The trend towards more severe emission regulations has motivated in the last decades scientific and technical efforts in the removal of NOx from flue gases of stationary sources. This review surveys the present status and recent advances in the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) of NOx by NH3 in stationary applications, but also includes the most recent developments on the key-issues of the dynamics of the reaction, which are relevant for nonstationary (mobile) applications as well. Catalytic, mechanistic, kinetic, reactor and process aspects of the SCR reaction are illustrated. An account is also given of the SCONOx process, that has been recently proposed as the lowest achievable emission rate (LAER) technology for NOx removal in stationary applications.
