Larger amounts of alkalis, alkali earth metals and sulfides in flue gas from glass furnace were easier to deactivate selective catalytic reduction （SCR） catalyst compared to the flue gases from other stationary sources. Catalyst regeneration has been an emerging research topic for flue gas denitrification in glass furnace. Regeneration of the deactivated TiO2-ZrO2-CeO2 /Al2TiO 5 -TiO2-SiO2 （ATS） complex phase ceramics catalysts used for NH3 -SCR of NO x in glass furnace was studied in this work. Effects of regeneration methods, including washing with different aqueous solutions and sulfuric acid, thermal regeneration, thermal reduction regeneration, and thermal regeneration with SO2 , on catalytic performance were comparatively investigated. In comparison of catalytic activities between the catalysts before and after regeneration, results showed that washing was the most effective regeneration method, and the sulfuric acid concentration of the washing solution was an important factor. Washing time directly affected catalyst regeneration efficiency and catalyst life. The regenerated TiO2-ZrO2 -CeO2 /ATS catalyst regained more than 90% NO conversion after being washed with 10 wt.% H2SO4 for 30 min.
The promotional effect of the interaction between titania and ceria on the catalytic performance for selective reduction of NO was studied.The catalysts,CeO 2,TiO 2,CeO 2 /TiO 2 and Ti x Ce 1-x O 2,were synthesized and tested in NH 3-Selective catalytic reduction（SCR） of NO,and the samples were characterized by the Brunaller,Emmett and Teller（BET absorbed gas N 2）,X-ray diffraction（XRD）,high resolution transmission electron microscopy（HR-TEM）,and temperature programmed desorption（TPD NH 3） techniques.The improvement mechanism of the interaction between the titania and ceria had been explored and discussed from two aspects of micro-structure and surface acidity.The interaction between the titania and ceria greatly improved the catalytic activity but had little effect on the active temperature.It was first reported that the acid amount determined the catalytic activity and the acid strength determined the active temperature for NH 3-SCR of NO.
