The invention relates to a method for reducing
NOx emission in an FCC (
Fluid Catalytic Cracking) regeneration process. The method for reducing
NOx emission in an FCC regeneration process comprises the following steps of: adding a
fly ash based denitration catalyst manufactured by using
fly ash as a
raw material into an FCC regenerator, wherein the adding quantity of the catalyst is 5% of the
mass of a reactant in the FCC regenerator,
petroleum coke attached to the surface or duct of the catalyst generates the gases of
NOx, CO2, H2O, CO and SO2 in the
combustion process, NOx and reducing gas CO directly carry out a chemical in-situ reaction of the
fly ash based denitration catalyst, and the NOx is reduced into N2; while the in-situ catalytic reduction effect
on the fly ash based denitration catalyst is carried out, returning regeneration
flue gas in 20%-40% volume of the
flue gas
discharge capacity into the FCC regenerator by using an
air blower, the
flue gas returned into the FCC regenerator carries out a chemical in-situ reaction again of the fly ash based denitration catalyst, the NOx returned into the
flue gas is reduced into N2, so that low NOx emission is realized. The reducing gas is completely provided by
petroleum coke at the in-situ combination of the catalyst so that the concentration of the regeneration
flue gas NOx is decreased by 50%-80%, and simultaneously the
energy consumption can be decreased by 10%-30%.
