Selective Catalytic Reduction
(SCR) by NH3 in a Fixed-Bed
Reactor
HEE JE SEONG
The Department of Energy and
Geo-Environmental Engineering
The Pennsylvania State University
Introduction
 NOx emissions are a major pollutant from engines,
incinerators and power plants
- unavoidable at conditions where air is involved at
high combusting temperature
 Selective catalytic reduction with NH3 has been
successfully used to remove NOx
4NO + 4NH3 + O2  4N2 + 6H2O
 Kinetic parameters depend much on a catalyst
- V2O5-WO3/TiO2, CuHM and etc
Governing Equations
 Mass equation
- Convection and diffusion
where R : -rNO, -rNH3
 Momentum equation
- Navier-Stokes equation
(Brinkman eqn. involved)
 Energy equation
- Assumed as an isothermal state due to a small
amount of heat evolved
Boundary Conditions
 Inlet
- Velocity : 1, 2, 4m/s
- CNO = 8.16x10-3mol/m3
CNH3 = 8.16x10-3mol/m3
CNH3 = 6.94x10-3mol/m3
CNH3 = 9.38x10-3mol/m3
- Pin : 1.01325x105Pa
 Outlet
- P : Pin – ΔP (according
to Ergun eqn.)

Formulation
 Mass conservation
- Convection and diffusion
- Chemical reaction
ENO : Enthalpy of NO reduction
ENH3 : Enthalpy of NH3 oxidation
HNH3 : Heat of NH3 adsorption
kNO : Reaction rate constant of NO reduction
kNH3 : Reaction rate constant of NH3 oxidation
KNH3 : Adsorption equilibrium constant for NH3
Formulation
 Air is assumed as the
fluid flowing through the
reactor
- small amounts of NO and
NH3
- ρ and η are temperature-
dependent
- pressure drop is
calculated using Ergun
eqn.
- Permeability is calculated using Darcy’s law
y = 3.49E+02x-1.00E+00
y = 9.66E-10x1.70E+00

wet condition
- Conversion of NO is higher at a dry condition than at a wet condition
due to the competition between H2O and NH3
-This COMSOL model also reflects a general phenomenon of SCR
when water is involved in the reaction
Conclusion
 SCR model using COMSOL well describes
a general trend of NO removal performance
- Valid result compared to the reference
- Water effect is predictable
 The model also indicates that NH3/NO
should be controlled considering NH3 slip
and performance at operating temperatures

  • 11. Conclusion  SCR model using COMSOL well describes a general trend of NO removal performance - Valid result compared to the reference - Water effect is predictable  The model also indicates that NH3/NO should be controlled considering NH3 slip and performance at operating temperatures
