Description

CATALYST WITH ZIRCONIA/CERIA SUPPORT
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
This invention relates to a catalyst.
PCT/GB 94/00321 discloses a catalyst for use in the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons which comprises a porous alumina support having captured thereon a complex comprising gold, a transition metal selected from cobalt and manganese, and the alumina, the concentration of gold on the support being less than 2 percent by mass of the catalyst, and the atomic ratio of gold to transition metal being in the range 1 :30 to 1 :200. Of these catalysts, the preferred catalyst is one which has cobalt as the transition metal. The alumina is said to have a large surface area, typically 80 to 400m2/g.

United States Patent No. 4,957,896 discloses a catalyst for purification of exhaust gases comprising a support substrate, an active alumina coating layer comprising at least one of nickel oxide and cobalt oxide formed on the surface of the support substrate, a composite oxide comprising cerium oxide and zirconium oxide formed in the active alumina coating layer, and a noble metal loaded on the active alumina coating layer. The noble metal may be platinum, palladium or rhodium.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
According to the present invention, a catalyst comprises an oxide support selected from zirconium oxide, cerium oxide and mixtures thereof having captured thereon a noble metal in catalytically effective form.
DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENTS
The oxide support in the catalyst of the invention is zirconium oxide, cerium oxide or a mixture thereof in contrast to prior art catalysts which use oxides such as alumina, silica, aluminosilicates, titania and the like. Thus, the oxide support will be present in the catalyst in an amount of at least 50% by mass of the catalyst, and generally at least 60% by mass of the catalyst. The support may be zirconium oxide on its own or cerium oxide on its own. It is preferred that a mixture of such oxides are used. When the support comprises a mixture of these oxides, the cerium oxide will generally constitute at least 50% by mass of the mixture. The preferred mass ratio of cerium oxide to zirconium oxide is in the range 5:1 to 2: 1, typically about 3:1.
The catalyst contains a noble metal in catalytically effective form. This form will vary according to the nature of the catalyst. The noble metal will generally be gold, platinum, palladium, rhodium or silver. Gold is the preferred noble metal.
The concentration of the noble metal will generally be low. i.e. less than 2% by mass of the catalyst. Preferably the noble metal concentration is of the order 0, 1 to 0,5% by mass of the catalyst.
The catalyst preferably also contains a transition metal in oxide form. The transition metal oxide preferably has a spinel structure. Examples of transition metal oxides which form spinel structures are cobalt oxid < Co 0„ i and ferric oxide (Fe3O4).
When the noble metal is gold, the preferred catalyst also contains a transition metal oxide having a spinel structure and to which the gold is associated, e.g. complexed.
The catalyst will also preferably contain a dopant capable of improving the thermal stability thereof. Examples of suitable dopants are alkaline earth metal oxides, silicon dioxide and oxides of metals of the lanthanide series. Examples of suitable metal oxides are calcium oxide, barium oxide, silicon dioxide, lanthanum oxide (La^) yttrium oxide (Y2O3) and -neodymium oxide (Nd2O3). A particularly preferred dopant is a mixture of lanthanum oxide and neodymium oxide. When present, the dopant will typically be present in the catalyst in an amount of up to 15% by mass, preferably 2 to 10% by mass, of the catalyst.
The oxide support will be porous and able to capture as much of the noble metal/transition metal oxide thereon as possible. The oxide support should have as large a surface area as possible, typically 80 to 200m2/g. The oxide support may take any suitable form such as a monolith, an extrudate, pellets, rings, pearls or preferably a powder.
The ratio of noble metal to transition metal, when present, in the catalyst, can vary over a wide range. Generally, the atomic ratio of noble metal to the transition metal will not exceed 1 :200.
The catalyst, when it contains both a noble metal and a transition metal oxide, is preferably made by the method described in PCT/GB 95/00136. The method involves impregnating the oxide support with a solution of the transition metal, optionally drying the product, exposing the impregnated product to a reducing atmosphere such as hydrogen or carbon monoxide at a temperature exceeding 300°C, impregnating the thus treated product with a solution of the noble metal and drying the impregnated product. The catalyst may be activated by exposing it to a temperature of at least 300°C, typically 300 to 700°C, in the presence of oxygen. The oxygen may be air or oxygen mixed with another gas, or pure or substantially pure oxygen.
The catalyst of the invention, particularly one containing gold and a transition metal oxide having a spinel structure, has been found to be effective in the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons at low and high temperatures and reducing nitrous oxides. This makes the catalyst suitable, for example, for use in the exhaust system of motor vehicles, gas safety masks, the purification of air in industrial processes and undergound operations, the purification of various industrial effluent gases and the re¬ cycling of carbon dioxide in lasers. The catalysts have also been found to be capable of catalysing the degradation of ozone.
An example of the invention will now be described. A mixture of zirconium oxide and cerium oxide powder was dried in an oven at 120°C for a period of about 2 hours. The powder had a surface area of approximately 80 to 100m2/g and the ratio of cerium oxide to zirconium oxide, on a mass basis, was approximately 3:1.
The powder mixture was mixed with a small amount of lanthanum oxide and neodymium oxide powders .
The powdered mixture was impregnated with a cobalt nitrate solution containing about 2,7 mol f"1 of cobalt nitrate.
The cobalt nitrate impregnated support was dried for a period of 6 to 24 hours at 120°C causing some decomposition of the nitrate to the oxide. Following drying, the material was heated at 500°C under flowing hydrogen (30ml/min) and held at this temperature for 20 minutes. This caused the cobalt nitrate/oxide to be reduced. Following this, the material was cooled in flowing hydrogen to room temperature. The material was thereafter optionally kept in nitrogen or exposed to air at a temperature of less than 40°C. The thus treated product was impregnated with a gold solution, i.e. tetrachloroauric acid solution (0,077 mol f ') and dried.
The impregnated support was dried and activated by heating it in a flow of oxygen or air (30ml/min) and at a temperature of about 500°C. This activation was maintained for a period of 10 to 30 minutes.
The catalyst produced by this method was found to be effective in catalysing the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons and reducing nitrous oxide gases.
The catalyst was found to have the following composition (percentages by mass).
0,5% gold, 19,5% cobalt, 70% zirconium oxide/cerium oxide. 5% lanthanum oxide and 5% neodymium oxide as dopant. Cobalt oxide (Co304) having a spinel structure. Gold in association (complexed) with the cobalt oxide spinel
The gold cobalt oxide/zirconium oxide - cerium oxide catalyst as described above was compared in its catalytic activity in the oxidation of hydrocarbons and carbon monoxide with a gold/cobalt oxide/alumina catalyst of the type described and claimed in PCT/GB 94/00321. The results obtained are set out in Table 1. TABLE 1

It will be noted from the above that the catalyst of the invention has significantly better oxidation catalytic activity, particularly in the oxidation of hydrocarbons at lower temperatures.
The catalytic activity of a gold/cobalt oxide/zirconium oxide - cerium oxide catalyst as described above, with and without lanthanum and neodymium dopants, were also compared in their ability to catalyse the oxidation of carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons. The results obtained are set out in Table 2. TABLE 2

The catalyst with the dopants proved to be thermally more stable than the catalyst without the dopants and had better oxidation catalytic activity at low temperatures.
