Selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide over copper oxide and cerium oxide catalysts

The selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide with hydrocarbons in an oxygen-containing simulated flue gas has been investigated for a series of copper oxide and cerium oxide alumina supported catalysts at 600–775 K. The activity of these catalysts for the reduction of NO by methane or propane has been investigated in simulated flue gas. The effects of sulphates on the catalyst, and of water ...

The selective catalytic reduction of NO with propane over Ni loaded on H-USY in the presence of excess oxygen

The abatement of NO with propane in the presence of excess oxygen has been investigated on several kinds of commercial USY (Ultra Stable Y zeolite) in the Na-form (Na-USY) and H-form (H-USY) or wet impregnated to various extents with Ni ions (Ni/USY) catalysts. Experimental results indicated that Ni/H-USY loaded with 15% Ni showed comparatively better catalytic activity for Selective Catalytic ...

Catalytic reduction of nitrate in secondary effluent of wastewater treatment plants by Fe0 and Pd–Cu/γ–Al2O3

Total nitrogen, in which NO3− is dominant in the effluent of most wastewater treatment plants, cannot meet the requirements of the Chinese wastewater discharge standard (<15 mg/L), making nitrate (NO3−) elimination attract considerable attention. In this study, reductant iron (Fe0) and γ–Al2O3 supported palladium–copper bimetallic ...

Influence of precursors on the catalytic activity of alumina for bio-ethanol dehydration in microchannel reactors

In this paper, the catalytic activity of alumina for bio-ethanol dehydration was studied in a microchannel reactor. Five catalysts were prepared from precursors with different ratios of AlOOH (pseudo boehmite) and Al(OH)3 (bayerite). The physicochemical properties of catalysts were characterised by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Temperature Programmed Desorption (TPD). The influence of reaction ...

NOx in Non-Utility Industries - Part II - Control options and monitoring methodology

This the second in a two-part series. Part I, which appeared in our June 2001 issue focuses on air emission origins of nitrogen oxides (NOx) in non-utility industries. Choice of the NOx control technology is dependent on many factors, including regulatory requirements, technical feasibility, cost and public perception. Figure 1, compiled based on publications [1-5], presents a summary of ...

Reaching Euro VI emissions limits

The requirements of low and lowest detectable exhaust analysis has prompted Eco Physics to launch a broad range of analyzers for NO/NOx detection. Emissions tuning is one of the targets of the EURO VI regulations as well as US EPA 2010, which are: Reduction of Particulate Matter (PM) and reduction of Nitrogen Oxides (NOx). In the past 15 years – since the first European regulation for exhaust ...

Case study: Formaldehyde production

Overiew A major chemical manufacturer required a pollution control system with minimal operational cost to destroy the Hazardous Air Pollutant (HAP) by-products of a formaldehyde production process. A key issue was system reliability; the plant operates 24 hours a day and only shuts down once per year for plant-wide preventive maintenance. ...
