Abstract

Abstract A process for denitrating flue gas which comprises disposing a denitration catalyst bed using NH3 as a reducing agent in a region where the flue gas temperature ranges from 200 to 600 DEG C; injecting NH3 in an amount more than equimolar with nitrogen oxides in the flue gas at a point of the system upstream of the denitration catalyst bed and thereby removing NOx; and removing excess NH3 by adsorption at an NH3 adsorber which contains an NH3 adsorbent consisting of a metal oxide and having a specific surface area of at least 30 m<2>/g in a region downstream of the denitration catalyst bed where the flue gas temperature is 200 DEG C or below.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 2
Claim 1
Independent Claim 117 words
A process for denitrating flue gas characterized by the steps of installing a dry denitrator using NH₃ as a reducing agent in a region where the flue gas temperature ranges from 200 to 600°C; injecting NH₃ in an amount more than equimolar with nitrogen oxides present in the flue gas at a point upstream from the dry denitrator so as to remove NOx; and removing excess NH₃ by adsorption at an NH₃ adsorber which contains an NH₃ adsorbent consisting of a metal oxide and having a specific surface area of at least 30 m²/g in a region which is downstream from the dry denitrator and where the flue gas temperature is 200°C or below, whereby excess NH₃.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 43 words
The process as claimed in claim 1, wherein the NH₃ adsorbent consisting of a metal oxide and having a specific surface area of at least 30 m²/g comprises a metal oxide selected from the group consisting of zeolites, alumina, titania, silica, and zirconia.
