  • Publication number: 20200254424
    Abstract: Provided are a mercury oxidation catalyst support structure with which a mercury oxidation reaction can be carried out while inhibiting the oxidation reaction for SO2 included in exhaust gas and a method for manufacturing the same. This mercury oxidation catalyst structure is characterized by vanadium being unevenly supported on the surface of the support structure. The method for manufacturing the mercury oxidation catalyst structure includes a step of incorporating an inactive support throughout from the inside to the surface of the structure using an inactive support-containing liquid and a step of immersing the structure having been subjected to the step in a liquid containing vanadium or applying the same liquid to the surface of the same structure, followed by drying and calcinating, thereby supporting vanadium on the inactive support present in the surface of the structure.

  • Patent number: 9802155
    Abstract: The present invention provide a method for purifying exhaust gas in which nitrogen oxides (NOx) gas is removed from a combustion exhaust gas. The method for purifying exhaust gas according to the invention is characterized in that water vapor is further added to raw exhaust gas to be processed to increase the water vapor concentration in the exhaust gas and the resulting moisture-adjusted exhaust gas is introduced into a denitration catalyst layer. The water vapor concentration in the moisture-adjusted exhaust gas is preferably 22.0% by volume or less in the total of the water vapor originally contained in the raw exhaust gas and the added water vapor.
