Operating Principle of an Oxygen Monitor
The oxygen concentration in the flue gas of a combustion process such as that of a power plant or a waste incinerator gives a good indication of the efficiency of the combustion process. The parameter is therefore of great interest to optimize fuel economy, but also to control and reduce emissions of air pollutants. An ideal combustion process only results in CO2 and water, but if the air ...

Wet scrubbers monitor flue gas emissions in a combustion system
Wet scrubbers are considered to be air treatment devices to take away gaseous particulate pollutants (NOx, SOx or other gases produced by combustion systems) that negatively affect the environment. According to air pollution control measures, it is required to take away these particulates in order to protect the receptors from the serious impacts of these gases on the health of humans and ...

Capture of carbon dioxide from flue gas using solid regenerable sorbents
Carbon dioxide emissions from the combustion of fossil fuels are a significant factor in global climate change. Large stationary sources such as coal-fired electric generating plants are likely to be the most cost-effective targets for carbon dioxide capture. At present, liquid amine-based scrubbing systems are the only processes available for this application. Processes based on regenerable ...

Continuous Emissions Monitoring of Total Mercury
Over the past decades, mercury (Hg, quicksilver) has gone from being a versatile commodity used in everything from thermometers to herbicides, to a partially banned substance, which name alone signals environmental issues and health concerns. Today, much use of mercury has been phased out in favour of more environmental- and health-friendly substances, and the remaining circulation of mercury is ...

Characterising Carbon Conversion Catalysts with Bench-top Mass Spectrometers
A carbon conversion catalyst accelerates the chemical reactions that transform carbon dioxide (CO2) into valuable outputs like fuels and chemicals. While CO2 conversion typically demands significant energy, catalysts enhance the speed and specificity of this process. These versatile catalysts find applications in thermochemical, electrochemical, and photocatalytic reactions. Materials like ...

Assessment of some organic pollutants from combustion processes. Preliminary results of laboratory and field tests
Abstract Italian Law on emission limitation and control requires 54 organic compounds to be determined in the flue gases of industrial combustion plants. These compounds show very different chemical and physical characteristics (e.g. volatility, stability, reactivity with water …). Some of these compounds (i.e. PAH, PCDD/PCDF, VOC) are commonly monitored in emissions of Large Combustion ...

Dispersed Phase Inertisation (DPI): A New Technology for the Treatment of Landfill Leachate and Complex Water
Inertisation is thus far the only technology for the conversion of leachate and contaminated water into an inert product, thereby facilitating handling and disposal in MSW landfills. Introduction One of the most complex aspects of the global management of an MSW landfill or treatment plant is leachate. This liquid comes mainly from the degradation of organic matter, added to other liquids ...

6 Tips for Reducing NOx Emissions
Many industrial processes utilize the combustion of natural gas, oil, or coal. However, the combustion of these fossil fuels produces nitrogen oxide or NOx, which contributes to smog and air pollution. Finding an effective and efficient solution for emissions can be frustrating and time consuming. In addition, federal regulations and energy standards can change, impacting your operational ...
