Abstract

Provided are a flue gas denitration catalyst having high denitration activity and capable of suppressing a side reaction, that is, oxidation of SO 2 ; and a preparation process of the catalyst. The flue gas denitration catalyst comprises TiO 2 , WO 3 and V 2 O 5 . In the surface layer of the catalyst within 200 μm from the surface thereof, V 2 O 5 is supported on a carrier containing TiO 2 and WO 3 . The supported amounts of V 2 O 5 range from 0.4 to 5 wt. % based on the weight of the surface layer and range from 0.1 to 0.9 wt. % based on the total weight of the catalyst. The V 2 O 5 thus supported has a crystallite size of less than 10 nm as measured by X-ray diffraction. The catalyst can be available by preparing a mixture containing TiO 2 and WO 3 and having V 2 O 5 supported on the surface of an extruded product of the prepared mixture by a vapor phase method. The catalyst can be also available by having V 2 O 5 supported on a powder of the prepared mixture by a vapor phase method and having the resulting powder supported on the surface of a formed product.

Claims (10)

1. A flue gas denitration catalyst comprising vanadium pentoxide supported on a carrier containing titanium dioxide and tungsten trioxide, which is obtained by preparing a mixture containing titanium dioxide and tungsten trioxide, and then supporting vanadium pentoxide on the surface of an extruded catalyst body or on a powder of the prepared mixture using a vapor phase method, wherein the vanadium pentoxide has a crystallite size of 8 nm or less as measured by X-ray diffraction.

2. The flue gas denitration catalyst of claim 1 , which is obtained by supporting vanadium pentoxide on a powder of the prepared mixture using a vapor phase method, and by further supporting said powder on the surface of another formed product.

3. The flue gas denitration catalyst of claim 2 , wherein the formed product has a honeycomb shape.

4. The flue gas denitration catalyst of claim 2 , wherein the formed product contains titanium dioxide, tungsten trioxide and vanadium pentoxide.

5. The flue gas denitration catalyst of claim 1 , wherein titanium dioxide and tungsten trioxide in the mixture exists in the form of a complex oxide thereof.

6. The flue gas denitration catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the supported amounts of vanadium pentoxide range from 0.4 to 5 wt. % based on the weight of a surface layer of the catalyst, which has a thickness of 200 μm from its surface, and range from 0.1 to 0.9 wt. % based on the total weight of the catalyst.

7. The flue gas denitration catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the extruded catalyst body has a honeycomb shape.

8. The flue gas denitration catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the mixture further contains silicon dioxide.

9. The flue gas denitration catalyst of claim 8 , wherein titanium dioxide, tungsten trioxide and silicon dioxide in the mixture exists in the form of a complex oxide thereof.

10. A flue gas denitration catalyst comprising titanium dioxide, tungsten trioxide and vanadium pentoxide, wherein vanadium pentoxide is supported on a carrier containing titanium dioxide and tungsten trioxide in a surface layer of the catalyst, which has a thickness of 200 μm from its surface, wherein the supported amounts of vanadium pentoxide range from 0.4 to 5 wt. % based on the weight of the surface layer and range from 0.1 to 0.9 wt. % based on the total weight of the catalyst, and wherein vanadium pentoxide thus supported has a crystallite size of less than 8 nm as measured by X-ray diffraction.
