Definitions
- the present invention relates to a catalyst support for emission control technologies of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in diesel and gasoline direct injection (GDI) engines.
- the invention relates to a ceramic catalyst support capable of achieving higher catalyst loadings without a pressure drop and/or mechanical strength penalty.
- Diesel and GDI engines are becoming increasingly popular due to the promise of increased fuel efficiency. Similarly to conventional engines, the exhaust gas discharged from diesel and GDI engines needs to be purified of NOx. However, unlike conventional engines which employ three-way catalysts, the diesel and GDI engines cannot employ such catalysts because they produce exhaust gas with an excess amount of oxygen and require conditions where the air-fuel ratio is substantially stoichiometric. Technologies which address NOx reduction in the aforementioned type of engines, are selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and NOx adsorbers.
- SCR selective catalytic reduction
- NOx adsorbers are selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and NOx adsorbers.
- the SCR system utilizes a reducing agent either dosed into the system or created in-situ, such ammonia or urea (preferred), to react with NOx on a suitable catalyst.
- a reducing agent either dosed into the system or created in-situ, such ammonia or urea (preferred)
- a suitable catalyst such as ammonia or urea (preferred)
- a reducing agent either dosed into the system or created in-situ, such ammonia or urea (preferred)
- a suitable catalyst such as ammonia or urea (preferred)
- washcoated catalysts are the preferred industry choice.
- a catalyst is coated on an inert support substrate.
- NOx adsorbers are similar in that they are made of a support having a catalyst washcoated thereon, and an additional component in the catalyst coating which stores the trapped NOx.
- the NOx is trapped and stored during lean operation phase of the engine operation and released during the rich phase.
- washcoated cordierite catalysts offer several advantages, including low cost, high cell density leading to high geometric surface areas, low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) and good thermal shock resistance.
- CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
- washcoating only provides a limited amount of catalyst per unit substrate volume as is directly related to the thickness of the coating. Increasing the coating layer is one way to increase catalyst loading, however, as a result the pressure drop across the structure increases, which in turn affects fuel efficiency and engine performance.
- a novel support for NOx reduction based on washcoating technologies such as SCR and NOx adsorbers.
- the support combines high porosity, with an interconnected pore structure, and a narrow pore size distribution, along with a low CTE.
- inventive structures allow for higher catalyst loadings than previously possible without a pressure drop penalty, or a loss in the mechanical strength.
- the inventive catalyst support comprises a honeycomb body composed of a porous ceramic material, and including a plurality of parallel cell channels traversing the body from a frontal inlet end to an outlet end thereof.
- the honeycomb body has a cell density of 100 cells/in 2 (15.5 cells/cm 2 ) to 900 cells/in 2 (141 cells/cm 2 ), preferably 400 cells/in 2 (62 cells/cm 2 ) to 600 cells/in 2 (94 cells/cm 2 ), and a wall thickness of 0.004 in. (0.10 mm) to 0.020 in. (0.50 mm).
- the porous ceramic material is defined by a total porosity greater than 45 vol. %, preferably greater than 50 vol. %, and more preferably greater than 55 vol. %, and a network of interconnected pores with a narrow pore size distribution of pores having a median pore size greater than 5 micrometers but less than 30 micrometers, preferably less than 20 micrometers, and more preferably less than 15 micrometers.
- the support is further characterized by a low coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) at 25-800°C, of less than 15 x 10 "7 /°C, preferably less than 10 x 10 "7 /°C, and more preferably less than 7 x 10 "7 /°C.
- CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
- the porous ceramic material comprising the catalyst support honeycomb body is selected from the group consisting of titanates, silicates, aluminates, lithium aluminosilicates, carbides, nitrides, borides.
- the ceramic material is a silicate, more preferably a silicate ceramic predominately composed of a primarily crystalline phase comprising cordierite, and having a composition close to that of Mg 2 Al 4 Si 5 ⁇ 18 .
- the catalyst support in accordance with the present invention is a multicellular ceramic monolith, preferably comprising a honeycomb body having an inlet end and an outlet end, and a multiplicity of cells extending from the inlet end to the outlet end, the cells having porous walls.
- Suitable honeycomb structures have cellular densities from about 100 cells/in 2 (15.5 cells/cm 2 ) to about 900 cells/in 2 (141 cells/cm 2 ), preferably 400 cells/in 2 (62 cells/cm 2 ) to 600 cells/in 2 (94 cells/cm 2 ), and wall thickness of 0.004 in. (0.10 mm) to 0.020 in. (0.50 mm).
- the catalyst support is further characterized by more open wall porosity for catalyst storage, as well as larger pores to improve catalyst accessibility during catalyst coating processes. Accordingly, a significantly higher catalyst loading can be attained than with commercially available cordierite substrates. Unlike conventional substrates which can only be coated on the walls due to low porosity and small pores, in the present invention the catalyst is loaded into the wall pores of the inventive supports. This not only provides for more catalyst per unit substrate volume, but also no pressure drop or mechanical strength penalty, and minimal impact on CTE in the resulting structure.
- the total porosity is greater than 45 vol. %, preferably greater than 50 vol. %, and more preferably greater than 55 vol. %.
- the porosity is uniquely comprised of a network of interconnected pores with a narrow pore size distribution of pores having a median pore size greater than 5 micrometers but less than 30 micrometers, preferably less than 20 micrometers, and more preferably less than 15 micrometers.
- narrow pore size distribution is meant that more than 85 % of the total porosity has a median pore size of greater than 5 micrometers and less than 30 micrometers, preferably less than 20 micrometers, and more preferably less than 15 micrometers.
- TSR thermal shock resistance
- CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
- the invention is especially suited for catalyst supports comprising ceramic materials such as titanates, silicates, aluminates, lithium aluminosilicates, carbides, nitrides, borides, as well as others.
- ceramic materials comprising silicon carbide, aluminum titanate, calcium aluminate, and the like.
- the present invention is especially suitable for ceramic materials, such as those that yield cordierite, mullite, or mixtures of these on firing. Some examples of such mixtures are about 2-60 % mullite, and about 30-96 % cordierite, with allowance for other phases, typically up to about 10 % by weight.
- a particularly preferred batch composition consists essentially of 11 to 23 % by weight silica, 28 to 40 % by weight alumina, 39 to 42 % by weight percent fine talc having a median particle diameter, as measured by laser diffraction, of less than 10 micrometers, preferably less than 7 micrometers, and more preferably less than 5 micrometers, and a B.E.T.
- the batch composition could further include a pore former to better control the porosity and/or pore size, that is preferably a particulate material selected from the group consisting of graphite, cellulose, starch, synthetic polymers such as polyacrylates and polyethylenes, and combinations thereof.
- the weight percent of the pore former is computed as: 100 x [weight of pore former/weight of cordierite-forming raw materials].
- the pore former is added at 5 to 40 weight percent.
- Graphite and potato starch are preferred pore formers for purposes of the present invention.
- the median particle diameter of the pore former is at least 3 micrometers and not more than 200 micrometers, preferably at least 5 micrometers and not more than 1500 micrometers, and more preferably at least 10 micrometers and not more than 100 micrometers.
- ceramic batches of the type described above are intimately blended with a vehicle and forming aids which impart plastic formability and green strength to the raw materials when they are shaped into a body.
- Forming is by any known method for shaping plastic mixtures, but preferably by extrusion which is well known in the art. Extrusion aids are used, most typically methyl cellulose which serves as a binder, and sodium stearate, which serves as a lubricant.
- the relative amounts of forming aids can vary depending on factors such as the nature and amounts of raw materials used, and the like.
- the typical amounts of forming aids are about 2% to about 10% by weight of methyl cellulose, and preferably about 3% to about 6% by weight, and about 0.3% to about 2% by weight sodium stearate, and preferably about 0.6% by weight.
- the aforementioned components are mixed together in dry form, and then with water as the vehicle.
- the amount of water can vary from one batch of materials to another and therefore is determined by pre-testing the particular batch for extrudability.
- the resulting plastic mixture is forced through a die to form a multicellular structure, preferably a honeycomb structure having a plurality of parallel cell channels traversing the body from a frontal inlet end to an outlet end thereof.
- the green honeycomb bodies are dried, and then fired at a sufficient temperature and for a sufficient time to form the final cordierite (Mg 2 Al Si 5 ⁇ 18 ) product structure.
- firing is done by heating to a maximum temperature of about 1405°C to 1430°C, over a time period of 50 to 300 hours, with a hold at top temperature of 5 to 25 hours.
- the resulting honeycomb structures are ready for coating with a catalyst and use in SCR systems.
- honeycombs having a nominal cell density of 200 cells/inch and a wall thickness of 0.012 inches.
- the honeycombs were dried, and subsequently fired to a temperature of 1405 to 1415°C (examples 1-3), 1425°C (example 4), and 1430°C (example 5), held at that temperature for 10 to 25 hours, and then cooled to room temperature.
- Properties provided include the percent porosity, in volume percent, and median pore size, both as measured by mercury porosimetry, the mean or average coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) as measured by dilatometry over a temperature of 25 to 800°C, and the modulus of rupture strength (MOR) in psi as measured by a four-point method on bars.
- CTE coefficient of thermal expansion
- MOR modulus of rupture strength
