Abstract

Provided are an exhaust gas treatment catalyst for denitrifying an exhaust gas including sulfur oxides and vanadium discharged from a heavy oil combustion boiler, including: a support comprising any one or all of titanium oxide and silica wherein a content of silica is from 10% to 20%, and an active component supported in the support and comprising one selected from the group consisting of vanadium and tungsten.

Claims (9)

1. A method for regenerating an exhaust gas treatment catalyst whose NO x removal performance is reduced by sulfur dioxides and vanadium included in an exhaust gas discharged from a heavy oil combustion boiler,

the exhaust gas treatment catalyst comprising:

titanium and silica; and

an active component comprising one selected from the group consisting of vanadium and tungsten in a support having an Si content of 10% by mass or more, and

the method comprising:

immersing the exhaust gas treatment catalyst in an alkali cleaning liquid at a concentration from 0.5 N to 2.0 N so as to remove vanadium oxysulfate on the surface of the exhaust gas treatment catalyst, and

subjecting the catalyst to activation treatment with an acid aqueous solution after cleaning the exhaust gas treatment catalyst with the alkali cleaning liquid.

2. The method for regenerating an exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the exhaust gas treatment catalyst further comprises a coating layer formed of at least one component selected from the group consisting of silicalite and metallosilicate on a surface thereof.

3. The method for regenerating an exhaust gas treatment catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein the alkali cleaning liquid is an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, sodium carbonate, sodium bicarbonate or potassium carbonate, and the acid aqueous solution is an aqueous solution of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, hydrogen fluoride or sulfuric acid.
