Effect of Operation Conditions on Activity of De-NOx SCR Catalysts before and after Poisoned by Alkali Metal
Zhundong coal has a huge proved reserve and many excellent properties. However, the alkali metal content in Zhundong coal is distinctly high, which can accelerate the deactivation of De-NOx SCR catalysts. Using solution impregnation method, the effect of operation conditions on activity of SCR catalysts before and after poisoned by sodium was experimentally investigated. The results show that the NO reduction ratio raises with the increase of NH3/NO ratio. Longer residence time results in higher NO reduction ratio. Compared with catalyst poisoned by NaCl, residence time presents less influence on activity of fresh catalyst in 250-400 oC, which is beneficial for De-NOx process. Both O2 and NO concentration have no apparent influence on NO reduction ratio.
