Description

本発明は、白金及びセリアを含む貴金属触媒とその製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a noble metal catalyst containing platinum and ceria and a method for producing the same.

近年、内燃機関、ボイラー等の排気ガス中の微粒子や有害物質は、環境への影響を考慮して排気ガス中から除去する必要性が高まりつつあり、各種排ガス浄化技術が提案されている。例えば、自動車の排気系には、酸化触媒、三元触媒、NO吸蔵還元型触媒等が配置され、主として貴金属の触媒作用によって排ガス中のNO、HC、CO等の有害成分を浄化している。特に、酸化触媒としては、例えば、アルミナやシリカ等の担体に酸化活性の高い白金(Pt)を担持したものが知られている。 In recent years, there has been an increasing need to remove particulates and harmful substances in exhaust gas from internal combustion engines, boilers, and the like from the exhaust gas in consideration of environmental effects, and various exhaust gas purification technologies have been proposed. For example, the exhaust system of an automobile, an oxidation catalyst, three-way catalyst, NO X storage reduction catalyst and the like are arranged, to purify NO X in the exhaust gas, HC, harmful components such as CO mainly by the catalytic action of the noble metal Yes. In particular, as an oxidation catalyst, for example, a catalyst in which platinum (Pt) having high oxidation activity is supported on a carrier such as alumina or silica is known.

従来、多孔質セラミックス材料などの触媒担体に触媒金属を担持させるには、金属水溶液を用いた通常の含浸法による方法の他に、金属分散性を高めるために金属アルコキシドを用いたゾルゲル法が報告されている。従来のゾルゲル法によるアルミナ担持白金触媒の作製には、まずアルミニウムのアルコキシドをエステル系やジオル系のキレート剤で保護してからアルコール等の有機溶媒に溶解し、白金錯体塩と少量の水、触媒等と一緒に密閉容器に加え、場合によっては1週間ほど加温して徐々にアルミニウムの加水分解・ゲル化・ゲル熟成を進行させていた。   Conventionally, to support a catalytic metal on a catalyst carrier such as a porous ceramic material, a sol-gel method using a metal alkoxide to improve metal dispersibility has been reported in addition to a conventional impregnation method using a metal aqueous solution. Has been. In the preparation of an alumina-supported platinum catalyst by the conventional sol-gel method, an aluminum alkoxide is first protected with an ester-based or diol-based chelating agent and then dissolved in an organic solvent such as an alcohol, and then a platinum complex salt, a small amount of water, a catalyst. In some cases, it was heated for about a week, and the hydrolysis, gelation, and gel aging of aluminum were gradually advanced.

しかしながら、アルミニウムのアルコキシドは、加水分解速度が非常に高く、シリコンのそれに比べてその制御が難しいため、水分量や温度等を厳密に管理しながら、キレート剤で保護された有機溶媒中のアルミニウムアルコキシドを徐々に加水分解・重合させる、というデリケートな方法を採らざるを得なかった。   However, aluminum alkoxide has a very high hydrolysis rate and is difficult to control compared to that of silicon. Therefore, aluminum alkoxide in an organic solvent protected with a chelating agent while strictly controlling the amount of water and temperature is used. Therefore, the delicate method of gradually hydrolyzing and polymerizing the water must be taken.

しかも、上記アルコキシドを用いた従来のアルミナ系触媒の調製では、高価で危険な有機溶媒を使用し、且つ長時間掛けてゲル化を進行させる等、実用化に向けて多くの困難が立ちはだかっていた。更に、この方法で作製したゲルを凍結乾燥するためには、ゲル中の有機溶媒を水に置換する必要があり、その際、ゲルの破壊や白金金属イオンがゲルから流出してしまうという問題があった。   Moreover, in the preparation of the conventional alumina-based catalyst using the alkoxide, there are many difficulties for practical use, such as using an expensive and dangerous organic solvent and allowing the gelation to proceed for a long time. . Furthermore, in order to freeze-dry the gel produced by this method, it is necessary to replace the organic solvent in the gel with water, and in that case, there is a problem that the gel is broken or platinum metal ions flow out from the gel. there were.

そこで、上記問題を解決するため、本出願人は、先に、高表面積、高気孔率及び高耐熱性を有し、500〜700℃の雰囲気下で白金微粒子のシンタリングが抑制される貴金属触媒、及びその貴金属触媒を安全且つ低コストで製造することができる貴金属触媒の製造方法を提案した(特願2006−47974号)。
上記提案は、白金粒子の高い耐熱性とともに、高い触媒活性を有する点から優れたものであるが、更なる改良の要請がある。
Therefore, in order to solve the above problem, the present applicant has previously described a noble metal catalyst that has a high surface area, a high porosity, and a high heat resistance, and suppresses sintering of platinum fine particles in an atmosphere of 500 to 700 ° C. And a method for producing a noble metal catalyst that can be produced safely and at low cost (Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-47974).
The above proposal is excellent in terms of having high catalytic activity as well as high heat resistance of platinum particles, but there is a demand for further improvement.

本発明は、上述した従来技術の問題点に鑑みてなされたものであり、その目的とするところは、特願2006−47974号で提案した貴金属触媒について更に改良し、高い濃度の白金粒子を添加しても、ルミナクリオゲル(多孔質アルミナ構造体)の比表面積を大きく維持向上させるとともに、800℃の雰囲気下でも白金粒子が高い耐熱性を有するような貴金属触媒とその製造方法を提供することにある。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems of the prior art. The object of the present invention is to further improve the noble metal catalyst proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-47974, and to add high concentration platinum particles. also, with greatly maintain and improve the specific surface area of the alumina cryogel (porous alumina structure), a process for its preparation and a noble metal catalyst such as a platinum particles has high heat resistance even in an atmosphere of 800 ° C. There is.

本発明の貴金属触媒は、5質量%程度の高い濃度の白金粒子を添加した場合であっても、得られるルミナクリオゲル(多孔質アルミナ構造体)の比表面積を大きくでき、しかも800℃の高温雰囲気下でも白金粒子が高い耐熱性を有するという優れた効果を奏する。また、本発明の製造方法は、このような特性を有する貴金属触媒を効率的に製造することができる。 Noble metal catalyst of the present invention, even when added platinum particles of as high as 5% strength by weight, can increase the specific surface area of the resulting Alumina cryogel (porous alumina structure), addition of 800 ° C. Even under a high temperature atmosphere, the platinum particles have an excellent effect that they have high heat resistance. Further, the production method of the present invention can efficiently produce a noble metal catalyst having such characteristics.

以下、本発明の貴金属触媒及びその製造方法について詳細に説明するが、本発明は、これに限定されて解釈されるものではなく、本発明の範囲を逸脱しない限りにおいて、当業者の知識に基づいて、種々の変更、修正、改良を加え得るものである。   Hereinafter, the noble metal catalyst of the present invention and the method for producing the same will be described in detail. However, the present invention is not construed as being limited thereto, and is based on the knowledge of those skilled in the art without departing from the scope of the present invention. Various changes, modifications, and improvements can be added.

本発明は、特願2006−47974号で提案した貴金属触媒の改良である。
特願2006−47974号で提案した貴金属触媒は、白金微粒子のゲル中への埋没度が45〜60%(より好ましくは、50〜55%であり、且つ500〜700℃(より好ましくは、600〜700℃)の雰囲気下で白金微粒子のシンタリングが抑制されるとともに、高温耐熱性を有するものである。尚、本発明の貴金属触媒はクリオゲルであることが好ましい。
The present invention is an improvement of the noble metal catalyst proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-47974.
The noble metal catalyst proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-47974 has an embedded degree of platinum fine particles in the gel of 45 to 60% (more preferably 50 to 55% and 500 to 700 ° C. (more preferably 600). Sintering of the platinum fine particles is suppressed under an atmosphere of ˜700 ° C. and has high temperature heat resistance, and the noble metal catalyst of the present invention is preferably a cryogel.

上記の貴金属触媒においては、ベーマイトゾルと塩化白金酸を出発原料としたゾルゲル工程とそれに引き続く凍結乾燥工程により得られたPt/Alクリオゲル触媒(Pt=0.5〜5質量%)が、従来触媒に比較して白金粒子の高い耐熱性(500〜700℃)を有するものであった。これは約1nmの白金微粒子が埋没度:45〜60%の割合でアルミナゲル中に埋め込まれ、この適度な埋め込みが白金微粒子の高い耐熱性を与えたものと考えられている。また、このクリオゲル触媒は、疑似大気中でのメタン酸化反応において高い触媒活性(すなわち低温でのより高い触媒活性)を示した。これは白金微粒子のアルミナクリオゲル担体上への高分散化により白金の表面露出率が向上し、またこの微粒子は上述のごとく耐熱性に優れ、高温焼成でも高い露出率を維持するため、と考えられた。 In the noble metal catalyst, a Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel catalyst (Pt = 0.5 to 5% by mass) obtained by a sol-gel process using boehmite sol and chloroplatinic acid as starting materials and a subsequent freeze-drying process is used. The platinum particles had higher heat resistance (500 to 700 ° C.) than the conventional catalysts. It is considered that about 1 nm of platinum fine particles are embedded in alumina gel at a ratio of burying degree: 45 to 60%, and this moderate embedding gives high heat resistance of the platinum fine particles. Moreover, this cryogel catalyst showed high catalytic activity (that is, higher catalytic activity at low temperature) in the methane oxidation reaction in a simulated atmosphere. This is because the platinum surface exposure rate is improved by high dispersion of platinum fine particles on the alumina cryogel support, and the fine particles have excellent heat resistance as described above, and maintain a high exposure rate even at high temperature firing. It was.

一方、本発明者が更に実験を進めたところ、添加する白金濃度が高くなると(〜5質量
%)、アルミナクリオゲル担体のBET比表面積が小さくなることが判明した。担体の性能低下は長時間の触媒反応における触媒能の低下にもつながり、解決しなければならない重要な問題である。
On the other hand, when the present inventors further advanced the experiment, it was found that the BET specific surface area of the alumina cryogel support decreases as the platinum concentration to be added increases (˜5 mass%). The decrease in the performance of the support also leads to a decrease in the catalytic performance in a long-time catalytic reaction, which is an important problem to be solved.

また、クリオゲル触媒の白金粒子の耐熱性も、白金濃度が高くなると(〜5質量%)、800℃の高温雰囲気では白金粒子のシンタリングが著しく、自動車排ガス触媒など、より高温での耐久性が求められるシステムへの適用が難しくなるという問題も発生する。   Also, the heat resistance of the platinum particles of the cryogel catalyst is such that when the platinum concentration increases (˜5 mass%), the sintering of the platinum particles is remarkable at a high temperature atmosphere of 800 ° C., and the durability at a higher temperature such as an automobile exhaust gas catalyst is high. There is also a problem that it is difficult to apply to the required system.

そこで、本発明者は、基本成分特願2006−47974号で提案した貴金属触媒と同じく、Pt(活性金属種)とAl(担体)である白金−アルミナ系クリオゲル触媒に対し、第三成分を助触媒として導入することによって、上記問題の解決を目指した。 Therefore, the present inventor has compared the platinum-alumina cryogel catalyst whose basic components are Pt (active metal species) and Al 2 O 3 (support) as in the noble metal catalyst proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-47974. By introducing the three components as cocatalysts, we aimed to solve the above problems.

第三成分の選択にあたり、本発明者はいろいろな角度から検討した結果、セリウムに着目するに至り、セリウムを助触媒としてクリオゲルに導入することにより上記問題を解決できることを見出し、本発明を完成したものである。   In selecting the third component, the present inventors have studied from various angles. As a result, the inventors have focused on cerium, and found that the above problem can be solved by introducing cerium into the cryogel as a co-catalyst, thereby completing the present invention. Is.

本発明の貴金属触媒は、白金(Pt)とセリア(CeO)を含む、多孔質アルミナ構造体からなっている。ここで、白金の含有量は0.5〜8質量%が好ましく、1.0〜5質量%がより好ましい。また、本発明の貴金属触媒では、白金の含有量が3.0〜5質量%と高濃度になっても、多孔質アルミナ構造体の比表面積は低下せず、維持向上される。なお、白金の含有量が0.5質量%未満では触媒効果が低く、一方、白金の含有量が8質量%を超えると、多孔質アルミナ構造体の比表面積の低下や耐熱性の低下が生じ、好ましくない。 The noble metal catalyst of the present invention comprises a porous alumina structure containing platinum (Pt) and ceria (CeO 2 ). Here, the platinum content is preferably 0.5 to 8% by mass, and more preferably 1.0 to 5% by mass. Further, in the noble metal catalyst of the present invention, even when the platinum content is as high as 3.0 to 5% by mass, the specific surface area of the porous alumina structure is not lowered and maintained and improved. When the platinum content is less than 0.5% by mass, the catalytic effect is low. On the other hand, when the platinum content exceeds 8% by mass, the specific surface area and heat resistance of the porous alumina structure are reduced. Is not preferable.

セリアの含有量としては1〜50質量%が好ましく、5〜40質量%がより好ましい。セリアの含有量が1質量%未満の場合、セリア添加の効果が低く、一方、セリアの含有量が50質量%を超えると、比表面積が低下して担体である多孔質アルミナ構造体の耐熱性が低下するという問題がある。   As content of ceria, 1-50 mass% is preferable, and 5-40 mass% is more preferable. When the content of ceria is less than 1% by mass, the effect of adding ceria is low. On the other hand, when the content of ceria exceeds 50% by mass, the specific surface area decreases and the heat resistance of the porous alumina structure as a carrier There is a problem that decreases.

本発明の貴金属触媒は耐熱性に優れており、800℃の雰囲気下で白金のシンタリングが、白金(Pt)を含み、セリア(CeO )を含まないアルミナクリオゲルからなる貴金属触媒と比較して抑制されるという効果を奏するものである。 The noble metal catalyst of the present invention is excellent in heat resistance, and compared with a noble metal catalyst made of alumina cryogel containing platinum (Pt) and containing no ceria (CeO 2 ) in platinum sintering under an atmosphere of 800 ° C. in which an effect that is suppressed by.

次に、本発明に係る貴金属触媒は、白金及びセリウムを含むベーマイトゾルを調製した後、このべーマイトゾルをゲル化し、次いで凍結乾燥することにより、多孔質アルミナ構造体からなる貴金属触媒を得ることにより、製造できる。   Next, the noble metal catalyst according to the present invention is prepared by preparing a boehmite sol containing platinum and cerium, then gelling the boehmite sol and then freeze-drying to obtain a noble metal catalyst comprising a porous alumina structure. Can be manufactured.

上記製造方法において重要な技術的事項は、セリウムイオンがベーマイトゾルに含まれると、白金溶液を投入する際にゲル化速度が速まり、最終的に均一な混合ゲルが得られにくい、という点にある。   An important technical matter in the above production method is that when cerium ions are contained in the boehmite sol, the gelation speed increases when a platinum solution is added, and it is difficult to finally obtain a uniform mixed gel. is there.

そこで、セリウム導入の直前工程にあたるベーマイトゾル解こうプロセスにおいて、解こう目的に加える硝酸などの酸の添加量を増やして溶液をより酸性に傾けておくことで、白金溶液添加時の瞬時ゲル化を抑制した。   Therefore, in the boehmite sol peptization process, which is the process immediately before the introduction of cerium, increasing the amount of acid such as nitric acid added for the purpose of peptization and tilting the solution to make it more acidic allows instant gelation when adding a platinum solution. Suppressed.

すなわち、本発明の製造方法では、白金及びセリウムの添加前に、ベーマイトゾルに、酸をベーマイトに対して0.17〜0.70(酸/ベーマイトのモル比)の割合で添加することが好ましい。酸/ベーマイトのモル比は、0.30〜0.60がさらに好ましい。
なお、添加する酸としては特に限定されず、硝酸のほか、塩酸、硫酸などの無機酸を用いることができる。
That is, in the production method of the present invention, it is preferable to add acid to the boehmite sol at a ratio of 0.17 to 0.70 (molar ratio of acid / boehmite) to boehmite before adding platinum and cerium. . The acid / boehmite molar ratio is more preferably 0.30 to 0.60.
In addition, it does not specifically limit as an acid to add, In addition to nitric acid, inorganic acids, such as hydrochloric acid and a sulfuric acid, can be used.

次に、本発明の貴金属触媒の製造方法の一例として、主組成がアルミナ(Al)で構成され、且つ白金(Pt)及びセリア(CeO)が分散された貴金属触媒(Pt/Alクリオゲル)について説明する。上記Pt/Alクリオゲルの製造方法は、大まかな工程として、(1)ゾル化工程、(2)白金錯体化工程、(3)ゲル化工程、(4)乾燥工程から構成される。 Next, as an example of the method for producing a noble metal catalyst of the present invention, a noble metal catalyst (Pt / Al) in which the main composition is composed of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) and platinum (Pt) and ceria (CeO 2 ) are dispersed. 2 O 3 cryogel) will be described.

On the other hand, 1 to 50% by mass of cerium nitrate is collected based on CeO 2 and dissolved in an aqueous solution containing ethylene glycol. This solution is added to the boehmite sol and stirred.

(2)白金錯体化工程
白金錯体化工程は、ジカルボン酸系キレート剤を含む水溶液に、アンモニア水溶液を加えた溶液を調整後、白金酸(HCPA:ヘキサクロロ白金酸六水和物[H(PtCl)・6HO])から構成された白金ソースを投入し、沈殿物を生成させ、これを所定の温度で加熱・攪拌することにより、沈殿物が溶けて、均一な白金錯体溶液(白金ソース)を作製する。

The platinum content of the synthesized Pt / CeO 2 —Al 2 O 3 cryogel catalyst is 5.0 mass%, and the ceria content is 1.0 to 50.0 mass%, and the ceria content is 1 0.0% by mass (Example 1), 5.0% by mass (Example 2), 10.0% by mass (Example 3), 20.0% by mass (Example 4), 30.0% by mass (implementation) Example 5) 40.0 mass% (Example 6) and 50.0 mass% (Example 7).

また、比較例として、Alクリオゲル(比較例1)、白金含有量が5.0質量%のPt/Alクリオゲル触媒(比較例2)、白金含有量が5.0質量%の含浸法によるPt/Al触媒(比較例3)を用いた。 Moreover, as a comparative example, Al 2 O 3 cryogel (Comparative Example 1), Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel catalyst having a platinum content of 5.0% by mass (Comparative Example 2), and platinum content of 5.0% by mass A Pt / Al 2 O 3 catalyst (Comparative Example 3) was used.

(1)BET比表面積の測定(図1)
図1は5質量%−Pt/AlクリオゲルにCeOを1〜30質量%添加したときのBET比表面積を示している。また、比較のためにAlクリオゲル(比較例1)、あるいはCeOを添加しないPt/Alクリオゲル(比較例2)のBET比表面積も示した。比較例1と比較例2を比べてわかるように、Alクリオゲルに5質量%の白金を導入すると比表面積の低下が著しい。しかしながら、CeOを添加することにより比表面積の増大が認められ(実施例1〜5)、5.0質量%のCeO添加(実施例2)では、白金を含まないAlクリオゲル(比較例1)よりも高い比表面積を有する結果となった。すなわち、第三成分としてセリアを導入することにより、白金の高濃度導入で通常見られるクリオゲル触媒の比表面積低下をくい止めることが可能となったことがわかる。
(1) Measurement of BET specific surface area (Fig. 1)
FIG. 1 shows the BET specific surface area when 1 to 30% by mass of CeO 2 is added to 5% by mass-Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel. For comparison, the BET specific surface area of Al 2 O 3 cryogel (Comparative Example 1) or Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel not added with CeO 2 (Comparative Example 2) is also shown. As can be seen by comparing Comparative Example 1 and Comparative Example 2, when 5 mass% platinum is introduced into the Al 2 O 3 cryogel, the specific surface area is significantly reduced. However, an increase in specific surface area was observed by adding CeO 2 (Examples 1 to 5), and when 5.0 mass% of CeO 2 was added (Example 2), Al 2 O 3 cryogel containing no platinum ( The result was that it had a higher specific surface area than Comparative Example 1). That is, it can be seen that by introducing ceria as the third component, it was possible to prevent the decrease in the specific surface area of the cryogel catalyst that is normally observed when introducing a high concentration of platinum.

なお、BET比表面積は、日本Bel(株)製のBelsorp Mini(比表面積・細孔分布測定装置)を用い、液体窒素温度でのN吸着等温線から算出した。 The BET specific surface area was calculated from the N 2 adsorption isotherm at liquid nitrogen temperature using Belsorb Mini (specific surface area / pore distribution measuring device) manufactured by Bel Japan Co., Ltd.

(2)X線回折(XRD)による白金の高温耐熱性の測定(図2)
図2は5質量%−Pt/AlクリオゲルにCeOを30〜50質量%添加したもの(実施例5〜7)を800℃で焼成したときのXRDスペクトルを示す。CeOを添加しないもの(比較例2)では、800℃焼成で白金の鋭いピークが観察され、白金の焼結が進んでいることが示唆されたが、セリアを添加すること(実施例5〜7)によって高温下でも白金の焼結が抑制されたことがわかる。このように、セリアを助触媒として選択することにより、特願2006−47974号で提案した貴金属触媒(セリアなし)に比して、貴金属触媒の耐熱性を約100℃向上させることが可能となった。
(2) Measurement of high-temperature heat resistance of platinum by X-ray diffraction (XRD) (Fig. 2)
FIG. 2 shows the XRD spectrum when 5 mass% -Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel added with 30-50 mass% of CeO 2 (Examples 5-7) was baked at 800 ° C. In the case where CeO 2 was not added (Comparative Example 2), a sharp peak of platinum was observed by firing at 800 ° C., suggesting that platinum was being sintered, but ceria was added (Examples 5 to 5). 7) that the sintering of platinum was suppressed even at high temperatures. Thus, by selecting ceria as a co-catalyst, the heat resistance of the noble metal catalyst can be improved by about 100 ° C. as compared with the noble metal catalyst proposed in Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-47974 (without ceria). It was.

(3)クリオゲル触媒を用いたメタンの酸化活性評価(図3)
図3は5質量%−Pt/AlクリオゲルにCeOを5〜50質量%添加したもの(実施例2〜7)を触媒として、疑似大気雰囲気下でメタンの酸化活性を調べた結果を示す。比較例としてCeOを添加しない5.0質量%−Pt/Alクリオゲル触媒(比較例2)、あるいは市販アルミナを用いて含浸法により作製した5質量%−Pt/Al触媒(比較例3)も同様に触媒活性を調べた。セリアを含まないPt/Alクリオゲル触媒(比較例2)は同じくセリアを含まない含浸法触媒(比較例3)より高い活性を示し、約100℃ほど反応温度を低下させた。このPt/Alクリオゲル触媒にCeOを添加することにより、触媒活性のさらなる増大が見られた(実施例2〜7)。最適量である約20質量%のセリアを添加すること(実施例4)により、セリア
を含まないクリオゲル触媒(比較例2)と比較して約50℃の触媒反応の低温化、すわなち触媒性能の向上が認められた。
(3) Evaluation of methane oxidation activity using cryogel catalyst (Fig. 3)
FIG. 3 shows the result of examining the oxidation activity of methane in a simulated atmospheric atmosphere using 5 mass% -Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel added with 5 to 50 mass% of CeO 2 (Examples 2 to 7) as a catalyst. Indicates. As a comparative example, a 5.0 mass% -Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel catalyst (Comparative Example 2) without adding CeO 2 or a 5 mass% -Pt / Al 2 O 3 catalyst prepared by impregnation using commercially available alumina. (Comparative Example 3) was also examined for catalytic activity. The Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel catalyst not containing ceria (Comparative Example 2) showed higher activity than the impregnation catalyst not containing ceria (Comparative Example 3), and the reaction temperature was lowered by about 100 ° C. By adding CeO 2 to this Pt / Al 2 O 3 cryogel catalyst, a further increase in catalytic activity was seen (Examples 2-7). By adding about 20% by mass of ceria which is the optimum amount (Example 4), the temperature of the catalytic reaction is lowered by about 50 ° C. compared to the cryogel catalyst not containing ceria (Comparative Example 2), that is, the catalyst. An improvement in performance was observed.
