Introduction

Aiming at the effective removals of series of N-containing waste gases, including (NOx, N2O, NH3, RCN) from industry, as well as classical indoor pollutants, such as formaldehyde and ozone; the related mechanisms on high selective transformation of these harmful compounds towards the target unharmful products were studied by means of both experimental DRIFTs & TPD techniques and theoretical DFT calculation to clarify the structure-performance correlation for better design of catalytic materials. Firstly, Cu-SSZ-13 was successfully synthesized by using a relatively cheap & new template of Choline Chloride, achieving an extraordinary deNOx performance with NO conversion of 95% across a broad temperature window of 150-450oC. Secondly, for the purification of N2O-containing exhaust from the industrial plant for adipic acid production with an annual yield of 250,000 tons, granular β-type zeolite catalyst was scale-up prepared based on the design of active sites via molecular simulation and thereafter utilized to reduce the N2O green-house gas of 20,000 tons per year. Thirdly, one-step technique on selective catalytic combustion of acrylonitrile was developed as well as an industrial system was established to eliminate the effluent nitrile gases with a total flow rate of 100,000 m3/h as a chair of National High-Technique Project (863 project).

More than 150 academic papers were published in the international journals including Chemical Reviews, National Science Reviews, Environmental Science & Technology, Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, Journal of Catalysis, Journal of Martials Chemistry A etc., associated with one Chinese book, three English book chapters and 30 authorized patents (including 2 US patents).

Series of classical indoor pollutants and industrially harmful N-containing gases were catalytic elimination by applicant with consideration on both the academic research and the practical application: 

1. Principle on the design of highly efficient catalysts for indoor HCHO purification at ambient temperature

    Almost 90% daily life of human being was spent in room, while indoor formaldehyde can cause the respiratory diseases, teratogenesis, and cancer. Therefore, its purification is essentially meaningful. Aiming at an efficient removal of formaldehyde at room temperature and well use of precious metals as active components, ZSM-5 zeolite with high specific surface area was introduced as ideal support for the noble-metal dispersion. The Pt loading was successfully reduced from 1% to 0.3% along with a complete HCHO conversion at 25 oC due to isomorphic framework substitution by Ti, hydrophobicity modification, NaBH4 surface pretreatment etc. Moreover, 0.2% of Pd was mainly confined in 5-membered rings of ZSM-5 based on an encapsulation strategy. The principle on the selection of coordinative ligands of precious metals is clarified for well dispersion of active component and room-temperature elimination of formaldehyde. Furthermore, Co/NC with an ideal performance was derived from ZIF-67 pyrolysis. Thereafter, Co-N2 was verified as active center for rapid HCHO conversion according to EXAFS characterization and DFT calculation. As a result, transition metal was indeed used as effective candidate for HCHO purification at room temperature, which once puzzled the researcher.

2. Mechanism study on N2O direct decomposition based on both experimental and theoretical approaches

    Huge amount of N2O, one kind of green-house gases, could be released during the traditional production of adipic acid. The simplest and economic way to deal with this pollutant is the directly catalytic decomposition of N2O into N2 and O2. An “oxygen intermediate” mechanism was proposed via in-situ DRIFT and TPD techniques. Molecular simulation based on DFT calculation was also introduced to confirm the proposed mechanism as well as clarify the correlation between catalyst structure and catalytic performance for a further improvement on industrial catalyst. 2.5 tons of granular Fe-β zeolite catalyst were manufactured and utilized in a tail-gas control system with a gas flow rate of 16,000 m3/h, for an industrial plant yielding adipic acid of 260,000 tons per year. 20,000 tons of N2O was accordingly reduced annually due to this application. This achievement is therefore highly evaluated by <China Paper of Chemical Engineering>. In addition, aiming at satisfactory purification of the exhaust gases containing N2O from caprolactam production, a pilot test was conducted with a flow rate of 40 m3/h for Hengyi Corporation in Zhejiang Province. Synergistic elimination of N2O, ammonia, and tert-butyl alcohol was achieved based on a catalyst-combination strategy.

3. Academic basis on the engineering application of selective catalytic combustion of highly toxic nitrile gases

    Nitrile gases including acrylonitrile, acetonitrile, and HCN coming from chemical process are known to be highly toxic and danger. A novel technology of selective catalytic combustion over Cu-ZSM-5 with SiO2/Al2O3=30 as a catalyst was developed by the applicant, showing an idea efficiency for nitrile conversion and N2 yield as high as 95%. The serious problem on the substrate cracking during dry process on construction of honeycomb zeolite monolith for the practical application was well solved. An industrial post-treatment system was established loading with 5 m3 of zeolite monolith for purifying the effluent gases with a flow rate of 100,000 m3/h from acrylonitrile plant of Jilin Corporation, SINOPEC. Moreover, the process package for purification of exhaust gases from carbon fiber production in Shanghai Corporation, SINOPEC, was accomplished with the corresponding post-treatment system being simultaneously established with a comprehensive consideration on sampling device design, tar removal, quantitative/qualitative analysis on the multiple pollutants in exhaust.
