Abstract

An exhaust gas treatment catalyst for removal of one or more pollutants in an exhaust gas, the catalyst comprising: a SO 3 -reducing catalyst powder which removes the above-described pollutants; and a diluent powder which is not the SO 3 -reducing catalyst powder nor a catalyst for reactions between exhaust gas components and a reagent, wherein the SO 3 -reducing catalyst powder is dispersed in the diluent powder.

Claims (24)

1. An exhaust gas treatment catalyst for removal of one or more pollutants in an exhaust gas containing NO X and SO 3 , the catalyst comprising:

a catalytic powder which removes NO X and SO 3 ; and

a diluent powder which is not a catalyst for exhaust gas reactions nor a catalyst for reactions between exhaust gas components and a reagent,

wherein the catalyst containing both a catalytic powder and a diluent powder is extruded into a honeycomb;

wherein the catalytic powder is dispersed in the diluent powder; and

wherein said diluent powder adsorbs poisons emitted from coal, heavy oil or fuel oil C.

2. The exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the catalytic powder reduces sulfur trioxide with an ammonia reagent.

3. The exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to claim 2 , wherein the catalytic powder comprises (1) titania-tungsten oxide or silica, and (2) ruthenium.

4. The exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to claim 3 , wherein ruthenium is 0.1 parts by weight or more, and 10 parts by weight or less relative to 100 parts by weight of titania-tungsten oxide or silica.

5. The exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to any one of claim 1 to claim 4 , wherein the diluent powder is silica.

6. The exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to any one of claim 1 to claim 4 , wherein the content of the catalytic powder in the exhaust gas treatment catalyst is 1% or more, and 50% or less.

7. The exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to claim 5 , wherein the content of the catalytic powder in the exhaust gas treatment catalyst is 1% or more, and 50% or less.

8. An exhaust gas treatment method for removing nitrogen oxides and sulfur trioxide contained in an exhaust gas, the method comprising the step of:

allowing the exhaust gas after addition of ammonia to come into contact with the exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to claim 3 , so as to reduce the sulfur trioxide and reduce the nitrogen oxides.

9. An exhaust gas treatment apparatus for removing nitrogen oxides and sulfur trioxide contained in an exhaust gas,

wherein the exhaust gas treatment apparatus is disposed in contact with the exhaust gas after addition of ammonia and includes the exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to claim 3 , so as to reduce the sulfur trioxide and reduce the nitrogen oxide through the use of the exhaust gas treatment catalyst.

10. The exhaust gas treatment apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein the exhaust gas treatment apparatus further comprises a denitration catalyst disposed downstream from the exhaust gas treatment catalyst, so as to further reduce the nitrogen oxides through the use of the denitration catalyst.

11. An exhaust gas treatment catalyst for removal of one or more pollutants in an exhaust gas containing NO X and SO 3 , the catalyst comprising:

a catalytic powder which removes NO X and SO 3 ; and

a diluent powder which is not a catalyst for exhaust gas reactions nor a catalyst for reactions between exhaust gas components and a reagent,

wherein the catalyst containing both a catalytic powder and a diluent powder is extruded into a honeycomb;

wherein the catalytic powder is dispersed in the diluent powder;

wherein said diluent powder adsorbs poisons; and

wherein said diluent powder is silica.
