Description

本発明は、尿素水における尿素の析出を効果的に抑制することができる尿素水溶液に関する。特にはNOx触媒に好適に使用することができる尿素水溶液に関する。   The present invention relates to an aqueous urea solution that can effectively suppress precipitation of urea in urea water. In particular, the present invention relates to an aqueous urea solution that can be suitably used for a NOx catalyst.

大気汚染や地球温暖化などの環境問題への対策の一環として、トラックなどのディーゼル車から排出される窒素酸化物を削減するNOx触媒の開発が進められている。   As part of measures to address environmental problems such as air pollution and global warming, NOx catalysts that reduce nitrogen oxides emitted from diesel vehicles such as trucks are being developed.

現在までに開発されたNOx触媒としては、酸化触媒やガソリン自動車で実用化されている三元触媒などがあるが、いずれも十分なNOxの浄化が困難であった。近年、NOx浄化に有望な触媒である還元型NOx触媒が提案され、そのさらなる開発が行われている。   Examples of NOx catalysts that have been developed to date include oxidation catalysts and three-way catalysts that have been put to practical use in gasoline automobiles. However, it has been difficult to sufficiently purify NOx. In recent years, reduction-type NOx catalysts, which are promising catalysts for NOx purification, have been proposed and further developed.

この還元型NOx触媒は、アンモニアなどの還元剤の存在下でNOxを浄化する触媒である。例えば、尿素水タンクからNOx触媒の上流側の排気系に尿素水溶液を添加し、排気ガスの熱によって尿素水溶液中の尿素を加水分解してアンモニアとし、このアンモニアを還元剤として排気ガス中のNOxと反応させて、排気ガス中のNOxを浄化するという反応システムを利用したものである。   This reduced NOx catalyst is a catalyst that purifies NOx in the presence of a reducing agent such as ammonia. For example, an aqueous urea solution is added from the urea water tank to the exhaust system upstream of the NOx catalyst, the urea in the aqueous urea solution is hydrolyzed to ammonia by the heat of the exhaust gas, and this ammonia is used as a reducing agent to reduce NOx in the exhaust gas. And a reaction system that purifies NOx in the exhaust gas.

還元剤としてアンモニアが排気ガス中のNOx、例えば一酸化窒素NOや二酸化窒素NO2と反応して、排気ガス中のNOxが無害なNやH2Oに変換して浄化される過程を化学式で示すと以下のとおりとなる。 As a reducing agent, a process in which ammonia reacts with NOx in exhaust gas, for example, nitrogen monoxide NO or nitrogen dioxide NO 2, and NOx in the exhaust gas is converted into harmless N or H 2 O to be purified by a chemical formula. The result is as follows.

4NO+4NH3+O2 → 4N2+6H2
NO+4NO2+2NH3 → 2N2+3H2
ところが、このNOx触媒の場合、NOxがアンモニアと反応することによりNOxの浄化が行われるため、例えば尿素水溶液がタンクから排気系に添加されるまでに通過する供給管において析出物が生じ、目詰まりを起こしてしまう場合など、尿素水が安定して供給されないと、NOx触媒が十分な浄化作用を発揮しなくなってしまうという課題があった。
4NO + 4NH 3 + O 2 → 4N 2 + 6H 2 O
NO + 4NO 2 + 2NH 3 → 2N 2 + 3H 2 O
However, in the case of this NOx catalyst, NOx is purified by the reaction of NOx with ammonia. For example, precipitates are generated and clogged in the supply pipe through which the aqueous urea solution passes from the tank to the exhaust system. When the urea water is not supplied stably, there is a problem that the NOx catalyst does not exhibit a sufficient purification action.

そこで、尿素水溶液がNOx触媒に安定供給されるように、目詰まりの原因となる尿素水中の尿素の析出を抑える試みがなされている。例えば尿素水溶液中にホルムアルデヒド、メタノール、アセトン及びアセトアルデヒドなどの析出抑制剤を添加して、液中の尿素の析出(固結)を抑制することが行われていた(例えば特許文献1参照)。
特開2004−290835号公報
Therefore, attempts have been made to suppress the precipitation of urea in the urea water that causes clogging so that the urea aqueous solution is stably supplied to the NOx catalyst. For example, precipitation inhibitors such as formaldehyde, methanol, acetone and acetaldehyde are added to an aqueous urea solution to suppress precipitation (consolidation) of urea in the solution (for example, see Patent Document 1).
JP 2004-290835 A

しかし、従来の方法では、尿素水溶液がタンクから排気系に添加されるまでに通過する供給管や供給管端部等に生じる析出物を充分に抑制することができなかった。   However, in the conventional method, precipitates generated in the supply pipe, the supply pipe end, and the like that pass before the urea aqueous solution is added from the tank to the exhaust system cannot be sufficiently suppressed.

本発明は、このような事情に鑑みなされたものであり、尿素水溶液における尿素の析出をより効果的に抑制することができる尿素水溶液を提供することを目的とするものである。   This invention is made | formed in view of such a situation, and it aims at providing the urea aqueous solution which can suppress precipitation of urea in a urea aqueous solution more effectively.

上記目的を達成するため、本発明は、水及び尿素を主成分とし、前記主成分中にシアン酸又はシアン酸塩からなる析出抑制剤を含有することを特徴とする尿素水溶液をその要旨とした。   In order to achieve the above object, the gist of the present invention is an aqueous urea solution characterized in that it contains water and urea as main components, and the main component contains a precipitation inhibitor composed of cyanic acid or cyanate. .

本発明の尿素水溶液は、液中のシアン酸又はシアン酸塩からなる析出抑制剤が尿素の析出(固結)を効果的に抑制するので、当該尿素水溶液がタンクから排気系に添加されるまでに通過する供給管において尿素が析出して目詰まりが生じる恐れが少なく、尿素水のNOx触媒への安定供給を実現し得て、NOxの確実な浄化作用が期待できる。   In the urea aqueous solution of the present invention, since the precipitation inhibitor composed of cyanic acid or cyanate in the liquid effectively suppresses urea precipitation (consolidation), until the urea aqueous solution is added from the tank to the exhaust system. There is little possibility that urea will precipitate and clog in the supply pipe that passes through, so that stable supply of urea water to the NOx catalyst can be realized, and a reliable purification action of NOx can be expected.

以下、本発明の尿素水溶液を説明する。本発明の尿素水溶液における主成分は、水及び尿素である。当該尿素水溶液における尿素の含有量としては特に限定されないが、10〜50重量%、好ましくは20〜40重量%、より好ましくは25〜35重量%である。尿素の含有量が10重量%を下回ると、当該尿素水溶液を用いて排気ガス中のNOxの浄化を行う際に、脱硝効率が低くなり、尿素の含有量が50重量%を上回る場合には、含有量上昇に伴う脱硝効果が期待できず、不経済となる。   Hereinafter, the urea aqueous solution of the present invention will be described. The main components in the urea aqueous solution of the present invention are water and urea. Although it does not specifically limit as content of urea in the said urea aqueous solution, It is 10 to 50 weight%, Preferably it is 20 to 40 weight%, More preferably, it is 25 to 35 weight%. When the urea content is less than 10% by weight, the NOx removal efficiency is reduced when purifying NOx in the exhaust gas using the urea aqueous solution, and when the urea content exceeds 50% by weight, The denitration effect accompanying the increase in the content cannot be expected, which is uneconomical.

前記主成分中にシアン酸又はシアン酸塩からなる析出抑制剤が含まれている。シアン酸塩としては、例えばシアン酸ナトリウム、シアン酸カリウム、シアン酸アンモニウムなどを挙げることができる。   The main component contains a precipitation inhibitor composed of cyanic acid or cyanate. Examples of the cyanate include sodium cyanate, potassium cyanate, and ammonium cyanate.

上記シアン酸又はシアン酸塩からなる析出抑制剤は、液中に0.001重量%以上、1重量%未満の含有量で含まれていることが望ましい。析出抑制剤の含有量が0.001重量%を下回る場合、十分な尿素の析出抑制効果が得られず、1重量%以上の場合には、多く使用しただけの効果が期待できず、不経済となる。   The precipitation inhibitor composed of cyanic acid or cyanate is preferably contained in the liquid at a content of 0.001 wt% or more and less than 1 wt%. When the content of the precipitation inhibitor is less than 0.001% by weight, a sufficient urea precipitation inhibitory effect cannot be obtained, and when it is 1% by weight or more, the effect of using only a large amount cannot be expected, which is uneconomical. It becomes.

尚、本発明の尿素水溶液には、必要に応じて従来公知の防錆剤、凍結防止剤などの添加剤を適宜添加することもできる。   In addition, additives, such as a conventionally well-known antirust agent and antifreeze agent, can also be suitably added to the urea aqueous solution of this invention as needed.

以下、本発明の尿素水溶液を実施例に従ってさらに詳しく説明する。   Hereinafter, the urea aqueous solution of the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to examples.
