Abstract

Provided is a denitration catalyst with an improved wear resistance capable of stably reducing and removing nitrogen oxides in flue gases for a long period of time and a production method therefor. A denitration catalyst obtained by having a honey comb molded body that contains at least titanium oxide and vanadium pentoxide support magnesium surface, and wherein the peak intensity ratio of the first peak of the magnesium sulfate to the first peak of the titanium oxide in X-ray diffraction is 0.05-0.15, the content of the magnesium sulfate increases by 6-22% by mass, the pore volume is 0.17-0.40 cc/g, and the specific surface area is 33-100 m 2 /g.

Claims (18)

1. A denitration catalyst which comprises:

magnesium sulfate carried on a honeycomb molded body, wherein

the honeycomb molded body comprises titanium oxide, vanadium pentoxide and tungsten oxide,

a content of magnesium in portions close to a surface of the denitration catalyst measured by electron probe micro analysis (EPMA) is more than a content of magnesium in a center of the denitration catalyst,

the portions close to the surface of the denitration catalyst are constituted by walls arranged inside the catalyst that form through holes formed in the direction of flow of a flue gas, which have a depth of 200 μm from the surface of the walls on which the walls contact the flue gas toward the inside of the walls,

the center of the catalyst is a portion which has a width of ±100 μm from the center of the inside of the wall of the denitration catalyst,

a content of the magnesium sulfate carried on the honeycomb molded body is 7% by mass to 14.5% by mass of the honeycomb molded body,

a pore volume of the denitration catalyst is 0.17 cc/g to 0.40 cc/g, and

a specific surface area of the denitration catalyst is 33 m 2 /g to 100 m 2 /g.

2. The denitration catalyst according to claim 1 , wherein vanadium sulfate is further carried on the honeycomb molded body.

3. A method of producing a denitration catalyst comprising:

a step of providing a honeycomb molded body which comprises titanium oxide, vanadium pentoxide and tungsten oxide,

a vanadium sulfate carrying step of carrying vanadium sulfate on the honeycomb molded body in a content of 0.3% by mass to 1% by mass of the honeycomb molded body, by immersing the honeycomb molded body in an aqueous solution of the vanadium sulfate, which step is followed by

a magnesium sulfate carrying step of carrying magnesium sulfate on the honeycomb molded body in a content of 7% by mass to 14.5% by mass of the honeycomb molded body, by immersing the honeycomb molded body in a 30° C. to 70° C. aqueous solution of magnesium sulfate; and

a firing step of firing the honeycomb molded body at 510° C. to 550° C., which step is performed after the magnesium sulfate carrying step.

4. A method of producing a denitration catalyst at least comprising the steps of:

a carrying step of carrying magnesium sulfate increased by 7% by mass to 14.5% by mass and 0.3% by mass to 1% by mass of vanadium sulfate on a honeycomb molded body which at least includes titanium oxide and vanadium pentoxide by immersing the honeycomb molded body in a 30° C. to 70° C. mixed solution of an aqueous solution of magnesium sulfate and an aqueous solution of vanadium sulfate; and

a firing step of firing the honeycomb molded body at 510° C. to 550° C., which is performed after the carrying step.
