Abstract

Provided is a preparation method of a denitration catalyst for treating nitrogen oxides contained in exhaust gas discharged from gas turbines for generating plants, coil fired boilers, etc., in which the catalytic activity can be improved, and furthermore, an increase of the cost of producing the catalyst is not involved. The preparation method of a denitration catalyst used when reacting nitrogen oxides with reducing agent ammonia to decompose the nitrogen oxides into nitrogen and water, and including titanium oxide and vanadium as catalytic active ingredients thereof, is characterized in that the vanadium precursor is ammonium metavanadate powder, the ammonium metavanadate powder containing particles having a particle diameter of 10 μm or less in a cumulative ratio of 20% or more. The ammonium metavanadate powder is preferably a reclaimed product including vanadium recovered from petroleum-based combustion ash such as heavy oil ash.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A method for preparing a denitration catalyst which includes titanium oxide, vanadium and tungsten as catalytic active ingredients thereof comprising:
adding a titanium oxide powder to a mixture liquid of a silica sol and water to prepare a slurry;
adding an ammonium metavanadate powder to this slurry;
adding an aqueous solution of ammonium metatungstate to the slurry; and
immersing a honeycomb structure in the slurry;

wherein the ammonium metavanadate powder contains
particles having a particle diameter of 10 μm or less in a cumulative content of 20% to 30%,
particles having a particle diameter of more than 10 μm and 27 μm or less in a cumulative content of 20 to 30%,
particles having a particle diameter of more than 27 μm and 60 μm or less in a cumulative content of 25 to 35%, and
particles having a particle diameter of more than 60 μm and 250 μm or less in a cumulative content of 15 to 25%,
based on a total number of the ammonium metavanadate powder particles.

2. The method for preparing a denitration catalyst according to claim 1 , characterized in that the ammonium metavanadate powder is a reclaimed product including vanadium recovered from petroleum-based combustion ash, such as heavy oil ash.

3. A method for preparing a denitration catalyst which includes titanium oxide, vanadium and tungsten as catalytic active ingredients thereof comprising:
adding titanium oxide powder to a mixture liquid of a silica sol and water to prepare a slurry;
immersing a honeycomb structure in the slurry;
immersing the honeycomb structure having the titanium oxide powder supported thereon in an aqueous solution of an ammonium metavanadate powder, and
immersing the honeycomb structure having the titanium oxide powder and the ammonium metavanadate supported thereon in an aqueous solution of ammonium metatungstate;

wherein the ammonium metavanadate powder contains
particles having a particle diameter of 10 μm or less in a cumulative content of 20% to 30%,
particles having a particle diameter of more than 10 μm and 27 μm or less in a cumulative content of 20 to 30%,
particles having a particle diameter of more than 27 μm and 60 μm or less in a cumulative content of 25 to 35%, and
particles having a particle diameter of more than 60 μm and 250 μm or less in a cumulative content of 15 to 25%,
based on a total number of the ammonium metavanadate powder particles.

4. The method for preparing a denitration catalyst according to claim 3 , characterized in that the ammonium metavanadate powder is a reclaimed product including vanadium recovered from petroleum-based combustion ash, such as heavy oil ash.
