Method for purifying exhaust gas containing mercury metal, oxidation catalyst for mercury metal in exhaust gas and method for producing the same
View Patent ↗Provided are a catalyst for removing mercury metal, which has high activity for a long time even in an exhaust gas containing SO 2 , and a method for oxidizing mercury metal using the catalyst. A method for purifying exhaust gas, including bringing an exhaust gas containing mercury metal into contact with a catalyst containing titanium oxide as a first component and a sulfate or phosphate of nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn) or vanadium as a second component, at a temperature of from 100° C. to 200° C., and thereby oxidizing the mercury metal.
1. A method for purifying exhaust gas, comprising bringing an exhaust gas containing sulfur oxides and mercury metal into contact with a catalyst containing titanium oxide as a first component and a sulfate or phosphate of nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn) or vanadium as a second component, at a temperature of from 100° C. to 200° C., and thereby oxidizing the mercury metal.
2. An oxidation catalyst for mercury metal in exhaust gas, comprising titanium oxide as a first component and a phosphate of nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn) or vanadium as a second component.
3. The catalyst according to claim 2 , further comprising an oxoacid or oxoate of molybdenum (Mo) or tungsten (W) as a third component.
4. The catalyst according to claim 2 , wherein the maximum hysteretic temperature of the catalyst is 300° C. or lower.
5. A method for producing an oxidation catalyst for mercury metal, comprising using titanium oxide as a first component and a sulfate or phosphate of nickel (Ni), manganese (Mn) or vanadium as a second component, kneading the first component and the second component at an atomic ratio of the second component to the first component of 0.03 to 0.3 in the presence of water, subsequently applying the kneading product on a base material to form the kneading product into a plate shape or a honeycomb shape, and drying and calcining the resultant product at a maximum hysteretic temperature of 300° C. or lower.
6. The method for producing a catalyst according to claim 5 , wherein when the first component and the second component are kneaded, an oxoacid or oxoate of molybdenum (Mo) or tungsten (W) is further added as a third component.
7. The catalyst according to claim 3 , wherein the maximum hysteretic temperature of the catalyst is 300° C. or lower.
8. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is a sulfate of nickel.
9. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is a sulfate of manganese.
10. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is a sulfate of vanadium.
11. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of nickel.
12. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of manganese.
13. The method according to claim 1 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of vanadium.
14. The catalyst according to claim 2 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of nickel.
15. The catalyst according to claim 2 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of manganese.
16. The catalyst according to claim 2 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of vanadium.
17. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of nickel.
18. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of manganese.
19. The method of claim 5 , wherein the second component is a phosphate of vanadium.
