Abstract: Provided is a method for producing a transition-metal-containing silicoaluminophosphate that is highly suitable as a catalyst or an adsorbent and has excellent high-temperature hydrothermal durability and excellent water resistance, that is, excellent durability against water submersion (water-submersion durability), in a simple and efficient manner. A method for producing a transition-metal-containing zeolite, the method comprising a steam treatment step in which a transition-metal-containing zeolite is stirred at 710° C. or more and 890° C. or less in the presence of water vapor, the transition-metal-containing zeolite containing a transition metal in a zeolite having a framework structure including silicon atoms, phosphorus atoms, and aluminium atoms.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a copper-supported zeolite containing a zeolite having a framework structure including silicon atoms, phosphorus atoms, and aluminum atoms, and copper supported on the zeolite, wherein the copper-supported zeolite satisfies (1) to (3): (1) an amount of copper (in terms of copper atoms) supported on the copper-supported zeolite is 1.5% by weight or more and 3.5% by weight or less, (2) the copper-supported zeolite has an UV-Vis-NIR absorption intensity ratio of less than 0.35 as determined by a formula (I) below: Intensity (22,000 cm?1)/Intensity (12,500 cm?1) . . . (I), and (3) a silicon atom content of the copper-supported zeolite satisfies a formula (II) below: 0.07?x?0.11 . . . . (II) where x represents a ratio of the number of moles of the silicon atoms to the total number of moles of the silicon atoms, the aluminum atoms, and the phosphorus atoms contained in the framework structure of the copper-supported zeolite.

Abstract: In a method for treating a combustion exhaust gas from a waste burning facility, the exhaust gas has its temperature lowered to 180-230.degree. C., in a temperature lowering unit, is freed of dust in a dry dust collector, passed through a dioxin and NOx removing unit using a vanadium oxide-based catalyst and, thereafter, the exhaust gas at 180-230.degree. C. is further passed through a heat exchanger to effect heat recovery. The vanadium oxide-based catalyst is a vanadium oxide alone or the combination thereof either with an oxide of at least one element selected from the group consisting of molybdenum, tin, yttrium, boron and lead or with gold. In addition, a tungsten oxide may be used. These catalysts are preferably carried on titania for use. The method and an apparatus for implementing it require a simple system configuration and yet assure high thermal efficiency while achieving efficient removal of dioxins and nitrogen oxides.
