Pd-Rh single-coating catalyst for purifying tail gas of natural gas vehicle and preparation method thereof
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of automobile exhaust purification catalysts, and particularly relates to a Pd-Rh single-coating catalyst and a preparation method thereof.
Background
Natural gas is a rich energy source and contains fewer impurities, and natural gas vehicles emit CO as compared to gasoline and diesel vehicles2、NOxAnd less PM. Natural gas is one of the most specific alternatives to traditional petroleum fuels. The main pollutant in the tail gas of natural gas vehicles is unburned methane (CH)4) Nitrogen Oxide (NO)x) And carbon monoxide (CO). The crane-type natural gas vehicle executed national six emission standards since 2019, 7 months and 1 day. The mainstream technical route of the six-stage heavy natural gas engine in China adopts equivalence ratio combustion,the post-treatment catalyst adopts a three-way catalyst. Three-way catalyst capable of purifying HC simultaneouslys、NOxAnd CO, and is widely applied to gasoline vehicles. The three-way catalyst used by the natural gas vehicle is different from the three-way catalyst used by the gasoline engine, mainly because of HC in tail gas of the natural gas vehiclesIs mainly CH4,CH4Is the hydrocarbon with the most stable chemical structure, and the purification difficulty of the hydrocarbon is more than that of HC in the traditional gasoline vehiclesTherefore, the content of the noble metal in the three-way catalyst for the natural gas vehicle is about three times that of the three-way catalyst for the gasoline vehicle.
Three-way catalysts are generally composed of a honeycomb ceramic or metal substrate and a catalyst coating attached to the honeycomb substrate. And the catalyst coating layer is generally composed of an inorganic oxide material having a large specific surface area, a cerium-based oxygen storage material, and an active component (generally, Platinum Group Metal (PGM)s) ) is prepared. At present, Pd-Rh bimetallic catalysts are mainly used, wherein Pd is applied to HCsAnd CO has high catalytic activity, while Rh is mainly used for NOxAnd (4) purifying. Different PGMsAnd PGMsThe interaction with the carrier has a great influence on the catalytic performance of the catalyst. Currently, the industry usually supports Pd and Rh on different carriers, and respectively coats them to form a double-coating catalyst. This double layer structure avoids the formation of Pd-Rh alloys at high temperatures. However, since Pd and Rh are distributed on different coatings, the coordination of the Pd and Rh cannot be reflected, and the catalyst cannot achieve the optimal effect. And the double-coating structure makes the preparation process of the catalyst more complicated. Therefore, it is necessary to find a simplified single-coating catalyst that can not only avoid the formation of Pd-Rh alloy at high temperature, but also exert the coordination between Pd and Rh.

Fig. 1 is a result of characterization of XRD of the catalysts prepared in example 1, example 2 and comparative example 1, and it can be seen that Pd and Rh are not alloyed.
Activity evaluation experiment:
the activity evaluation of the catalyst is carried out in a multi-path fixed continuous flow microreactor, and the simulated natural gas automobile exhaust comprises the following components: 1000ppm CH4,4600ppm CO,950ppm NO,3118ppmO2,10vol.%H2O,10vol.%CO,N2The space velocity is 50000h for balancing gas-1. All catalyst samples were pretreated for 3h at 550 ℃ in a reaction atmosphere before reaction. Then testing at a heating rate of 5 ℃/min, wherein the temperature range of the activity test is 300-550 ℃, and recording the activity every 10 ℃. CH (CH)4The concentrations of NO and CO were measured using a fourier infrared analyzer. The final results of the activity evaluation are shown in FIGS. 2, 3 and 4.
As can be seen from the activity results of FIG. 2, for the conversion of methane, at the light-off temperature (T)50) Front-410 deg.C (about 410 deg.C), three catalyst pairs CH4Has no obvious difference in transformation at T50The catalyst of example 1 then shows a gradual advantage, in particular the presence of CH on the catalyst4Increases with increasing temperature, after-460 ℃ CH4The conversion of (a) was almost stabilized at 100%. However, on the catalysts in example 2 and comparative example 1, CH after 460 ℃ is4The conversion of (a) decreased with increasing temperature and did not reach full conversion throughout the entire temperature range tested, especially CH on the catalyst in comparative example 14The conversion of (c) was always less than 90%.
As can be seen from the activity results of fig. 3, there was NO significant difference in the conversion of NO on the catalysts of example 1 and example 2, whereas the conversion of NO on the catalyst of comparative example 1 was significantly inferior to the other two catalysts.
As can be seen from the activity results of fig. 4, there was no significant difference in the conversion of CO for the three catalysts, which were above 95% CO conversion over the entire temperature range tested.
Comparing several activity diagrams, it can be known that, compared with the step impregnation method (example 2) and the co-impregnation method (comparative example 1), the Ce layer formed between Pd and Rh by the deposition precipitation method can effectively separate Pd and Rh so that the interaction between Pd and Rh is not strong but not insufficient, and the obtained Pd-Rh bimetallic catalyst has higher efficiency for purifying tail gas of natural gas vehicles.

The invention has the advantages that Pd and Rh are loaded on the same carrier, a Ce layer is formed between Pd and Rh by adopting a deposition precipitation method, and the Pd-Rh single-coating catalyst is obtained by coating, so that the generation of Pd-Rh alloy at high temperature is avoided, the coordination effect between Pd and Rh is exerted, and the CH in the tail gas of the natural gas vehicle can be more effectively purified4NO and CO. In addition, the single-layer coating simplifies the preparation process of the catalyst and saves the cost to a certain extent.
