Abstract
Different variants for abatement of N2O emission from nitric acid plants with the use of catalysts developed at Łukasiewicz-INS were analyzed. Activity tests on a pilot scale confirmed the high activity of the studied catalysts. A two-stage catalytic abatement of N2O emission in nitric acid plants was proposed: by high-temperature decomposition in the nitrous gases stream (HT-deN2O) and low-temperature decomposition in the tail gas stream (LT-deN2O). The selection of the optimal variant for abatement of N2O emission depends on the individual characteristics of the nitric acid plant: ammonia oxidation parameters, construction of ammonia oxidation reactor and temperature of the tail gas upstream of the expansion turbine. It was shown that the combination of both deN2O technologies, taking into account their technological constraints (dimensions of the catalyst bed), allows for a greater abatement of N2O emission, than the use of only one technology. This solution may be economically advantageous regarding the high prices of CO2 emission allowances.
