SCR (Selective Catalytic Reduction) catalyst is the core component of the exhaust denitration system. It enables selective reaction between ammonia and nitrogen oxides at a suitable temperature, converting harmful NOₓ into harmless nitrogen and water vapor.
Reaction equation:
CO(NH2)2 + H2O → 2NH3 + CO2
8NH3 + 6NO2 → 7N2 + 12H2O
4NH3 + 4NO + O2 → 4N2+6H2O
2NH3 + NO + NO2 → 2N2+3H2O
