<p>V₂O₅–TiO₂ selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalysts represent an effective solution for reducing post-combustion nitrogen oxide (NO_x) emissions in thermal power plants. This catalyst suffers severe abrasion due to exposure to fly ash. To address this issue, three plate catalyst samples P₁ (Low wt% binder), P₂ (Intermediate wt% binder)_, and P₃ (High wt% binder) were prepared. A comprehensive analysis of their NO_x conversion efficiency, air jet abrasion rate, abrasion resistance (sand drop test), and bonding strength (plate drop test) was performed. The better-performing P₂ plate from abrasion tests was chosen for later characterization study. BET, Mercury Porosimetry, XRD, and SEM were used to investigate the morphology, composition, and surface characteristics of the catalyst. Further, the P₂ plates are stacked into a customized air jet abrasion setup where variations in velocity, flow rate, particle diameter, and duration of abrasion, depicting real case scenarios were considered for the experiment. The abrasion rate has followed the abrasion model developed by Iain Finnie. The P₂ Plate samples were chosen for the study of and its effect on De-NO_x efficiency and were calcined at different temperatures (500◦C, 600◦C and 700◦C), and their De-NO_x efficiencies at different flue gas temperatures ranging from 300&#xa0;°C—450&#xa0;°C were investigated. This increase in the temperature of flue gases had varied catalyst De-NO_x efficiencies. The De-NO_x efficiency, Specific Surface Area, and Pore Volume decrease as the wt% of the binder in the composition increases. The findings propose a protocol for comprehensive characterization of the V₂O₅–TiO₂ SCR plate catalyst.</p>
