Assessment of catalysts for control of NO/sub x/ from stationary power plants. Phase 1, Volume I. Final report

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:7356872
The report summarizes results of investigations to assess the technical and economic feasibility of using catalytic processes in power plant nitrogen oxide (NOx) emission abatement. The investigations involved a literature survey and the development of a data bank on pertinent articles and patents, experimental screening tests on selected promising catalysts, and preliminary design and cost analysis of candidate processes adapted to new and/or existing power plants. The stepwise selection and prioritization of catalysts indicated that at least two types of catalytic NOx control processes should be adaptable to power generating plants: selective reduction of NOx with ammonia on non-noble metal catalysts; and simultaneous nonselective reduction of NOx and sulfur oxides and coal-derived reductants on non-noble metal catalysts.
