The NH3-SCR catalyst used in this temperature range must be resistant to thermal deactivation, so commercial vanadium-based systems, such as V2O5-WO3 (MoO3)-TiO2, are most commonly used. However, selectivity of this material significantly decreases above 350 °C due to the increase in the rate of side reactions, such as oxidation of ammonia to NO and formation of N2O. Moreover, vanadium compounds are toxic for the environment. Thus, management of the used catalyst is complicated. One of the alternatives to commercial V2O5-TiO2 catalysts are natural zeolites. These materials are abundant in the environment and are thus relatively cheap and easily accessible. Therefore, the aim of the study was to design a novel iron-modified zeolite catalyst for the reduction of NOx emission from dual-pressure nitric acid plants via NH3-SCR. The aim of the study was to determine the influence of iron loading i...

The catalyst was prepared at a laboratory scale in a powder form and then the series of experiments of its shaping into tablets was conducted. Physicochemical studies of the catalyst (N2 sorption at −196 °C, FT-IR, XRD, UV-vis) were performed to determine the textural and structural properties and identify the surface functional groups, the crystalline structure of the catalysts and the form and aggregation of the active phase. The activity tests over the shaped catalyst were performed industry-reflecting conditions, using tail gases from the pilot nitric acid plant. The influence of a temperature, catalyst load, and the amount of reducing agent (ammonia) on the NOx reduction process were investigated. The results of catalytic tests that were performed on model gas mixt...

The catalyst mass composition, allowing for its troublefree shaping on an industrial extruder and producing catalyst extrudates with the best mechanical parameters, was opimized using capillary rheometry.

The scope of research included CDF simulations as well as design and construction of the pilot plant and tests of NOx reduction by urea in the plant located in industrial pulverized-coal fired boiler. The key step of research was to determine the appropriate temperature window for the SNCR process. The proposed solution of the location of injection lances in the combustion chamber enabled to achieve over a 30% reduction of NOx. It is possible to achieve higher effectiveness of the proposed SNCR technology and meet the required emission standards via providing prior reduction of NOx to the level of 350 mg/um3 using the primary methods.
