Title: Catalyst for the reduction of nitrogen oxides in gaseous mixtures and method of making the catalyst

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6434040

A catalyst useful for the reduction of nitrogen oxide comprising vanadium and optionally, tungsten deposited on an inorganic oxide support, preferably titania. A precursor of the catalyst is treated with an acid from the group comprising the moderately strong organic acids and/or the strong mineral acids, excluding sulfuric acid and phosphoric acid, preferably following the deposition of the metal(S). Other aspects of the invention are a method of preparing the catalyst and a process for its use wherein a gaseous stream of nitrogen oxide and ammonia is contacted with the catalyst at reductive reaction conditions.
