ZTW CeraCAT ceramic catalytic filter is a new integrated ceramic desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal process technology that replaces traditional SCR/SNCR technology. It adopts self-developed nano vanadium titanium catalyst impregnation technology, which combines the ceramic fiber filter and the nano vanadium titanium catalyst.
Firstly, it inherits the advantages of ultra-high porosity, air to cloth ratio, and ultra small nanoscale pore size of ceramic fiber filter tubes, and can achieve 99% of industrial dust and particulate matter including PM10, PM2.5, PM1, etc;
Secondly, by utilizing the gradient pore structure inside the filter tube and the synergistic effect of catalysts, combined with denitrification agents such as ammonia and urea, efficient NOx removal of over 95% -99% can be achieved at high temperatures of 250-420 ℃ (typical NOx emissions<100mg/Nm3, and even<2mg/Nm3 according to emission requirements);
Thirdly, a unique adsorbent filter cake is formed on the surface of the ceramic filter tube, and desulfurization agents such as lime powder are used in conjunction with the ceramic catalytic filter tube to efficiently remove over 95% -99% of SO2 and other acidic components (typical SO2 emissions<50mg/Nm3, and even<2mg/Nm3 according to emission requirements);
Fourthly, the nano vanadium titanium catalyst has the characteristic of removing dioxins, and can achieve over 99% removal of dioxins.
Compared with the traditional process of bag bag+desulfurization tower+SCR/SNCR, the ceramic integrated process using ceramic catalytic filter tubes can simultaneously use desulfurization, denitrification, and dust removal to remove pollutants such as dioxins in a single section, saving more than 50% of the area. Moreover, it can solve the problem of catalyst poisoning caused by high alkali metal dust. Ceramic filter tubes have corrosion resistance and wear resistance characteristics, with a service life of over 5 years, and can even reach 8-10 years under specific working conditions.
Ceramic catalytic filter is based on ceramic fiber filter impregnated with nano vanadium titanium catalyst.

Deep impregnation technology of nanoscale catalyst slurry with independent patents
Ordinary Method
- 1. Traditional process catalyst impregnation can only achieve micrometer level catalyst adhesion。
- 2. Competitor catalysts have low permeability when impregnated with slurry, but only adhere to the surface and shallow layers.
- 3. The uneven distribution of the impregnation slurry of competing catalysts affects the denitrification efficiency.

Patent technology
- 1. Nano scale catalyst slurry with an average catalyst loading of less than 0.1um
- 2. Immerse deeply for more than 6 hours and fully immerse over 100 layers of filter paper.
- 3. Dynamic impregnation ensures even distribution of catalyst load.

Characteristics of catalyst slurry
The catalyst slurry is loaded with vanadium titanium nanomaterials to form a uniform suspension. The particle size D50 of the active component is around 100nm, and its particle specific surface area is as high as 80 ㎡/g.

Ceramic Catalytic Filter FAQ
Ceramic filter, on one hand, if the strength is insufficient, can lead to tube breakage, punctures, and other failures, directly affecting dust removal efficiency. On the other hand, if a large amount of binder is used or reinforcement is added to forcibly increase the strength, it will affect the porosity and gas-to-liquid ratio, impact the pore size, and directly affect dust removal efficiency, while also increasing the resistance of gas passing through the tube body. Increased resistance will not only increase power consumption but also cause the tube's full pressure difference to become larger, similarly leading to tube breakage and punctures. Powfrax® ceramic fiber filter tubes use a unique centrifugal internal mold forming process, stacking up to 100 layers of high-filter fiber filter layers, with special emphasis on strengthening key areas, offering the dual advantages of high strength and low resistance.
Flange crushing or breaking - Low flange strength
Holes in ceramic filter - Reverse blowing pressure or uneven wall thickness, poor inner wall strength
Breakage occurs 30-60cm from flange - Process defect causing low strength of ceramic filter tube 30-60cm in length
Large deviation in inner wall thickness - Process defect causing
1) From the perspective of the denitrification mechanism of SCR plate catalysts, the vanadium titanium (V-Ti) component of the SCR plate catalyst comes into direct contact with smoke, pollutants SO2, HF, NOx components, and ammonia from the decomposition of reducing agent urea and urea impurities. Therefore, the SCR plate catalyst is highly prone to deactivation or poisoning.
2) From the perspective of the detachment mechanism of ceramic catalytic tubes, the first step is to efficiently purify smoke, acidic components, and urea impurities. At the same time, before using ceramic filter tubes, it is necessary to pre coat the surface of the ceramic filter tube with calcium hydroxide powder as a protective layer. The protective layer has good adsorption and will not fall off during operation, which will effectively protect the surface layer of the ceramic filter tube and will not cause wear or tear on the surface of the filter tube. In other words, urea impurities will not have direct contact with the surface of the ceramic catalytic tube. Even if there is contact, it may only reduce the activity of the 0.5mm catalyst on the surface layer of the ceramic filter tube or cause poisoning of the surface catalyst, but it will not cause deactivation or poisoning of the deep catalyst in the ceramic tube.
1) If the flue gas temperature is lower than 220 ℃ and the sulfide SOx is higher than 50mg/Nm ³ during long-term operation, the catalyst in the ceramic catalytic tube will reduce its activity or desorption efficiency to below 70%.
2) Its characteristic is a decrease in denitrification efficiency. Even with the addition of reducing agent urea, its denitrification efficiency cannot be increased. The solution is to activate and regenerate the independent reaction vessel chamber at high temperature, with a temperature higher than 350 ℃ and a continuous high temperature of more than 24 hours.
Method for reducing filter activity: When the flue gas temperature is above 290 ℃, a handheld flue gas analyzer is used to detect the NOx concentration at the outlet of the purification chamber of the reaction kettle. At the same time, the original NOx concentration of the flue gas in front of the reaction kettle should also be detected. By comparing the NOx concentration in the purification chamber with the original concentration, the stripping efficiency is calculated to determine whether the ceramic tube catalyst is deactivated.
2) Factors affecting lifespan——
A、 Reasonable blowback pressure to avoid significant wear on the 300mm inner wall area of the ceramic pipe flange caused by high-pressure blowback.
B、 Ceramic tube fiber sheet sealing gaskets need to be replaced once every 1-2 years. For gaskets with corrosion or poor sealing, they need to be replaced in a timely manner, otherwise it may cause damage to the filter tube or reduce its service life.
C、 The purification indicators of fluoride and boride in the main flue gas must be below 20mg/Nm ³.
D、 Avoid long-term operation at temperatures below 220 ℃ and avoid frequent high temperature regeneration and activation of the catalyst.
1) Analyzing the distribution of vanadium and titanium components in ceramic tube nanocatalysts through electron microscopy and energy spectrum analysis, is there a serious problem of sintering or nanoparticle aggregation?
2) Analyzing the serious migration problem of vanadium V nanoparticles in ceramic tube catalysts? Is there a significant deviation in the atomic V/Ti percentage ratio for analysis (refer to the standard range of 0.16-0.28)? Determine whether there is a significant migration of V component (such as less than 0.06).
