The de activation on a V
2O
5/TiO
2 catalyst with deposited alkaline earth metal salts in the reduction of NO with NH3 and the regneration of the de activated catalyst were investigated. Alkaline earth metal salts (CaSO

2, CaCO
3, Ca (NO

2, MgSO
4, MgCl

2) were deposited on the V
2O
5/TiO
2 catalyst (average diameter 1.0mm) by an impregnation method. Measurements were made in a flowtype packed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure at 350°C, the inlet gas was a mixture of NO (500ppm), SO
2 (0, 500ppm), NH
3 (500ppm), O
2 (5%), H
2O (10%), and N
2, and the total flow rate was 1000 Ncm
3/min (sv: 6×10
4h
-1).
The following results and informations were obtained:
1) In the reduction of NO under the absence of SO
x, the degree of de activation was remarkably affected by the kind of salts deposited. The degree of de activation with deposition of chlorides, carbonates and nitrates was large, and that of sulfates was very small.
2) In the reduction of NO under the presence of SO
x, the effect of the salts except MgCl
2 on the degree of de activation was not almost found.
3) The de activation was mainly caused by the reaction of alkaline earth metal salts with V
2O
5/TiO
2 catalyst, leading to the formation of an inactive oxide complex.
4) The de activated catalyst was not regenerated by a washing procedure with water.
