Promotional effect of phosphorus addition on improving the SO2 resistance of V2O5-MoO3/TiO2 catalyst for NH3-SCR of NO

The oxidation of SO 2 into SO 3 promote the formation of NH 4 HSO 4 (ABS), which can cover surface active sites catalyst, and then leading to the decrease of NH 3 -SCR De-NO x activity. In this work, phosphorus species were loaded on the V 2 O 5 -MoO 3 /TiO 2 De-NO x catalyst to enhance its SO 2 resistance via inhibiting the SO 2 /SO 3 conversion. XRD and N 2 -adsorption results showed that phosphorus has little impact on the structure and pore property of the catalyst. The results of XPS, H 2 -TPR, and NH 3 -TPD analyses illustrated that suitable amount of phosphorus (1%) increases the content of polymeric vanadate and chemisorbed oxygen (O α ) of the catalyst, which is benefit to the SCR process. Phosphorus species decreases the SO 2 absorbability and SO 2 oxidation activity of V-Mo-P/Ti catalysts, thus it exhibits higher NH 3 -SCR activity than that of the P-free catalyst at presence of SO 2 due to the lower SO 2 /SO 3 conversion and fewer amount of NH 4 HSO 4 deposition. • A feasible way to decrease the SO 2 /SO 3 conversion of V-Mo/Ti catalyst is developed. • V-Mo-P/Ti catalyst exhibits high NO x conversion and low SO 2 /SO 3 conversion. • P decreases the SO 2 absorbability and SO 2 oxidation activity of V-Mo-P/Ti catalyst.
