Summary:The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technique has been mainly developed by Japanese industry for the reduction of NO sub(x) concentrations in the flue gases of power plants. In this report we emphasize some aspects of the SCR process: a) the chemical and physico chemical properties of the catalyst; b) the chemical engineering design of the catalyst volume; c) the deterioration of catalytic activity with time; and d) the effect of NH sub(3) slip (caused by catalyst deterioration or inhomogeneous NH sub(3) distribution) and of side reactions. The basis of the SCR technique is described first, and then each of the above areas is discussed.
