Abstract
Typically, to meet emission regulations, the selective catalytic reduction of NOX with NH3 (NH3-SCR) technology cause NH3 emissions owing to high NH3/NOX ratios to meet emission regulations. In this study, V-Cu/BN-Ti was used to remove residual NOX and NH3. Catalysts were evaluated for selective catalytic oxidation of NH3 (NH3-SCO) in the NH3-SCR reaction at 200–300 °C. The addition of vanadium and copper increased the number of Brønsted and Lewis acid sites available for the reaction by increasing the ratio of V5+ and forming Cu+ species, respectively. Furthermore, h-BN was dispersed in the catalyst to improve the content of vanadium and copper species on the surface. NH3 and NOX conversion were 98% and 91% at 260 °C, respectively. Consequently, slipped NH3 (NH3-Slip) emitted only 2% of the injected ammonia. Under SO2 conditions, based on the NH3 oxidation reaction, catalytic deactivation was improved by addition of h-BN. This study suggests that h-BN is a potential catalyst that can help remove residual NOX and meet NH3 emission regulations when placed at the bottom of the SCR catalyst layer in coal-fired power plants.
