Abstract

Provided are a denitration catalyst regeneration method and a denitration catalyst regeneration system, which are capable of recovering denitration performance to a high level and reducing the SO 2 oxidation rate of a catalyst. A denitration catalyst regeneration method according to the present invention includes: a chemical solution cleaning step for immersing a denitration catalyst in a chemical solution containing a fluorine compound and an inorganic acid; a step for extracting the denitration catalyst from the chemical solution; and a finish washing step for washing the denitration catalyst extracted from the chemical solution with a finish cleaning solution containing an organic acid.

Claims (64)

1. A denitration catalyst regeneration method comprising:

a chemical washing step of immersing a denitration catalyst in a chemical containing a fluorine compound and an inorganic acid;

a step of taking the denitration catalyst out of the chemical; and

a finish washing step of washing the denitration catalyst taken out of the chemical with a finish washing liquid containing an organic acid.

2. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the chemical further contains a surfactant, and

the surfactant is a nonionic surfactant or an anionic surfactant.

3. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the nonionic surfactant is a surfactant mainly containing a polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol, a polyoxyethylene derivative, or a polyalkylene glycol derivative.

4. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 2 ,

wherein the anionic surfactant is a surfactant mainly containing a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether phosphoric acid ester.

5. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the inorganic acid includes a sulfamic acid.

6. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 5 ,

wherein the inorganic acid further includes a hydrochloric acid, or further includes a hydrochloric acid and a boric acid.

7. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 1 ,

wherein the organic acid includes at least an oxalic acid, and the finish washing liquid is organic acid-containing water containing one or more types of organic acids.

8. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 1 , further comprising a pre-washing step of water-washing the denitration catalyst before the chemical washing step.

9. A denitration catalyst regeneration method comprising:

a chemical washing step of immersing a denitration catalyst in a chemical containing a fluorine compound and a first organic acid;

a step of taking the denitration catalyst out of the chemical; and

a finish washing step of washing the denitration catalyst taken out of the chemical with a finish washing liquid containing a first inorganic acid.

10. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 9 ,

wherein the chemical further contains a surfactant, and

the surfactant is a nonionic surfactant or an anionic surfactant.

11. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the nonionic surfactant is a surfactant mainly containing a polyoxyethylene polyoxypropylene glycol, a polyoxyethylene derivative, or a polyalkylene glycol derivative.

12. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 10 ,

wherein the anionic surfactant is a surfactant mainly containing a polyoxyalkylene alkyl ether phosphoric acid ester.

13. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first organic acid includes an oxalic acid.

14. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 9 ,

wherein the first inorganic acid includes at least a sulfamic acid, and the finish washing liquid is inorganic acid-containing water containing one or more types of inorganic acids.

15. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 9 ,

wherein the chemical further contains a second inorganic acid.

16. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 15 ,

wherein the second inorganic acid includes a sulfamic acid.

wherein the second inorganic acid further includes a hydrochloric acid, or further includes a hydrochloric acid and a boric acid.

18. The denitration catalyst regeneration method according to claim 9 , further comprising a pre-washing step of water-washing the denitration catalyst before the chemical washing step.

19. A denitration catalyst regeneration system comprising:

a chemical washing portion which immerses a denitration catalyst in a chemical containing a fluorine compound and an inorganic acid; and

a finish washing portion which subjects the denitration catalyst taken out of the chemical to finish washing with a finish washing liquid containing an organic acid.

20. The denitration catalyst regeneration system according to claim 19 ,

wherein the chemical washing portion is configured to perform immersion in a chemical containing a sulfamic acid as the inorganic acid.

21. The denitration catalyst regeneration system according to claim 20 ,

wherein the chemical washing portion is configured to perform immersion in a chemical further containing a hydrochloric acid, or a hydrochloric acid and a boric acid as the inorganic acid.

22. The denitration catalyst regeneration system according to claim 19 ,

wherein the finish washing portion is configured to perform finish washing with organic acid-containing water containing at least an oxalic acid as the organic acid and containing one or more types of organic acids.

23. The denitration catalyst regeneration system according to claim 19 , further comprising a pre-washing portion which water-washes the denitration catalyst before the immersion in the chemical.

24. A denitration catalyst regeneration system comprising:

a chemical washing portion which immerses a denitration catalyst in a chemical containing a fluorine compound and a first organic acid; and

a finish washing portion which subjects the denitration catalyst taken out of the chemical to finish washing with a finish washing liquid containing a first inorganic acid.
