Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Provided is a practical method for dry-separating arsenic compounds from a used NOx removal catalyst contaminated with arsenic. The method for removing arsenic compounds comprises heat-treating a NOx removal catalyst contaminated with arsenic compounds at a predetermined temperature in a reducing atmosphere while exposing the catalyst to hydrocarbon compounds (except CH 4 ) or oxygen-containing carbon compound.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

The invention claimed is: 1. An apparatus for removing an arsenic compound, comprising a treatment unit which conducts heat-treatment of a NOx removal catalyst contaminated with the arsenic compound at a predetermined temperature in a reducing atmosphere while exposing the catalyst to hydrocarbon compounds except CH 4 or oxygen-containing carbon compounds. 2. The apparatus for removing an arsenic compound according to claim 1 , wherein the hydrocarbon compounds and the oxygen-containing carbon compounds are gaseous at the predetermined temperature. 3. The apparatus for removing an arsenic compound according to claim 1 , wherein the predetermined temperature is in a range of greater than 300° C. to 600° C. 4. The apparatus for removing an arsenic compound according to claim 1 , wherein the treatment unit exposes the NOx removal catalyst contaminated with the arsenic compound in a product form as is or after made into a particle form by grinding treatment to the hydrocarbon compounds or the oxygen-containing carbon compounds. 5. An apparatus for regenerating the NOx removal catalyst by removing the arsenic compound comprising the apparatus according to claim 1 . 6. The apparatus for regenerating a NOx removal catalyst according to claim 5 comprising a heat treatment unit which conducts heat-treatment of the NOx removal catalyst from which the arsenic compound has been removed at 250° C. or more in an oxygen atmosphere.
