Abstract
The present invention relates to the catalytic processes for rendering harmless the flue gases of the power stations or more precisely to the catalysts for sulfur oxides reduction to elemental sulfur. The novel catalyst presents the binary polycations of copper and zinc or copper and manganese incorporated into the low silica faujasite X (LSX) having transition metals ratio Cu:Zn or Cu:Mn in the range of 2:1 to 4:1.
Claims4
A method for removal of sulfur oxides from a gas comprising the steps of:
- contacting the gas with a catalyst for sulfur oxides removal;
- wherein the catalyst for sulfur oxides removal comprises a low-silica faujasite LSX with the binary polycations of transition metals of IB, IIB, VIIB and VIIIB groups of the Periodic System;
- and
- wherein the low-silica faujasite is characterized the ratio of SiO2:Al2O3 oxides from about 1.8 to about 2.2 and includes binary polycations of copper and zinc from about 2:1 (mole:mole) to about 4:1 (mole:mole).
