Research On Photon-Ion Catalysis Synergy Material For Energy Saving And Emission Reduction

To solve the photocatalyst's problems of low quantum yield and low solar energy conversion efficiencies, and to achieve generating negative air ion and activating water functions, a new materials named photon-ion catalysis synergy materials (PICSM) is developed. The catalysis synergy powder was prepared firstly by the process of compounding nano-TiO₂ doped with rear-earth sol with tourmaline powder. On this basis, the PICSM was fabricated by adding solution or rare-earth waste residue containing Thorium element.Using the technologies of XRD, SEM, ESR, etc., the characterization of the catalysis synergy powder and the PICSM were systematically studied. The results show that: nano-TiO₂ doped with Ce comparatively evenly distribute on the surface of tourmaline particles, and the tourmaline particles were well separated. Large quantity of free radicals and negative ions can be produced by synergy materials under the condition of ultraviolet, visible light or radiation.Porous ceramic, honeycomb ceramic and sphere foam ceramic for combustion engine system were prepared separately by inflammable template impregnation process, mechanical extrusion and rotation pelleting method. These materials were used to activate diesel oil and air for combustion. The temperature of activated diesel rose 0.6℃, the density lowered 1.5% and the kinematic viscosity reduced by 12%. By the ESR analysis, molecules of activated diesel oil were transformed into activated molecules. All the changes of diesel oil benefits to combustion efficiency and reducing NOx, CO, etc., emissions.MnO₂ was successfully used as black coloring additive agent to promote the far infrared radiation ability of PICSM. A preliminary study on the model and mechanism of catalysis synergy reactions were discussed.
