Development of De-NOx selective catalytic reduction catalyst using V2O5 –TiO2 supported on a ceramic filter candle

ABSTRACTThis study reports the development of a V2O5-TiO2-based selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst supported on alumina-silicate water filter candles for NOx abatement. The synthesised catalysts have been characterised by thermogravimetry/differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and measurement of NOx removal performance. The catalyst synthesised under optimal conditions shows NOx reduction efficiency of >97%. SCR performance has been augmented using O2 as a carrier gas. This simple, reproducible procedure can have wide applications in NOx abatement.
