  • Patent number: 8173098
    Abstract: A catalyst for treating exhaust gases having excellent durability and performance for removing nitrogen oxides and organic halogen compounds and a low SO2 oxidation rate, a titanium oxide suitable for preparing the catalyst and a method for treating exhaust gases containing nitrogen oxides and/or organic halogen compounds using the catalyst are provided. The BET specific surface areas of the titanium oxide and the catalyst for treating exhaust gases are in the range of 85 to 250 m2/g and in the range of 50 to 200 m2/g respectively. The titanium oxide and the catalyst for treating exhaust gases have each a ratio in the range of 15 to 145%, the ratio of the intensity of the peak indicating an anatase crystal present in the range of 2?=24.7° to 2?=25.7° of powder X-ray diffraction thereof (Ia) to the intensity of the peak indicating an anatase crystal present in the range of 2?=24.7° to 2?=25.

  • Publication number: 20100111799
    Abstract: The present invention provides a catalyst for treating an organic acid-containing exhaust gas, which can remove by decomposing an organic acid such as acetic acid in an exhaust gas over a long period in high removal efficiency, and a method for treating an organic acid-containing exhaust gas using such a catalyst. The present invention is to provide a catalyst for treating an organic acid-containing exhaust gas, which comprises at least one catalyst component (A) selected from the group consisting of metals selected from the group consisting of La, Ce, Pr and W, an oxide of the metal, and a complex oxide of the metals; and at least one noble metal component (B) selected from the group consisting of Pt, Pd, Rh, Ru, Ir and Au.

  • Patent number: 7264784
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a new method for treating an exhaust gas, which can effectively treat an exhaust gas containing a nitrogen oxide and metal mercury over a long term, and also can be applied to treatment of a large volume of an exhaust gas. As a means of achieving this object, a method according to the present invention for treating an exhaust gas comprises performing a reaction of changing metal mercury into mercury halide in the presence of a halogen compound and treatment of a nitrogen oxide, using a Ti—V-containing catalyst, upon treatment of an exhaust gas containing a nitrogen oxide and metal mercury.

  • Patent number: 6884402
    Abstract: The present invention provides: a catalyst for purification of exhaust gases which catalyst is excellent as a denitrification catalyst which has still more excellent ability to remove nitrogen oxides and of which the ability to oxidize sulfur dioxide into sulfur trioxide is extremely suppressed and further as a catalyst which is favorable for efficiently removing organohalogen compounds, such as dioxins, from exhaust gases; a production process therefor; and a process for purification of exhaust gases. The catalyst for purification of exhaust gases comprises titanium oxide, molybdenum oxide, and vanadium oxide as catalytic components, wherein the titanium oxide and the molybdenum oxide are included in the catalyst in the form of: a binary closely mixed oxide which is beforehand prepared and includes titanium and molybdenum; and/or a trinary closely mixed oxide which is beforehand prepared and includes titanium, silicon, and molybdenum.
