Research on Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) in Cement Kiln

Abstract:

The efficiency and problem of SNCR in cement are explained by case study .Catalyst also is discussed by the research. And this paper presents and discusses the technical feasibility issues related to implementing SCR technology at cement plant. Some pilot plant trial and scale-full plant are also discussed and the result show that SCR can reduce NOx emissions from cement kilns by greater than 90% and achieve less than 100 mg/Nm3 NOx emissions. The fact suggests that it is a more effective and proven technology to reduce nitrogen oxide emissions from cement kilns.
