Catalysts for the low-temperature dry-type simultaneous removal of sulfur oxides (SO
x) and nitrogen oxides (NO
x) were investigated, and Cr
2O
3-TiO
2 prepared by the coprecipitation method was found as a superior catalyst.
In this process, SO
2 was catalytically oxidized to SO
3, then deposited onto catalyst surface as ammonium sulfates by the reaction with H
2O and NH
3, and NO
x were reduced to N
2 with NH
3 over the same catalyst at low temperature (ca. 130°C).
The experiments were carried out using a flow type packed bed reactor under atmospheric pressure at 110-150°C. Inlet gases were SO
2 (mainly 250ppm), NO (250ppm), NH
3 (500-750ppm), O
2 (5%), H
2O (10%) and N
2 (balance gas).
The main results obtained are as follows:
1) 10-30mol%Cr
2O
3-90-70mol%TiO
2 gave the higer activity than the other composition oxides for the simultaneous removal of SO
x, and NO
x.
2) The salts deposited on Cr
2O
3-TiO
2 were amorphous form of NH
4HSO
4 and (NH
4)
2SO
4.
3) The used catalyst could be regenerated by heating at 500°C in N
2 stream, and then treating with O
2 (5%)-N
2 mixture at 500°C.
4) The active oxygen of Cr
2O
3-TiO
2 gave the high activity for not only the denitrification (NO
x removal), but the oxidation of NO to NO
2. When the active oxygen was consumed, the addition rate of the oxygen from the gas phase was promoted by the coexistence of SO
2.
5) The almost complete removal of SO
x, and NO
x without the leak of NH
3 could be done by controling the quantity of NH
3 supplied over Cr
2O
3-TiO
2.
