  • Patent number: 5728356
    Abstract: A method of denitrating an exhaust gas by means of removing nitrogen oxides catalytically using ammonia as a reducing agent while introducing an exhaust gas containing the nitrogen oxides into a reaction vessel packed with a catalyst, comprising:providing a denitration catalyst layer in the upstream of the gas flow, an ammonia decomposition catalyst layer capable of decomposing oxidatively ammonia into nitrogen and nitrogen oxides in the downstream and a second denitration catalyst layer or a denitration catalyst layer capable of decomposing ammonia in the further downstream; and,adding ammonia in an amount not less than the reaction equivalence for the nitrogen oxides in the exhaust gas to the inlet of the first denitration catalyst layer.

  • Patent number: 4615991
    Abstract: A method for recovering a denitrating catalyst which is characterized by washing, with an aqueous oxalic acid solution, the used tungsten-titania or the tungsten-titania-vanadium denitrating catalyst which dust components have adhered to or have accumulated on and in which an SO.sub.2 -oxidizing power has thus risen; impregnating the catalyst with a tungsten compound; and drying and calcining the thus treated catalyst.

  • Patent number: 4564604
    Abstract: A catalyst for treating waste gases comprising nitrogen oxides, which catalyst comprises a protonized zeolite coating formed on the surface of a catalytic ingredient. This type of catalyst has a prolonged life and is very useful in treating waste gases comprising nitrogen oxides by adding ammonia to the waste gas and reducing the nitrogen oxides in the waste gas with the catalyst to render the nitrogen oxides non-noxious.
