Abstract
Abstract Catalytic material for reducing nitrous oxides in flue gases in the presence of ammonia in which titanium oxide is used as the starting material and the latter is milled together with vanadium oxide and one or more oxides of the elements tungsten, molybdenum, phosphorus, chromium, copper, iron, uranium and is thereafter subjected to at least one thermal treatment. Tungsten and molybdenum are substituted here entirely or partially by phosphorus in the form of its oxides or phosphates.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim
153 words
Method for reducing nitrous oxides in flue gases, which comprises contacting a flue gas containing nitrous oxides, in the presence of ammonia, in a temperature range of 150° to 550° C., with a catalytic material, formed by subjecting, titanium oxide milled with vanadium oxide and one or more oxides of the elements selected from the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, phosphorus, chromium, copper, iron and uranium to at least one termal treatment, wherein the oxides of the elements tungsten and molybdenum are substituted partially or entirely by phosphorus in the form of its oxides or phosphates, and the sum of the elements used in the form of oxides, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, chromium, copper, iron and uranium are present in amounts of less than 1 atom percent referred to titanium and phosphorus used in the form of its oxides or phosphates, is present in amounts of 1 to 30 atom percent, referred to titanium.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
153 words
Method for reducing nitrous oxides in flue gases, which comprises contacting a flue gas containing nitrous oxides, in the presence of ammonia, in a temperature range of 150° to 550° C., with a catalytic material, formed by subjecting, titanium oxide milled with vanadium oxide and one or more oxides of the elements selected from the group consisting of tungsten, molybdenum, phosphorus, chromium, copper, iron and uranium to at least one termal treatment, wherein the oxides of the elements tungsten and molybdenum are substituted partially or entirely by phosphorus in the form of its oxides or phosphates, and the sum of the elements used in the form of oxides, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, chromium, copper, iron and uranium are present in amounts of less than 1 atom percent referred to titanium and phosphorus used in the form of its oxides or phosphates, is present in amounts of 1 to 30 atom percent, referred to titanium.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
96 words
Method according to claim 1, wherein the oxides of the elements tungsten and molybdenum are substituted partially also by sulfur in the form of sulfites or sulfates and the sum of the elements used in the form of oxides, tungsten, molybdenum, vanadium, chromium, copper, iron and uranium are present in amounts of less than 1 atom percent referred to titanium, wherein said phosphorus in the form of its oxides or phosphates and said sulfur used in the form of sulfates or sulfites together are present in amount of 1 to 30 atom percent, referred to titanium.
