Abstract

Here is provided an adsorbent for adsorbing and removing an arsenic compound which becomes a catalyst poison in a selective contact reduction process for removing nitrogen oxides (NOx) from a combustion exhaust gas by the use of an ammonia as a reducing agent and a denitrating catalyst. The adsorbent of the present invention comprises a material in which the total volume of pores is 0.2 to 0.7 cc/g and the volume of the pores having a pore diameter of 300 .ANG. or more is 10% or more with respect to the total pore volume, and the material is a specific element, its oxide, an ion-exchanged zeolite or the like. In addition, the present invention is directed to a method for removing the arsenic compound from the combustion exhaust gas by injecting the adsorbent into the flow of the gas on the upstream side of the denitrating catalyst.
