Process for catalytic vapor phase reduction of nitrogen oxides and catalyst composition used therefor

Patent ·
OSTI ID:5693450
A catalyst composition is disclosed for the vapor phase reduction of nitrogen oxides with ammonia, which consists essentially of a non-noble transition metal compound supported on a shaped carrier comprising a titanium oxide and a clay mineral having an average particle size of 0.1 to 100 microns. The shaped carrier preferably contains an additional component which is an inorganic fibrous material, silica hydrogel, silica sol, or a mixture of at least two of these. An exhaust gas containing nitrogen oxides is treated, with a high percent no removal, by contacting it with the catalyst composition in the presence of ammonia gas at 200 to 600/sup 0/C.
