  • Patent number: 10882031
    Abstract: A catalyst for treating an exhaust gas comprising SO2, NOx and elemental mercury in the presence of a nitrogenous reductant comprises a composition containing oxides of: (i) Molybdenum (Mo) and optionally Tungsten (W); and (ii) Vanadium (V); and (iii) Titanium (Ti); and (iv) Phosphorus (P), wherein, with respect to the total metal atoms in the composition, the composition comprises: (i) Mo in an amount of less than 2 at. %, and optionally up to 9 at. % W; (ii) from 2.5 to 12 at. % V; (iii) from 85 to 96 at. % Ti, and wherein the composition comprises (iv) P in an atomic ratio to the sum of atoms of Mo, W and V of from 1:2 to 3:2. The values expressed must total 100%.

  • Patent number: 10773252
    Abstract: A catalyst for treating an exhaust gas comprising SO2, NOx and elemental mercury in the presence of a nitrogenous reductant comprises a composition containing oxides of: (i) Molybdenum (Mo) and/or Tungsten (W); (ii) Vanadium (V); (iii) Titanium (Ti), and (iv) an MFI zeolite, wherein the composition comprises, based on the total weight of the composition: (i) 1 to 6 wt % of MoO3 and/or 1 to 10 wt % WO3; and (ii) 0.1 to 3 wt % V2O5, and (iii) 48.5 to 94.5 wt % TiO2; and (iv) 35 to 50 wt % MFI zeolite.

  • Patent number: 10618000
    Abstract: Articles comprising a catalyst film comprising VOx, MoO3 or WO3, and TiO2 deposited on a substrate are disclosed. The articles are useful for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx in exhaust gases. Methods for producing such articles deposit a catalyst film on the substrate to form a coated substrate, which is then calcined. When used in an SCR process, the coated articles have enhanced activity for NOx conversion, reduced activity for SOx conversion, or both. Light-weight, coated articles having high catalyst loads can be fabricated at the same or reduced dimensions when compared with laminated articles, and increased kNOx/kSOx ratios are available even from coated articles having relatively thin catalyst films. The articles should have particular value for power plant operations, where coal and high-sulfur fuels are commonly used and controlling sulfur trioxide generation is critical.

  • Patent number: 9782721
    Abstract: Systems and methods of continuous operation of a urea-SCR system at low temperatures (200-350° C.) in the presence of high SOx containing flue gas are described. The methods comprise introducing a solution of urea and an NO2 forming compound, preferably an alkaline earth metal nitrate, into an exhaust stream before the exhaust stream contacts an SCR catalyst.
