摘要:
A process and composition are provided for removing contaminants, such as sulfur dioxide and hydrogen sulfide, out of exhaust gases by contacting the contaminated exhaust gas with a catalyst/sorber composition comprising noble metal components and a sorber component, such as oxides of Ti, Zr, Hf, Ce, Al, Si and mixtures thereof, so as to remove the contaminants out of the exhaust gas. The contaminant-loaded catalyst/sorber composition is regenerated via contact with a mixture of an inert gas, such as nitrogen, and a reducing gas, such as hydrocarbons. The catalyst/sorber composition may also contain a modifier, such as Cu, Ag or Bi, which tends to promote the release of the sulfur contaminant off the contaminant-loaded catalyst/sorber composition as sulfur dioxide, rather than the hydrogen sulfide. The catalyst/sorber composition also promotes the oxidation of carbon monoxide in the exhaust gas.
摘要:
The process contacts a gaseous stream (1) containing gaseous sulfur compounds and NOx with a catalyst system of either: an oxidation catalyst disposed on a high surface area support or an absorber material; or of discrete beds of a catalyst/sorber (A) comprising a noble metal catalyst component, a metal oxide sorber component, and a modifier; and an oxidation catalyst (B) disposed on a high suface area support or an absorber material. The sulfur and NOx compounds are removed from the exhaust (1) into catalyst system and retained therein to remove and retain the sulfur and NOx compounds. The reducing and regenerating gas (8) removes and retains said sulfur compounds and NOx is restored. In the two bed system, the catalyst system is regenerated with a regenerating gas (8) flowing in a direction reversed from direction of the exhaust gas (1).
