Systems and methods directed at removing HCN from an FCC process flue gas (and/or generated in the catalyst system reactions themselves) such that the final HCN output is satisfactory; while, in so doing, avoiding undesirable levels of other pollutants contained in that exhaust gas such as NOx. A system includes an assembly having a fluid catalytic cracking (FCC) unit generating a flue gas with HCN and NOx and a catalyst device placed in the flue gas line to remove HCN and NOx. The catalyst device having one or more SCR catalytic articles, as in one free of platinum group metal material (PGM) or a dual functioning SCR catalyst with PGM, or a combination of each. The assembly can be provided with an ammonia supplier and optionally an H2O supplier with associated injection for supply into the flue gas upstream of a catalytic article(s).

Catalytic system and method for the removal of HCN from off-gases of a fluid cracking unit using same, and FCC unit assembly including the catalytic system

The invention proposes a method for the purification of exhaust gases which are generated by a diesel engine with a charging turbine, and a special device for carrying out said method. The device comprises, in the flow direction of the exhaust gas, a dosing device for a reducing agent from a reducing agent reservoir (), an SCR catalytic converter (), an oxidation catalytic converter () and a diesel particle filter (). The system is particularly suitable for the purification of the exhaust gases of diesel vehicles in which engines with a turbocharger (charging turbine ()) and an exhaust-gas recirculation device are used, which engines generate exhaust gases which, in addition to carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and particles, have nitrogen oxides with an NO/NOratio of between 0.3 and 0.7.
