  • Publication number: 20220152603
    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 SO2 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.

  • Patent number: 11045799
    Abstract: Provided are: a cleaning agent for a denitration catalyst; and a denitration catalyst regeneration method and a denitration catalyst regeneration system which make it possible to efficiently remove matter adhering to a surface of a catalyst and to greatly restore catalytic performance. The regeneration method includes: a prewashing step (S12) of washing a denitration catalyst with water; a liquid agent cleaning step (S14) of immersing the denitration catalyst washed with water in a liquid agent containing an inorganic acid and a fluorine compound; a step of recovering the denitration catalyst from the liquid agent; and a finish washing step (S16) of washing the denitration catalyst recovered from the liquid agent with a finish cleaning liquid which is water or sulfamic acid-containing water.
