Catalyst Ceramic Candle Filter for Combined Particulate Removal and the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of Nitrogen-Oxides

Abstract

The present invention pertains to a catalyst for use in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitrogen oxides cornprising: —a ceramic candle filter substrate and—a coating which comprises an oxidic metal carrier comprising an oxide of titanium and a catalytic metal oxide which comprises an oxide of vanadium wherein the mass ratio vanadium/titanium is 0.03 to 0.27, —wherein the mass ratio is calculated based on the mass of vanadium metal and titanium metal, and—wherein the catalyst comprises from about 1 to about 10% by weight of the catalytically active material, and—wherein the catalytic metal oxide is adsorbed onto the surface of the oxidic metal carrier.
