This analysis relates catalyst material composition and bimodal pore size characteristics in a direct, quantitative way to the reactivities for simultaneous NO reduction, Hg0 oxidation, and SO3 production along utility selective catalytic reduction (SCR) reactors. SCR monoliths sustain two chemically distinct regions. In the inlet region, strong NH3 adsorption minimizes the coverage of chlorinated and sulfated surface sites, so NO reduction inhibits Hg0 and SO2 oxidation. Once the NH3 has been consumed, however, the chlorinated surface coverage surges by orders of magnitude, and the Hg0 oxidation rate rapidly increases, even while the HCl concentration in the gas phase remains uniform. Ammonia inhibition also eliminates the benefit of the rapid film mass transfer at the SCR inlet from promoting Hg0 oxidation. In many cases, the Hg0 oxidation rate becomes limited by film transport soon after the Hg0 begins to oxidize, so that none of the catalyst internal surface area is utilized. Shifting the pore size di...
