Definitions
- the invention relates generally to a catalyst composition and particularly to a catalyst composition and system for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) through selective catalytic reduction (SCR).
- NOx nitrogen oxides
- SCR selective catalytic reduction
- NOx nitrogen oxides
- hydrocarbons serve as the reductants for NOx conversion.
- Hydrocarbons employed for HC-SCR include relatively small molecules like methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, and propylene, as well as longer linear hydrocarbons like hexane, octane, etc., or branched hydrocarbons like iso-octane.
- the injection of several types of hydrocarbons has been explored in some heavy-duty diesel engines to supplement the HC in the exhaust stream. From an infrastructure point of view, it would be advantageous to employ an on-board diesel fuel as the hydrocarbon source for HC-SCR.
- sulfur in the fuel gets converted to sulfur dioxide (SO 2 ), which poisons some catalysts.
- Further poisoning happens from the formation of base metal sulfates from the components of a catalyst composition, which sulfates can act as a reservoir for poisoning sulfur species within the catalyst.
- the SCR catalysts When the SCR catalysts absorb the NOx in the exhaust gas, they also absorb sulfur oxides (SOx) in the exhaust gas. The sulfur oxides poison the catalysts, and the NOx absorption performance declines as the poisoning by SOx increases. Therefore, there is a need to reduce sulfur absorption by the SCR catalysts and prevent catalyst degradation.
- SOx sulfur oxides
- a catalyst composition in one embodiment, includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores, a catalyst material having a catalyst metal and disposed on the substrate, and a sulfur scavenger having an alkali metal and disposed on the substrate.
- a method of preparation of a catalyst composition includes combining a metal oxide precursor, a catalyst metal precursor and an alkali metal precursor in the presence of a templating agent, hydrolyzing and condensing to form an intermediate product that includes metal oxide, alkali metal oxide, and catalyst metal, and then calcining to form a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores and includes an alkali metal oxide and catalyst metal.
- a catalytic reduction system in one embodiment, includes a catalyst support and a catalyst composition disposed on a catalyst support.
- the catalyst composition that includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores, a catalyst material having a catalyst metal and disposed on the substrate, and a sulfur scavenger having an alkali metal and disposed on the substrate.
- a system in one embodiment, includes an internal combustion engine, and a catalytic reduction system disposed to receive an exhaust stream from the engine.
- the catalytic reduction system includes a catalyst support and a catalyst composition disposed on a catalyst support.
- the catalyst composition includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores, a catalyst material having a catalyst metal and disposed on the substrate, and a sulfur scavenger having an alkali metal and disposed on the substrate.
- a method of removing sulfur from a catalytic reduction system includes passing an exhaust stream from an internal combustion engine over a catalyst composition.
- the catalyst composition includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate, a catalyst material comprising a catalyst metal, and a sulfur scavenger.
- the exhaust stream reacts with the catalyst composition to form sulfates; the sulfates decompose to produce sulfur oxides that are eventually removed from the catalytic reduction system.

Abstract
A catalyst composition, a method of preparation of catalyst composition, a catalytic reduction system including the catalyst composition and a system using the catalytic reduction system are provided. The catalyst composition includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate, a catalyst material, and a sulfur scavenger material. The catalyst material includes a catalyst metal disposed on the templated metal oxide substrate and the sulfur scavenger includes an alkali metal.
Description
- The invention relates generally to a catalyst composition and particularly to a catalyst composition and system for reducing nitrogen oxides (NOx) through selective catalytic reduction (SCR).
- Exhaust streams generated by the combustion of fossil fuels in, for example, furnaces, ovens, and engines, contain nitrogen oxides (NOx) that are undesirable pollutants. There is a growing need to have efficient and robust emission treatment systems to treat the NOx emissions.
- In selective catalytic reduction (SCR) using hydrocarbons (HC), hydrocarbons serve as the reductants for NOx conversion. Hydrocarbons employed for HC-SCR include relatively small molecules like methane, ethane, ethylene, propane, and propylene, as well as longer linear hydrocarbons like hexane, octane, etc., or branched hydrocarbons like iso-octane. The injection of several types of hydrocarbons has been explored in some heavy-duty diesel engines to supplement the HC in the exhaust stream. From an infrastructure point of view, it would be advantageous to employ an on-board diesel fuel as the hydrocarbon source for HC-SCR.
- Fuels, including gasoline or diesel fuels containing sulfur lead to a number of disadvantages when trying to clean the exhaust gases by some form of catalytic after-treatment. During the combustion process, sulfur in the fuel gets converted to sulfur dioxide (SO2), which poisons some catalysts. Further poisoning happens from the formation of base metal sulfates from the components of a catalyst composition, which sulfates can act as a reservoir for poisoning sulfur species within the catalyst.
- When the SCR catalysts absorb the NOx in the exhaust gas, they also absorb sulfur oxides (SOx) in the exhaust gas. The sulfur oxides poison the catalysts, and the NOx absorption performance declines as the poisoning by SOx increases. Therefore, there is a need to reduce sulfur absorption by the SCR catalysts and prevent catalyst degradation.
- In one embodiment, a catalyst composition is presented. The catalyst composition includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores, a catalyst material having a catalyst metal and disposed on the substrate, and a sulfur scavenger having an alkali metal and disposed on the substrate.
- In one embodiment, a method of preparation of a catalyst composition is presented. The method includes combining a metal oxide precursor, a catalyst metal precursor and an alkali metal precursor in the presence of a templating agent, hydrolyzing and condensing to form an intermediate product that includes metal oxide, alkali metal oxide, and catalyst metal, and then calcining to form a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores and includes an alkali metal oxide and catalyst metal.
- In one embodiment, a catalytic reduction system is presented. The catalytic reduction system includes a catalyst support and a catalyst composition disposed on a catalyst support. The catalyst composition that includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores, a catalyst material having a catalyst metal and disposed on the substrate, and a sulfur scavenger having an alkali metal and disposed on the substrate.
- In one embodiment, a system is provided. The system includes an internal combustion engine, and a catalytic reduction system disposed to receive an exhaust stream from the engine. The catalytic reduction system includes a catalyst support and a catalyst composition disposed on a catalyst support. The catalyst composition includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores, a catalyst material having a catalyst metal and disposed on the substrate, and a sulfur scavenger having an alkali metal and disposed on the substrate.
- In one embodiment, a method of removing sulfur from a catalytic reduction system is presented. The method includes passing an exhaust stream from an internal combustion engine over a catalyst composition. The catalyst composition includes a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate, a catalyst material comprising a catalyst metal, and a sulfur scavenger. During operation, the exhaust stream reacts with the catalyst composition to form sulfates; the sulfates decompose to produce sulfur oxides that are eventually removed from the catalytic reduction system.

- In a method of preparing the catalyst composition, a metal oxide precursor, a catalyst metal precursor and an alkali metal precursor are reacted in the presence of a templating agent by hydrolysis and condensation to form an intermediate that includes the metal oxide, alkali metal oxide, and catalyst metal. This intermediate is then calcined to form a catalyst composition including a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate having a plurality of pores, an alkali metal oxide, and catalyst metal. In one embodiment, the method described results in a catalyst composition, in which the alkali metal sulfur scavenger cation and the catalyst metal are dispersed in an intermixed form in the substrate metal oxide.

- The templating agents serve as templates and may facilitate the production of catalyst composition including templated amorphous substrate materials, catalyst metal, and alkali metals. The catalyst composition obtained by the calcination of an intermediate product containing metal oxide-alkali metal oxide and catalyst metal may contain directionally aligned pores. Control of the pore characteristic may, in turn, provide control of the particle size of catalytic metal by reducing the catalytic metal lability or propensity to agglomerate. The particle size of catalytic metal may be controlled, with respect to pore formation of the porous template, by controlling or affecting one or more of pore size, pore distribution, pore spacing, or pore dispersity.
- In one embodiment, the calcination is conducted at temperatures in a range from about 350 degrees Centigrade to about 800 degrees Centigrade. In another embodiment, the calcination is conducted at temperatures in a range from about 400 degrees Centigrade to about 700 degrees Centigrade.

- In a method of removing sulfur from a catalytic reduction system, an exhaust stream is passed from an exhaust source, such as an internal combustion engine, over the catalyst composition that includes, as described previously, a templated amorphous metal oxide substrate, a catalyst material, and a sulfur scavenger. The exhaust stream reacts with the catalyst composition to form sulfates. During a desulfation step, the sulfate formed decomposes to produce sulfur oxides, which are removed from the system. In one embodiment, desulfation comprises exposing the catalyst to a reducing environment at an effective combination of time and temperature to decompose sulfur-containing species on the catalyst into gaseous sulfur-containing species, such as sulfur oxide species, leaving behind sulfur scavenging solid species (such as alkali metal oxide) on the catalyst.
- Without being limited by theory, the inventors envisage a preferential reactivity of sulfur scavenger to the sulfur, in comparison with the catalyst metal reactivity with sulfur. In one embodiment, the sulfur scavenger preferentially reacts with the sulfur to form an alkali metal-sulfur compound. In one embodiment, the alkali metal sulfur scavenger reacts with the SO2 gas and forms alkali metal sulfates preferentially over forming catalyst metal sulfate. In one example, the catalyst composition includes templated amorphous alumina as a substrate, silver as a catalyst, and lithium as a sulfur scavenger; the lithium cation reacts with SO2 gas preferentially relative to silver or alumina, to form lithium sulfate. In general, the lithium sulfate is more easily decomposable compared to silver sulfate. Therefore, during operation, the lithium sulfate formed will readily decompose to release SO2 gas during desulfation. In one embodiment, desulfation is carried out by flowing an excess amount of reductant (Cl:N>10) through the catalytic system in the absence of either O2 or NO at elevated temperatures, for example, from about 300° C.-650° C. In one embodiment, the catalyst was subjected to 5 ppm of SO2 for 8 hours and subjected to desulfation. The desulfation method was able to remove greater than 90% of SO2 at 650° C. when O2 was absent and about 70%-80% of SO2 at 650° C. when NO was absent. The desulfation conditions are unfavorable to re-absorb SO2 gas by lithium, silver or alumina, and therefore the SO2 gas exits the reduction system.
- While testing the performance of the catalyst system, inventors surprisingly noticed that the alkali metal sulfur scavengers further assist in reducing undesirable byproducts of emission treatment released from the emission treatment system. By using alkali metal sulfur scavengers, more than 50% reduction in emission of HCN, CH3CHO, and HCHO are recorded in the emission treatment system.
- Along with substrate, catalyst metal, and sulfur scavenger, the catalyst composition may also include a promoter for the catalytic reaction of nitrogen oxide reduction. Non-limiting examples of the promoter may include various metals or metal oxides. The promoter may include one or more of indium, gallium, tin, silver, manganese, molybdenum, chromium, germanium, cobalt, nickel, gold, copper, iron, and their oxides. In one embodiment, the sulfur scavenger alkali metal additionally acts as a promoter.
- Along with the metals and metal oxides mentioned above, the catalyst composition may further have additional cations dispersed or disposed on the catalyst substrate that enhance hydrothermal stability of the composition and/or the catalytic activity of the catalyst metal. In one embodiment, one or more additional cations may be selected from the group consisting of zirconium, iron, gallium, indium, tungsten, zinc, platinum, and rhodium. In one embodiment, the additional dopant comprises zirconium.
- In one embodiment, the catalyst composition can be included in fabricating a catalytic surface. In one embodiment, the catalyst composition can be shaped and formed as a catalyst surface. In another embodiment, a slurry of the catalyst composition in a liquid medium can be formed and contacted with a catalyst support to form a catalytic reduction system with a washcoated monolith catalyst. Therefore, in one embodiment, the catalytic reduction system comprises the catalyst support and the catalytic composition comprising the templated amorphous metal oxide substrate and the catalyst material.
- A catalyst support can be in any form including foams, monoliths, and honeycombs. Suitable materials for the catalyst support include ceramics and metals. Examples of ceramics include oxides, such as alumina, silica, titanate compounds, as well as refractory oxides, cordierite, mullite, and zeolite. Other examples include metal carbides and metal nitrides. Carbon may be useful in some embodiments. In specific embodiments, the catalyst support includes silicon carbide, fused silica, activated carbon, or aluminum titanate. Zeolite, as used herein, includes hydrated aluminosilicates, such as analcime, chabazite, heulandite, natrolite, phillipsite, and stilbite. Mullite, as used herein, is a form of aluminum silicate. In another exemplary embodiment, the suitable catalyst support includes metal corrugated forms.
- In one embodiment, the slurry of the catalyst powder is washcoated onto a catalyst support such as a monolith. In one embodiment of the invention, the catalyst support is a monolith including cordierite. The applied washcoat may be dried, sintered and used to reduce emission content such as NOx.
- In a method of using the catalytic reduction system, the catalytic reduction system is disposed in the exhaust stream of an exhaust gas source, such as an internal combustion engine. An internal combustion engine may be part of any of a variety of mobile or fixed/stationary assets, for example, an automobile, locomotive, or power generator. Because different engines have different combustion characteristics and because of the use of different fuels, the exhaust stream components differ from one system to another. Such differences may include variations in NOx levels, presence of sulfur, oxygen level, steam content, and the presence or quantity of other species of reaction product. Changes in the operating parameters of the engine may also alter the exhaust flow characteristics. Examples of differing operating parameters may include temperature and flow rate. The catalytic reduction system may be used to reduce NOx to nitrogen at a desirable rate and at a desirable temperature appropriate for the given system and operating parameters.
- In one method of using the catalytic reduction system, the catalytic reduction system is disposed in the exhaust stream of an internal combustion engine. The catalyst composition of the catalytic reduction system reduces nitrogen oxides to nitrogen. The nitrogen oxide present in the gas stream may be reduced at a temperature of about 250° C. or greater. In one embodiment, the reduction occurs at a temperature range of about 250° C. to about 350° C. In another embodiment, the temperature is in the range of about 350° C. to about 500° C. In another specific embodiment the temperature is in the range of about 500° C. to about 600° C. In one exemplary embodiment, the nitrogen oxide present in the gas stream may be reduced at a temperature of less than about 350° C.
- The following examples illustrate methods and embodiments in accordance with exemplary embodiments, and as such should not be construed as imposing limitations upon the claims. All components are commercially available from common chemical suppliers.
- A 5000 mL 3-neck round bottom flask was set up with a mechanical stirrer, reflux condenser, and addition funnel. About 6.51 g (38.5 mmol) of AgNO3 and about 0.6 g (8.7 mmol) of LiNO3 were dissolved in about 240 mL water and added to the flask for preparing 4.4 mole % of Ag and 1 mol % of Li doping. Different lithium doping level may be achieved by varying the addition of LiNO3. Following the addition to the flask, the mechanical stirrer was turned on and contents of flask were stirred. About 111.9 g of TRITON X-114 was mixed with heptane and added to the flask. The mixture was stirred for 30 minutes at a medium pace under ambient conditions to obtain a white suspension. About 415 g (1.69 mol) of aluminum sec-butoxide (Al(OsecBu)3) was added by charging a 1 L polyethylene jar whose cap was equipped with a gas inlet and a dip-tube outlet. Using 4-6 psi nitrogen, a feed of about 2.5 mL/min was achieved. Addition was complete after 180 min. The contents were heated to reflux for 22 h. The solid was recovered by filtration and washed with ethanol. The obtained brown solid was then subjected to pyrolysis at 550° C. under nitrogen and then calcination in air at 550° C.
- After calcination, some powders were tested for fresh performance, performance after one hour of operation, performance after sulfation, and desulfation.
- During the test, the catalyst composition was disposed in a reactor to determine its nitrogen oxide conversion capabilities in a simulated exhaust gas stream. An ultra-low sulfur diesel (ULSD) fuel having a boiling point of less than 210° C. was used as a reductant. The reduction in NOx concentration relates to catalytic activity of the catalyst compositions.
- A simulated exhaust gas stream containing an exhaust gas composition was used. The exhaust gas composition included 9 percent O2, 300 parts per million NO, 7 percent H2O, and the balance N2. The gas hour space velocity (GHSV) was about 30,000 hr−1. For sulfation, about 5 ppm SO2 is added in nominal conditions and passed for 8 hours at 350° C. For desulfation, the gas composition included an oxygen concentration varying from zero to about 3 percent, about 300 parts per million of NO, 7 percent H2O, and balance N2. The desulfation step was normally carried out at a temperature varying from about 300° C. to about 500° C.
- The temperature dependent NOx reduction activities of the different compositions at different test conditions are plotted as shown in
FIG. 1-16 . The comparison of amount of byproducts of the emission treatment system in the absence and presence of lithium sulfur scavenger is plotted inFIG. 17-18 . -
FIG. 1 illustrates the NOx activities of the fresh 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst composition without the addition of lithium, whileFIG. 2 ,FIG. 3 , andFIG. 4 illustrate the NOx activities of the fresh 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst composition with 1%, 5%, and 14% respectively of Li addition as a sulfur scavenger. Similarly,FIG. 5 illustrates the NOx acitivities of the 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst composition without the addition of lithium, after about an hour of operation, whileFIG. 6 ,FIG. 7 , andFIG. 8 illustrate the NOx activities after one hour of operation of the 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst composition with 1%, 5%, and 14% respectively of Li addition as a sulfur scavenger. -
FIG. 9 illustrates the NOx activities of the sulfated fresh 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst composition without the addition of lithium, whileFIG. 10 ,FIG. 11 , andFIG. 12 illustrate the NOx activities after sulfation of the fresh 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst composition with 1%, 5%, and 14% respectively of Li addition as a sulfur scavenger. Similarly,FIG. 13 illustrates the NOx acitivities of the 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst composition without the addition of lithium, after about an hour of sulfation, whileFIG. 14 ,FIG. 15 , andFIG. 16 illustrate the NOx activities after one hour of sulfation of the 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst composition with 1%, 5%, and 14% respectively of Li addition as a sulfur scavenger. - By comparing these graphs, it can be seen that during initial operation and during operation after sulfation, addition of 1% or 5% lithium improves NOx activity during initial stages and after one hour of operation. 1% and 5% lithium addition seem to be comparatively better than 14% Li addition. Between 1% and 5% lithium addition, 5% Li addition comparatively improves the high temperature NOx activity of Ag-TA catalyst.
-
FIG. 17 graphically illustrates the comparison of temperature dependent HCN byproduct formation in the absence and presence of 1% Li addition to the Ag-TA catalyst. The HCN by product during NOx reduction over undoped 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst is about 30-70 ppm depending on the temperature of operation, while for the Li doped 4.5 mol % Ag-TA catalyst only about 0-5 ppm of HCN by products were determined -
FIG. 18 compares the effect of Li addition in the formation of CH3CHO and HCHO. It can be observed that the CH3CHO formation reduces from about 40-130 ppm to a range of about 10-40 ppm after 1% Li addition. The HCHO formation reduces from about 10-30 ppm to a range of about 5-10 ppm after 1% Li addition. - The embodiments described herein are examples of composition, system, and methods having elements corresponding to the elements of the invention recited in the claims.
