A series of non-precious metal oxides catalysts were prepared for low-temperature selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx with NH3 in a fixed bed reactor. The catalytic performance was evaluated by the removal efficiency of NOx and N2selectivity which were respectively detected by flue gas analyzer and flue gas chromatograph. Furthermore, the components of gas products from the above experiments were analysed with 2010 GC-MS. The results illustrated that the MnO2exhibited the highest NOx conversion to 95.46% and the highest selectivity of N2to 100% at temperature of 393K, then followed ZrO2, Al2O3and Fe2O3.

Mo-V-Ti catalysts of low temperature denitrification were prepared by dipping method. In order to study the activity of selective catalytic reduction, the catalyst was placed in a fixed bed reactor. Industrial flue gas was simulated with cylinder gas. The experimental condition is NO: 500ppm, NH3:500ppm, O2:8%, SO2:100ppm, N2: equilibrium gas, space velocity: 36000h-1. Results indicate that the catalyst prepared by dipping method had good denitrification activity and sulfur resistance at low temperature. The optimum ratio of catalyst was 3V2O5-6MoO3-91TiO2 (wt %). The conversion efficiency of NO was 80~93%, and the conversion efficiency of SO2 was less than 1% at 180~260 °C.

Mg-Mo-V-Ti catalysts of low temperature denitrification were prepared by dipping method. In order to study the activity of selective catalytic reduction, the catalyst was placed in a fixed bed reactor. Industrial flue gas was simulated with cylinder gas. Results indicate that the 0.1wt% content of MgO catalyst has good performance on denitration activity and sulfur resistance. The effects of oxygen content, space velocity and reaction temperature on the activity of the 0.1MgO-6MoO3-3V2O5-TiO2 wt% catalyst were investigated. With the increase of oxygen concentration, the denitrification efficiency increases when the oxygen concentration is less than 8%. When the oxygen content is greater than 8%, the denitrification efficiency is almost the same. The denitrification efficiency decreases with the increase of space velocity. The removal efficiency of NO 0.1MgO-6MoO3-3V2O5-TiO2 wt% catalyst over increases first and then becomes stable with the increase of temperature, and the conversion efficiency of SO2 is less than or equal to 2.2% at 120~240 °C.

In this study, we synthesized V2O5-WO3/TiO2 catalysts with different crystallinities via one-sided and isotropic heating methods. We then investigated the effects of the catalysts’ crystallinity on their acidity, surface species, and catalytic performance through various analysis techniques and a fixed-bed reactor experiment. The isotropic heating method produced crystalline V2O5 and WO3, increasing the availability of both Brønsted and Lewis acid sites, while the one-sided method produced amorphous V2O5 and WO3. The crystalline structure of the two species significantly enhanced NO2 formation, causing more rapid selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactions and greater catalyst reducibility for NOX decomposition. This improved NOX removal efficiency and N2 selectivity for a wider temperature range of 200 °C–450 °C. Additionally, the synthesized, crystalline catalysts exhibited good resistance to SO2, which is common in industrial flue gases. Through the results reported herein, this study may contribute to future studies on SCR catalysts and other catalyst systems.

Present paper is a part of our on-going model development activities with aim to predict formation tendency of gaseous emissions from CFB combustion of different fuels, and especially, fuel-mixtures in real furnaces of various scale. The model is based on detailed description of homogeneous, catalytic, and heterogeneous chemical kinetics, and a sound but simple 1.5D representation of fluid dynamics. Temperature distribution is assumed known. With the tool, different fuels and fuel mixtures can be compared in respect to their tendency to form nitrogen oxides (NOx, N2O). In this paper the model was tested to predict nitrogen oxide emissions from mono- or co-combustion of coal, wood, and sludge. The plants simulated were the 12MWth CFB combustor located at Chalmers Technical University (A = 2.25m2, h = 13.6m) and the pilot scale CFB unit at the Technical University Hamburg-Harburg (d = 0.1m, h = 15m). The results gave reasonable representation of the measured emission data, and reflected correctly to the changes in the fuel characteristics and in the furnace operating conditions in most cases. An extensive laboratory fixed-bed reactor study was also performed in order to obtain input values for the kinetic constants of the catalytic reactions for the reduction and decomposition of nitrogen oxides. In literature, there is a limited data available regarding the catalytic activity of CFB solids during combustion of wood- and waste-derived fuels, especially at co-firing conditions. The kinetics for the NO reduction by CO in the temperature range of 780–910°C was determined to be of the following form (NO = 300ppm, CO = 5000ppm): −rNO=k·[NO]0.48·[CO]0.55mol/g-s with k=8.15·exp(−8869/T)m3/kg-s(emptyreactoreffectincluded)ork=830·exp(−14930/T)(emptyreactoreffectexcluded), when using a bed sample (250–355 μm) taken from the transport zone in the CTH boiler while burning a mixture of wood pellets and a pre-dried municipal sewage sludge. The role of char particle size and shape as well as the incorporation of energy balance on the char reactivity and the formation of nitrogen oxides is further illustrated by single char particle oxidation simulations.

Abstract The ground water (GW) is a real sample of water which contains nitrates (81 mg/L), carbonates and sulphates. This sample was treated by catalytic reduction in a bubble column fixed-bed reactor. The reaction conditions were room temperature and atmospheric pressure, and hydrogen was used as reducing agent. A comparison between the catalytic activity of Pd,In/SiO2 and Pd,In/Al2O3 catalysts was performed, giving the latter the best results regarding the nitrate conversion and the former the selectivity to nitrogen. Synthetic water containing nitrates (SW) and the groundwater (GW) with high salinity (81 mg/L nitrates) and humic acid content were treated in these conditions using HCl and CO2 as acidifiers. When the SW was acidified with CO2 at an H2 flow (2.17 mL/min), more than 50 % of conversion was obtained with an ammonia and nitrite concentrations of 0.44 and 0.92 ppm respectively. These results reached the level established by the WHO and the USEPA. However, both Pd,In/SiO2 and Pd,In/Al2O3 catalysts showed evidence of some deactivation process. This deactivation was higher in the GW sample, possibly due to the presence of Ca+2 and Mg+2 cations that precipitate on the active sites, and/or the presence of humic acids. The characterization studies indicated that, after the reaction, the composition of the metal phases was modified, specifically on their surface. As the catalyst activity is related to surface ratio Pd/In, a relative increase in the concentration of Pd decreases the activity and causes changes in the selectivity to N2. Some sintering of the metal particles was also observed to contribute to catalyst deactivation. Nevertheless, promising results were obtained since a high water volume could be treated with a relatively low amount of low metal loading catalysts.

The emission from industries and the mobility sector is under strong legal regulations in many countries worldwide. In Germany, the amendment to the 17th BlmSchV (Federal pollution control ordinance), which has been in force for waste incineration plants since 2013, has given rise to a new limit for nitrogen oxides of 150 mg/m3 as the daily mean level from 2019 on. A similar focus is on biomass-fired plants. According to the MCP (medium combustion plant) guideline of the EU, as a consequence, existing plants are required to either increase their consumption of ammonia water for nitrogen oxide reduction (SNCR process) or back fit SCR catalysts as secondary measures, which is a costly procedure. This paper presents a novel two-stage process in which an oscillating supply of secondary air allows nitrogen oxides to be reduced by approx. 50% at a good burnout level, which may obviate the need for secondary measures. Besides experimental investigations in a fixed bed reactor, CFD simulations confirm a high potential for reduction of nitrogen oxides. Together with the company POLZENITH, this process is under development for scale-up in a biomass incineration plant as a next step.
