SCR catalyst NOx removal performance Durability to SO2 Metal foam

PDF

The emission of SO2 is inevitable in case of combustion of most fossil fuels except LNG in commercial power plant which has a bad effect on the durability of SCR catalyst. To develop a low temperature SCR catalyst which has a high NOx removal performance and excellent durability to SO2, V2O5/TiO2 catalysts were prepared by coating on the metal foam substrate with the impregnation amount of Sb2O3 as promotor. This study has evaluated the NOx removal performance and the durability to SO2 on a laboratory scale atmospheric reactor and analyzed the properties of the prepared catalysts by means of porosimeter, BET, SEM (scanning electron microscope), EDX (energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer), XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy). It was found that the surface area of catalyst increased with the impregnation amount of Sb2O3 and the NOx removal performance showed the highest value at the 2 wt% impregnation of Sb2O3. This results was considered to be due to the optimum active site on the catalyst surface. And also, Sb2O3 impregnated catalysts presented that NOx removal performance was maintained despite the exposure to SO2 for 5 hours. Therefore it was confirmed that metal foam SCR catalyst for low temperature could be manufactured with the optimum control of Sb2O3 impregnation according to the SO2 presence or not.
