Selective Catalytic Reduction: From Basic Science to deNOx Applications

Abstract

The combustion of coal, petroleum and biofuel for energy generation has resulted in unprecedented benefits to the prosperity of our modern society and will continue to do so in the future. However, rapid global climate changes, especially frequent extreme weather conditions that we have witnessed in the past two decades, remind us how fragile our planet is, and how important sustainable development is for future generations. The advancement of sciences and technologies for environmental protection, such as water purification, soil detoxification [...]

Catalytic Performance and Sulfur Dioxide Resistance of One-Pot Synthesized Fe-MCM-22 in Selective Catalytic Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides with Ammonia (NH3-SCR)—The Effect of Iron Content

“…This catalytic process is based on the reaction between nitrogen oxide and ammonia in the presence of oxygen and it yields molecular nitrogen and water vapor. The technology was developed in the 1970s in Japan and has become widespread around the world [5,6]. In recent years, the most common commercial catalytic system of NH 3 -SCR is V 2 O 5 -TiO 2 promoted with MoO 3 or WO 3 [7,8].…”

Evaluation of the Thermal Behavior, Synergistic Catalysis, and Pollutant Emissions during the Co-Combustion of Sewage Sludge and Coal Gasification Fine Slag Residual Carbon

“…Cai et al [11] also demonstrated that the co-combustions of textile dyeing sludge and waste tea reduced SO 2 emission through thermogravimetric coupled with mass spectrometry (TG-MS) analysis. It is essential to quantify the release of gaseous pollutants in the co-combustion process of sewage sludge and gasification fine slag residual carbon, which can provide important inspiration for the control of pollutants in industrial burner in the future [25][26][27].…”
