Selective removal of nitrogen oxides from waste gases

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5130792

A process for the selective removal of nitrogen oxides from waste gases containing sulfur oxides as well as nitrogen oxides is described. The waste gases are contacted with a catalyst comprising active metal oxides consisting of vanadium oxide and at least one of molybdenum oxide and tungsten oxide as a catalytically active component and ..cap alpha..-alumina having a specific surface area of 0.3 to 12 m/sup 2//g and a pore volume of 0.1 cm/sup 3//g or more as a carrier. The atomic ratio of the vanadium, molybdenum, tungsten and aluminum contained in the carrier alumina is given. The catalyst works in the presence of ammonia of 0.3 to 4 mol on the basis of 1 mol of nitrogen oxides contained in the waste gases at a temperature of 150 to 700/sup 0/C.
