Abstract

It is an object to provide a regenerated denitration catalyst whose denitration performance is restored compared with a denitration catalyst before use, utilizing a spent denitration catalyst, and a method for manufacturing the same. In a regenerated denitration catalyst according to the present disclosure, a spent denitration catalyst including a first titanium oxide as a main component, and a second titanium oxide are mixed. The spent denitration catalyst is already used in a denitration reaction in which nitrogen oxides in a gas are decomposed into nitrogen and water using a reducing agent. The second titanium oxide has a larger specific surface area per unit weight than the first titanium oxide. A content of the second titanium oxide based on a total weight of the first titanium oxide and the second titanium oxide is preferably 10% by weight or more and 90% by weight or less.

Claims (12)

1. A method for manufacturing a regenerated denitration catalyst for a denitration reaction, the method comprising:

using a mixed powder obtained by mixing a spent denitration catalyst powder comprising a first titanium oxide as a main component, and a second titanium oxide, and vanadium or a vanadium compound,

the spent denitration catalyst powder being obtained by grinding a spent denitration catalyst of honeycomb structure,

the spent denitration catalyst already being used in a denitration reaction in which nitrogen oxides in a gas are decomposed into nitrogen and water using a reducing agent, and

the second titanium oxide having a larger specific surface area per unit weight than the first titanium oxide,

the method further comprising:

applying a kneaded mixture of the mixed powder and a solvent on a plate-like substrate and manufacturing a plate-like regenerated denitration catalyst not having honeycomb structure,

wherein a content of vanadium or the vanadium compound is more than 0% by weight and 4% by weight or less based on a total weight of the regenerated denitration catalyst.

2. The method for manufacturing a regenerated denitration catalyst for a denitration reaction according to claim 1 , wherein 10% by weight or more and 90% by weight or less of the second titanium oxide is mixed based on a total weight of the first titanium oxide and the second titanium oxide.

3. The method for manufacturing a regenerated denitration catalyst for a denitration reaction according to claim 1 , wherein a predetermined amount of phosphorus or a phosphorus containing compound is added to the mixed powder.

4. The method for manufacturing a regenerated denitration catalyst for a denitration reaction according to claim 1 , the method comprising a step of coating a surface of the kneaded material applied on the plate-like substrate with vanadium and at least one of molybdenum or tungsten.

5. The method for manufacturing a regenerated denitration catalyst for a denitration reaction according to claim 1 , wherein a total weight of the first titanium oxide and the second titanium oxide based on a total weight of the regenerated denitration catalyst is in a range of 60% by weight to 85% by weight.
