Component Specifications

Definition
Active catalytic material refers to the chemically active component within Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) catalysts that enables the conversion of nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen (N2) and water (H2O) through redox reactions. These materials typically consist of metal oxides or zeolites that provide active sites for ammonia adsorption and NOx reduction at specific temperature ranges (typically 300-400°C).
Working Principle
The active catalytic material operates through adsorption and surface reaction mechanisms. Ammonia (NH3) adsorbs onto active sites, where it reacts with NOx gases (primarily NO and NO2) to form nitrogen and water vapor. The material provides optimal surface area and pore structure for gas diffusion while maintaining thermal stability and resistance to poisoning from sulfur compounds or particulates.
Materials
Typically composed of vanadium pentoxide (V2O5) supported on titanium dioxide (TiO2) with tungsten trioxide (WO3) or molybdenum trioxide (MoO3) as promoters. Alternative formulations include zeolite-based materials (such as Cu- or Fe-exchanged zeolites) for higher temperature applications. Material purity requirements: V2O5 >98%, TiO2 anatase phase >95%, with specific surface area 50-100 m²/g.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the primary function of active catalytic material in SCR systems?

The active catalytic material facilitates the chemical reduction of nitrogen oxides (NOx) to nitrogen and water using ammonia as a reducing agent, enabling compliance with emission regulations.

How does temperature affect active catalytic material performance?

Optimal performance occurs between 300-400°C. Below this range, reaction kinetics slow; above this range, thermal degradation and ammonia oxidation may occur, reducing efficiency.

What are common deactivation mechanisms for active catalytic materials?

Common deactivation includes poisoning by sulfur compounds, fouling by particulate matter, thermal sintering at high temperatures, and chemical poisoning from alkali metals or phosphorus.

Can I contact factories directly?

Yes, each factory profile provides direct contact information.
