Description

本発明は、排ガス浄化用触媒及びそれを用いた排ガス浄化方法に関する。   The present invention relates to an exhaust gas purification catalyst and an exhaust gas purification method using the same.

従来から自動車のエンジン等の内燃機関から排出される排ガスを浄化するために様々な排ガス浄化用触媒が実用化されてきた。このような排ガス浄化用触媒としては、空燃比をリーン側からパルス状にストイキ〜リッチ側となるように制御する(リッチスパイク)ことにより、リーン側ではNOxをNOx吸蔵材に吸蔵させ、そのNOxをストイキ又はリッチ側で放出させてHCやCO等の還元性成分と反応させて浄化するNOx吸蔵還元型の排ガス浄化用触媒が知られている。そして、このようなNOx吸蔵還元型の排ガス浄化用触媒としては、アルカリ金属等からなるNO吸蔵材と貴金属とが担持された担体を備える排ガス浄化用触媒が知られている。 Conventionally, various exhaust gas purification catalysts have been put into practical use in order to purify exhaust gas discharged from an internal combustion engine such as an automobile engine. As such an exhaust gas purification catalyst, the air-fuel ratio is controlled from the lean side so as to change from the lean side to the stoichiometric to rich side (rich spike), so that NOx is occluded in the NOx occlusion material on the lean side, and the NOx NOx occlusion reduction type exhaust gas purifying catalysts are known which purify by releasing them on the stoichiometric or rich side and reacting with reducing components such as HC and CO. Then, as such NOx storage reduction catalyst for purifying an exhaust gas, an exhaust gas purifying catalyst comprising the NO x storage material comprising an alkali metal or the like and a noble metal supported carrier is known.

例えば、特開2003−80081号公報(特許文献1)においては、基材と、前記基材上に担持された第一無機酸化物及び前記第一無機酸化物に担持されたPt、Pd、Rh、Ag、Au及びIrのうちの少なくとも一種からなる第一触媒金属を有する酸化触媒部と、前記基材上に担持された第二無機酸化物、前記第二無機酸化物に担持されたPt、Pd、Rh、Ag、Au及びIrのうちの少なくとも一種からなる第二触媒金属及び前記第二無機酸化物に担持されたNOx吸蔵材とを有するNOx吸蔵還元部とを備え、前記酸化触媒部及び前記NOx吸蔵還元部が、前記基材上に排ガスの流れ方向に並んだ状態で配置された排ガス浄化用触媒が開示されている。また、特開2007−144285号公報(特許文献2)においては、CeOからなる第一担体と、TiとSiとWの酸化物等からなる第二担体とを有し、前記第一担体に窒素酸化物を吸蔵するNOx吸蔵材及び貴金属を担持させ且つ前記第二担体に貴金属を担持させてなる排ガス浄化用触媒が開示されている。更に、特開2006−231204号公報(特許文献3)においては、基材と、前記基材に形成された触媒担持層と、前記触媒担持層に担持されたPt、Pd、Rh及びNOx吸蔵材とを有する排ガス浄化触媒であって、Rhが排ガス流の下流側に高濃度担持され、Pt及びPdが排ガス流の上流側に高濃度担持されている排ガス浄化用触媒が開示されている。しかしながら、特許文献1〜3に記載のような従来の排ガス浄化用触媒は低温域でのNOx浄化性能が必ずしも十分なものではなかった。 For example, in JP-A-2003-80081 (Patent Document 1), a base material, a first inorganic oxide supported on the base material, and Pt, Pd, Rh supported on the first inorganic oxide. , An oxidation catalyst part having a first catalytic metal composed of at least one of Ag, Au and Ir, a second inorganic oxide supported on the base material, Pt supported on the second inorganic oxide, A NOx occlusion reduction part having a second catalyst metal composed of at least one of Pd, Rh, Ag, Au and Ir, and a NOx occlusion material supported on the second inorganic oxide, and the oxidation catalyst part; An exhaust gas purifying catalyst is disclosed in which the NOx occlusion reduction part is arranged in a state where the NOx occlusion reduction part is arranged in the flow direction of the exhaust gas on the base material. In JP 2007-144285 A (Patent Document 2), a first support made of CeO 2 and a second support made of oxides of Ti, Si, W, etc. are provided. A NOx storage material that stores nitrogen oxides and a catalyst for purifying exhaust gas, in which a noble metal is supported and a noble metal is supported on the second support, are disclosed. Furthermore, in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2006-231204 (Patent Document 3), a base material, a catalyst support layer formed on the base material, and Pt, Pd, Rh and NOx storage materials supported on the catalyst support layer. An exhaust gas purifying catalyst is disclosed, in which Rh is supported at a high concentration downstream of the exhaust gas flow, and Pt and Pd are supported at a high concentration upstream of the exhaust gas flow. However, conventional exhaust gas purifying catalysts as described in Patent Documents 1 to 3 do not necessarily have sufficient NOx purification performance in a low temperature range.

なお、本発明の排ガス浄化用触媒及びの排ガス浄化方法によって、上記目的が達成される理由は必ずしも定かではないが、本発明者らは以下のように推察する。すなわち、先ず、本発明の排ガス浄化用触媒を用いた場合の排ガス浄化の過程について検討すると、その過程は以下の4つのステップからなるものと推察される。
(第1ステップ)排ガス中のNOが主にPt上によりNOへ酸化される。
(第2ステップ)酸性物質であるNOが塩基性物質であるNOx吸蔵材に吸蔵される。
(第3ステップ)短時間のパルス状に導入される空燃比リッチ時(リッチスパイク)によって酸素濃度が低下し、NOx吸蔵材からNOxが放出される。
(第4ステップ)放出されたNOxが主にRh上でCOやHC等の還元性ガスと反応し、Nに還元されて浄化される。
The reason why the above object is achieved by the exhaust gas purifying catalyst and the exhaust gas purifying method of the present invention is not necessarily clear, but the present inventors speculate as follows. That is, first, when an exhaust gas purification process using the exhaust gas purification catalyst of the present invention is examined, it is presumed that the process consists of the following four steps.
(First Step) NO in exhaust gas is oxidized to NO 2 mainly on Pt.
NO 2 is a (second step) acidic substance is occluded in the NOx-absorbing material is a basic substance.
(Third step) When the air-fuel ratio is introduced in the form of a short-time pulse (rich spike), the oxygen concentration decreases, and NOx is released from the NOx storage material.
(Fourth step) The released NOx mainly reacts with reducing gas such as CO or HC on Rh, and is reduced to N 2 to be purified.

そして、本発明においては、以下のようにして第1〜第4ステップが促進されるものと推察される。先ず、第1ステップにおいては貴金属の中でも特にPtが重要な役割を果たす。このようなPtは、同一担体上において近傍にNOx吸蔵材(アルカリ金属、アルカリ土類金属等)が共存すると、その活性が低下する傾向にある。そのため、本発明においては、Ptが担体に担持されている第1触媒粉末中のNOx吸蔵材の量を第1多孔質担体100gに対して0.03mol以下とする。このように第1触媒粉末は実質的にNOx吸蔵材を含有しないため、第1触媒粉末中のPtは活性低下が十分に抑制される。従って、本発明においては、第1触媒粉末中のPtの活性を十分に発揮させることができ、第1ステップが促進される。   And in this invention, it is guessed that a 1st-4th step is accelerated | stimulated as follows. First, in the first step, Pt plays an important role among noble metals. Such Pt tends to decrease its activity when a NOx occlusion material (alkali metal, alkaline earth metal, etc.) coexists in the vicinity on the same carrier. Therefore, in the present invention, the amount of the NOx occlusion material in the first catalyst powder in which Pt is supported on the carrier is 0.03 mol or less with respect to 100 g of the first porous carrier. Thus, since the 1st catalyst powder does not contain a NOx occlusion material substantially, the activity fall of Pt in the 1st catalyst powder is fully suppressed. Therefore, in the present invention, the activity of Pt in the first catalyst powder can be sufficiently exhibited, and the first step is promoted.

また、第2及び第3ステップを促進させるためには、NOx吸蔵材が担持されている担体上において、NOx吸蔵材の近傍に存在する貴金属が十分な活性を示す必要がある。しかしながら、一般に、同一担体上に貴金属とNOx吸蔵材とが近接して存在すると、貴金属がメタル状態から酸化物状態になって貴金属の活性が低下する傾向にある。そこで、本発明においては、担体にNOx吸蔵材が担持されている第3触媒粉末において、担体に貴金属としてPdを必須成分として担持させる。このようなPdは、酸化物状態でも十分な活性を示し、NOx吸蔵材と共存させても活性低下がPtやRhよりも少ない。また、本発明においては、このようなPdに浄化活性を十分に発揮させるために、Pdの担持量を担体100gに対して0.05g以上としている。このように、本発明においては、第3触媒粉末において所定量のPdとNOx吸蔵材とを組み合わせて用いるため、第3触媒粉末に十分に高度な活性を発揮させることができ、これにより第2及び第3ステップが十分に促進される。   Further, in order to promote the second and third steps, the noble metal existing in the vicinity of the NOx storage material needs to exhibit sufficient activity on the carrier on which the NOx storage material is supported. However, generally, when the noble metal and the NOx storage material are close to each other on the same carrier, the activity of the noble metal tends to be reduced from the metal state to the oxide state. Therefore, in the present invention, in the third catalyst powder in which the NOx occlusion material is supported on the support, Pd is supported as an essential component on the support as a noble metal. Such Pd exhibits sufficient activity even in an oxide state, and its activity decrease is less than Pt and Rh even when coexisting with the NOx storage material. Further, in the present invention, in order to sufficiently exhibit the purification activity of such Pd, the amount of Pd supported is 0.05 g or more with respect to 100 g of the carrier. As described above, in the present invention, since the predetermined amount of Pd and the NOx storage material are used in combination in the third catalyst powder, the third catalyst powder can exhibit sufficiently high activity. And the third step is fully facilitated.

更に、第4ステップにおいては貴金属の中でも特にRhが重要な役割を果たす。このようなRhは同一担体上にNOx吸蔵材が近接して存在すると活性が低下する傾向にある。そのため、本発明においては、Rhが担体に担持されている第2触媒粉末中のNOx吸蔵材の量を第1多孔質担体100gに対して0.03mol以下となるようにし、第2触媒粉末は実質的にNOx吸蔵材を含有しない。従って、本発明においては、第2触媒粉末中のRhの活性低下が十分に抑制され、これにより第4ステップが十分に促進される。   Furthermore, Rh plays an important role among the noble metals in the fourth step. Such Rh tends to decrease in activity when NOx occlusion material is present in the vicinity of the same carrier. Therefore, in the present invention, the amount of NOx occlusion material in the second catalyst powder in which Rh is supported on the carrier is 0.03 mol or less with respect to 100 g of the first porous carrier, It contains substantially no NOx storage material. Accordingly, in the present invention, the decrease in Rh activity in the second catalyst powder is sufficiently suppressed, and thereby the fourth step is sufficiently promoted.

上述のように、本発明の排ガス浄化用触媒においては、前記第1〜第3触媒粉末によって前述の第1〜第4ステップを促進させることが可能であるため、十分な触媒活性を示して比較的低温の温度条件下においても十分にNOxを浄化することができるものと推察される。   As described above, in the exhaust gas purifying catalyst of the present invention, the first to fourth steps can be promoted by the first to third catalyst powders. It is presumed that the NOx can be sufficiently purified even under a low temperature condition.

本発明によれば、十分に高い排ガス浄化性能を有し、硫黄被毒後においても低温域で排ガス中のNOxを十分に浄化することが可能な排ガス浄化用触媒及びその触媒を用いた排ガス浄化方法を提供することが可能となる。   According to the present invention, an exhaust gas purification catalyst having sufficiently high exhaust gas purification performance and capable of sufficiently purifying NOx in exhaust gas in a low temperature range even after sulfur poisoning, and exhaust gas purification using the catalyst It becomes possible to provide a method.

先ず、第1触媒粉末について説明する。このような第1触媒粉末は、第1多孔質担体及び前記第1多孔質担体に担持された第1貴金属を備える。このような第1多孔質担体としては、排ガス浄化用触媒の担体に用いることが可能な金属酸化物からなる多孔質の担体であればよく特に限定されない。このような金属酸化物としては、例えば、チタニア、マグネシア、アルミナ、シリカ、ジルコニア、セリア並びにこれらの複合酸化物及び固溶体等が挙げられる。また、このような第1多孔質担体の材料としての金属酸化物としては、耐熱性、耐硫黄被毒性及びPtとの相性の観点から、アルミナ、セリア−アルミナ複合酸化物、チタニア−ジルコニア固溶体、マグネシア−アルミナ固溶体の中から選択される少なくとも1種であることが好ましい。なお、このような第1多孔質担体としては1種の担体を単独で用いてもよくあるいは2種以上の担体を混合して用いてもよい。また、このような金属酸化物からなる第1多孔質担体の製造方法としては特に制限されず、公知の方法を適宜採用することができる。また、市販の多孔質担体を用いてもよい。   First, the first catalyst powder will be described. The first catalyst powder includes a first porous carrier and a first noble metal supported on the first porous carrier. The first porous carrier is not particularly limited as long as it is a porous carrier made of a metal oxide that can be used as a carrier for an exhaust gas purification catalyst. Examples of such metal oxides include titania, magnesia, alumina, silica, zirconia, ceria, and composite oxides and solid solutions thereof.

A commercially available porous carrier may also be used.

また、このような第1多孔質担体の形状は粉末状である。このような第1多孔質担体の平均粒子径としては、1〜100μmであることが好ましい。このような平均粒子径が前記下限未満では、担体のシンタリングが促進されてしまう傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を超えると比表面積が小さくなり貴金属の分散性が低下する傾向にある。なお、このような平均粒子径は、走査型電子顕微鏡(SEM)による観察を行い、任意の100個の粒子の粒径分布をとることにより求めることができる。   Moreover, the shape of such a 1st porous support | carrier is a powder form. The average particle size of the first porous carrier is preferably 1 to 100 μm. When the average particle size is less than the lower limit, the sintering of the support tends to be promoted. On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, the specific surface area tends to be small and the dispersibility of the noble metal tends to decrease. In addition, such an average particle diameter can be calculated | required by observing with a scanning electron microscope (SEM), and taking the particle size distribution of arbitrary 100 particles.

また、このような担体の比表面積は特に制限されないが、より高い触媒活性を得るという観点からは、30m/g以上(より好ましくは50〜250m/g)であることがより好ましい。 The specific surface area of such a carrier is not particularly limited, but is preferably 30 m 2 / g or more (more preferably 50 to 250 m 2 / g) from the viewpoint of obtaining higher catalytic activity.

さらに、このような第1多孔質担体の細孔の平均直径としては、特に制限されないが、100nm以下であることが好ましく、10nm以下であることがより好ましく、5nm以下であることが特に好ましい。このような非常に微細な細孔を有している第1多孔質担体は、各種基材に対する付着性が十分に高く、基材にコートした場合の耐久安定性がより確実に向上する傾向にある。   Furthermore, the average diameter of the pores of the first porous carrier is not particularly limited, but is preferably 100 nm or less, more preferably 10 nm or less, and particularly preferably 5 nm or less. The first porous carrier having such very fine pores has a sufficiently high adhesion to various substrates, and the durability stability when coated on the substrate tends to improve more reliably. is there.

また、前記第1多孔質担体に担持される第1貴金属は少なくともPtを含有する必要がある。このような第1貴金属はPtのみからなるものであってもPtとPt以外の他の貴金属を含有するものであってもよい。このような第1貴金属中のPtにより、前述の排ガス浄化の過程の第1ステップを促進させることが可能となる。また、このような第1貴金属中に含有することが可能なPt以外の他の貴金属としては、例えば、Rh、Pd、Os、Ir、Au等が挙げられ、耐熱性及び触媒活性の観点から、Rh及びPdのうちの少なくとも1種であることが好ましい。   Further, the first noble metal supported on the first porous carrier needs to contain at least Pt. Such a first noble metal may be composed only of Pt, or may contain other noble metals other than Pt and Pt. By such Pt in the first noble metal, it is possible to promote the first step of the exhaust gas purification process described above. In addition, examples of other noble metals other than Pt that can be contained in the first noble metal include Rh, Pd, Os, Ir, Au, and the like. From the viewpoint of heat resistance and catalytic activity, It is preferably at least one of Rh and Pd.

また、このような第1貴金属中の前記Ptの含有量は前記第1貴金属の総量に対して50質量%超えている必要がある。このような第1貴金属中のPtの含有量としては前記第1貴金属の総量に対して70質量%以上であることがより好ましい。このような第1貴金属中のPtの含有量が前記下限未満では、第1触媒粉末の触媒活性が低下し、得られる排ガス浄化用触媒のNOx浄化効率が低下する傾向にある。   Further, the Pt content in the first noble metal needs to exceed 50% by mass with respect to the total amount of the first noble metal. The content of Pt in the first noble metal is more preferably 70% by mass or more with respect to the total amount of the first noble metal. When the Pt content in the first noble metal is less than the lower limit, the catalytic activity of the first catalyst powder is lowered, and the NOx purification efficiency of the obtained exhaust gas purification catalyst tends to be lowered.

このような第1貴金属の担持量としては、前記第1多孔質担体100gに対して0.1〜5gとすることが好ましく、0.5〜3gとすることがより好ましい。前記貴金属の担持量が前記下限未満では、貴金属により得られる触媒活性が不十分となって、排ガス浄化用触媒のNO浄化活性が低下する傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を越えると、コストが高騰するとともに貴金属の粒成長を十分に抑制することが困難となる傾向にある。なお、このような第1貴金属を前記第1多孔質担体に担持せしめる方法としては、特に制限されず、公知の方法を適宜採用することができ、例えば、貴金属の塩(例えば硝酸塩等)を含有する溶液を前記第1多孔質担体に接触せしめて焼成する方法を採用してもよい。 The amount of the first noble metal supported is preferably 0.1 to 5 g, more preferably 0.5 to 3 g based on 100 g of the first porous carrier. The supported amount is less than the lower limit of the noble metal, becomes insufficient catalytic activity obtained by the noble metal tend to decrease the NO x purification activity of exhaust gas-purifying catalyst, while when it exceeds the upper limit, the cost As the price rises, it tends to be difficult to sufficiently suppress the noble metal grain growth. In addition, the method for supporting the first noble metal on the first porous carrier is not particularly limited, and a known method can be appropriately employed. For example, a salt of a noble metal (such as nitrate) is contained. A method may be employed in which the solution to be baked is brought into contact with the first porous carrier and calcined.

また、前記第1触媒粉末は、NOx吸蔵材の担持量が前記第1多孔質担体100gに対して0.03mol以下のものである。すなわち、第1触媒粉末は、第1多孔質担体にNOx吸蔵材が実質的に担持されていないものである。このようなNOx吸蔵材の担持量が前記上限を超えると、第1触媒粉末中のPtが酸化物状態となり易く、排ガス浄化用触媒のNOx浄化活性が低下する。   The first catalyst powder has a NOx occlusion material loading of 0.03 mol or less with respect to 100 g of the first porous carrier. That is, the first catalyst powder is one in which the NOx storage material is not substantially supported on the first porous carrier. When the amount of the NOx occlusion material supported exceeds the upper limit, Pt in the first catalyst powder tends to be in an oxide state, and the NOx purification activity of the exhaust gas purification catalyst decreases.

次に、第2触媒粉末について説明する。このような第2触媒粉末は、第2多孔質担体及び前記第2多孔質担体に担持された第2貴金属を備える。このような第2多孔質担体は、基本的には上述の第1多孔質担体と同様のものである。なお、このような第2多孔質担体の材料としての金属酸化物としては、耐熱性、耐硫黄被毒性及びRhとの相性の観点から、ジルコニア、セリア、アルミナ、チタニア、並びに、これらの複合酸化物及び固溶体の中から選択される少なくとも1種であることが好ましい。   Next, the second catalyst powder will be described. Such a second catalyst powder includes a second porous carrier and a second noble metal supported on the second porous carrier. Such a second porous carrier is basically the same as the first porous carrier described above. In addition, as a metal oxide as such a material of the second porous carrier, zirconia, ceria, alumina, titania, and complex oxidation thereof are used from the viewpoint of heat resistance, sulfur poisoning resistance and compatibility with Rh.

Such a second noble metal may be composed of only Rh or may contain other noble metals other than Rh and Rh. By such Rh in the second noble metal, it becomes possible to promote the fourth step of the aforementioned exhaust gas purification process. In addition, examples of other noble metals other than Rh that can be contained in the second noble metal include Pt, Pd, Os, Ir, Au, and the like. From the viewpoint of heat resistance and catalytic activity, It is preferably at least one of Pt and Pd.

The Rh content in the second noble metal is more preferably 65% by mass or more based on the total amount of the second noble metal. When the Rh content in the second noble metal is less than the lower limit, the catalytic activity of the second catalyst powder is lowered, and the NOx purification efficiency of the obtained exhaust gas purification catalyst tends to be lowered.

また、このような第2貴金属の担持量としては、前記第2多孔質担体100gに対して0.05〜3gとすることが好ましく、0.1〜2gとすることがより好ましい。前記第2貴金属の担持量が前記下限未満では、第2貴金属により得られる触媒活性が不十分となって排ガス浄化用触媒のNO浄化活性が低下する傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を越えると、コストが高騰するとともに貴金属の粒成長を十分に抑制することが困難となる傾向にある。なお、このような第2貴金属を前記第2多孔質担体に担持せしめる方法としては特に制限されず、公知の方法を適宜採用することができ、例えば、貴金属の塩(例えば硝酸塩等)を含有する溶液を前記第2多孔質担体に接触せしめて焼成する方法を採用してもよい。 The amount of the second noble metal supported is preferably 0.05 to 3 g, more preferably 0.1 to 2 g, based on 100 g of the second porous carrier. Wherein in the carrying amount of the second noble metal is below the lower limit, there is a tendency that the catalytic activity obtained by the second noble metal becomes insufficient the NO x purification activity of exhaust gas-purifying catalyst decreases, while when it exceeds the upper limit However, as the cost increases, it tends to be difficult to sufficiently suppress the grain growth of the noble metal. In addition, the method for supporting the second noble metal on the second porous carrier is not particularly limited, and a known method can be appropriately employed. For example, a salt of a noble metal (for example, nitrate or the like) is contained. You may employ | adopt the method of making a solution contact the said 2nd porous support | carrier, and baking.

また、前記第2触媒粉末は、NOx吸蔵材の担持量が前記第1多孔質担体100gに対して0.03mol以下のものである。すなわち、第2触媒粉末は、第2多孔質担体にNOx吸蔵材が実質的に担持されていないものである。このようなNOx吸蔵材の担持量が前記上限を超えると、第2触媒粉末中のRhが酸化物状態となり易く、排ガス浄化用触媒のNOx浄化活性が低下する。   The second catalyst powder has a NOx occlusion material loading of 0.03 mol or less with respect to 100 g of the first porous carrier. That is, the second catalyst powder is one in which the NOx storage material is not substantially supported on the second porous carrier. When the amount of the NOx occlusion material supported exceeds the upper limit, Rh in the second catalyst powder tends to be in an oxide state, and the NOx purification activity of the exhaust gas purification catalyst is lowered.

Such a third noble metal may be composed only of Pd or may contain other noble metals other than Pd and Pd. Such Pd in the third noble metal can promote the second and third steps of the exhaust gas purification process described above.

The amount of Pd supported is preferably 0.05 to 6 g and more preferably 0.1 to 3 g with respect to 100 g of the third porous carrier. If the amount of Pd supported is less than the lower limit, the catalytic activity obtained by Pd tends to be insufficient.

また、前記第3貴金属中のPd以外の他の貴金属の担持量としては、前記第3孔質担体100gに対して0.01〜4gとすることが好ましく、0.05〜2gとすることがより好ましい。前記第3貴金属中のPd以外の他の貴金属の担持量が前記下限未満では、貴金属により得られる触媒活性が不十分となって、排ガス浄化用触媒のNO浄化活性が低下する傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を越えると、コストが高騰するとともに貴金属の粒成長を十分に抑制することが困難となる傾向にある。なお、このような第3貴金属を前記第3多孔質担体に担持せしめる方法としては特に制限されず、公知の方法を適宜採用することができ、例えば、貴金属の塩(例えば硝酸塩等)を含有する溶液を前記第3多孔質担体に接触せしめて焼成する方法を採用してもよい。 The amount of the noble metal supported other than Pd in the third noble metal is preferably 0.01 to 4 g, preferably 0.05 to 2 g with respect to 100 g of the third porous carrier.

If the loading amount of the noble metal other than Pd in the third noble metal is less than the lower limit, the catalytic activity obtained by the noble metal becomes insufficient, and the NO x purification activity of the exhaust gas purification catalyst tends to decrease, On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, the cost increases and it tends to be difficult to sufficiently suppress the noble metal grain growth. In addition, the method for supporting the third noble metal on the third porous carrier is not particularly limited, and a known method can be appropriately employed. For example, a salt of a noble metal (for example, nitrate or the like) is contained. You may employ | adopt the method of making a solution contact the said 3rd porous support | carrier, and baking.

Examples of such alkali metal elements include lithium (Li), sodium (Na), potassium (K), and cesium (Cs). Examples of such alkaline earth metal elements include magnesium (Mg), calcium (Ca), strontium (Sr), barium (Ba), and the like. Such an alkali metal has a high NOx occlusion ability in a high temperature range, while an alkaline earth metal has a high NOx occlusion ability in a low temperature range.

以上、第1〜第3触媒粉末について説明したが、以下、このような各触媒粉末を備える本発明の排ガス浄化用触媒の好適な実施形態について説明する。   Although the first to third catalyst powders have been described above, a preferred embodiment of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst of the present invention including such catalyst powders will be described below.

本発明の排ガス浄化用触媒においては、前述の第1〜第3触媒粉末を備えていればよく触媒中における各触媒粉末の含有量は特に制限されるものではないが、各触媒粉末の含有量が以下のような範囲にあることが好ましい。すなわち、先ず、前記第1触媒粉末の含有量としては、前記第1〜第3触媒粉末の総量に対して5〜60質量%であることが好ましく、10〜40質量%であることがより好ましい。このような第1触媒粉末の含有量が前記下限未満ではNOx酸化性能が低下するため、特に低温活性が低下する傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を超えるとNOx吸蔵量が減少するため、特に高温活性が低下する傾向にある。   In the exhaust gas purifying catalyst of the present invention, the content of each catalyst powder in the catalyst is not particularly limited as long as it includes the first to third catalyst powders described above. Is preferably in the following range. That is, first, the content of the first catalyst powder is preferably 5 to 60% by mass and more preferably 10 to 40% by mass with respect to the total amount of the first to third catalyst powders. . If the content of the first catalyst powder is less than the lower limit, the NOx oxidation performance is lowered, so that the low-temperature activity tends to be lowered. The activity tends to decrease.

また、前記第2触媒粉末の含有量としては、前記第1〜第3触媒粉末の総量に対して5〜40質量%であることが好ましく、5〜30質量%であることがより好ましい。このような第2触媒粉末の含有量が前記下限未満ではNOxの還元性能が低下するため、NOx吸蔵材から放出されたNOxの浄化性能が低下する傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を超えるとNOx吸蔵量が減少するため、特に高温活性が低下する傾向にある。   Moreover, as content of the said 2nd catalyst powder, it is preferable that it is 5-40 mass% with respect to the total amount of the said 1st-3rd catalyst powder, and it is more preferable that it is 5-30 mass%. When the content of the second catalyst powder is less than the lower limit, the NOx reduction performance decreases, and therefore the purification performance of NOx released from the NOx storage material tends to decrease. Since the amount of occlusion decreases, the high temperature activity tends to decrease.

さらに、前記第3触媒粉末の含有量としては、前記第1〜第3触媒粉末の総量に対して30〜90質量%であることが好ましく、50〜80質量%であることがより好ましい。このような第3触媒粉末の含有量が前記下限未満ではNOx吸蔵量が減少するため、特に高温活性が低下する傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を超えるとNOx酸化還元活性が低下するため、特に低温活性が低下する傾向にある。   Furthermore, as content of the said 3rd catalyst powder, it is preferable that it is 30-90 mass% with respect to the total amount of the said 1st-3rd catalyst powder, and it is more preferable that it is 50-80 mass%. When the content of the third catalyst powder is less than the lower limit, the NOx occlusion amount decreases, and therefore, particularly high temperature activity tends to decrease. On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, the NOx redox activity decreases, Low temperature activity tends to decrease.

また、このような排ガス浄化用触媒の形態としては特に制限されず、ハニカム形状のモノリス触媒、ペレット形状のペレット触媒等の形態にすることができる。このような形態の排ガス浄化用触媒を製造方法としては特に制限されず、公知の方法を適宜採用することができ、例えば、各触媒粉末の混合物をペレット状に成型して排ガス浄化用触媒を得る方法や、各触媒粉末を含むスラリーを触媒基材にコートして排ガス浄化用触媒を得る方法等を採用してもよい。また、このような触媒基材としては特に制限されず、得られる排ガス浄化用触媒の用途等に応じて適宜選択されるが、DPF基材、モノリス状基材、ペレット状基材、プレート状基材等が好適に採用される。また、このような触媒基材の材質も特に制限されないが、コーディエライト、炭化ケイ素、ムライト等のセラミックスからなる基材や、クロム及びアルミニウムを含むステンレススチール等の金属からなる基材が好適に採用される。   In addition, the form of such an exhaust gas purifying catalyst is not particularly limited, and may be in the form of a honeycomb-shaped monolith catalyst, a pellet-shaped pellet catalyst, or the like. The manufacturing method of the exhaust gas purifying catalyst having such a form is not particularly limited, and a known method can be appropriately adopted. For example, a catalyst for purifying exhaust gas is obtained by molding each catalyst powder mixture into a pellet. A method, a method of obtaining a catalyst for exhaust gas purification by coating a catalyst substrate with a slurry containing each catalyst powder, and the like may be employed. Further, such a catalyst base is not particularly limited and is appropriately selected depending on the use of the obtained exhaust gas purification catalyst, etc., but is not limited to a DPF base, a monolithic base, a pellet base, a plate base. A material or the like is preferably employed. The material of such a catalyst substrate is not particularly limited, but a substrate made of a ceramic such as cordierite, silicon carbide, mullite, or a substrate made of a metal such as stainless steel including chromium and aluminum is preferable. Adopted.

また、前記第1〜第3触媒粉末を前記触媒基材に担持する場合においては、前記触媒基材に担持する前記第1〜第3触媒粉末の総量が、前記触媒基材の容量1Lあたり100〜350g/Lであることが好ましく、150〜300g/Lであることがより好ましい。このような第1〜第3触媒粉末の総量が前記下限未満では、十分な触媒活性を得ることが困難となる傾向にあり、他方、前記上限を超えると、触媒基材の細孔が閉塞して圧損が生じる傾向にある。   Further, when the first to third catalyst powders are supported on the catalyst base, the total amount of the first to third catalyst powders supported on the catalyst base is 100 per liter capacity of the catalyst base. It is preferable that it is -350g / L, and it is more preferable that it is 150-300g / L. When the total amount of the first to third catalyst powders is less than the lower limit, it tends to be difficult to obtain sufficient catalytic activity. On the other hand, when the upper limit is exceeded, pores of the catalyst base material are blocked. Tend to cause pressure loss.

さらに、このような排ガス浄化用触媒においては、下記条件(A)〜(C):
(A)前記第1〜第3触媒粉末が、前記第1触媒粉末に排ガスが接触した後に前記第2触媒粉末及び前記第3触媒粉末に排ガスが接触するように配置されていること、
(B)前記第1〜第3触媒粉末が、前記第1触媒粉末、前記第2触媒粉末、前記第3触媒粉末の順に排ガスが接触するように配置されていること、
(C)前記第1〜第3触媒粉末が、前記第1触媒粉末、前記第3触媒粉末、前記第2触媒粉末の順に排ガスが接触するように配置されていること。
のうちのいずれかの条件を満たすことが好ましい。すなわち、本発明においては、排ガス浄化用触媒に排ガスを接触させる際に最初に第1触媒粉末に排ガスが接触するように、第1〜第3触媒粉末を配置することが好ましい。このように第1触媒粉末に最初に排ガスが接触するように各触媒粉末を配置することにより、排ガスを浄化する際に第1触媒粉末が排ガス中のNOをより効率よく酸化できるため、NOを第2及び第3触媒粉末に効率よく接触させることが可能となる。そのため、前述の排ガス浄化過程の第1〜第4ステップをより効率よく促進させることが可能となる。
Furthermore, in such an exhaust gas purifying catalyst, the following conditions (A) to (C):
(A) The first to third catalyst powders are arranged so that the exhaust gas contacts the second catalyst powder and the third catalyst powder after the exhaust gas contacts the first catalyst powder.

図1に示す結果からも明らかなように本発明の排ガス浄化用触媒(実施例1)においては、300℃の低温の温度条件下においても十分に高度なNOx浄化性能を示すことが確認された。これに対して、比較のための排ガス浄化用触媒(比較例1〜4)においては、NOx浄化性能が十分なものとはならなかった。このような結果から、比較例1〜2で得られた排ガス浄化用触媒においては、全域(全ての多孔質担体)にNOx吸蔵材(Ba)を担持(担持量:担体100gあたり0.03mol超)していたため、NOx吸蔵材によって触媒中のPtやRhの活性が低下し、十分な触媒活性が得られなかったものと推察される。また、比較例3〜4で得られた排ガス浄化用触媒においては、主に、NOx吸蔵材が担持された第3多孔質担体にPdを担持していなかったことから、第3多孔質担体上に担持された貴金属が十分な触媒活性を発揮できず、十分なNOx浄化性能が得られなかったものと推察される。   As is clear from the results shown in FIG. 1, it was confirmed that the exhaust gas purifying catalyst (Example 1) of the present invention exhibits sufficiently high NOx purification performance even under a low temperature condition of 300 ° C. . On the other hand, the exhaust gas purification catalysts for comparison (Comparative Examples 1 to 4) did not have sufficient NOx purification performance. From these results, in the exhaust gas purifying catalysts obtained in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, the NOx occlusion material (Ba) was supported on the entire region (all porous supports) (supported amount: more than 0.03 mol per 100 g of support). Therefore, it is presumed that the NOx occlusion material decreased the activities of Pt and Rh in the catalyst and did not provide sufficient catalytic activity. Further, in the exhaust gas purifying catalysts obtained in Comparative Examples 3 to 4, Pd was not supported on the third porous support on which the NOx occlusion material was supported. It is presumed that the noble metal supported on the catalyst could not exhibit sufficient catalytic activity, and sufficient NOx purification performance could not be obtained.

It is presumed that the NOx occlusion material decreased the activity of Pt and Rh in the catalyst, and sufficient catalytic activity was not obtained. Further, in the exhaust gas purifying catalysts obtained in Comparative Examples 6-7, Pd was not supported on the third porous support on which the NOx occlusion material was supported. It is presumed that the noble metal supported on the catalyst could not exhibit sufficient catalytic activity, and sufficient NOx purification performance could not be obtained.
