“…9,10 Long-term operation at high temperatures can easily cause clogging and sintering of vanadium and titanium SCR catalysts, thus severely wearing the catalyst surface and further degrading the catalyst strength. 11 Regeneration techniques for deactivated SCR catalysts include water-wash regeneration, 12,13 thermal reduction regeneration, 14,15 acid (alkali)-wash regeneration, 12,16 and compound regeneration. 5,17,18 Regeneration is also subject to ultrasonic cleaning, which leads to wear and tear of the catalyst surface and a reduction in the compressive strength, thereby affecting the performance of the regenerated SCR catalyst.…”
