Disclosed in the present invention is a tail gas treatment catalyst. The catalyst consists of a carrier, a first catalyst, and a second catalyst. The first catalyst and the second catalyst are provided on both ends of the carrier. The first catalyst can purify pollutants in tail gas. The second catalyst can purify a byproduct, ammonia, obtained by the purification by the first catalyst and pollutants that are not completely purified by the first catalyst. The second catalyst is of a double-layer structure; the lower layer consists of an oxygen storage material, aluminum oxide, and a second active component; the second active component is a composition of Pt and Pd, or a composition of Ce, Fe, Ni and Cu; the upper layer consists of a molecular sieve and a third active component; the third active component is Cu or a composition of Cu and Fe. The tail gas treatment catalyst of the present invention has high purification treatment efficiency, and can significantly reduce the emissions of CH.sub.4, CO, and NO.sub.x in the tail gas, especially reduce the content of the byproduct, NH.sub.3, so that the tail gas can meet China VI emission standards.

A method for preparing an active catalyst for high-efficiency denitration is disclosed. The method includes: a catalyst raw material is charged into a denitration reactor, NH.sub.3 and an inert gas are introduced and then heating is performed, and the temperature is held and then natural cooling is performed, thereby obtaining the catalyst. The active catalyst can greatly improve the denitration activity in low temperature range, and can not only improve the denitration efficiency under the condition without SO.sub.2 and H.sub.2O, but also can improve the denitration efficiency under the condition with both SO.sub.2 and H.sub.2O. The service life of the catalyst is prolonged under the premise of not changing the existing catalyst preparation process, and the economic benefit is significant. The denitration efficiency of a powder catalyst can be increased by 25%, and the denitration efficiency of a honeycombed catalyst or a corrugated catalyst can be increased by 20%.

Disclosed herein are methods, systems, and compositions for providing catalysts for tail gas clean up in sulfur recovery operations. Aspects of the disclosure involve obtaining catalyst that was used in a first process, which is not a tailgas treating process and then using the so-obtained catalyst in a tailgas treating process. For example, the catalyst may originally be a hydroprocessing catalyst. A beneficial aspect of the disclosed methods and systems is that the re-use of spent hydroprocessing catalyst reduces hazardous waste generation by operators from spent catalyst disposal. Ultimately, this helps reduce the environmental impact of the catalyst life cycle. The disclosed methods and systems also provide an economically attractive source of high-performance catalyst for tailgas treatment, which benefits the spent catalyst generator, the catalyst provider, and the catalyst consumer.
