CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂在氨选择性催化还原氮氧化物反应中的性能(英文)

氮氧化物(NO_x)是主要的大气污染物之一.氨气选择性催化还原法(NH_3-SCR)是目前去除固定源排放的氮氧化物的最有效方法,被广泛用于燃煤或者生物质的火电厂中.催化剂是NH_3-SCR法的核心,其中V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂是主要的商业SCR催化剂;但是V_2O_5有毒,对环境的影响很大;另外,该催化剂具有较高的SO_2氧化性能.因而研究者一直在探索新型的SCR催化剂.SO_2是燃煤电厂烟气中的典型气体之一,所以抗硫性能是催化剂的一个重要指标.在SCR反应条件下,SO_2和O_2容易与氧化物催化剂发生反应生成稳定性较高的硫酸盐,覆盖在催化剂表面从而引起催化剂失活.但已有研究发现,硫化会提高K中毒后的V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂的活性.并且,短时间的硫化可以明显提高CuO/Al_2O_3的NH_3-SCR活性.硫酸盐催化剂或许具有较低毒性和较高抗硫性能,应该是一种有前景的SCR催化剂.本文以商业纳米TiO_2为载体,采用湿式浸渍法制备了一系列的CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂.在自制的活性评价装置上测试了样品的NH_3-SCR活性并且在340℃下连续24 h测试了SO_2、水蒸气及两者共同作用对催化剂活性的影响.使用N_2等温吸附-脱附、X射线衍射(XRD)、X射线光电子能谱(XPS)、H_2程序升温还原(H2-TPR)和NH_3程序升温脱附(NH_3-TPD)对催化剂进行了表征.另外,采用原位红外漫反射光谱研究了CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂上的NH_3-SCR反应过程.N_2等温吸附-脱附结果表明,负载的CuSO_4没有明显改变载体的孔结构.而XRD结果仅显示锐钛矿TiO_2的衍射峰,说明CuSO_4在载体上有较好的分散度或者CuSO_4的含量低于检测限.XPS结果显示,催化剂中的铜主要以Cu~(2+)形式存在,硫主要以SO_4~(2-)形式存在,而氧主要以晶格氧和吸附氧两种形式存在,并且CuSO_4的存在会增加催化剂中吸附氧的含量.H_2-TPR结果表明,随着CuSO_4含量的增加,催化剂的氧化还原能力逐渐增强.NH_3-TPD结果表明,催化剂表面的酸性位数目随着样品中CuSO_4含量的增加而增加.纯TiO_2的NH_3-SCR活性很差,当温度从300℃增加到450℃时,最高NO_x转化率仅为32.7%.但当CuSO_4负载到TiO_2上以后,催化剂活性明显提高.在反应温度高于340℃时,CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂的NO_x转化率在94%以上,与商业V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2催化剂相当,并且其N_2O生成量低于商业催化剂.不过,当温度低于340℃时,CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂的NO_x转化率明显低于商业催化剂,说明CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂的活性仍有待改善.连续24 h测试了SO_2、水蒸汽及两者的共同作用对CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂活性的影响.结果显示,单独的水蒸气会导致活性轻微下降,但SO_2以及两者共同存在时对催化剂的活性基本没有影响.CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂的NH_3吸附红外光谱表明,催化剂上存在Lewis和Bronsted两种酸性位,但Bronsted酸性位上的NH_4~+稳定性较差,280℃时即基本消失.在高温时,NH_3主要吸附在Lewis酸性位上且CuSO_4/TiO_2催化剂对NO_x的吸附能力较差,红外光谱未检测到NO_x的吸附峰.380℃下,当NO和O_2通入预吸附NH_3的催化剂样品时,属于Lewis酸性位上NH_3的红外峰明显下降,说明Lewis酸性位上吸附的NH_3参与了反应.CuSO_4/TiO_2显示出高的抗硫抗水性能和比较好的NH_3-SCR活性,应该是一种有应用前景的SCR催化剂.CuSO_4可以增加催化剂的酸性位数目和吸附氧量.根据原位红外漫反射结果,CuSO_4/TiO_2上的SCR反应遵循Eley-Rideal机理.气相的NO与吸附在Lewis酸性位上的NH_3反应生成N_2和H_2O或许是主要的反应途径,并且吸附氧可能会促进这个过程.

Performances of CuSO4/TiO2 catalysts in selective catalytic reduction of NOx by NH3

A series of CuSO4/TiO2 catalysts were prepared using a wet impregnation method. The activity of each sample in the selective catalytic reduction of NO by NH3 (NH3‐SCR) was determined. The ef‐fects of SO2 and H2O, and their combined effect, on the activity were examined at 340 °C for 24 h. The catalysts were characterized using N2 adsorption‐desorption, X‐ray diffraction, X‐ray photoe‐lectron spectroscopy, temperature‐programmed reduction of H2 (H2‐TPR), tempera‐ture‐programmed desorption of NH3 (NH3‐TPD), and in situ diffuse‐reflectance infrared Fouri‐er‐transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS). The CuSO4/TiO2 catalysts had good activities, with low pro‐duction of N2O above 340 °C. SO2 or a combination of SO2 and H2O had little effect on the activity, and H2O caused only a slight decrease in activity during the experimental period. The NH3‐TPD and H2‐TPR results showed that CuSO4 increased the amounts of acid sites and adsorbed oxygen on the catalyst. In situ DRIFTS showed that the NH3‐SCR reaction on the CuSO4/TiO2 catalysts followed an Eley–Rideal mechanism. The reaction of gaseous NO with NH3 adsorbed on Lewis acid sites to form N2 and H2O could be the main reaction pathway, and oxygen adsorption might favor this process.
