Abstract

Provided is a silver-supported alumina catalyst for reducing nitrogen oxides using ethanol, which has the drawbacks of the conventional silver-supported alumina catalysts improved, has high performance, is not likely to deteriorate over time, and has excellent initial performance and durability. A catalyst for purifying nitrogen oxides, which purifies nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas using an alcohol as a reducing agent, and contains alumina, aluminum sulfate and silver as main components.

Claims (12)

1. A catalyst for purifying nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas using an alcohol as a reducing agent, the catalyst comprising alumina, aluminum sulfate and silver as main components; wherein the catalyst contains 0.5% to 5% by weight of silver and 1% to 4% by weight of aluminum sulfate based on alumina.

2. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst contains 1% to 2% by weight of silver.

3. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the weight ratio of aluminum sulfate to silver is from 1 to 2.

4. The catalyst of claim 1 , wherein the catalyst consists of alumina, aluminum sulfate, and silver.

5. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 1 , comprising impregnating alumina with a silver salt solution, subsequently calcining the impregnated alumina to obtain a silver-supported alumina catalyst, and supporting aluminum sulfate on the silver-supported alumina catalyst.

6. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 5 , wherein the catalyst contains 1% to 2% by weight of silver.

7. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 5 , wherein the weight ratio of aluminum sulfate to silver is from 1 to 2.

8. The method of claim 5 , wherein the catalyst consists of alumina, aluminum sulfate, and silver.

9. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 5 , wherein the silver salt is an aqueous solution of silver nitrate, silver chloride, or silver sulfate.

10. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 9 , wherein the silver salt is an aqueous solution of silver nitrate.

11. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 9 , wherein the silver salt is an aqueous solution of silver chloride.

12. The method for producing the catalyst according to claim 9 , wherein the silver salt is an aqueous solution of silver sulfate.
