Description
Supported oxide catalyst for low-temperature combustion of methane emitted from low-calorific sources and the process for preparation thereof
The invention refers to a supported catalyst based on chromium and tin oxides for combustion of methane emitted from lean anthropogenic sources and the process for preparation thereof.
Even if methane concentration in the atmosphere is distinctly lower than that of C02, its contribution to the greenhouse effect is over twenty times higher. Reduction of the emission of the anthropogenic methane of low concentrations, produced in coal mines (VAM - ventilation air methane), landfills and agriculture is thus necessary. Classical method of thermal combustion of methane is a technology requiring high financial outlays related to construction of appropriate reactors working at temperatures 800-1200 °C. In such conditions various by-products of combustion process can be formed, exhibiting sometimes even higher toxicity than methane. In turn, the methods basing on enrichment of the low concentrated methane do not lead to total CH4 recovery and are economically expensive. Therefore, the most attractive solution proposed for elimination of methane from lean sources seems to be its catalytic combustion at low temperatures in the autothermal conditions. Using a catalyst for low-temperature combustion of methane encounters many barriers related to the highly inert chemical character of methane molecules. Regarding a high energy of the C-H bond, its activation is particularly difficult process. Moreover autothermal combustion of methane is difficult also due to its low concentration, which in the case of Polish coal mines does not exceed 1 %. Additional difficulties are related to high airflows of the order of 105 m3/min. More favorable conditions occur in the case of methane catch pits in landfills, where methane content can reach a level of few percents. This is the main reason why there is a strong need to elaborate a catalytic system, ensuring efficient oxidation of methane in economically reasonable temperature windows.
Until now, the studies on catalysts for methane combustion had rather fundamental character and were focused on two groups of catalysts (Supported catalysts based on noble
metals, mainly Pt and Pd (Appl. Catal. B 39 (2002) 1 , J. Non-Cryst. Solids 345 (2004) 624, Appl. Catal. B 88 (2009) 430;Bare oxide systems of various composition and structure (Appl. Catal. B 15 (1998) 179, Catal. Lett. 75 (2001) 73, Appl. Catal. A 234 (2002) 1 , Catal. Today 158 (2010) 348, J. Mater. Chem. 20 (2010) 6968) Literature data indicate the fundamental importance of several parameters influencing activity of a suitable catalyst, such as composition of the active phase and oxidation states of individual elements, composition and nature of the support, morphology of the catalyst grains.
According to the literature, the catalytic systems obtained via functionalization of oxide supports with noble metals, mainly palladium and platinum, show the highest activity in methane combustion.
Patent application No. WO2004087311A1 described a catalyst for the low temperature catalytic oxidation of methane in the presence of hydrogen and water. The catalyst comprises a high surface area alumina, tin oxide and at least one noble metal selected from the group consisting of palladium, platinum, rhodium or a combination thereof on a monolithic support.
Patent application No. JPl 1-067468 described a catalyst wherein palladium or palladium oxide is supported on a carrier containing tin oxide (IV) and/or palladium acetate.
However, the low stability of noble metals in reaction conditions together with their relatively high costs discredit their potential application in industrial scale. Bare oxides, e.g. V205, M0O3, exhibit rather low activity in catalytic combustion of methane. Deposition of an active phase on oxide supports leads to the formation of various molecular structures with the properties distinctly different from those observed in the case of their bare states. This results in substantial increase of their activity. Such systems are also characterized by acceptable thermal stability and lower costs of production in comparison to those for catalysts based on noble metals.
Patent application No. EP578384A1 describes a process for the direct catalytic oxidation of methane to methanol in which a catalyst comprises chromium chemically bound to the oxygen of a metal oxide catalytic support surface. The support may comprise silica, alumina, magnesia, titania, or zirconia.
Following the invention, a supported oxide catalyst for low-temperature oxidation of methane is featured by the fact that on the surface of crystalline Sn02 with the grain size ranging from 15 to 30 nm, and specific surface area between 20 and 80 m2/g, oxoclusters of chromium are dispersed. Their concentration varies from 1 to 5 mol. % (calculated as Cr03), but preferably the content of 3 mol. % was found to be optimal.
Following the invention, preparation of the catalyst includes addition of ethanolamine to an aqueous solution of tin(IV) chloride. The solution obtained in such a way is heated in hydrothermal conditions (temperature 160 °C, pressure 30 atm). The obtained precipitate is centrifuged and chloride ions are elutriated. The precipitate is then dried at 120° C for 12 hours. Subsequently the precipitate is calcined at 600 °C for 6 hours. The obtained support undergoes functionalization with oxocomplexes of chromium. This process can be performed in two ways. First method involves impregnation of the support with a solution of ammonium dichromate in such a way, that the volume of the used solution is lower than pore volume of the support. Second method consists on impregnation of the support with a solution of ammonium dichromate in hydrothermal conditions in microwave autoclave. Once the reaction is accomplished, the precipitate is centrifuged. In both cases, after impregnation, the drying and calcination steps are applied in the conditions similar to those described previously for Sn02.
The invention is illustrated by following examples.
Example I. Preparation of the catalyst.
0.6 g of tin(IV) chloride pentahydrate and 0.01 mole of CTAB (hexadecylotrimethylammonium bromide) were dissolved in distilled water in such a way to obtain 30 cm3 of a solution. To this solution 10 cm3 ethanolamine was added. The mixture was then placed in a Teflon vessel and underwent hydrothermal treatment in microwave autoclave. The reaction was run at 160 °C for 20 minutes under the pressure of 30 atmospheres. Obtained precipitate was centrifuged, rinsed with distilled water until the total removal of chloride ions. Subsequently the precipitate was dried at 120 °C for 12 hours, and calcined at 600 °C for 6 hours, with temperature increase of the rate of 4 T/min.
XRD analysis confirmed the presence of crystalline Sn02 only of mean crystallite size of 16 nm. Specific surface area of the obtained material was equal to 23 m /g.
Example II. Functionalization of Sn02 by impregnation.
1 g of Sn02 obtained according to the procedure described above was impregnated with 40 cm3 of ammonium dichromate solution. Concentration of the solution was chosen in such a way, that the final concentration of CrOx (calculated as Cr03) was equal to 3 mol. %. The preparation was dried at 120 °C for 12 hours and then calcined at 600 °C for 6 hours.
Spectroscopic and XRD studies confirmed beneficial two dimensional structure of the deposited oxoclusters, and a lack of undesired nanocrystalline forms of surface chromium oxides. Raman spectrum with deconvolution of the interesting range and UV- Vis/DR spectrum for the structure 3% mol CrOx/Sn02 is presented in the figures 1 i 2. Example III. Catalytic tests.
Sieve fraction 0.2-0.3 mm of a catalyst of the mass of 400 mg was placed in a quartz flow reactor with a sintered frit. A gas reaction mixture containing oxygen and methane in a volume ration 5:1 passed through the reactor with a flow rate of 40 cm3/min. The reaction was performed in the temperature programmed regime, increasing temperature with a rate of 10 °C/min up to 850 °C. Analysis of the composition of the post- reaction gas mixture by using a mass spectrometer revealed, that at temperature of 500 °C 90 % of conversion was observed, at full selectivity to carbon dioxide.
Following the invention, a supported oxide catalyst of CrOx/Sn02 containing 3 mol. % of an active phase of the characteristic structure, where the crystalline support two- dimensional chromium oxoclusters predominate on the surface. Characteristic features of the catalyst related to its structure and morphology are traced back to the preparation procedure. The catalyst can be applied for combustion of lean methane at temperatures below 500 °C. Composition of the catalyst assures its high efficiency, and the applied preparation method permits to obtain the catalytic materials of reproducible parameters.
