Abstract:This study investigated the potential of utilizing a granular bed catalyst/filtration reactor (used CuO/AC catalyst) for simultaneous removal of gas-solid phase pollutants (NO, SO2, and fly ash) in simulated flue gas. Results showed that the simultaneous catalytic/filtration rates of NO, SO2, and fly ash was 50%~61%, 69%~81%, and 89%~99%, respectively by granular bed catalytic/filtration reactor. In addition, results also showed increased NO conversion with the formation of CuSO4-CuO/ AC. BET and FESEM/EDS results showed that fine ash particles (about 4 μm) can obstruct and reduce the catalyst surface area and pores. Because of the erosion, the catalyst with granular bed reactor has high tolerance ability of fly ash. Therefore, the granular bed catalyst reactor has the potential to simultaneous control both gaseous and particulate impurities. Key words:simultaneous removal/ fly ash/ NO/ SO2/ granular bed filtration/catalytic reactor.
