ABSTRACT:
A method of treating spent selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst is provided, which method comprises contacting the spent catalyst with a solution comprising a SCR catalyst metal salt, preferably a vanadium salt, and heating the catalyst contacted with the metal salt solution at a calcination temperature in the presence of oxygen. Preferably, after treatment with the metal salt solution, the catalyst is dried with air for at least about 10 seconds and heated to a temperature in the range of about 130.degree. F. to about 170.degree. F. for a period of about 30 minutes to about 90 minutes before heating to the calcination temperature. In addition, a method is provided for restoring the catalytic activity of a SCR catalyst, contaminated with platinum, to enhance catalytic reduction of oxides of nitrogen to nitrogen by the SCR catalyst, said method comprising (a) contacting the spent catalyst with a metal salt containing solution; (b) then heating the catalyst in the presence of oxygen to a calcination temperature at which the metal salt is decomposed to form an oxide of the metal and the metal oxide is bonded to the catalyst support, to form a calcined catalyst; and, (c.) contacting the calcined catalyst with a SCR flue gas stream at a temperature in the range of about 450.degree. F. to about 750.degree. F. Calcination temperatures as low as 250.degree. F. are effective to restore SCR catalyst activity.
