Abstract

A process for calcining a sulfate-containing denitrating catalyst to reduce the sulfate content therein is provided. A plurality of catalyst units are arranged on a reticulating belt in a calcining furnace. The reticulate belt is continuously moving within the furnace. Fresh hot air is passed through the denitrating catalyst units in a first direction and then in a second direction. By controlling the rate of hot air flow, the content of sulfate group in the denitrating catalyst is reduced to about 4-7% by weight.
