                       RESEARCH REPORTING SERIES


Research reports of the Office of Research a-nd  Development, U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency, have been grouped  into seven series.
These seven broad categories were established to  facilitate further
development and application of environmental technology.  Elimination
of traditional grouping was consciously planned to  foster technology
transfer and a maximum interface in related fields.  The seven series
are:

     1.  Environmental Health Effects Research
     2.  Environmental Protection Technology
     3.  Ecological Research
     4.  Environmental Monitoring
     5.  Socioeconomic Environmental Studies
     6.  Scientific and Technical Assessment Reports (STAR)
     7.  Interagency Energy-Environment Research  and Development

This report has been assigned to the INTERAGENCY  ENERGY-ENVIRONMENT
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT series.  Reports in this series result from
the effort funded under the 17-agency Federal Energy/Environment
Research and Development Program.  These studies  relate to EPA's
mission to protect the public health and welfare  from adverse effects
of pollutants associated with energy systems.   The  goal of the Program
is to assure the rapid development of domestic  energy supplies in an
environmentally—compatible manner by providing the necessary
environmental data and control technology. Investigations include
analyses of the transport of energy-related pollutants and their health
and ecological effects; assessments of, and development of, control
technologies for energy systems; and integrated assessments of a wide
range  of energy-related environmental issues.

                                  SUMMARY

      Chemical specifications of laboratory-prepared vanadium oxide-alumina and
iron oxide-chromium oxide-alumina catalysts have been optimized for maximum ac-
tivity for reduction of NO with NH3 in simulated flue gas.  Fifteen percent "V^Og load-
ing and 10$ Fe-Cr oxides with an Fe/Cr ratio of 9/1 were the optimum formulations.

      A commercial 10$ V^Og-AloO- catalyst was found to be almost as active as the
15^5 laboratory-prepared catalyst; no commercial Fe or Fe-Cr catalysts were found
comparable to the prepared 9/1 Fe-Cr catalyst.

      Parametric tests showed that both catalysts were selective in the presence of O0
with strong enhancement in NO  conversion rates due to the presence of O9 under typi-
cal operating conditions. Neither CO  nor IO affect the NO  reduction in the concen-
tration ranges applicable to power plant exhaust.  Both catalysts were most active
between 400 and 425°C and required excess NHg  (NHL/NO ^ 0.67) for maximum activ-
ity.

      Rate expressions describing the intrinsic reduction kinetics of NO with NH_ in
simulated flue gas over the V^O.- and Fe-Cr catalysts are:

     Long-term durability tests in the presence of SO for periods of 648 and 1052
hours for V^O  and Fe-Cr catalysts, respectively, have indicated no degradation in
catalyst performance.  In fact, improvement in activity and broadening of the conver-
sion-temperature maxima were observed.

      Typical conversion levels for V_O and Fe-Cr catalysts operating at 400°C in
simulated flue gas containing 1000 ppm  NO, 1000 ppm NH_ and SO  were about 90 and
80$, respectively, at 20,000 hr"1 space velocity.
                                    iii

-------
    With the Fe-Cr catalyst a sharp increase in the activity for reduction of low
concentrations of NOX (~ 500 ppm) was observed during the SO durability tests.
With 500 ppm NO and stoichiometric NHg levels,  conversions close to 90$at 20,000
hr~   space velocity were typical with SOX  levels of about 350 ppm. With excess NH3,
NOX conversions exceeding 90$ were observed.

    Two new catalysts were prepared in an attempt to reduce the cost of the VgOg cat-
alyst by dilution with other metal oxides. A 15$Fe-V (1/1) oxade-Al2O  catalyst was
prepared and preliminary tests indicate this catalyst to be more active than the
V2O , the 10$ Fe-Cr (9/1) and the 10$Fe2Og catalysts.  A second new catalyst, 10$
Fe-Cr- V (18/1/1) oxide-AUO ,  was prepared during the last stages of this project and
tests showed it to be the most active catalyst developed in the program.  A test of
about 180 hours duration of the latter catalyst in simulated flue gas  containing SO  at
400°C and 10, 000 hr""1 showed that 99$ removal of NO  was achieved and activity clid
not deteriorate with exposure time.  These preliminary results of the  two  catalysts
suggest that synergistfc catalytic activity has been achieved with mixtures  of VgO  and
other metal oxides.  Parametric and long term durability tests of these two new cat-
alysts  are recommended.
       Although there was no deterioration of either the V2Og or the Fe-Cr catalyst  in
 simulated flue gas containing up to about 200 ppm SO3, which was homogeneously
 formed from the injected SO2, recent reports suggest that SO3 may be the primary
 cause of the rapid deterioration of certain catalysts.  The SO  levels or the ratio
 of SO3 to SO2 may have been too low to demonstrate this effect on the UCLA catalysts.
 Recent reports suggest interaction of SO» with (a) the active metal oxide and/or with
 (b) the AUO  carrier, respectively.  Investigation of these possible interactions is of
 immediate importance.  In particular, the influence of the SO3/SO2 ratio  at various
 levels of total sulfur oxides should be studied.  An SO3 reaction with A12O3 may re-
 quire  the development of SOQ-resistant carriers.

                             1. INTRODUCTION

    There has been considerable work on the physiological effects of the oxides of
nitrogen,  their role in the formation of smog and their production in fossil fuel-
burning power generation sources.  For many years research has been directed
toward either preventing NO  formation or after formation,  its abatement.
                          Ji

    Combustion modification methods have little effect on preventing the formation
of NOX from fuels containing nitrogenous compounds (1-1). The steadily increasing
use of fuels containing such compounds (particularly coal) emphasizes  the need for
the development of post-combustion abatement methods.

    A recent investigation performed by UCLA  for TRW Systems Group under En-
vironmental Protection Agency Contract No.  68-02-0648 (1-2), indicated that cat-
alysis provides viable methods for controlling NOX emissions. The most promising
catalytic method is the selective reduction of NOX in the  presence of oxygen using
ammonia as reductant.  In brief, only ammonia has been identified  as capable of
reducing NO  selectively in the presence of O«;  several catalysts have been develop-
ed that promote such selective reduction. During the TRW/UCLA project two catal-
ysts were shown to be particularly promising.   These  catalysts were vanadium
oxide  (vanadia) - alumina and iron oxide - chromium oxide - alumina.  In prelimin-
ary performance studies both catalysts were shown to  be effective at flow rates and
temperatures consistent with stationary power plant adaptability. Both were shown
to be  resistant to sulfur dioxide under short-term exposure.

    In June 1975, UCLA initiated the present project 'EPA Grant R 803653-01-0) to
develop further these promising catalysts.  The objectives of the project were to
optimize the compositions of the vanadia and iron-chromium catalysts for selective
reduction of NO  with NHg, develop rate expressions for design use and perform long-
term durability studies of the optimum catalyst  compositions in flue gas containing
sulfur oxides.

    Subsequent sections of this report summarize the  previous effort and the experi-
mental approaches and results of foe current project.  Immediately following is a
description of the effort as delineated into separate study tasks.

-------
                                 CONCLUSIONS

      The important conclusions based on the results of the current study are as
follows:

      1.  Optimum loading of "V^Og-ALOg catalysts, prepared by impregnation of
         A12O3 with aqueous ammonium vanadate-oxalic acid for reduction of NO
         with NH3, is 13$  .

      2.  Optimum loading of Fe-Cr-AUOg catalysts, prepared by impregnation of
         aqueous nitrate mixtures on the carrier, is 10$.  Optimum Fe/Cr ratio is
         9/1.

      3.  Conversion of NO on both catalysts is not affected by the presence of H2O,
         CO2 or SOx-

      4.  The presence of Oo in the reactant gas mixture causes pronounced accelera-
         tion of the rate of NO  reduction reaction on both catalysts.

      5.  Typical conversion of  NO in simulated flue gas containing 1000 ppm  NO and
         1000 ppm NH3 and SOX was about 90# and 80<£ for VgOg and Fe-Cr catalysts,
         respectively, at 400°C and 20,000 hr~l space velocity.  Lower space  velo-
         cities enable attainment  of higher NO conversion levels.

      6.  The rate of reduction of NO with NH3 on 15#V2O5-A12O3 catalyst in simula-
         ted flue gas  up to 400°C  can be described by the intrinsic rate expression,

           f   o nK   m3   -9650/RT  0.30 0.22   0.05  ,   ,   .__,      .  .  .

      7.  The intrinsic rate expression for reduction of NO with NHg on 10# Fe-Cr
         (9/l)-Al2Og  in simulated flue gas is:

         rate. 3.25 x 103 a'10*860 p^V'10 p^15   (moles NO/gm cat.-hr)
     8. The V2O  and Fe-Cr catalysts developed in this project suffered no degrada-
        tion over extended periods of operation in simu&ted flue gas containing SOX.
        In fact, some improvement in activity, particularly at low concentrations of

-------
    NO, was observed after extended SOX exposure.

 9. Both catalysts, which have been studied extensively in this project,  require
    excess NH3 for optimum operation.  Residual NH3 exists in the NOX con-
    verter effluent.  This residual NH3 could present a secondary pollutant
    problem.  No other secondary pollutants were found in the converter exhaust
    gases.

10. Although 15$ V2O5 loading was optimum for VgO -ALjCL catalysts,  more
    active catalysts can be prepared by substituting another active metal oxide
    for part of the vanadia.   For instance, a 15$ Fe-V (1/1) oxide on ALO  was
    more active than either 15$ VgO  or 10$ Fe2O3.  Also,  a 10$ Fe-Cr-v
    (18/1/1) oxide-AUO  was more active than either 15$ V2O5 or 10<
-------
                              RECOMMENDATIONS

     The following recommendations are based on the results and conclusions of the
current project:
      1.  The demonstrated activity and durability of 15#V2O5-Al2Og and 10#Fe-Cr
         oxides (9/1) - Al-O  at the bench scale c
         at larger (either semi-pilot or pilot) sea
         of combustion of sulfur-containing fuels.
oxides (9/1) - A1?O  at the bench scale of operation should be corroborated
at larger (either semi-pilot or pilot) scale of operation using actual products
      2.  Recommended operating temperature for 15% V2O  is 400°C and for 10$
         Fe-Cr (9/1) is 425°C.  A space velocity of 10,000 hr~l is recommended for
         initial performance evaluation at the larger scale.

      3.  Ammonia level should be maintained at a molar NH3/NO ratio of 1 or higher
         for best NO., removal.
                    2i

      4.  Further investigation should be made of the variation in activity of V2Og as a
         function of concentration of other active metal  oxides and the imparted, ap-
         parent synergism.  Parametric studies of these improved catalysts,  parti-
         cularly in the presence of varying 802/803 mixtures is recommended.

      5.  Further studies of catalyst deterioration in the presence of larger concentra-
         tions of SOg than present in the current durability studies is of immediate
         importance.  The SOg-ALjOg interaction should be examined carefully and
         the products or phase changes  identified.  Methods to improve the resistance
         of A12O  (additives, pretreatment, etc.) should be sought. Alternative car-
         riers (e.g., zirconia) should be investigated to determine SO,, resistance.

     6.  Studies should be made of methods to abate, recover and recycle,  or  utilize
         in other processes,  the NHg  remaining after NOX abatement.  The most at-
         tractive use of the NHg may be for SO  abatement processes involving homo-
         geneous reaction to  form ammonium salts  of sulfur oxides.

    The experimental program performed in fulfillment of the objectives of Grant
No. R 803653-01-0 "Parametric Studies of Catalysts for NOX Control from Station-
ary Power Plants" was organized into the following tasks.

Taskl.  Optimization of composition and development of chemical specifications for
         vanadia and iron-chromium catalysts^

    Chemical composition and methods of preparation of vanadia and iron-chromium
catalysts were correlated with catalytic activity for the selective reduction of NO with
NH~ in the presence of SOX in simulated stack gas. Optimal concentrations of "V^Oc
on alumina and/or other carrier materials were determined.  With the iron-chromi-
um catalysts, the optimum  ratio of Fe to  Cr as well as the most active catalyst-
carrier concentration ratio were determined. Commercial vanadia-based catalysts,
currently used for oxidation of SO2 to SO3 , in nitric acid production and in catalytic
stack gas desulfurization processes, were investigated for activity for NO reduction
with
Task 2.  Parametric investigation of vanadia and iron-chromiun^catalysts in the
         presence of SOg.

    Process variables such as temperature and residence time were varied over
broad ranges with the optimized vanadia and iron-chromium catalyst formulations.
The effect of SO2 concentration on the temperature-activity characteristics was de-
termined.  Tests of long duration were made to determine if slow, cumulative poi-
soning occurs.  Working rate expressions were developed for scale-up use.  Analy-
ses of the effluent gas stream determined not only the concentrations of the major
components of interest (e.g., NO, NO,, NH ,  SO-,  SOg) but also those of other com
ponents which may represent deleterious secondary effects (e.g. ,  sulfates, H2S,
carbonyls).

    Task 3.  Investigation of new and promising catalysts.
                                        i
    Promising catalysts were tested when the literature or informal disclosures
showed evidence of high activity.  Following preliminary assessment of these catal-
ysts based on available data, recommendations for further investigation were made
to the EPA and pursued, if merited,  upon the directive of the project officer.

-------
             3.  BACKGROUND AND DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM

     Several approaches considered for abatement of NO  in the exhaust of fossil fuel-
 burning power plants involve catalysis. These approaches may be summarized as:

     1. Catalytic Decomposition of NO

         Nitric oxide is formed in combustion processes by direct combination of
     nitrogen and oxygen at high temperature. The equilibrium concentration of NO
     is determined by the flame temperature which depends on the air to fuel ratio.
     Thermodynamically, nitric oxide should revert to nitrogen and oxygen as the
     combustion gases cool. However, the kinetics of the homogeneous  NO decompo-
     sition reaction become infinitesimally slow as the gases are cooled and the NO
     concentration in the flue gas is essentially that in the  combustion zone.  Cat-
     alysts should exist that will accelerate the approach to equilibrium (lower com-
     positions of  NO) as the gases are cooled,  at least until temperatures become so
     low that kinetic restraints exist for the heterogeneous process.  Some success
     was achieved in Identification of such a catalyst for the direct decomposition of
     NO in the previous program.   The catalyst was platinum-alumina which, under
     typical flue gas conditions, resulted in 60$ decomposition of NO.  The moderate
     conversion attained and the high cost of platinum  indicate that continued develop-
     ment of this  process  is only marginally attractive at the present time.

     2. Nonselective Reduction of NO

        It has been known for many years (e.g. tail-gas treatment operations in the
     nitric acid industry) that the reduction of NO can be catalytically accomplished
     by addition of sufficient reducing agent to reduce both  NO and oxygen. Typical
     reducing agents (R2»  CH4» co» gasoline,  etc.) will effectively reduce NO in the
     absence of oxygen or, in the presence of oxygen if there is an excess of reducing
     agent to reduce both the 03 and the NO.  For conditions of substantial excess O2,
     (typically, under optimum fuel-utilization conditions in a power plant), the heat
     release in the preliminary O2-depletion reaction is such that  interceding and
     multistage reactors are necessary.

        Nonselective reduction of NO presents two alternative requirements.  Either
    the combustion process must be conducted under uneconomical O-deficient
* Reference will be made in this report to the joint TRW/UCLA effort recently con-
cluded ( 1 -2Jf  as the previous program.

-------
conditions (which also leads to lower formation of NO) or the reducing agent must
be provided from external sources.  For this latter alternative, sufficient reduc-
tant must be added to consume also the CL as described above.

There are many catalysts which will simultaneously reduce both NO and O2, but
none has been identified that will promote the selective reduction of NO using
standard fuels, over practical operating ranges, in the presence of excess Og.
lii summary,  non-selective reduction of NO is technically feasible for power plant
NO abatement but the economic shortcomings of the alternative of fuel-rich com-
bustion conditions or complicated reactor/intercooling systems with large excess
reductant requirements make such systems relatively unattractive.

3.  Catalytic Oxidation of NO

    Although thermodynamic  analysis indicate that NO should readily decompose
to N« and Og at lower temperatures,  the reaction is kinetically slow.  The for-
mation of NO« from NO and O2 is also favored as the  combustion gases cool.
However, the low residence times inherent in power plant exhaust systems limit
the degree of oxidation.

    If the oxidation process can be accelerated by catalysis,  removal of the more
active NO2  in secondary scrubbing processes is feasible.  However, no hetero-
geneous catalyst has been identified as yet that will promote the oxidation process
to a significant extent under typical stack-gas conditions.

4.  Selective Reduction of NO

    Only one reducing agent,  NH«, has been found that will react selectively with
NO in the presence of large amounts of O2 over wide  range of reductant/NO mix-
ture ratios. During the previous project it was found that platinum, vanadia and
iron oxide-chromium oxide mixtures on alumina support material were effective
catalysts for the selective reduction of NO with NHq.  The  latter two catalysts
were disclosed in the patent literature by Nonnenmacher and  Kartte  (3-1)
and by Schmidt and Schulze (3-2),respectively.

    Samples of each of the three catalysts, Pt-ALjOg (from Engelhard), V2O5-
A^Og (from Harshaw) or Fe-Cr oxide-AUO- (laboratory prepared) were subjec-
ted to a brief parametric investigation to study the effects of NH3/NO ratio,NO,O2
and SO2 concentrations, space velocity (s.v.) and temperature on the conversion
of NO. It was found that the non-noble metal catalysts promoted the selective
reduction of NO with a maximum in conversion of NO  at 400°C for 20,000 hr"1
space velocity (STP). Although the platinum catalyst  showed a conversion maxi-
mum at only 250°C, a major product of the reaction was N2O.  On the other hand,
the non-noble metal catalysts  did not promote extensive production of ^O.  As
space velocity increased, conversion of NO on both VnO_ and Fe-Cr catalysts

-------
    decreased substantially as depicted in Figures 1 and 2.  Space velocity effects
    were much smaller with the Pt catalyst, as shown in Figure 3, in accord with
    results of Andersen et al (3-3).

         Addition of up to 2000 ppm SO2 into a test gas with typical flue gas (composi-
    tion: 14$ CO2, 5% HoO, 3% O2> 1000 ppm NO)^ resulted in negligible change in the
    percent conversion of NO with 1100 ppm NH  on the VgOg and Fe-Cr catalysts
    operating at 400°C.  When SO0 was added to the test gas with Pt catalyst at 250°C,
                                ^J
    however, a decrease in NO conversion occurred.

    The results of the brief parametric tests in the TRW/UCLA project established
 selective reduction of NO with NH« as a promising means of abatement of NO and a
 preliminary economic analysis showed the process to be viable. Because of the
 lower operating temperature, platinum catalyst was attractive for use with low-sulfur
 fuels. The drawback of higher operating temperature with the non-noble metal catal-
 ysts was offset by their sulfur resistance.

    The V2O5 and Fe-Cr catalysts, in view of their sulfur resistance and their ten-
 dency to promote reduction of NO to N2  rather than N£O as a final product, were
 of sufficient promise to merit additional investigation. A detailed parametric study
 to investigate more fully the effects of O2, H2O and CO  concentrations and to estab-
 lish rate expressions for design of larger-scale reaction equipment was warranted.
 In addition, it was important to determine if the sulfur resistance shown over short-
 term  exposure was maintained during extended periods of operation. These results
 of the TRW /UCLA project suggested further investigation of the non- noble metal
 catalysts which in the present project was designed to assess more fully the utility of
 VjjOs and Fe-Cr catalysts for use in the selective reduction of NO.  As indicated in
the Introduction, the primary objectives of the present program were to: optimize
 the compositions of the vanadia and iron-chromium catalysts for selective reduction
 of NO with NH3> develop rate expressions for design use and perform long-term
 durability studies of optimum catalyst compositions in flue gas containing sulfur
oxides.

    A secondary objective of the project was to provide an update of current develop-
ments in NO catalysts in the published  literature.

     The equipment and procedures used in the catalyst optimization studies and the
parametric and durability tests are described in this section.  A general description
of the computer programs used for data reduction and correlation is also presented.

4.1.   CATALYST PREPARATION

     Vanadia and iron-chromium oxide catalysts were prepared by impregnation tech-
niques using pre-formed alumina pellets as support material.  Support materials
tested in this project were (a) Filtrol Grade 86 cylinders, nominally 1/8 in. dia. x
3/16 in. length; (b) Alcoa H -151 -8 spheres, 1/8 in. dia.; (c) Alcoa F-l -1/4-8 gran-
ules, irregularly shaped, up to about 1/4 in. ; and (d) American Cyanamid Aeroban
spheres (AO-SiCL mixture), 3/16 - in dia.
     The vanadia catalysts were prepared by impregnating dry carrier pellets with an
 aqueous solution of ammonium metavanadate and oxalic acid (2:1 molar ratio of
 NH^VO- to ~3.2^2^± '  ^T^O).  Because of solubility limitations a large amount of
 water was necessary for preparing catalysts with 10$or more V2O  (final, dried form)
 preventing single-step solution absorption. The excess liquor was decanted from the
 pellets  which were then partially  dried.  The remaining solution was absorbed by the
 semi-dried pellets.  The pellets were fully dried at 160° C and then calcined in flowing
 air at 500°C to decompose the vanadate to V2O and burn off the organic acid.  No
 other activation procedure was used before testing the catalysts.

     Iron-chromium catalysts were prepared by impregnating alumina pellets with
 aqueous solutions of Fe(NO  )  * 9 HgO and CrO .  Complete absorption of the liquor
 was accomplished in a single step with the iron-chromium series of catalysts. The
 moist pellets were dried and calcined under conditions  similar to those used with V^Cv
 catalyst. Complete details of the preparation of V9Cv and Fe-Cr catalyst showing
highest activity are given in Section 5 (Results).

     Table 1 summarizes the catalysts prepared and tested in this project. Also in-
cluded in the table are several commercial catalysts tested for  comparison purposes.
La the vanadium  series the percent of active material (V2O_) and type of carrier were
of interest.  With the Fe-Cr series the percent of active loading, as well as the Fe/Cr
weight ratio was studied.

 4.2. BENCH-SCALE TEST APPARATUS

     Optimization, parametric and durability studies were performed in a tubular, up-
 flow reactor operating under isothermal conditions.  Figure 4 shows, in schematic
 form, the reactor and associated equipment.

     The reactor, as well as a tubular preheater, was maintained at preselected tem-
 peratures in an air-flow, fluidized sand bath heater using powdered alundum as the
 fluidized medium.  A back pressure valve on the reactor outlet was adjusted to main-
 tain a constant pressure in the system at all temperatures and to compensate  for
 changes in pressure drop across the reactor bed when switching from inlet to outlet
 sampling modes.

     Gaseous nitrogen, carbon dioxide and nitric oxide were mixed in a glass manifold
 after passing through needle-valves and rotameters. Nitric oxide flow was  measured
 more accurately with a soap-bubble flowmeter.

     Oxygen was added to the gas stream upstream of the vaporizer- mixer by appro-
 priate injection of air.  Ammonia and water were added at this point also.  The am-
 monia was fed from an anhydrous liquid NH« tank using a rotameter for coarse flow
 adjustment.  Water  was  injected in liquid form using a small rotary pump.  The
 vaporizer-mixer was a 5/8 - in. dia. stainless steel tube, 10 inches long filled with
 1/8-in. glass beads. The tube was lagged with a heating tape and insulated  to main-
 tain a temperature of at  least 350°C.

     When SO2 was used,  its injection point was immediately upstream of the vapori-
 zer-heater.  Earlier attempts to introduce SOg at the common entry for NH3,  air.and
 HgO invariably led to plugging of the system due to salt formation at low temperatures.

     The reactor was a stainless steel tube with end fittings containing stainless steel
 screen discs to  retain the catalyst.  Two reactor sizes  were employed.  The standard
 size used in most of the  tests was constructed of 5/8 in. dia. tubing to contain 14 ml.
 of catalyst. The second reactor was constructed of 1.0  in. tubing and had an internal
 volume of 28 ml.

 4.3. ANALYTICAL EQUIPMENT AND PROCEDURE

     Inlet and outlet analyses for NO were made with a Beckman Model 315A non-dis-
 persive infrared analyzer. Routine analyses for NO2 were made with a Beckman
 Model 77 visible-light analyzer.

     Nitrous oxide (N2°)  concentrations were determined with a Perkin-Elmer Model
 990 chromatograph with a 6 ft, 1/8 in. -dia. column of Porapak Q operating  at room
 temperature.  The temperature was varied periodically  up to 150°C during  analyses
 of outlet gases in the presence of SO2 to check for the production of H2S and COS. In
view of the overall oxidizing nature of the test atmosphere, the presence of  either

species was considered unlikely; neither was found in any instance (surface dissocia-
tion of NH3 was considered to be a possible source of H2 which with H2O and CO2,
through the water gas shift, could be a source of CO).

     Ammonia was analyzed by two methods.  In the absence of SO-, a wet  titration
method was employed.  A volume of gas,  measured with a wet-test meter, was drawn
through an absorber containing 4$ boric acid in water. The absorber contents were
titrated with 0.04 N HC1 using bromcresol green indicator.  When SO- is present,
sulfite and sulfate interfere with the HCl titration. In these tests, NHo analyses were
performed on the contents  of the absorber with an Orion specific ion electrode and a
Keithley electrometer.

     Sulfur dioxide was determined indirectly by measuring separately sulfur trioxide
and total oxides of sulfur.  In the former measurement, a known volume of gas was
absorbed in a train of bubblers containing 80£ isopropanol in water. An aliquot of the
solution was titrated  with 0.01  N BaClO. using Thorin indicator.  The precipitate
formed remains  colloidal in the high concentration of non-aqueous solvent.  Thorin,
which adsorbs on the precipitate, undergoes a color  change from yellow to pink in
excess Ba  . Sulfur dioxide, carbon dioxide and ammonia  do notjnterfere with the
titration which is specific for SO  (4-1).  Oxidation  of sulfite  (SO~ from dissolved
SO ) is avoided by maintaining the absorbent at ice temperature until titration.

     Total oxides of sulfur  were determined by passing a known volume of gas through
bubblers containing basic 1.5$ H~O   (equi-volume mixture of 0.2 N NaOH and 3$
HO).  Any SO  absorbed in the oubbler was oxidized by HLO_ to SO~.  The contents
of the bubbler were acidified to prevent formation of Ba(OH)9 in the ensuing titration,
boiled to drive off CO2> passed through a cation exchange resin to remove interfering
sodium and then titrated as above.

     The sulfur dioxide concentration was calculated  as the difference between total
oxides of sulfur and SO  . Although there was some difficulty in observing the end
point with laboratory-prepared solutions of H  SO  as a source of SO~ , it was found
that the technique was accurate to within 3% when gases with known concentrations of
SO2 were absorbed in basic H_O .  The difficulty in  applying the method to the solu-
tions of H_SO, may be related! to the dibasic acid equilibrium between SO^ and HSO~.

4.4.  STANDARD FLUE  GAS COMPOSITION AND FLOW RATE

     In Task 1, optimization of catalyst composition was  based on performance using
a single test gas  mixture that had as the sole variable the NH  concentration.   This
mixture, called in this report the "standard flue gas" was also used in most of the
durability tests.  The NH3 concentrations were either near-stoichiometric for reduc-
tion of NO to N  or in excess.
              A

     The standard flue gas contained 12^ CO-, 5^ H^O, 3$ O- and 1000 ppm (parts
per million by volume) NO  in N2»  Ammonia was either 650-^750 ppm (670 ppm is

                                       16

stoichiometric) or 1000-1100 ppm.  By using the 14 ml. reactor, the normal total
gas flow rate was 280 liters/hr (STP: 0°C, 1 atm) providing a space velocity of 20,000
hr"1. The 28 ml. reactor at the normal flow rate provided a space velocity of 10,000
hr-1.

4.5. TEST PROCEDURE

    The typical start up procedure was to adjust N, flow rate temporarily to 266
liters/hr (corresponding to total dry gas in the flue gas mixture) and to introduce NO
at 1000 ppm in order to span the NO analyzer.  The N2 flow rate was then decreased
to correspond to its concentration in the flue gas (allowing for the N_ introduced in the
air stream) and the  other gas species (except for NH ) were added.
                                                t>

    The sand bath aid the vaporizer/mixer heaters and those on the lines to the ab-
sorbers were set to appropriate power levels.  Using the analyzer calibration curves,
the desired NO  concentration was  obtained by adjusting the feed needle valve.  The
desired ammonia concentration was estimated with a rotameter.  The gas mixing
process was allowed to stabilize for about 30 minutes and the inlet stream was sam-
pled for NHo, using the titration method described above, and the NH., concentration
adjusted as required.

    If SO2 was  to be added,  it was introduced using a rotameter as a guide. Analysis
of the inlel: stream followed the described procedure. After introduction of SO9, all
subsequent inlet and outlet NH  analyses were performed with the Orion probe. Out-
let  and inlet analyses were routinely performed using as a criterion for  steady-state
the constant, analyzed concentrations of NO, N0O, NO9,  and NHo for at least 30 min-

utes.

    In the parametric studies  (Task 2), NO, NEL, Og, CO2 and H2O concentrations,
as well as temperature and flow rate, were all varied to provide large perturbations
from the standard conditions.

    In the durability studies with SO present,  periods of steady-state operation under
SO  -free conditions were frequently Tollowed to provide comparison data and to check
for catalyst degradation.

4.6.  DATA REDUCTION

    Development of empirical rate expressions proceeded according to the following
sequence.  A rate expression of the following form was assumed:

      ,    .  n  m   q      .  -E/RT «n    m   q   g-moles NO        (1)

A computer program was employed that determines an experimental rate constant
(k   ) for each  data point and then determines by linear regression the best-fit A and

     The computer calculation determines the k    for a large number of combinations
of n,m and q.  For each combination, linear regression of kex_ as a function of (1/T)
is performed, giving the constants A and E (see Eq.  1).  The program then determines
the sum of squares ( a ) of the difference between specific rate  constants calculated
from the regression parameters and the experimental values, k    »

The minimum sum of squares,   found by inspection of the output record,  corres-

    The resulting rate expression describes global kinetics in the test system em-
ployed.  This  rate expression, by itself, cannot be used to predict performance in
other reactors unless it can be demonstrated that in the generation of experimental
data,  there were no bulk diffusion and pore diffusion effects. That is, for design
purposes, an intrinsic (surface) rate expression must be available from which global
rates in other equipment can be predicted.

                                       18

-------
    To determine intrinsic rate expressions a second computer program was em-
ployed. This program determines, in a step-by-step manner from reactor inlet to
outlet, the surface concentrations of reactants and surface temperatures based on
mass and heat transfer correlations,  and an effectiveness factor, r\  (defined below),
which parameterizes internal diffusion effects.  By assuming an intrinsic (surface)
rate expression,  the degree of conversion of NO is calculated throughout the  catalyst
bed.  The rate at any point (i) is determined by

                        ri *  ^s PNO PNH P0,                            
                                          o    A

where k   is the intrinsic rate constant and the partial pressures are those at the outer
       o
surface,  as determined in the bulk diffusion effect calculations. Calculated conversion
at the reactor outlet is compared with the experimental value and the process is re-
peated with modified forms of the assumed intrinsic rate expression until agreement
is obtained.  Effectiveness factors were determined for each reactor segment in a
step-wise procedure using relationships involving the Thiele diffusion modulus (4-2,
4-3, 4-4).  Near-unity values of TI indicate that pore diffusion effects are negligible.
For convenience,  the calculation procedure begins by assuming that the intrinsic
rate parameters are those determined from the correlation of the global rates as
described earlier (i. e.,  initially assuming negligible mass transfer resistances).

    The final form of the intrinsic rate expression can be utilized for the determina-
tion of global rates of reaction at any scale of operation (assuming catalyst surface
activity is unchanged) by calculating surface concentrations and temperatures and
effectiveness factors for the desired conditions.    More  details of the computer
program have appeared in other publications (4-4, 4-5).

4.7.  LITERATURE ACQUISITION (Task 3)

    The computerized literature survey at the UCLA library, augmented by compila-
tions from APTIC, provided appropriate references of articles and patents pertinent
to NO  catalysis.  A thorough analysis of each reference was not attempted in the
project;.  This survey was used to identify particularly promising catalysts used for
the selective reduction of NO with NHo and to obtain, where possible, pertinent op-
erating data.

    The primary source of literature was from patent files and, of these, by far,
the predominant sources were Japanese. A number of these patents were translated.
The majority of the literature sources could not be obtained during the course of the
project.  Reliance on abstracts as published by the standard literature-retrieval ab-
stracting  services was made to provide some information.  A list of references was
made, including such pertinent data as was available, and is presented in Appendix A.

                                  5. RESULTS

     The results of the experimental effort in each of the three tasks are summarized
 in the following sections. Tasks 1 and 2 were performed chronologically, as de-
 scribed, while Task 3 was performed as a continuing effort throughout the program.

 5.1. Task 1. OPTIMIZATION OF COMPOSITION AND DEVELOPMENT OF CHEMICAL
             SPECIFICATIONS OF VANADIA AND IRON-CHROMIUM CATALYSTS

     Several catalysts were prepared with variations in the amount of active material
 and, in the case of Fe-Cr catalysts, in the ratio of the metal constituents.  In addition,
 several commercial catalysts were obtained and tested. Tests in simulated flue gas
 containing 1256  COn, 3/6 O, and 5$ HoO and either stoichiometric or excess NH3 were
 performed to assess the effects of catalyst composition on catalyst activity. Tem-
 perature was the only variable (other than the two NH  concentrations) in the screening
 studies.  Although some of the catalysts, which have been shown to be inferior under
 the present study, may be more active under other conditions, such operating modes
 will probably be outside of practical operating regimes.

     Prior to conducting the screening tests a check was made to determine if  reac-
 tion occurred in the empty reactor and feed systems and to determine the extent of
 conversion of NO to NO- in colder parts of the system.  Negligible conversion of NO
 to N« or N2O was observed, although a small amount of NO2 was formed,  depending
 on O2 concentration.  In general, NO2  production was less than 100 ppm with 1000
 ppm NO in 3% O .  It was deduced that the NO2 was formed in the NO2 analyzer itself
 which has a 15 minute residence time at the sampling flow rate employed.  Inlet and
 outlet concentrations  of NOX as tabulated in this report have been corrected to include
 the small NO0 concentrations observed.

 5.1.1.  Vanadia Catalysts

     Several vanadia-alumina catalysts were prepared with various concentrations of
 V-O . Compositions are listed in Table 1.   Filtrol Grade 86 AlgO, (1/8-in. dia. x
 3/16 - in. long cylinders) was used as  support material in the first series of prepara-
 tions. Catalysts containing 10, 15, 20 and 25$ (by weight) V2O  were prepared by
 impregnating the AlgO  pellets with aqueous  solutions of ammonium metavanadate
 (oxalic acid was usea to increase the solubility of the vanadate).  The impregnated
pellets were dried and then calcined in air at 450°C to form the vanadium oxide and
drive off ammonia and organics.

                                      20

-------
    Catalyst activity was determined in a simulated flue gas stream containing 12$
CO2,  5$ H2O, 3$ O_ and 1000 ppm NO with approximately 700 ppm or 1100 ppm NHg
(balance N2>.  The 700 ppm NH_ concentration represents a near-stoichiometric
amount for conversion of the NO to N2« The 1100 ppm NH  represents a 65$ excess of
NKL.  Temperature was varied from 100 to about 450°C with each catalyst.  Flow
rates were maintained at 280 liters/hr (STP) to provide a space velocity of 20,000 hr"1
(STP).

    Figures 5 and 6 show conversion of NO as a function of temperature for 700 and
1100 ppm NH_, respectively.  Also included in the figures are data for the commercial
10% V O5-A12O3 catalyst (Harshaw V-0601T 1/8) obtained in the previous TRW/UCLA
project.  Figure 5 shows that the prepared V2Og catalysts were of approximately equi-
valent activity at the stoichiometric NEL/NO ratio.  Between 300-450°C the prepared
catalysts were more active than the commercial catalyst.

    With excess NH3 (Figure 6) highest conversion levels for temperatures above
250°C were obtained with the 15$ catalyst.  However,  the differences in activity of the
prepared catalyst were not large.  The commercial V«O  catalyst was as active as
the 10 and 25$ catalysts at the higher temperatures.

    Figure 7 shows that, at 300 and 400°C, the optimum composition occurs at about
15$ V2O .  The decreased activity of the 25$ catalyst may be due to excessive loading
of V0O  in the catalyst pores with a  corresponding decrease in surface area.
    u 5

    The surface area of the Harshaw catalyst was reported as 115 sq. m/gm.  Using
a chromatographic surface area measurement technique, the surface area was deter-
mined to be 103 sq.  m/gm,  indicating good agreement with the reported Harshaw BET
value. Surface areas of the 15 and 25$V2O catalysts were 198 and 154 sq. m/gm,
respectively, lending support to the hyposthesis that reduced activity above 15$ V2O
is related to decreased surface area.

    Two additional catalysts were prepared using Alcoa activated aluminas as support
material for comparison with catalysts using the Filtrol-alumina support. The opti-
mum level of 15$ VnOg, as determined in the studies  with the  Filtrol support, was
impregnated on Alcoa F-l-1/4-8 and H-151 aluminas. The former was in the form of
irregular granules up to 1/4 in. Particles of about 1/8-in. were selected for use.
The H-151-8 alumina was in the form of 1/8-in spheres.

    The F-l-1/4-8 and H-151 catalysts were tested in simulated flue gas with 1000
ppm NO and 1100 ppm NHq.  Figure 8 shows that the F-l-1/4-8 support provided
significantly higher activity than H-151.  Also shown in the figure are data for Filtrol
Grade 86 catalyst containing 15$ V.O  for  runs with 1100 ppm NH .  Above 380°C the
Filtrol and the F-l-1/4-8 supported catalysts were equivalent in activity.  Below that
temperature the latter support appeared distinctly superior.  In particular, maximum
conversion (about 95$) occurred at only 340°C compared to a slightly lower conver-
sion maximum at 390°C with Filtrol alumina.

      With all the V2O5 catalysts tested, no N2O was detected in the exhaust gas
stream.  NHg consumption was, in general, less than 65$ in excess of the theoretical
amount required to achieve total reduction of NO to Ng.  Up to the temperature of max-
imum NO conversion with each catalyst,  above the maximum, NH_ usage increased
sharply and,  at about 420°C, reached values more than double that required for the
reduction of NO.  It is  probable that some of the NH, which reacted at higher tem-
peratures was oxidized directly to NO.


     Additional tests of 15$ vo°5 catalyst on Alcoa F-l -1/4-8 activated alumina car-
 rier were performed to verify tne initial, promising results which indicated somewhat
 improved performance over the Filtrol Grade 86  carrier, particularly at the lower
 temperatures. Repeat runs were made in simulated flue gas with 1100 ppm  NH3 to
 determine the repeatability of earlier data.  Figure 9 shows that both sets of data are
 within expected experimental error.

     For reference, Figure 9 also includes data for the 15$ , laboratory-prepared cat-
 alyst on Filtrol Grade 86 carrier and the two sets of data for the commercial Harshaw
     V2O  catalyst.  The first set was obtained in the earlier UCLA/TRW program.
 The second set of data was obtained during the present project.  Again, satisfactory
 repeatability is indicated.  The data indicate that the Alcoa support provides superior
 activity to either the commercial Harshaw or Filtrol A^Og -supported, prepared cat-
 alyst at lower temperatures.  On face value the results would seem to indicate better
 carrier performance for the Alcoa compared to the Filtrol type.  However, other
 characteristics were considered in the selection of the most suitable carrier.

     It was noticed during testing of the Alcoa catalyst that considerable fines were
 produced, leading in one test to excessive back pressure in the system.  This parti-
 cular activated alumina  is not normally marketed as a catalyst carrier, but is usually
 used as a dessicant. Even though Alcoa reports that F-series activated aluminas have
 high abrasion and water-breakage resistances, the present results suggested a com-
 parison of the crush strengths of the various catalysts of interest.

     Table 2 summarizes results of compression testing of the Harshaw commercial
 catalyst, the laboratory prepared catalysts and the Filtrol and Alcoa carriers.  The
 H-151-8 is spherical and F-l -1/4-8 is granular; thus, only one mode of testing is
 given for these materials.  The Alcoa aluminas are noticibly weaker than either the
 Filtrol or Harshaw catalysts.  The low strength of the Alcoa aluminas eliminated
 them from consideration for NOX control.  Also, the degree of powdering observed
 for this small, bench scale of operation is expected to be  magnified under full-scale
 operation.

     It should be mentioned that another commercial V?O  (10$ ) catalyst prepared by
 Filtrol was tested in the earlier project and was found To oe physically inferior to the
 Harshaw catalyst.  More importantly, it was found to be chemically unstable.  It is
 interesting that only the  Filtrol Grade 86 carrier is reasonably strong.  No informa-
 tion is available to indicate if the Filtrol V2O5 catalyst contains the Grade 86

    A brief series of tests was performed with catalysts using Aeroban ZW-1470 car-
rier (ALjO  - SiC>2) from American Cyanamid to compare activity with catalysts using
the Filtrol Al O .   Figure 10 shows that for a feed gas containing 1000
ppm NO and excess NH , there is substantially no difference between the two catalysts.
With stoichlometric Nrfl the Filtrol-supported catalyst appears slightly superior.

    A commercial vanadia catalyst specifically developed for SO2 oxidation in contact
sulfuric acid plants was tested to complete the survey of in-house and commercially
prepared V2O-  catalysts. The commercial catalyst was Girdler-Sudchemie type
G-101.  This catalyst was particularly attractive because of its very high physical
strength (37 Ib. ), as reported by the manufacturer.  The actual V2O  content of the
catalyst is unknown.  Information provided by the manufacturer indicate a silica
carrier impregnated with vanadium and potassium salts, the latter in a ratio (as
with V2O  of about 2. 7/1.  Although previous work in this laboratory has shown that

      Tests of activity in simulated flue gas were conducted with either 700 or 1100
ppm NH3 and 1000 ppm NO.  Temperature was varied from 200 to 460°C.  Table 4
summarizes the results of the screening tests.

      In general, the catalysts showed either maximum activity at about 400°C,  or a
broad maximum from 300° to 400° C, except for the 20<£ Fe-Cr oxide catalysts.
Large amounts of NoO, which maximized between 385 and 450°C (i.e., at tempera-
tures in excess of the point of maximum conversion), were produced on these three
20$ catalysts. At the temperature of maximum conversion (300°C) the activity of the
20$catalysts increased with increasing iron content.  This observation is shown clear-
ly (see open points for the 20$active material) in Figures 12 and 13.  At 400°C (closed
points) and excess NHg, Figure 12 shows that maximum conversion occurs at 10$
loading. The catalytic activity of the 9/1 catalyst is superior to both the 1/1 and the
3/1 catalysts at the 10< loading with the latter two of approximately equivalent activity.

      Figure 13 shows a trend of higher activity with increasing iron levels at 400°C
and a near-stoichiometric NHg concentration at both 5 and 20$ loading. All 10$cat-
alysts were of approximately equivalent activity.

      Analysis of these initial results indicates that optimum catalyst composition for
excess NHg operation at 400°C appears to be 10$ active material (Fig. 12). At 300°C,
however, a 204 catalyst with high iron content is indicated for use with either excess
or stoichiometric NH3-

      Previous results (1-2,  see Fig. 2) have shown that with 11$ Fe-Cr (5/1) catalysts
operating at stoichiometric NH3, conversion of NO at 400°C can be increased from
about 60$ to about 80> by decreasing the space velocity from 20,000 hr"1 to 5000 hr"1.
With excess NHL, however, the improvement in conversion by operation at lower
space velocities is more substantial.  For purposes of catalyst selection for para-
metric studies it was assumed that a minimum space velocity of 10,000 hr~l would
be acceptable  for practical reactor sizes.

      Excess usage of NH3 does reflect strongly, of course, on the operating cost.  A

complete economic balance between NH  usage and required NOX abatement (at a par-
ticular site) may indicate acceptable operation at near-stoichiometric NHg levels.
However, to select the optimum catalyst for the parametric tests,  the primary cri-
terion employed in this phase was maximum conversion of NO.  Thus, the data in
Figure 12 was used to select the catalyst for operation with excess NH3.

     Figure 12 shows that with Fe/Cr ratio of 9, conversion of NO for the 20% active
material at 300°C and for the 10$ active material at 400°C is approximately equivalent.
Selection of the 20$ catalyst would depend on whether cost savings  occur by incorpor-
ation of flue gas diversion ductwork at 300°C rather than at 400°C (i.e., less insula-
tion and lower operating temperature for the fly-ash removal cyclone), and if such
savings compensate for the higher catalyst cost.

     It has been shown (1-2) that operation at 400°C is amenable to  existing economizer
outlet conditions with little heat loss.  Operation at 300°C will probably require signi-
ficant alteration in air preheater conditions (normal flue gas outlet temperatures of
18QOC are common), such as initial cooling by air to 300°C and then final heat re-
covery by further cooling after catalytic conversion to desired stack gas temperatures.
Thus, potential cost saving inherent in lower-temperature ductwork (less insulation,
etc.) may be more than offset by additional equipment modifications.

     It should also be noted (Table 4) that the 20$ oxide catalysts promote the formation
of N_O; its effect on air quality has not yet been fully assessed. Similarly, the data
indicate that the 20$ catalysts do not appear to be as  efficient in decomposing (or
oxidizing) excess NHQ at 300°C compared to the 10$ catalysts at 400°C.
                    tj

     These several factors suggested the tentative catalyst selection of the 10$ active
material and operation at 400°C.  However, Figure 12 suggests that even higher im-
provement in activity may be possible if the Fe/Cr ratio is  increased to values higher
than the maximum (9/1) employed in the preliminary survey.

     In a second series of tests,  catalysts containing Fe/Cr ratios of 20 and 50,  both
at a 10$ loading, were prepared and tested. Figure 14 summarizes the results.
Table 5 identifies the catalysts represented.  In addition, catalysts containing Cr-
free iron oxide were studied  - 10$ Fe2O  on A12O. 20$ Fe  O~ on AlgO-,  and com-
mercial 10$ Fe2O3 on AlgOg (Harshaw Fe^-0301 -Tl/8).  Finally, to complete the
test matrix, the Fe-Cr composition examined in the previous program (with TRW)
was retested.  This catalyst  was about 11<^ active material on Al_O  and contained an
Fe/Cr ratio of 5.

     Figure 14 shows that the commercial Fe2O  catalyst has significantly lower  ac-
tivity than the laboratory-prepared catalysts.  The former catalyst and the two pre-
pared Fe2O3 catalysts (10$ and 20$ Fe2O )  appear to exhibit maximum conversion at
temperatures  somewhat higher than 400°C, which was the typical maximum tempera-
ture of the Fe-Cr series.  Included in the figure are data points for the 5/1 Fe-Cr

catalyst (No. 10) obtained in the previous program and the 9/1 Fe-Cr catalyst (No.  6),
which show that at 400°C with a 10$ catalyst there is a definite increase in activity
when a small amount of chromium is added to Fe O  .  The 20/lFe/Cr, 50/1 Fe/Cr
and 5/lFe/Cr catalysts are of equivalent activity. The 20$ Fe O  catalyst is distinc-
tly superior to 10$ Fe  O  and, at 400°C, is equivalent to the Fe-Cr catalysts with
10$ loading.  It is apparent from Figure 14 that optimum operation of the pure Fe O
catalysts will  require temperatures of 450° or higher.

     It is considered that 400°C is the maximum desirable temperature for operation
of the NO catalysts.  Table 5 and Figure 15 summarize NO conversion at that tem-
perature as  a  function of absolute Fe O  and Cr O  concentrations in order to assist
in the selection of the optimum composition. The marked improvement in activity
near 10$ loading by addition of small amounts of Cr O  is shown in the plot in the
direction perpendicular to the X   -Fe O  plane from point 9 to point 6.

      An initial, cursory examination of the results may suggest that the single-com-
ponent, 20$ Fe O  formulation is the most economical catalyst.  However, a more
careful examination indicates that a catalyst of equivalent activity can be prepared by
starting with the 20$ Fe  O  formulation and substituting over half of the Fe_O  content
with an amount of Cr2Oq  equal to only 9^ of the Fe2O  replaced (i.e. , the catalyst
weight of active material is decreased from 20$ Fe O  to a 10$ catalyst with Fe/Cr =
9/1).  By assuming that commercial quantities of catalyst are prepared following the
procedure currently employed in the laboratory and assigning an arbitrary cost of 100
to the 20<* FegO catalyst, the calculated relative cost of the 9/1 Fe-Cr catalyst with
a 10^ loading would be 45.  The relative cost is based on current, moderate-volume
prices for Fe(NO0)0 •  9 H0O and CrOQ.

SiO  + graphite) in .the previous UCLA/TRW project were not particularly promising,
based on a single point screening test.  Nevertheless, it was of interest to determine
the activity of this Fe-Cr catalyst under present test conditions. In particular,  it
was considered possible that the temperature employed in the previous test (400°C)
may not have been that at which the maximum conversion of NO was realized with
this catalyst.  Previously, at 400°C with stoichiometric NH3 in simulated flue gas,
conversion of NO was only 2$ and very extensive decomposition (or oxidation) of NHg
was observed.

      Tests of the Girdler catalyst with stoichiometric NHg were conducted in the cur-
rent project at temperatures varying from 200 to 400°C.  Figure 16 includes these
results. At 400°C conversion of NO was zero even though total usage of NH3 was ob-
served.  At 300°C, at which point the NO conversion maximum was observed, NO
conversion was only 26$.  Considerable ^O was produced, in contrast to the Fe-Cr-
ALO  catalysts prepared at UCLA, which appeared to be formed primarily from the
reaction between NH» and O  .  No further tests were made with the G3A catalyst com-
pleting the catalyst optimization studies.

      Surface areas of several of the Fe-Cr catalysts were measured to determine if
activity was  related to area. Table 6 summarizes the results  of the measurements
and includes NO conversion data at 400°C.  There  appears to be a correlation between
area and activity for the Fe-Cr catalysts although the deviation in areas of the three
catalysts are not markedly different (values given  are averages of several measure-
ments, generally within +  5 sq m/gm). Conversion of NO on the two chromium-free
catalysts appeared to be more dependent on the amount of Fe  O  than on surface area
as shown in the table.

      Based  on the activity tests,  the 10$ catalyst  with an Fe/Cr ratio of 9/1 on Fil-
trol Grade 86 support was  selected for further parametric tests.  At that time there
was no reason to expect that the SOX resistance would be significantly different from
the 11< , Fe-Cr (5/1) catalyst, which had been previously shown to be unaffected by
SOX at 400°C for short exposure time tests. Nevertheless, parametric tests of the
9/1 Fe-Cr catalyst were preceded by a short experimental study of the effect of SOX
on conversion of NO on the 9/1 Fe-Cr catalyst in simulated flue gas.  For  short-term
exposure to SOX (8 hours) there was no  evident deterioration in catalyst activity;  (see
Table 7) thus,  a final selection of the 9/1 Fe-Cr catalyst for use in further parametric
studies was made.

5.1.3.  Preparation of Optimum Catalyst Formulations

     The laboratory procedures used in the preparation of the 15$ V9O and the 10$
Fe-Cr (9/1) catalyst are described in this section. The selected carrier was Filtrol

     The VgOg catalyst was prepared by impregnating 85 gm of dry A12O3 pellets

5.1.4.  Summary of Catalyst Physical  Properties

      Table 8 summarizes the physical characteristics of the catalysts selected for
further study in the parametric and SCL durability studies.  The pertinent parameters
are surface area, pore volume, bulk and particle density and average pore radius.
Pore volumes were measured by acetone absorption and bulk densities by mercury
displacement.  BET surface areas were determined by N2 adsorption at the normal
b.p.  of  liquid nitrogen.    Average  pore radii were calculated from measured
surface areas and pore volumes.

              CATALYSTS IN THE PRESENCE OF
      In addition to the determination of the effect of the presence of SO  on the tem-
perature-activity characteristics of V O and Fe-Cr catalysts during short and long-
term exposure, as stated in the title of this study task, a concurrent objective was to
develop rate expressions for the catalysts suitable for design use.  The rate expres-
sions should represent intrinsic surface rates, including the effects of O2,  H2O and
CO  as well as SO , s.o that reasonable predictions of performance over a wide range
of operating conditions can be made.
                                      46

-------
      The approach used in this task was to vary widely the operating parameters about
the standard flue gas conditions (125? CO2>  3#O  , S^HgO,  1000 ppm NO, stoichio-
metric or excess NH~ in Ng at 400° C and  20,000 hr-1  (STP) space velocity.  The
parameters were varied individually or in various combinations.  After establishing
tentative performance characteristics in the absence of SOx, the test procedure was
repeated, in part, with SCL. added to the flue gas. The data were correlated in the
                        X
development of empirical rate expressions.

      At the conclusion of the parametric test program each of the catalysts was sub-
jected to long-term exposure  to SOX under operating conditions. The important para-
meters,  such as temperature, NH.,/NO ratio, and space velocity were varied during
the durability test program.

5.2.1.  Parametric Studies
      The results of previous studies and those obtained in Task 1 indicated that con-
version of NO in flue gas was the result of several parallel and consecutive processes.
Both V O_ and Fe-Cr catalysts exhibited maxima in conversion as a function of tem-
perature and both were sharply influenced by the presence of O0.
                                                          £

      For design use, it  Is desirable that working rate expressions be as simple as
possible.  To meet this objective, power law rate expressions were used to corre-
late the experimental kinetic data.  The effects of CO  , I^O, O  could be incorpora-
ted as individual concentration-reaction order terms.  A thorough kinetic evaluation
involving surface phenomena and reaction mechanisms to determine the role of each
species was deemed beyond the scope of this project.

      The NO-NEL reaction is sufficiently complex that the determination of a single,
simple rate  expression which will be valid over entire spectrum of possible flue gas
conditions is not likely.   The  rate of NO reduction on both catalysts was  markedly in-
creased by increases in O  content at low O« levels. Above about 0.5$ the conversion
of NO was not as markedly increased with increase in O?. Depending on temperature,
O2 may have either an enhancement or  an inhibition effect on removal of NO.  Although
the influence of H9O and CO2  on the rate of reaction was not known, the exhaust of
fossil fuel-burning plants will never be devoid of CO2 or H^O.  Therefore, it is rea-
sonable to examine only the expected concentrations of these species for fuels ranging
from coal to natural gas.  In the earlier program, the presence of SOX at concentra-
tions of 1000-1500 ppm did not appear to influence the reduction of NO in excess NH3.
However,  a  poisoning term may be required in the rate expressions at higher SOX
concentrations.

      The most difficult task is the mathematical representation of the rate of reduc-
tion of NO near and above the temperature of maximum conversion.  Two approaches
were considered.  First, simple separate rate expressions for apparent conversion
of NO may be developed to define the ascending and descending portions of the con-


                                     47

-------
version curve.  Second,  since the maximum in the conversion of NO is probably
caused by the onset of NH  oxidation with subsequent depletion of the reducing agent
(and, frequently, the actual production of NO), it may be possible to combine a single
expression for the rate of reduction of NO with a parallel rate expression for the oxi-
dation of NH .
            O

      The experimental approach that was followed in the parametric tests was to
first use the standard simulated flue gas mixture typical for coal combustion (12$
COg, 5$ HgO, 3# O ) varying the NO concentration from 250 to 1500 ppm and the NHL
concentration between about 0.5 to 1.5 times the stoichiometric requirement for each
NO concentration. Then, at the maximum conversion point with each NO/NBL ratio,
the CO2 and HO concentrations were perturbed  from the standard flue gas concen-
trations to the maximum and minimum values  expected in actual use  (e.g., from
about 8$to 15< CO and from about 3$ to IS^ELO). Also, additional tests were con-
ducted with gas containing neither CO2 nor HoCT(for use as a reference base).

      The effect of changes in the O2 concentration were investigated at concentra-
tions of NO of 750 ppm and 1000 ppm with at least two concentration levels of NH«
(stoichiometric and 1.5 times stoichiometric) and oxygen concentrations varying Trom
0 to 5 % .  In these tests, temperatures were varied from 280 to 500°C.

      The last phase of the parametric tests included the addition of SOX at various
concentrations to the test gas.  In this latter series of tests,  the possible cross ef-
fects with H0O, O and NH0 were assessed by including SOX in a test matrix.

5.2.1.1.  VgO_ Catalyst
      Table 9 presents typical preliminary parametric data obtained for the V O cat-
alyst at 20,000 hr~l  space velocity for variations in temperature and concentrations
of NO , NH0 and O . The following tentative conclusions are indicated from the data:
     X     o      2

      1.  Nitrous oxide (NO) is not a significant product with the VnO- catalyst except
         at high concentrations of NO and NH and then only at temperatures well
         above that for maximum conversion (conversion maximized at 400°C).

      2.  Conversion of NBL continues to increase monotonically with temperature be-
         yond the point of maximum NO conversion.

      3.  The NHq concentration influences NO conversion most strongly below about
         1.5 times the stoichiometric level (i.e. NH../NO inlet concentration ratio of
         1).  Above this concentration ratio, excess NHg does not influence the reac-
         tion substantially.

     4.  Varying the H2O concentration from 0 to 18$ does not have a significant in-
         fluence on  the conversion  of NO.

      5.   The influence of CC>2 on NO conversion appears to be quite small between 8
          and 14^8 CO_. The largest effect observed is at stoichiometric NEL levels
          or lower ana may be of only academic interest (all indications are  that ex-
          cess NH_ will be required for optimum NO conversion).
                 o
      6.   Oxygen strongly influences the rate of NO reduction below 0,5^ O« with either
          stoichiometric or excess NEL. The effect is one of definite enhancement with
          excess NH~. Interestingly, me enhancement effect is also-apparent at temper-
          atures greater than that at maximum NO conversion. Previous work in this
          laboratory, .with platinum  catalyst; indicated  that O« inhibits the NO reaction
          at temperatures greater than that at maximum conversion (about 200°C with Pt).

      The influence of the NH3/NO ratio on the conversion of NO is shown clearly in
Figures 17 and 18 for NO concentrations of 280 ppm and from 770 to 1485 ppm respec-
tively.  It can be seen that with an NO concentration of 770 ppm or higher (Fig. 18),
the absolute NO concentration, at a  given temperature, does not influence the rate of
NO conversion; instead, it appears that the reactant ratio and temperature  controls
the conversion of NO.  This observation was also made in the earlier program with
Pt, V0O  and Fe-Cr catalysts.
     2  5

      Figure 17 shows  a conversion maximum at NEL/NO ratios of about 1.1:1 at all
temperatures, whereas no such behavior is evident in  Figure 18.  It is not  known if
this apparent difference in the relationship between conversion and reactant ratio for
low NO concentrations  indicates a change in mechanism. It is possible that uncer-
tanties in establishing and maintaining the low flow  rates may have magnified the ex-
perimental error.  In fact,  some difficulty was experienced in the operation of the
water vaporizer, which could have led to fluctuations in the total flow (and, hence,
concentrations) and back pressure.

      Oxygen strongly affects NO conversion below  0.5% O_. The O, effect  below 0.5$
O2  is shown clearly in Figures 19,20and 21 for 1000 ppm,790-890 ppm and490-6QO ppm
NO, respectively. Although the nitrogen carrier gas may contain as much as 1000 ppm
On, the data for "zero"O2 are shown on the ordinate.  It is quite likely that conversion
for completely On-free conditions may be even lower than the values shown.

      Even under "low  excess air firing," ^ concentrations are rarely below 0.5$.
Furthermore, such near-stoichiometric combustion has not been fully perfected for
solid fuel (coal).  Therefore, the projected mathematical modelling was designed to
cover O0 concentrations above 0.5$ .
       a

      Reduction of NO is enhanced by Q^ up to the temperatures of maximum  conver-
sion (400°C) for all NO levels.  For 1000 ppm NO,  enhancement was observed at
500°C with both NEL  levels (Figure  19). With 790-890 ppm NO, enhancement occurs
with excess NHg but not with stoichiometric NEL (Figure 20).  However, with 490-
600 ppm NO, no significant enhancement occurs with either NHL level at 500°C (Fig-
ure 21).

-------
      The absence of Oo enhancement of the reduction of NO at 500°C with stoichio-
metric NH3 for intermediate NO levels  and with both stoichiometric and excess NH
for very low NO levels is not immediately obvious. Since the NHg-O  reaction should
predominate at 500°C, the observed effect may be related to a balance between the re-
duction of inlet NO and the formation of NO from NKL oxidation.
                                                 O

          The effect of water vapor on NO reduction in simulated flue gas was studied
by varying the water vapor concentration to 18$  (simulation of methane combustion).
The preliminary test results given in Table 9 indicated that NO conversion was not
appreciably changed between water vapor concentrations of 0 to 10$.  Additional data
presented in Table 10 and Figure 22 show that conversion of 855 to 1030 ppm NO was
not affected by variable I^O concentrations with either stoichiometric or excess NH,,.

      The preliminary observation that  CO had only a slight effect on NO conversion
(Table 9) was confirmed by the results of additional tests shown in Table 11  and Fig-
ure 23.  The effect on NO conversion over practical CO2 concentrations between 8 to
    can be  considered to be negligible.
      A study of the effect of residence time (or space velocity) was made. Typical
data are shown in Figure 24 along with representations of data taken at 20, 000 hr~l in
earlier studies. It can be seen that conversion of NO is not significantly affected by
reactor volume at a constant space velocity (10, 000 hr~*) indicating negligible bulk
diffusion effects at that space velocity.  An increase in space velocity (decrease in
residence time) causes a definite decrease in conversion as expected.
      The fact that CO£ and ELO had negligible effects on the rate of reduction of NO
eliminated the necessity for incorporating concentration terms for these species in
the rate expression.  The slight increase in conversion of NO with increasing Oo con-
centration above 0.5- indicated that a power-law reaction order for Q^ would be
finite but quite small.

      The parametric data were correlated for individual concentrations of ©2 by the
method of minimization of the sum of squares of the difference between experimental
and calculated reaction rate constants, as described in Section 4.  Initial data reduc-
tion was based on the global rate for the  test system employed. In this initial analy-
sis, bulk and internal diffusion effects are not considered.  A least  square fit of the
logarithm of the rate at various G£ partial pressures versus  the logarithm of Oo par-
tial pressure was then performed for the individual ©2 concentrations.  The rates
used in this regression were calculated from best-fit reaction- rate parameters (E,
activation energy,  A, pre-exponential factor, n, reaction order for NO and m, reac-
tion order for NH«) determined for sets of data at constant ©2 concentrations.

      The apparent reaction order for O« determined by the above technique was 0. 05.

was then used.
      A second iteration of the procedure for the determination of A,  E, n and m was
performed to refine the preliminary values.  The new parameters thus  obtained were
used in a second computer program which determines the conversion of NO from the
assumed rate expression for the experimental inlet concentrations and temperatures
(see Section 4).  As before, interparticle and intraparticle diffusion resistances were
not considered in the determination of the global rate expression.  The  calculated and
experimental values for conversion were then compared and several additional adjust-
ments in the reaction rate parameters were made until  a minimum in the differences
between calculated and experimental conversion was obtained.

      The final global rate expression which provides the best agreement between ex-
perimental and calculated conversion values for T £400°C is

It should be emphasized that the above power law rate expression is only an empirical
representation of the experimental data and does not imply any actual reaction mech-
anism.

      The global rate expression (A) was then used as a first approximation of the in-
trinsic rate expression (which describes the rate of the surface reaction) in the itera-
tive calculation of the conversion of NO in which the effect of external and internal
mass and heat transfer was considered.  The step-by-step procedure involved the
determination of the effectiveness factor for reactor length increments.  The indivi-
dual kinetic parameters (A, E,  m, n) were adjusted until the best agreement between
experimental and calculated percent conversion of NO for all runs was achieved.
The intrinsic rate expression that best describes the data up to 400°C is,

                                          3    2
Equation (B) predicts conversion of NO  well, as shown in Tables 12a and 12b ,  for
space velocities of 20,000 hr~^ and 10,()00 hr~l, respectively. The differences in
the activation energy and the reaction orders between Equations (A) and (B), and the
low effectiveness factor values indicate substantial pore diffusion effects.

      For temperatures above 400°C,  two approaches were used to establish a work-
able global rate expression.  The simplest technique was to fit directly the experi-
mental data for NO conversion to a power law rate expression. The resulting expres-
sion which provided the best fit of all data for T >_ 400°C is:

      The negative activation energy predicts decreasing rates of NO conversion with
 increasing temperature, as observed experimentally.  Table 13 shows reasonable
 agreement between experimental and calculated conversion of NO. The largest dis-
 crepencies occurred at 500 C with excess NH0.
                                          «i

      For the conditions to which Equation (C) applies, the apparent, net  conversion
 of NO decreases with increasing temperature because (a)  NH  is being depleted due
 to reaction with Q  and (b) under some conditions, NO is the product of NH oxidation
 with O  .  It can be shown that in the absence of such competing reactions, line actual
 rate or reduction of NO does not pass through a maximum over the temperature range
 of this study.

      A second method examined for correlating the kinetic data above 400°C used
 Equation  (A) in conjunction with an expression for NH,,  reaction due to decomposition
 and oxidation by O2 as measured under NO-free conditions.  As an approximation, it
 was assumed that the reactions were consecutive and the appropriate NH~ partial
 pressure  for Equation (1) was that remaining after the latter reactions. This study
 was not successful.  It is quite apparent that the individual reactions are not consecu-
 tive as assumed.  In fact, it has been shown (5-1) that even in the ascending- tempera-
 ture region,  for which an adequate empirical rate expression was obtained, the reac-
 tions of NO,  NH» and O  are interrelated in a complex manner.
               O      £i

      An analysis  of the experimental kinetic data above 400°C considering external
 and internal diffusion was not attempted.

 5.2.1.2.  Fe-Cr Catalyst
      The selected 1056 iron-chromium oxide catalyst with an Fe/Cr ratio  of 9/1 was
 submitted to a parametric test program following the general procedure used for V2O

      Preliminary tests were concerned primarily with establishing the effects of NO
 and NH« concentration on conversion of NO.  Table 14 summarizes typical data for
 temperatures from 200 to 490°C with NO varying from about 320 to 1400 ppm and NH
 varying in amount slightly below stoichiometric to a 3/1 ratio with respect to NO.
 The standard flue gas composition (124CO2> 3#O2, 5$ H2O in N2) was used at 20,000
 hr~* space velocity. Nitrous oxide was produced only with large concentrations of
 NO at 490°C.  The data indicate that conversion of NO is a function of the  NHo/NO
 ratio as observed with the VJD  catalyst.  Figure 25 shows this dependency for tem-
 peratures up to 395°C -

      As with the VgO  catalyst, conversion of NO did not vary above NH3/NO ratios
of about 1.1  (0.67 NH^/NO is stoichiometric for conversion of NO to-Ng).   For NHo/
 NO < 1, a change in tne reactant ratie has a significant  effect on the conversion of NO;

and there is a trend toward increasing dependency on the reactant ratio with increasing
temperature.  This result was also observed with the V2O catalyst.  For tempera-
tures of 390°C and higher,  Figure 26 shows that the conversion of NO is not dependent
on the individual concentrations of NO and NH3 but dependent on the NEU/NO ratio.
The lower and upper curves are for 400 and 440°C, respectively.  The data indicate
that a broad maximum in conversion on the Fe-Cr catalyst occurred at 440°C and a
sharp decrease at temperatures above 400°C was not observed as was observed for the
V2°5 catalyst*  Figure 26 also shows that conversion at 490°C (half-filled points) is
equivalent to that at 400<>C for low NH3/NO ratios and to that at 440OC for higher NH3/
NO ratios.

      The broad maximum in conversion for the  Fe-Cr catalyst offers the operational
 advantage that temperature regulation of the reactor will  not be as strict as for the
 V_O5 catalyst.  A single rate expression for design use up to 450°C should be appli-
 cable.  For instance, nominal operation at 425°C could tolerate a ^ 25° temperature
 variation with only a 2% change in conversion.

      The effects of H2O and CO2 on NO conversion were determined by varying the
 ELO and CO2 concentrations  about the nominal, simulated flue gas values.  Carbon
 dioxide concentration was varied from 0 to 20$ (nominal = 12$ ) and water vapor was
 varied from 0 to 1858 (nominal = 5$ ).  These effects were studied at 400 and 450°C
 with both stoichiometric and  excess NH3  for the  CO2 tests and with excess NH3 for
 the H0O tests.
      U

      Table 15 presents typical data for the parametric study.  Figures 27 and 28
 show that neither CO2 nor H2O have any appreciable effect on the conversion of NOX.
 As with the V2O_ catalyst, such insensitivity to either constituent significantly sim-
 plifies the development of the rate expression.

      Oxygen concentration was varied from 0 to 5$ to determine the extent of the en-
 hancement effect.  Data were obtained for NO concentrations of about 750 and 950 ppm
 with stoichiometric and excess NEL at temperatures from 300 to 450°C.  Table 16
 shows some typical data.

     Figure 29 shows that with stoichiometric or excess NHg  and at all temperatures
 studied, the presence of a small amount of O2 produces substantial enhancement of the
 conversion of NO.  Above 0.5$ an increase in Og affects conversion only slightly.  By
 assuming that only O~ levels  above 0.5# will be considered for design use  (low excess
 air firing cannot realistically be pushed to this low limit), the data indicate a positive,
 near-zero reaction order for O  .  With VgOg, a low reaction order (0.05) was also
 found.  The nearly parallel NO conversion - O2 concentration curves above 0.5#O2  in-
 dicate that the reaction order for O« will be essentially independent of temperature
 and NO/NHQ ratio.

     The effect of space velocity on conversion of NO was assessed in a series of
                                       79

tests using the 28-ml. reactor.  Ammonia concentrations of 720 and 1200 ppm were
employed in standard flue gas containing 1000 ppm NO.  Figure 30 shows typical data
along with representations of composite data taken at 20,000 hr-1 space velocity and
additional data for 10,000 hr"1^/^ flow rate) in the 14 ml. reactor.  The conversion
maxima are seen to be broadened somewhat at the low space velocity.  Above 400°C,
space velocity has little effect on NO conversion with either stoichiometric or excess
NHg. Above 350°C with excess NH3,  reactor size has little effect for a given space
velocity (10, 000 hr~l) indicating that resistance to mass transfer from the bulk gas
stream to the catalyst surface is small for flow rates of that magnitude and larger.

      The data were assembled in computer input format for determination of the
specific reaction rate constants (k) for various reaction orders of NO, NHg and On in
the rate expression,

The sum of the squares of the difference between individually calculated rate constants
and those determined from a least square regression of log k versus  1/T was deter-
mined for each set of m,n and q.

      The reaction order values which resulted in the minimum sum of squares are
given in the global rate expression (the apparent activation energy and pre-exponen-
tial factor were the slope  and intercept of the linear regression, respectively).

      The small influence of oxygen on the rate of conversion of NO is reflected in
the low reaction order (0.15) which was, however, larger than that found for V2O5
(0. 05).  The  reaction order of NO was higher for the Fe-Cr catalyst (0.65 compared
to 0.5) and that of NH  was lower (0.15 compared to 0.4) than for the V^O catalyst.
For both catalysts the sum of the reaction orders was 0.95  in the global ra\e expres-
sions.

     The very broad maximum in conversion of NO on the 9/1 Fe-Cr catalyst pre-
cludes separate rate expressions for the ascending and descending portions of the NO
conversion-temperature curve.  The single rate expression would be applicable to
450°C.  Recommended operation is at 425°C, providing for a considerable tempera-
ture excursion (+ 25  C).

     The intrinsic  rate expression best describing the kinetic data, developed in the
iterative process described for the 9/1 Fe-Cr catalyst is:

Tables 17a andlTb list experimental and calculated conversion of NO based on Equa-
tion (E).  Agreement is good for the 20,000 hr"1 data (Table 17a), but consistently
higher conversion of NO is predicted for 10,000 hr-1 space velocity (Table 17b).  It is
probable that plug flow conditions were not attained at the lower space velocity.

      As with the VgO  catalyst, differences in activation energy and the reaction or-
ders between Equation (D) and (E) as well as the small effectiveness factors for the Fe-
    catalyst indicate the existence  of strong pore diffusion effects.
 5.2.2.  Durability Tests in the Presence of SO,,.

      A primary objective of this project was to determine the effect of prolonged ex-
 posure of the selected catalysts to SO^.  In the previous study it was found that neither
 catalyst suffered degradation for periods of exposure of about 50 hours.  Target per-
 iods greater than 100 hours were desired.

      The procedure, initially, was to obtain durability data at the standard opera-
 tional conditions:  20,000 hr-1  (STP)  space velocity, 400°C reactor temperature, and
 flue gas containing 1000 ppm NO, 700 to 1100 ppm NH3> 12$  CO , 3$ Og, 5£ H2O in
 N_ with up to 2500 ppm of SOX.

 5.2.2.1.  V2O5 Catalyst
      The "v^Og catalyst was first subjected to a series of intermittent exposure per-
 iods of up to 9 hours or less.  The intermittent periods were necessitated by. the lack
 of capability, at that time, to handle the large volumes of gases involved. Subsequen-
 tly, longer exposure periods were employed.  Because of the large number of start-
 up and shut-down periods, each test period with V2O   consisted of initial steady-state
 operation under SOx-free conditions.  This data provided a reference base for com-
 parison with operation in the presence of SOx«  Steady-state runs with constant 6OX
 concentrations  were then conducted.  After each such run, the SQx flow was termina-
 ted and a second steady-state run was conducted in the absence orsOx.  Periodic in-
 let and outlet concentration measurements  were performed during each test period.

      Table IB  summarizes the results of the SOX exposure tests with the VgOj. cat-
 alyst. The SOo present was formed by homogeneous oxidation of the  SO2 in the feed
system. The amount of SO3 formed in the catalytic reactor itself was quite small. 'Some
 SO oxidation on the VO  catalyst, although not alkalirdoped as is typical of QQ  ox-
   2                  g           ,
idation catalysts, was expected.  However, the above results indicate that, under the
present conditions, a single, undoped V-O catalyst bed does not simultaneously re-
duce NO with NH3 and oxidize SO£ with D at 400°C.

      The dashes in the beginning of the table represent analyses not performed for
the indicated species.  In particular, the missing data in several tests include NH3
analyses of the reactor outlet gas in the presence of SOg-  Even though the SOg/SO-
analytical method performed well, some difficulty in obtaining reliable NHg data with

the Orion specific ion electrode was experienced. The erratic operation, which was
traced to a faulty electrometer used to measure the probe output, was corrected.

      For the first 54 hours the usual procedure, as mentioned above, was to conduct
a single run of 9 hours or less.  During the overnight periods, the catalyst was ex-
posed to flowing air at 400°C.  Since these "rest" periods might obscure durability : '
data by providing intermittent catalyst rejuvenation, longer test runs were conducted
in subsequent stages. Catalyst deterioration was not observed for test periods up to
32 hours in length.

      It should be noted that NO and NH« concentrations were not precisely the  same
for reference and durability runs.  Data for the durability tests were representative
of conditions near the end of a test period. Over extended periods, slight shifts in
concentrations occurred, particularly with NH~, the flow rate of which was  subject
to the influence of the ambient temperature on the vaporization rate of the liquid
NH,,.   Nevertheless, the data obtained at reference and run conditions indicate
that SOX did not affect NO  conversion, which was maintained close to 90£ for excess
NH3.

      The data indicate reasonable agreement within experimental error between inlet
and outlet total SO  concentrations indicating,  based only on these results, that solids
formation in the system was either negligible or had, in each case, reached an equili-
brium level. On the other hand, the outlet ammonia concentration invariably was
lower in the presence of SOX than in its absence. In most cases, the additional NH
usage could not be correlated with corresponding decreases in effluent SO .  The fac-
tors influencing the increased usage of NH~ in the presence of SOX have  not been re-

      It was of interest to determine if operation at lower temperatures  would lead to
significant catalyst poisoning or salt deposition.  Several runs were performed at
temperatures as low as 250°C in the presence and absence of SOX.  Table IS shows
typical results  with the concentration data given representative of those determined
near the end of the test periods. As observed at 400°C,  NO  conversion at lower
temperatures was not significantly altered by the presence of SOX«  The results  at
25QOC were surprising in that the anticipated formation of sulfites and sulfates was
expected to "poison" the ¥2 05 catalyst as observed with the platinum catalyst in our
earlier EPA program with TRW. The present data implies that  classical sulfur
poisoning of the Pt catalyst rather than mere salt blockage may have actually occurred
in the earlier study although the Pt catalyst could be rejuvenated by heating in air,
at least after short exposure to SO^.

      At the lower temperatures, significant oxidation of SO2 to  SO3 on  V2O  occur-
red, but it is not certain if the effect is catalytic or homogeneous.  Formation of
SO3 is thermodynamically favored over the entire temperature range employed and
for the reaction,

K  increases approximately by two orders of magnitude when temperature is de-
c?eased from 400 (Kp = 600) to 250OQ (K = 85,000). The failure to observe signifi-
cant SO- at the reactor inlet when the mixer-vaporizer temperature was reduced to
250°C (data not shown) suggests that below 400°C,  the oxidation may be catalyzed on
the V2O5.

      Immediately after introduction of SOX, NO conversion decreased (10$or less).
Recovery of initial activity appeared to be a function of temperature; at 250°C re-
covery took 2 to 5 hours while at 400°C recovery occurred in a matter of minutes.
The data in Tables 18 and 19 are steady-state results for each test period.  Additional
data other than NOX conversion were not obtained during the recovery period. Tenta-
tively, the observed induction period for the recovery of activity implies that, initially,
formation of salts somewhere in the test system may have occurred, depleting the NH_
supply.   Recovery indicates the attainment of a steady-state or equilibrium quantity of
the salt in accord with the satisfactory balances between steady-state inlet and outlet
SO as discussed earlier.

      After about 200  hours, the gas handling capabilities of the laboratory were ex-
panded to enable long  periods of continuous  runs.  During the  overnight periods, the
catalysts were exposed to simulated flue gas containing 500 ppm NO, 500 ppm NH and
350 ppm SOX at 400°C.

      Figure 31 shows that during the SOX exposure period the conversion of NOX was
consistent with pre-exposure data (the solid line is representative of pre-exposure
data).  Also shown in  the figure are several data points taken  in the absence of SOX
after 600 hours of exposure to SOX-   In general, no change in  activity was evident.
The total exposure period for the durability test of the V2O5-A12O3 catalyst was 648
hours.

5.2.2.2. Fe-Cr Catalyst
      As with the VoO5 catalyst,  conversion data of the 9/1  Fe-Cr  catalyst durability
tests were accumulated with the standard flue gas composition with either stoichio-
metric or excess NH_.  The Fe-Cr  catalyst was also normally exposed overnight to
simulated flue gas containing 500 ppm NO, 500 ppm NHg and 350 ppm SOX at 400°C.

      Table 20 summarizes the conversion data obtained during the durability tests at
400°C.  No significant degradation of catalyst performance was observed during the
1052 hours test.

      The stability of  the Fe-Cr catalyst is  markedly different from the iron oxide-
chromium oxide catalyst studied by  Matsuda et al (5-2). Their catalyst preparation
method was not specified (it may have followed the patent of Nonnenmacher and Kartte
(3-1)).  In their study deterioration began immediately after exposure to 500 ppm SO0.

The catalyst recovered activity at 300 hours and then again deteriorated rapidly.  At
about 800 hours the catalyst was about 654 as effective as before exposure.  Matsuda
et al (5-2) attributed the  deterioration of activity to the formation of iron sulfate from
the reaction of the catalyst with SO, .

      In the present study, the inlet gas containing sulfur oxides was predominately
SO9 with SO concentrations roughly about 100 ppm on the average.  Since the SO,
concentrations in the Matsuda study were higher (500 ppm), a direct comparison  of
degradation effects may not be valid.  However, there is no evidence for the direct
reaction of SO_ and FegCL on  the UCLA Fe-Cr catalyst since inlet and outlet SO  con-
centrations  were approximately equal and total SOX balances were,  in most  respects,
reasonably close as shown in Table 20.  Furthermore, several catalysts disclosed in
the patent literature (see Appendix A) for the removal of NO with NH  involve pre-sul-
fation of the catalysts with either aqueous sulfates or oxides of  sulfur.  Therefore,
there is some evidence that certain metallic sulfates are active catalysts.

      The degradation  of the Fe-Cr catalyst in the Matsuda study may be due to SO -
carrier reaction.  However, since details of the catalyst formulations in their worlc
were not provided,  an  external evaluation of their degradation data is precluded.
Nevertheless, SO»-alumina reaction is a possible cause for degradation of alumina-
supported catalysts. The extent and induction time for degradation should depend on
the type of active material and the ratio of active material to alumina.  Such informa-
tion does not appear to be available, at least in the open literature.

      Figure 32 shows  that there  was no overall decrease in the conversion of NO.
There was,  in fact, the indication that the catalyst activity  may have increased some-
what (the solid line is a composite of data for pre-SOx exposure tests), particularly at
low NH3/NO ratios (<0.65).

      Typical data obtained during the overnight test periods with, nominally 500 ppm
NO,  400 ppm NH3 and  350 ppm SOX at 400°C are given in Table 21. Space velocity
was maintained at 20,000 hr~l (STP).  Typical conversions ranged from 85-92$.
These percent conversions were considerably above the 400°C curve of Figure 26 for
comparable conditions  studied before the catalyst was exposed to SOX.

      Although Figure  32 shows,  for higher NO and NH~ concentrations,  a modest in-
crease in catalytic activity after initial exposure to SQ   Table 21 indicates  that, at
lower NO and NH  concentrations, conversion of NO is markedly increased.  The
third-to-last entry of the table, (SOx-free conditions) indicates that the improved
conversion over that observed prior to SOX exposure does not appear to be related to
the immediate presence of SOX itself but is a cumulative change in the  catalyst.

      The improvement in activity with aging in the presence of SOX for both 1000 and
500 ppm NO indicates that the rate expressions, which were based on the parametric
studies, apply to relatively fresh catalysts.   For well-aged catalysts,  the conversion
rates calculated from the developed rate expressions would give lower bound values.

      Investigation of interaction of SOq and ALO  or other carrier material is im-
portant.  The concentrations of SO_ present in this project may have been too low to
induce catalyst degradation effects.  Additional effort in this area either concurrently
or before advancement to demonstration scale of operation is highly desirable.  Iden-
tification of the compound(s) formed and crystallinity changes during prolonged ex-
posure to higher concentrations of SO_, and methods to inhibit the degradation effects
as well as identification of carrier materials  immune to the presence of SO  are
particularly important.problems to be resolved.

5.2.3.  Recommended Operating Conditions

      Removal of large concentrations of NO  (1000 ppm or greater) with NH  in excess
can be achieved on both catalysts at the 80$ level  or higher at a space velocity of
20,000 hr-1.  Removal of approximately 90$  for lower NO concentrations  has been
observed at that space velocity.  At 10,000 hr-1,  90 to 100$ removal of NO is obtained.

      An estimate of the capital and operating costs  of non-noble metal  catalysts  as
adapted to an 800 MW power plant operating at 400°C and 15,000 hr-1 space velocity
has been made previously (1-2).  Working capital  and investment return have been
excluded.  By assuming 10-year depreciation, and annual catalyst replacement, the
estimated costs (1973 dollars) are:
      capital cost — $6.15/KW
      operating cost — 0.088 t, I KWH
The most significant operating expense was, as  expected, the cost of the NH^ feed.
Since catalyst rejuvenation/replacement was estimated to be less than 54 of both  the
operating and the capital cost (initial charge), differences in the costs of the "V^O  and
Fe-Cr catalysts do not change significantly the total capital and operating costs

5. 3 .  Task 3 .  INVESTIGATION OF NEW AND PROMISING  CATALYSTS

      The primary source of literature on NOX catalysis was a computerized search
provided by the UCLA library which was updated at biweekly intervals. The latter was
supplemented by compilations obtained from APTIC.  Particular emphasis was placed
on selective reduction of NO  with NHo, although the references were scanned for
                           .A        *^
claims of selectivity in the presence of O2 with other reducing agents.

      Applicable literature listings, as well as pertinent data (when available) such as
catalyst type,  test conditions, and poisoning effects are tabulated in Appendix A along
with an overall bibliography (from which the catalyst list was assembled).  Acquisition
of all the pertinent complete articles and patents was not possible during the course of
this project.  Most of the tabulated data were obtained from published abstracts rather
than the complete articles.

      The primary source  of the literature was from patent  filings and many of these


                                       106

-------
were Japanese disclosures. Several of the patents were obtained and translated.  Pre-
liminary inspection of the patent literature reveals that a large number of patents re-
lated to the basic disclosures of Nonnenmacher and Karrte (3-1)  for vanadia, molyb-
dena and tungsten oxide catalysts and of Schmidt and Schulze (3-2) for iron-chromium
catalysts.  It is beyond the scope of the present project to explore all the variations in
preparation of these catalyst types.

      Several  catalysts were of considerable interest and samples were prepared for
brief comparative studies. Two of the catalysts were reported by Hitachi Ltd. (5-3)
to be active for NO   reduction with NH3 at 250°C in the absence of SO2 and at about
350°C in the presence of SO2.  Both catalysts (5-4 and 5-5) apparently contain mixed
oxides of the general formula La2Cu1_xZr  O4,  which has a crystal structure similar
to K^NiF,.  The two catalysts were prepared in our laboratory by dry pressing of the
mixed oxide with A^O  (5-4) and by impregnation methods (5-5), respectively.

      A third catalyst of interest was prepared by substitution of a portion of the  VgO-
catalyst with an inexpensive active material in an attempt to reduce catalyst cost with-
out a loss in performance. The  demonstrated high activity of iron-containing catalysts
suggested a binary mixture of VgO- and Fe-O  .  Consequently, a catalyst was pre-
pared by impregnation of A^O  (Filtrol 86) with a solution of Fe(NO )  •  9 H2O and
NH^VCL with oxalic acid addea to increase the solubility of the latter (probably by
reduction of V+^ to V4^).  The impregnated material was then calcined at 500°C.  Final
total oxide concentration (Fe: T ratio of 1/1) was 155? •

     A fourth catalyst was prepared by impregnating AL>O  (Filtrol Grade 86) with a
solution containing NH^VOg and H2C2O  (2:1 molar ratio),

     A very brief durability test of the 15^ Fe-V (1/1)-A12O  catalyst in simulated
 flue gas (s.v. = 10,000 hr"1) containing SOX (420 ppm SO2> 110 ppm  303 ) was
conducted at 400°C.  Concentrations of NOX and NH3 were 1040 and 1210 ppm,
respectively.  At the end of the 26 hour exposure test, 99^ conversion of NOX was
obtained.
     The promising results for the Fe-Cr-V and the Fe-V catalysts indicate that fur-
ther tests are warranted including modification of catalyst composition and catalyst
loading to improve activity and to reduce costs.  In addition, parametric studies and
long term durability tests in the presence of SO  (including concentrations of 803 >
500 ppm) are recommended.

      Specific references of direct pertinence to this project have been examined and
are listed in Table A-l which includes,  in addition to the normal bibliographic nota-
tions, the institution or company affiliations and the specific Chemical Abstracts
reference number.   Data, which are pertinent to NOX catalysis, obtained from these
abstracts and/or papers have been assembled and presented in Table A-2.  Specific
information presented is catalyst type and composition, test conditions, conversion
of NO  or outlet concentrations, selectivity in the presence of O2,  resistance to
sulfur oxides and the extent of durability tests, if reported.  Data for reducing agents
other than NHg (these are predominantly concerned with automotive NOX abatement
systems or, in a few cases, with HNO  -plant tail-gas treatment) are also listed in
Table A-2.  The listings suggest that much of the activity in NO_ catalysis is by Jap-
anese workers and indicate, surprisingly, a lesser interest in the field by U.S.  indus-
try and  governmental agencies.  The bibliographical listing covers the approximate
period from June 1974 to the present and can be  considered to be an update of the
previous survey (1-2).

 is. ABSTRACT Tne report gives results of 2i study of vanadia-alumina and iron oxide-
  chromium oxide-alumina catalysts for the reduction of NO with NH3 in simulated flue
  gas.  Optimum catalyst compositions were 15% V2O5 on A12Q3 and 10% Fe-Cr oxides
  on A12O3 with an Fe/Cr ratio of 1/9, respectively.  Both catalysts were selective
  for the reduction of NO to N2 in the presence of O2.  Both were shown to be sulfur-
  resistant during total periods of operation of 648 hours for V2O5 and 1052 hours for
  Fe-Cr  in the presence of SOx.  Typical conversion levels for V2O5 and Fe-Cr
  catalysts operating at 400 C in  simulated flue gas containing 1000 ppm NO, 1000 ppm
  NH3, in the presence of SOx, were about 90 and 80%,  respectively, at 20,000 per
  hour space velocity.   Rate expressions for both catalysts have been developed for
  design  use.  A tabulation of recent publications in the  field of NOx  catalysis  (parti-
  cularly selective reduction with NH3) is presented.
