Operational factors affecting the abatement of nitric oxide in flue gases by ammonia on precipitated vanadium-alumina catalysts were studied. Oxygen in the gas phase accelerated NO conversion rate, and one mole of NO reacted with one mole of ammonia in the presence of oxygen. Sulfur dioxide and steam showed a little adverse effect on the reaction rate but still more than 99% conversion of NO was attained at 250°C under the practicable reaction condition. However, in the presence of sulfur dioxide, the catalyst support (alumina) reacted with ammonium bisulfate produced on the catalyst giving rise to a gradual decline of the catalytic activity.
