.7 g/1 of precious metal (Pd) using palladium nitrate, and then the mixed support was dispersed in water to form slurry. The amount of the Pd component was applied with considering the prices of total precious metals (Pd and Au)
[25] c. The slurry was ball-milled such that about 90 % of particles had a particle size of
8 - 10 um, and then a cordierite honeycomb was coated with the ball- milled slurry, dried at a temperature of 15O0C ~ 16O0C for about 10 minutes, and then aged at a temperature of 65O0C for 10 hours (or at a temperature of 75O0C for 10 hours), thereby completing a Pd-Au/Al O DOC.
[26] [Comparative Example 1]
[27] A Pd/ Al O DOC was produced using the same method as in Example 1, except that only the second gamma-alumina powder support was used.
[28] [Comparative Example 2]
[29] A Pd/ Al O DOC was produced using the same method as in Example 1, except that active alumina doped with 10 wt% of lanthanum was used.
[30] The compositions of these Pd- Au/ Al O DOCs are given in Table 1.
[31] Table 1
Figure imgf000007_0001
[32] * Prices of precious metals of Example 1 and Comparative Examples 1 and 2 are the same (Au: 617.7 US$/ounce, Pd: 327.0 US$/ounce). [33] The CO LOTs of these Pd-Au/Al O DOCs were tested, and the results thereof are
2 3 given in Table 2. From Table 2, it can be seen that DOCs including only Pd as a precious metal did not exhibit HC oxidation activity, but the DOC of the present invention, including Au as a precious metal, exhibited improved HC oxidation activity at low temperature.
[34] Table 2
Figure imgf000007_0002
[35] Meanwhile, FIG. 1 shows the respective HC conversion rates of a Pd-Au containing diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) and comparative diesel oxidation catalysts (DOCs), which were aged at an inlet temperature of 65O0C and 75O0C. From FIG. 2, it can be seen that the HC conversion rate of the DOC of Example 1 was increased to about 2-6% of that of the DOCs of Comparative Examples 1 and 2.
[36] Finally, the DOC (aged at 65O0C) of Example 1 and the DOC of Comparative Example 1 were real-car-tested using a Pride (1.5L), and thus the HC conversion rates and CO conversion rates thereof were measured, and the results thereof are shown in FIG. 2. As shown in FIG. 2, it can be seen that the HC conversion rate of the DOC of the present invention was remarkably improved compared to the CO conversion rate thereof. This result coincides with the theoretical prediction that gold (Au) weakens the bonding force between palladium (Pd) and long-chain HC.
[37] Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
