  • Patent number: 8992870
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising 0.1-10 mol % Co3-xMxO4, where M is Fe or Al and x=0-2, on a cerium oxide support for decomposition of N2O in gases containing NO. The catalyst may also contain 0.01-2 weight % ZrO2. The invention further comprises a method for performing a process comprising formation of N2O. The N2O containing gas is brought in contact with a catalyst comprising 0.1-10 mol % Co3-xMxO4, where M is Fe or Al and x=0-2, on a cerium oxide support, at 250-1000° C. The method may comprise that ammonia is oxidized in presence of an oxidation catalyst and that the thereby formed gas mixture is brought in contact with the catalyst comprising the cobalt component on cerium oxide support at a temperature of 500-1000° C.

  • Patent number: 4973457
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of reduction of nitrogen oxides in gas mixtures, especially the removal/decomposition of nitrogen oxide in hot combustion gases. The hot gas mixture which contains N.sub.2 O is given a retention time of 0.1-3 seconds before being cooled down. About 90% of N.sub.2 O is thereby decomposed to N.sub.2 and O.sub.2. A hot gas mixture formed by catalytic combustion of ammonia is given a retention time of 0.5-2 seconds before it is cooled in a heat recovery unit. The combustion gases can also be brought in contact with a metal or metal oxide catalyst for selective decomposition of the N.sub.2 O.
