Definitions
- the present invention relates to catalysts, primarily metal catalysts used in fixed bed catalysis of fluid flows, and to methods of reusing catalytic materials. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of producing a catalyst precursor material with nano-scale structure; methods of producing a skeletal catalyst with nano-scale structure from the precursor, and systems capable of performing these methods.
- Catalysts play many important roles in industry.
- One such role is fluid conditioning, including decontamination of flowing fluid.
- a catalytic system might be employed to remove oxygen content from an inert gas flow.
- the “catalytic converter” employed in automobiles (circa. 2007 and earlier) removes certain pollutants from an exhaust flow produced by the engine.
- Solid catalysts are often employed in this role, as fluid decontamination typically involves removal of the contaminant from fluid phase, aerosol state, solution, or entrainment.

Description
- The present application claims priority to co-pending U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/110,341, filed on Apr. 19, 2005, entitled, “HIGH THROUGHPUT DISCOVERY OF MATERIALS THROUGH VAPOR PHASE SYNTHESIS” and to co-pending U.S. Provisional Application Ser. No. 60/928,946, filed May 11, 2007, entitled “MATERIAL PRODUCTION SYSTEM AND METHOD,” both of which are hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth herein.
- The present invention relates to catalysts, primarily metal catalysts used in fixed bed catalysis of fluid flows, and to methods of reusing catalytic materials. More particularly, the present invention relates to methods of producing a catalyst precursor material with nano-scale structure; methods of producing a skeletal catalyst with nano-scale structure from the precursor, and systems capable of performing these methods.
- Catalysts play many important roles in industry. One such role is fluid conditioning, including decontamination of flowing fluid. For example, a catalytic system might be employed to remove oxygen content from an inert gas flow. The “catalytic converter” employed in automobiles (circa. 2007 and earlier) removes certain pollutants from an exhaust flow produced by the engine. “Solid” catalysts—so-called because the catalytic compound exists in solid phase during use—are often employed in this role, as fluid decontamination typically involves removal of the contaminant from fluid phase, aerosol state, solution, or entrainment.
- “Raney nickel”, a solid phase catalyst formed of nickel grains bonded in a skeletal structure along with aluminum grains, performs many industrial roles, including fluid conditioning. A variety of similar catalysts employ other active materials, including iron or copper, instead of nickel, and other alloying components, such as zinc or silicon, instead of aluminum. Currently, all of these “Raney-style” catalysts are formed via processes essentially similar to the original recipe for Raney nickel.
- A Raney-style process describes a multi-step method of forming a porous, active metal catalyst. First, a precursor is formed of at least a binary alloy of metals where one of the metals can be extracted. Second, the precursor is activated by extracting an alloy constituent leaving a porous residue comprising a metal that has catalytic activity. Such processes are described in, e.g. Raney, M. Catalysts from Alloys, Ind. Eng. Chem., 1940, 32, 1199; as well as U.S. Pat. Nos. 1,628,190; 1,915,473; 2,139,602; 2,461,396 and 2,977,327 to M. Raney. Commercial catalysts made by these type of processes are sold by W. R. Grace & Co. under the trademark RANEY® catalyst.
- Often, additional materials are added and process parameters are varied to achieve a desired catalytic activity or function. Typically, the process parameters and additional materials included depend both on the active material employed and the catalytic function desired. Some added materials called “promoters” serve to enhance catalytic activity. A typical process parameter that is varied according to specific needs is the precursor alloy composition. For example, the precursor used for Raney nickel typically consists of equal amounts of nickel and aluminum by volume.
- The traditional Raney-style process results in a collection of granular pieces, each with an internal porosity. Depending on their grain size, these particles are used in slurry or in packed-column systems as heterogeneous catalysts. Generally, larger particle sizes are required for use in packed-column systems. Traditionally, there is a tradeoff between surface area and particle size, with larger-sized particles having less surface area per unit volume. See, e.g. the background section of U.S. Pat. No. 4,895,994.
- Although small powder catalysts have desirable surface area to volume characteristics, they are only suitable for batch processing and must be isolated after use. In order to avoid these disadvantages, a variety of processing regimes have been proposed to permit use of Raney particles in fixed-bed catalysis. For example, U.S. Pat. No. 4,895,994 describes a fixed bed catalyst shaped from Raney precursor mixed with a polymer, cured, and then activated via a leaching process. U.S. Pat. No. 5,536,694 describes a fixed-bed catalyst prepared from powders of Raney precursor mixed with a powder of its catalytically active component as a binder. However, these processes involve high sintering temperatures and thus cannot accommodate small, high surface-to-volume-ratio precursor particles (the sintering temperatures are sufficient to destroy the grain structure of the precursor alloy in small particles). Thus, lacking the high surface to volume ratio provided by the smallest precursor sizes, these approaches instead rely on macroporosity of the fixed bed structure to achieve high internal diffusion, making the most of their surface area.
- Therefore, the smallest precursor particles suitable for fixed-bed catalyst production via traditional means are micron scale particles.
FIG. 1 illustrates such a system process. Micronscale aluminum powder 112 and micronscale nickel powder 114 are combined in a melt-basedalloying step 116, thereby producing nickel-aluminum alloy 118 in a variety of alloy phases. The nickel-aluminum alloy 118 is then processed and activated, such as by aleaching apparatus 120, resulting in a bulkporous structure 122 that is mostly nickel (though some aluminum may remain). In some prior art systems, the activation precedes a processing step, whereas in other systems, the activation follows processing to produce a bulk structure. In either case, analuminum leach step 120 is involved in producing a bulkporous structure 122 composed substantially of nickel. Unfortunately, the smallest pores within the structure produced are micron scale. - What is needed in the art is a system and method for producing a catalyst precursor material and a skeletal catalyst having smaller particle size, and therefore larger surface area available for catalysis.

- In the systems and methods of the present invention, the catalyst material is preferably a metal of the transition group VIII of the periodic table of elements. Examples of preferred metals include nickel, iron, and cobalt. In some embodiments, the catalyst material is copper. Additionally, the filler material is preferably aluminum. However, in some embodiments, the filler material can be another material, such as zinc or silicon. Preferably, the starting powder is micron-scale, meaning it has an average grain size of at least 1 micron.
- The systems and methods of the present invention involve forming a catalyst precursor material from nano-powder in such a way that leaves the nano-scale structure of the nano-powder substantially intact. In a preferred embodiment, the step of forming includes a step of bonding the nano-powder, possibly preceded by a step of pressing the nano-powder. Preferably, the bonding comprises spark-plasma sintering the nano-powder.
- In some embodiments, the present invention can further comprise adding a promoter material to the bulk porous structure during the forming step. Preferably, the promoter material is one of the following: zinc, molybdenum, and chromium.
- Furthermore, the present invention can include activating the catalyst material in the precursor in order to form a nano-skeletal catalyst. Different activation steps, such as leaching or etching, may be performed depending on the make-up and structure of the precursor. Both the oxide etching apparatus and the leaching apparatus preferably employ supercritical solutions. The oxide etching apparatus preferably employs a supercritical etch solution, while the leaching apparatus preferably employs a supercritical leaching solution. In certain embodiments where the use of leaching is appropriate, selective leaching with a basic solution is preferably used to remove the substantial portion of the filler material from the bulk structure. Preferably, the filler material left is present in a relatively stable alloy phase (e.g., the alloy phase is more stable than other alloy phases given the set of materials).
- By forming the bulk structure from nano-sized particles instead of micron-sized (or larger sized) particles, the total catalytic surface area can be significantly increased, given that a nano-particle is significantly smaller than a micron particle thereby allowing for a greater quantity of nano-particles than micron particles. The present invention can increase the total catalytic surface area even more by removing a filler from each particle, thereby creating an internal porosity within each particle, rather than just the bulk porosity between the collection of particles. This internal porosity results in an internal surface area, and therefore, an increase in total surface area. The nano-skeletal structure produced via the present invention preferably has a surface area of at least 10,000 times the surface area of a micron scale structure of the same volume. The increase in surface area results in massive cost savings.

The discussion references the illustrated preferred embodiment. However, the scope of the present invention is not limited to either the illustrated embodiment, nor is it limited to those discussed, to the contrary, the scope should be interpreted as broadly as possible based on the language of the Claims section of this document.
- This disclosure refers to both particles and powders. These two terms are equivalent, except for the caveat that a singular “powder” refers to a collection of particles. The present invention may apply to a wide variety of powders and particles. Additionally, for the purposes of this disclosure, the terms nano-powders and nano-particles refer to powders and particles having an average grain size less than 250 nanometers and an aspect ratio between one and one million.
- The present invention will be readily understood by the following detailed description in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. To facilitate this description, like reference numerals designate like elements.
- The embodiments of the present invention revolve around the use of a nano-powder production reactor to produce nano-skeletal catalytic precursors. In general, vapor phase nano-powder production means are preferred. Most preferably, the embodiments of the present invention use nano-powder production systems similar to those disclosed in U.S. patent application Ser. No. 11/110,341, filed on Apr. 19, 2005 and entitled, “HIGH THROUGHPUT DISCOVERY OF MATERIALS THROUGH VAPOR PHASE SYNTHESIS”, which is currently published as U.S. Publication No. 2005-0233380-A. In such a nano-powder production system, working gas is supplied from a gas source to a plasma reactor. Within the plasma reactor, energy is delivered to the working gas, thereby creating a plasma. A variety of different means can be employed to deliver this energy, including, but not limited to, DC coupling, capacitive coupling, inductive coupling, and resonant coupling. One or more material dispensing devices introduce at least one material, preferably in powder form, into the plasma reactor. The combination within the plasma reactor of the plasma and the material(s) introduced by the material dispensing device(s) forms a highly reactive and energetic mixture, wherein the powder can be vaporized. This mixture of vaporized powder moves through the plasma reactor in the flow direction of the working gas. As it moves, the mixture cools and particles are formed therein. The still-energetic output mixture, comprising hot gas and energetic particles, is emitted from the plasma reactor. Following emission from the plasma reactor, the output mixture cools further and is exposed to a sampling device, which selectively samples portions of the output mixture, which comprises hot gas and particles of relatively homogeneous size distribution. Each particle can comprise a combination of the materials introduced by the material dispensing devices. The sampling device can be used to collect particles for further use or processing. It is contemplated that the sampling device can be incorporated into the reactor so that the reactor not only nano-sizes the powder, but samples and collects the nano-particles as well. In this respect, when discussing the nano-sizing and bonding steps below, it is implied that the nano-sizing step can include such particle sampling and collection necessary for providing the particles in sufficient form for the bonding step.
- It is contemplated that other nano-powder production means, including non-vapor phase nano-powder production means, are within the scope of the present invention. Additionally, other configurations of sampling devices and collection devices are contemplated as being within the scope of the present invention as well.
- Furthermore, the preferred embodiments of the present invention employ non-traditional sintering techniques to bond nano-scale materials in order to facilitate the preservation of the materials' nano-scale structure. Preferably, embodiments of the present invention employ fast sintering techniques to avoid agglomeration and loss of nano-structure. Exemplary fast sintering techniques are the sintering techniques known as spark-plasma sintering (SPS), field assisted sintering technique (FAST) or pulsed electric current sintering (PECS).
- When used with conductive samples, such as in the present invention, these fast sintering techniques pulse DC current through the sample being sintered, causing resistive internal heating of the sample. Because the resistive load is relatively uniform throughout the sample, heat is generated uniformly throughout the sample. Furthermore, heat generation is initiated relatively simultaneously throughout a conductive sample, as it occurs with the electron movement. Since electron diffusion at the voltages involved is much faster than thermal diffusion, heating rates are potentially much faster than with conventional sintering. The fast heating and cooling provided by these techniques facilitates preservation of the sample's nano-scale structure.
- Furthermore, embodiments of the present invention produce nano-scale bulk porosity, involving scales at which conventional liquid leaching chemistries can become less effective. Some embodiments contemplate using alternative leaching systems to remove filler materials. For example, supercritical fluid solutions are capable of wetting very small features. Thus, supercritical phase leaching chemistries are employed in some embodiments of the present invention.

Here, thefiller leaching apparatus 310 removes substantially all of the filler material, leaving the nano-skeletal catalyst 324 to consist primarily of bulk porous nano-scale catalyst material.

In a preferred embodiment, the catalystmaterial dispensing device 204 is fluidly coupled to the nano-powder production reactor 206. This embodiment is characterized by an absence of filler material.
