Boron Oxide
The boron oxide formula is B2O3. It is a hard, white and glassy crystals which is one of the oxides of boron and produced from high purity Boron acid. Boron oxide can be dissolved in acid, ethanol, hot water, and slightly dissolved in cold water. It is much slower absorb in water than the boron acid if exposed to the air and much slower soluble in water than boron acid. Boron oxide is stable ...

Tri-Mer’s UltraCat glass furnace emissions filters deliver significant advantages in terms of sorbent use, maintenance requirements, and redundancy - Case study
UltraCat Catalytic Filter systems require much less sorbent to reach a given SO2 removal than ESP. This is because the sorbent accumulates on the filter surface, creating a filter cake. All the gas must pass through this cake, adding exposure and time for sorbent chemistry to occur. This is true for any sorbent, SBC or hydrated lime. Another advantage is the built-in redundancy inherent in ...

Monitoring PM 10, PM 2.5 AND PM 1.0 emissions from industrial sources and domestic stoves
1 ABSTRACT Recent epidemiological studies have shown that fine particles in ambient air are more harmful than it was supposed to be. Therefore the latest legislation of the EC [1] includes PM 10 and PM 2.5 limit values at a low level. In Germany and in other European countries there are gaps in keeping these demanding goals. For the gap closure it is necessary to carry out research in fine ...
