Abstract

A method for removing nitrogen oxides NOx from a gaseous current, comprising the steps of: passing the gaseous current through a de-NOx catalytic bed with iron exchanged zeolite as a catalyst with the addition of ammonia as a reducing agent, wherein the molar ratio of NH3 over NOx is greater than 1.33.

Description

    FIELD OF THE INVENTION
  • The invention relates to systems for removing nitrogen oxides from a gas.
    • PRIOR ART
  • Removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from a gas is of interest for environmental reasons. The flue gas of a combustion process typically contains NOx due to nitrogen and oxygen in the oxidant air reacting at the high temperature of combustion. A further case of interest is the removal of NOx from the tail gas of nitric acid production. Typically, in the nitric acid production, the tail gas denotes the gaseous current withdrawn from an absorption column where NOx is absorbed into water to produce nitric acid. The tail gas contains residual amounts of NOx which must be removed before the gas can be discharged.
  • A known measure to remove NOx from a gaseous current is passing the NOx-containing gas through a suitable catalytic bed with ammonia as a reducing agent. In the presence of ammonia, the nitrogen oxides are catalytically reduced to N2 and H2O.
  • The addition of ammonia needs be carefully regulated to reach a target removal of NOx while avoiding ammonia slip, i.e. that some ammonia escapes the catalytic bed. A content of ammonia in the output gas leaving the catalytic bed is undesirable, especially if the effluent gas of the catalytic bed is then discharged to atmosphere. The permissible content of ammonia in a gas discharged into atmosphere is generally very low, for example 5 ppm. In some countries, release of ammonia into atmosphere may be subject to a penalty fee.
  • Ammonia slip may also lead to formation of undesirable compounds such as ammonium nitrite or nitrate which can damage downstream equipment. For example the tail gas of nitric acid production is under pressure and is generally sent to an expander after removal of NOx. The above compounds may damage the expander.
    • SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
  • It has been surprisingly found that ammonia slip is unexpectedly low, or negligible, when a NOx-containing gaseous current is passed through a de-NOx catalytic bed, wherein the catalytic bed comprises iron-exchanged zeolite catalyst and the molar ratio of NH3 over NOx in the gas admitted to the catalytic bed is relatively high, being greater than 1.33.
  • Accordingly, an object of the present invention is a method for removing NOx from a gaseous current according to claim 1. Preferred embodiments are disclosed in the dependent claims.
  • The term NOx denotes collectively NO and NO2.
  • The iron-exchanged zeolite catalyst, also termed iron-laden zeolite catalyst, is preferably any of: MFI, BEA, FER, MOR, FAU, MEL, or a combination thereof. Preferably, said iron exchanged zeolite is of the Fe-ZSM-5 type.
  • Preferably said ratio of NH3 over NOx is greater than 1.4, more preferably being 1.4 to 2, more preferably 1.4 to 1.6, even more preferably about 1.5. Preferred values include any of: 1.4, 1.45, 1.5, 1.55, 1.6.
  • After the passage though said de-NOx catalytic bed, the residual amount of NOx in the gas is preferably not greater than 100 ppm, preferably not greater than 50 ppm, more preferably not greater than 25 ppm. The term ppm denotes parts per million in volume.
  • In a preferred embodiment, said de-NOx catalytic bed is operated at a temperature in the range of 400 to 450° C., preferably 430° C. or around 430° C. Preferred working temperatures of the catalytic bed include: 420° C., 425° C., 430° C., 435° C.
  • The space velocity in said de-NOx catalytic bed is preferably 10000 h−1 to 14000 h−1, preferably 10000 to 13000 h−1 and more preferably 13000 h−1.
  • In some embodiments the NOx-containing gas is under pressure. In some embodiments the absolute pressure of the gas in said de-NOx catalytic bed is greater than 1 bar, preferably greater than 2 bar, more preferably 2 to 25 bar, even more preferably 5 to 15 bar.
  • The NOx-containing input gaseous current can be a flue gas of a combustion process, or a tail gas of a process for making nitric acid, namely a gas withdrawn from an absorption column. Removing environmental hazardous compounds from such tail gas (downstream of absorption column) is also termed tertiary abatement in contrast with primary and secondary abatement which are performed upstream the absorption column, or quaternary abatement which is performed after a subsequent expansion of the tail gas through an expander.
  • In an embodiment, the method of the invention does not comprise passing the NOx-containing gas (e.g. combustion flue gas or tail gas of nitric acid production) through a de-N2O catalytic bed before the passage through said de-NOx catalytic bed.
  • In an embodiment, the method of the invention does not comprise passing the NOx-containing gas (e.g. combustion flue gas or tail gas of nitric acid production) through a series of a further de-NOx catalytic bed and a subsequent de-N2O catalytic bed before the passage through said de-NOx catalytic bed.
  • The NOx-containing gas, however, may be passed through a first de-NOx catalytic bed and then into said de-NOx catalytic bed. An embodiment of the method of the invention includes: passing the NOx-containing gas through a first de-NOx catalytic bed, adding ammonia as a reducing agent to the effluent of said first-de-NOx catalytic bed until the molar ratio of NH3 over NOx in said effluent gas is greater than 1.33, preferably 1.4 to 1.6, passing the effluent gas and ammonia directly through said de-NOx catalytic bed without a passage through a de-N2O catalytic bed.
  • In some embodiments the ammonia can be pure or in the form of a reducing agent containing ammonia.
  • The catalytic bed of the invention can be contained in a suitable vessel and can be traversed with axial, radial or mixed axial/radial flow, according to different embodiments. More than one catalytic bed, if provided, can be arranged in the same pressure vessel or separate pressure vessels. More than one catalytic bed contained in a single pressure vessel can be arranged one above the other or concentrically.
  • The invention provides a certain excess ammonia in the de-NOx catalytic bed, the amount of ammonia being more than 1.33 moles per mole of NOx.
  • The applicant has found that, in a surprising manner, the combination of iron-laden zeolite catalyst and of the above NH3/NOx ratio, particularly with an operating temperature of the catalyst around 430° C., results in a virtual absence of ammonia slip, typically less than 1 ppm. At the same time, the nitrogen oxides are efficiently removed. Accordingly the invention provides a method which is able to meet the most stringent limits of NH3 and NOx for emission into atmosphere.
  • The invention will be now further elucidated with reference to a non-limitative example.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • A NOx-containing gas, which can be a combustion flue gas or a tail gas of nitric acid production, is passed through a de-NOx catalytic bed with the addition of ammonia as a reducing agent and NH3/NOx ratio in the gas greater than 1.33.
  • The NOx-containing gas may be admitted directly to said de-NOx catalytic bed or, in some embodiments, can be subject to a preliminary treatment e.g. in another de-NOx catalytic bed.
  • For example, a gas containing 200 ppm of NOx and 10 ppm of N2O, is passed through a de-NOx iron-laden zeolite catalytic bed with a space velocity of 13000 h−1 at a pressure of 7 bar (absolute) and a temperature of 430° C. The gas is a tail gas of nitric acid production and further contains 3% oxygen and around 0.3% water. The NH3/NOx ratio was varied between 1.33 and 1.5.
  • Abatement of 99.4% NOx was observed with a NH3/NOx ratio of 1.4 and 99.7% was observed with a NH3/NOx ratio of 1.5. The ammonia content of the effluent gas was below measurement level, i.e. no ammonia slip was detected.
