Abstract
A major issue when using selective catalytic reduction (SCR) De-NO x catalysts is the risk of physical deactivation due to particle deposition and plugging of the monolithic catalysts. In the present study, numerical computations were carried out to investigate the particle deposition behaviors in monolithic SCR catalysts. Based on the calculation results, the effects of particle diameter, particle density, gas velocity, turbulent intensity, chemical reaction and channel size on particle deposition were analyzed in detail. Increasing gas velocity and equivalent diameter of channel can mitigate particle deposition. The increases of turbulent intensity and channel length both lead to the rise of particle deposition ratio. For particles with high Stokes number, particle deposition mainly takes place in the inlet section of catalysts. For particles with low Stokes number, sediment can be observed in the middle and outlet sections of catalysts. De-NO x chemical reaction can mitigate particle deposition, but the effect of chemical reaction on particle deposition is inactive.
