  • Patent number: 10987655
    Abstract: A molybdenum-vanadium bimetal oxide catalyst having a molecular formula of Mo1Vy, where y represents an atomic molar ratio of vanadium and molybdenum. An oxygen support Mo1Vy is prepared by an impregnation method including impregnation, drying, calcination, and tablet pressing. In the dehydrogenation reaction of a light alkane to an alkene over the supported molybdenum-vanadium bimetal oxide, the reaction temperature is 450° C.-550° C. Propane can be oxidized and dehydrogenated to produce propylene with a high activity and high selectivity. A conversion rate of propane remains at 30%-40%, and a selectivity for propylene is 80%-90%. A fresh oxygen support changes from a high-valence state to a low-valence state after reacting with propane. A low-valence state oxygen support reacts with air or oxygen to be oxidized to a high-valence state, and recovers lattice oxygen and cycles again.

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.

    Abstract: The present invention relates to a particle filter comprising a porous carrier body, an SCR active component and an oxidation catalyst, wherein the SCR active component is present as coating on the exhaust-gas entry surface and the inner surface of the porous carrier body and the oxidation catalyst as coating on the exhaust-gas exit surface of the porous carrier body. According to the invention the oxidation catalyst changes its function depending on operating conditions. In normal operation it serves as NH3 slip catalyst for oxidizing excess NH3 and during filter regeneration it operates according to the 3-way principle for converting NOx and CO. The invention also relates to a method for producing the particle filter, the use of the particle filter for treating exhaust gases from the combustion of fossil, synthetic or biofuels as well as an exhaust-gas cleaning system which contains the particle filter according to the invention.

  • Publication number: 20140329668
    Abstract: A NOx removal catalyst for high-temperature flue gas according to the present invention is a NOx removal catalyst for high-temperature flue gas that contains nitrogen oxide in which tungsten oxide with the number of molecular layers of tungsten oxide (WO3) being five or less is supported on a complex oxide carrier containing titanium oxide. Even when high-temperature denitration is continued, a bonding force with a carrier of WO3 can be properly maintained and volatilization can be suppressed while maintaining a high NOx removal performance. For example, the NOx removal catalyst is particularly suitable for reducing and removing nitrogen oxide contained in high-temperature gas discharged from a thermal power plant and a high-temperature boiler.
