Abstract:
This invention relates to a technique for removing nitrogen oxides (NOx) present in exhaust gases discharged from boilers and the like. When the temperature of the exhaust gas is 100° C. or below, a heat-treated active carbon produced by heat-treating a raw active carbon at 600 to 1,200° C. in a non-oxidizing atmosphere so as to remove oxygen-containing functional groups present at the surfaces thereof and thereby reduce the atomic surface oxygen/surface carbon ratio to 0.05 or less is preferably used. When the temperature of the exhaust gas exceeds 100° C., a heat-treated active carbon produced by heat-treating a raw active carbon at 600. to 1,200° C. in a non-oxidizing atmosphere and activating the surfaces thereof with sulfuric acid or nitric acid to impart oxidizing oxygen-containing functional groups thereto is preferably used.

A device to eliminate particulates contained in exhaust gas ejected from motors, such as diesel engines for ships, surface transportation vehicles and overland fixed diesel engines, and a process to eliminate particulates contained in the exhaust gas are provided. The device of the present invention is a device for eliminating particulates contained in exhaust gas 10 ejected from diesel engines constituted by a discoid-shaped filter 11 used as a capturing means to capture the particulates and sprayers 13 having a plurality of nozzles 13a, such as spray type and shower type, used as a catalyst attaching means to attach an alkaline metal catalyst solution 12 onto the surface of the captured particulates in the discoid-shaped filter 11, and the device attaches the catalyst onto the surface of the captured particulates, and then burns and decomposes the unburned particulates portion in the exhaust gas.
Abstract:
Included are a nano-carbon material production unit for producing a nano-carbon material using a fluidized catalyst formed by granulating a carrier supporting an active component, an acid treatment unit for dissolving and separating a catalyst by an acid solution by feeding a catalyst-containing nano-carbon material into the acid solution, and a pH adjustment unit, which is an anti-agglomeration treatment unit, provided on a downstream side of the acid treatment unit, for performing an anti-agglomeration treatment to prevent agglomeration among nano-carbons due to repulsion caused by dissociation among oxygen-containing functional groups added to the nano-carbon material.
Abstract:
In an exhaust gas treatment system including a denitration device that removes nitrogen oxide in exhaust gas from a heavy fuel-fired boiler, an air preheater that recovers heat in the gas after the nitrogen oxide is removed, an electric precipitator that removes dust while adding ammonia into the gas after heat recovery, a desulfurization device that removes sulfur oxide in the gas after dust removal, and a stack that exhausts the gas after desulfurization to the outside, an ash-shear-force measuring instrument is provided to measure an ash shear force, which is ash flowability, on the downstream side of the electric precipitator, so that a feed rate of an air supply unit that supplies air to the boiler is reduced according to ash shear-force information.
Abstract:
An active carbon for use in the treatment of exhaust gas can be obtained by heat-treating a starting active carbon fiber derived from polyacrylonitrile, pitch or the like or a starting particulate active carbon in a non-oxidizing atmosphere. The heat-treating temperature is preferably in the range of 600 to 1,200 ° C. for use in the desulfurization of exhaust gas, and in range of 600 to 1,000° C. for use in the denitration of exhaust gas. By using the resulting heat-treated active carbon for the purpose of desulfurization, the sulfur oxide concentration in exhaust gas can be reduced to 5 ppm or below. Moreover, by using the heat-treated active carbon in combination with conventional denitration based on selective catalytic reduction, the nitrogen oxide concentration in exhaust gas can be reduced to 1 ppm or below.
Abstract:
CaS oxidation has CaS particles oxidized into CaSO4 completely as far as to the interior of the particle. The interior of an oxidation apparatus 1 is partially partitioned by a partition 22 to thereby form a first fluidized bed 20 on the inner side, a second fluidized bed 21 on the outer side and a space portion 23 thereabove. A heat exchanger 27 having a baffle plate is disposed on the inner side of the partition 22 and an in-bed heat exchanger 33 is disposed on the outer side of same. A desulfurizing product-containing fine powder 204 and coarse powder 205 and a mixture gas 206 of nitrogen, oxygen and steam are supplied into the second fluidized bed 21. Also, coal 200 and coal char 201 are supplied into the first fluidized bed 20 from below. Of the particles 304 oxidized in the second fluidized bed 21 and supplied into the first fluidized bed 20 from below with the flow of a mixture gas 208, the fine powder entrains into the space portion 23 as entrained particles 300 and a major part thereof falls down into the second fluidized bed 21 as particles 207. The completely oxidized particles are discharged as discharged ash 303 and entrained ash 302.
