Abstract
Abstract The present invention relates to a plate-shaped catalyst unit for NOx reduction of exhaust gas, wherein molten metal is sprayed upon surfaces of a metal plate allowing the molten metal to accumulate thereon to form rough surfaces, and the rough surfaces thus obtained are deposited with a catalytic substance for NOx reduction of exhaust gas. The catalyst units thus obtained are each disposed in parallel with the gas flow, and generally arranged across the gas flow and at intervals in the catalytic reactor which is placed in an exhaust gas duct and used as an apparatus for nitrogen oxides (NOx) reduction of exhaust gas.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim
100 words
A catalytic apparatus for NOx reduction of exhaust gas comprising a plurality of plate-shaped catalyst units each disposed in parallel with the gas flow and generally arranged across the gas flow, each of said catalyst units being produced by a method comprising the steps of spraying molten metal upon the surfaces of a metal plate to allow the molten metal to accumulate thereon to form rough surfaces and depositing a catalyst containing titanium and at least another catalytic material for NO x reduction of exhaust gas onto said rough surfaces whereby the catalyst is firmly secured on said rough surfaces.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
100 words
A catalytic apparatus for NOx reduction of exhaust gas comprising a plurality of plate-shaped catalyst units each disposed in parallel with the gas flow and generally arranged across the gas flow, each of said catalyst units being produced by a method comprising the steps of spraying molten metal upon the surfaces of a metal plate to allow the molten metal to accumulate thereon to form rough surfaces and depositing a catalyst containing titanium and at least another catalytic material for NO x reduction of exhaust gas onto said rough surfaces whereby the catalyst is firmly secured on said rough surfaces.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
43 words
A catalytic apparatus for NOx reduction of exhaust gas according to claim 1 wherein said plurality of catalyst units are arranged in assemblies and said assemblies are further arranged at a plurality of stages and at intervals in parallel with the gas flow.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
110 words
A catalytic apparatus for NOx reduction of exhaust gas according to claim 2 wherein in an assembly of catalyst units at the former stage in the gas flow, said catalyst units are arranged in such a manner that intervals between adjacent catalyst units arranged across the gas flow decrease upwardly from the bottom; in an assembly of catalyst units at the latter stage, said catalyst units are arranged in such a manner that intervals between adjacent catalyst units across the gas flow increase upwardly from the bottom; and such arrangements of the former and latter assemblies of the catalyst units are alternately provided in the direction of the gas flow.
