Poisoning and regeneration of commercial V2O5-WO3/TiO2 selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst in coal-fired power plants

The NOx emitted from coal combustion can cause great harm to the environment and human health. The se-lective catalytic reduction (SCR) deNOx technology is a mature commercial deNOx technology, of which the SCR catalyst is the core. In China, the SCR deNOx technology has covered almost every coal-fired power plant since the 13th Five-Year Plan. Due to the complex and harsh working environment at the operating site, these catalysts will face the deactivation and replacement. This paper presents a comprehensive and systematic review of commercial V2O5-WO3/TiO2 SCR catalyst from three aspects, including composition and deNOx characteristics, poisoning, and regeneration, based on studies published in the recent years. It has an important guiding sig-nificance for the poisoning study and regeneration technology development of commercial SCR catalysts.
