This patent describes technology for generating ammonia from urea. The method is based on the hydrolysis of an aqueous solution of urea and/or biuret by heating under pressure to form a mixture of ammonia, carbon dioxide and water. The gas mixtures produced are useful for supplying ammonia at controlled pressure and rate of flow for many industrial applications without the risks and hazards associated with the transportation and on-site storage of ammonia, thereby providing a significant safety advantage over present industrial practice.
摘要:
The present invention includes methods and apparatus useful in the removal of air pollutants. More specifically, this invention relates to methods and apparatus useful in mitigating major air pollutants (SOx and NOx) and trace toxins from coal-fired combustors. Using a method or apparatus of the present invention, a coal-fired combustor may be retrofitted to accommodate combined SOx/NOx removal technology for solid waste reduction and environmentally responsible utilization of dry flue gas (FGD) desulfurization product. The combined SOx/NOx control technology may integrate enhanced removal of SO2 at high to medium temperatures using a desulfurization process of the present invention with selective catalytic reduction technology for NOx. The reactivation of spent sorbent and dry FGD product may result in a more complete utilization of the ash and sorbent in the reduction of SO2 emissions, thereby reducing significantly the amount of sorbent used and the volume of by-product generated. Modifications to a power plant may result in significant changes to the waste stream. Based upon the process for dry FGD product reactivation to achieve enhanced SO2 removal and SCR for NOx removal, it may be possible to remove both sulfur and nitrogen oxides from high sulfur coal. The process is modular in nature (different components of the process can be by-passed as and when the need arises) and thus may have great flexibility and be applicable to various operating conditions.
摘要:
A method for reducing emissions of oxides of nitrogen from a combustion process using a temperature sensitive liquid reagent injected into a stream of exhaust gases from the combustion process and passing the exhaust gases and the reagent through a catalytic reactor which reduces the oxides of nitrogen in the presence of the reagent is disclosed. The steps of the method include providing an injector having an orifice for atomizing the liquid reagent; positioning a portion of the injector having the orifice within the stream of exhaust gases; cooling the injector by continuously circulating the reagent therethrough, thereby keeping both the injector and the reagent within the injector below a critical temperature at which the reagent will solidify; and injecting a portion of the reagent into the exhaust stream upstream of the reactor.

摘要:
Hydrocarbon co-reductants, such as diesel fuel, are added by pulsed injection to internal combustion engine exhaust to reduce exhaust NOx to N2 in the presence of a catalyst. Exhaust NOx reduction of at least 50% in the emissions is achieved with the addition of less than 5% fuel as a source of the hydrocarbon co-reductants. By means of pulsing the hydrocarbon flow, the amount of pulsed hydrocarbon vapor (itself a pollutant) can be minimized relative to the amount of NOx species removed.
摘要:
A process for reducing the level of nitrogen oxides (NO.sub.x) in a fossil fuel (e.g. coal) combustion flue gas has a selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) treatment stage followed by a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) treatment stage. The level of NO.sub.x produced by a power plant, particularly a coal fired power plant, varies depending upon the plant load. A set predetermined non-zero amount of first nitrogenous treatment agent is constantly introduced for the SNCR stage during all periods of plant operation. Additional first nitrogenous treatment agent is introduced for the SNCR stage only during periods of relatively higher NO.sub.x production, such as during peak load periods. A second nitrogenous treatment agent is added for the SCR stage up to the maximum SCR NO.sub.x reducing capability of the SCR stage based upon the total amount of NO.sub.x present in the flue gas, subject to limitations on the amount of allowable ammonia slip exiting the plant. Once the total amount of NO.sub.x in the flue gas surpasses a level which the SCR stage can effectively treat, additional first nitrogenous treatment agent is added to the SNCR stage. The amount of additional first nitrogenous treatment agent added is incrementally raised as the NO.sub.x level increases. During relatively lower NO.sub.x producing periods when the set non-zero amount of SNCR plus the SCR stage alone are effectively capable of reducing the level of NO.sub.x to the desired level without surpassing ammonia slip limits, no additional treatment agent is added for the SNCR stage.
摘要:
A method for metering a reagent into a flowing medium includes adjusting a quantity of a reagent to be metered per unit of time into a flowing medium as a function of a thickness of a reaction zone in a catalytically active material. An apparatus for metering a reagent into a flowing medium includes a control unit, a device associated with the control unit for detecting a thickness of a reaction zone, and a metering device associated with the control unit for introducing a reagent into a flowing medium upstream of a catalytic converter as seen in flow direction of the medium. The control unit adjusts a quantity of the reagent to be metered into the flowing medium per unit of time by the metering device, as a function of a thickness of the reaction zone.
摘要:
Oxides of nitrogen (NO.sub.x) emissions from an FCC regenerator are reduced by operating the regenerator in partial CO burn mode to produce flue gas with more CO than O.sub.2 and with NO.sub.x precursors. This flue gas is then enriched with controlled amounts of oxygen and charged over catalyst, preferably Group VIII noble metal on a support, to convert most NO.sub.x precursors to nitrogen. Flue gas may then be charged to a CO boiler. Eliminating more than 90% of NO.sub.x emissions is possible by operating the FCC regenerator in partial CO burn mode, then adding air and catalytically converting NO.sub.x precursors at substoichiometric conditions. Conversion of NO.sub.x, if formed in the regenerator, may be achieved as well.
