  • Publication number: 20120213683
    Abstract: Provided is a method capable of removing a low concentration of amines contained in an exhaust gas that is discharged from a CO2 recovery process, at low temperature with high efficiency. A method of treating an exhaust gas containing carbon dioxide, the method including absorbing and removing CO2 by bringing an exhaust gas containing carbon dioxide (CO2) and nitrogen oxides, into contact with a CO2 absorbent liquid containing amines, subsequently bringing the resultant into contact with a catalyst comprising titanium oxide and an oxide of vanadium (V), or from titanium oxide, an oxide of vanadium (V) and an oxide of molybdenum (Mo) or tungsten (W), at a temperature of 130° C. to 250° C., and thereby oxidizing and removing the amines.

  • Patent number: 7824635
    Abstract: A particulate material removing filter for exhaust gas from a diesel engine is provided. The particulate material removing filter is formed by laminating metal laths having an oxidation catalyst layer containing a noble metal that oxidizes nitrogen oxide in exhaust gas into nitrogen dioxide. The metal laths are laminated to form a laminate in such a manner that the drawing direction of the metal lath processing differs by 90 degrees with each other.

  • Patent number: 7005402
    Abstract: The invention is to provide (i) a catalyst which does not require an activation of catalyst components by means of a calcination which has become a hindrance in the way of obtaining a catalyst having a high activity through a conventional technology and in which catalyst the compositing of vanadium with molybdenum is contemplated more than enough; ii) a method for producing the catalyst; (iii) a catalyst having an activity, especially having an activity at low temperatures and a durability both greatly increased; (iv) a catalyst compound for purifying an exhaust gas, in which compound the ratio of vanadium atom to molybdenum atom (V/Mo) is 3/2 or close thereto and which compound is expressed by the rational formula (NH4)xMo2VxO(3x+6) wherein x is 2.8 to 3.2; and (v) a method for producing the catalyst compound through a step for reacting molybdenum oxide (MoO3) with ammonium metavanadate (NH4VO3) in the co-presence of water for a prescribed period of time.

  • Patent number: 6833117
    Abstract: The catalyst structure of the present invention for purifying an exhaust gas is preferable for increasing the contact of an exhaust gas, to be treated, with a catalyst by disturbing the flow of the exhaust gas in a gas flow passage thereby obtain a highly efficient and compact apparatus for treating the exhaust gas. Such catalyst structure is produced by forming two or more catalyst elements each supporting a catalyst component on its surface and having flat plate portions and level-changing portions formed alternately therein with the angle formed between the flat plate portion and the level-changing portion being in a specific range, and then stacking the catalyst elements in a frame. A catalyst structure is also obtained by stacking a large number of the catalyst elements described above through metallic, ceramic, or glass netlike members interposed therebetween and each having a large number of perforated holes.

  • Patent number: 6759565
    Abstract: The invention is to provide (1) a method for decomposing chlorine containing organic compounds (DXNs) contained in an exhaust gas in which method a high decomposition ratio of the DXNs can be obtained even at a low temperature and the effects by SOx can be repressed to a minimum and (2) a method for treating a used catalyst; the method for decomposing DXNs contained in an exhaust gas comprises contacting the DXNs contained in the exhaust gas with nitrogen dioxide (NO2) which is contained in the exhaust gas or added from the outside into the exhaust gas at 100 to 450° C. in the presence of a catalyst comprising a titanium oxideu, molybdenum oxide, and vanadium oxide, the contents of Ti, Mo, and V in which catalyst being in the range of 99 to 70/0.5 to 15/0.

  • Patent number: 6710013
    Abstract: Provided is a catalyst structure used for purifying an exhaust gas; to be disposed in an exhaust gas flow passage; preferable for obtaining a highly efficient and compact exhaust gas purifying apparatus; and produced by alternately stacking platelike catalysts 1, and gas dispersing members composed of netlike products 7 having many holes passing from the front surface to the back surface thereof, or linear, belt-shaped, or rodlike materials of a metal, ceramic, or glass to disturb the flow of an exhaust gas in a flow passage of the gas thereby to promote contact of the gas to be treated with the catalyst.
