摘要:
Apparatus and a method are disclosed for reducing sulfate contained within a flowable material to hydrogen sulfide by the use of two stages of reaction. The flowable material is deoxygenated and then introduced into a first reactor which contains a sulfate reducing bacteria such as a Desulfovibrio or Desulfotomoculum. Hydrogen sulfide is removed from the first reactor and the remaining portion of the flowable material is subjected to a separating action to produce a supernatant component and a sludge component. The sludge component is reintroduced to the first reactor which is generally devoid of packing or support and the supernatant is introduced into a second reactor which is preferably in the nature of a supported film reactor. Mixed products including carbonate may be removed from the first reactor. The second reactor also contains anaerobic sulfate reducing bacteria. Hydrogen sulfide, low sulfate water and carbonates may be withdrawn from the second reactor. The hydrogen sulfide may be oxidized to produce free sulfur.

A multi-factor authentication method and system is provided such that a push notification during an authentication process is only received if a mobile device and user are authenticated prior to receiving the push notification. Either the mobile device itself or a second device sending the push notification may be programmed to either reject or not forward the authentication request. Additionally, using the method of the present invention, enhanced security is provided by requiring the location of the mobile device and the second device to be approximately in the same geographical location.

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:
Systems for desulfurization of a flue gas containing fly ash including formation of a dry powder in a spray dryer absorber resulting from reaction of an alkaline aqueous feed and the flue gas. The dry powder is collected and a specifically selected fraction is recycled to a feed preparation subsystem for inclusion in the aqueous feed. Selective recycle is based on physical or chemical properties and, for example, large diameter and dense particles provide enhanced reagent utilization compared to smaller and less dense particles.
摘要:
In a process for producing ammonia from urea which process comprises: (a) heating a liquid phase reaction medium comprising an aqueous solution of urea, or a mixture of urea, containing biuret or ammonium carbamate on site, in a hydrolysis reactor such that a pressurized gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide-containing product is obtained which is essentially free of urea, biuret, or ammonium carbamate; (b) separating the gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide-containing product from the liquid phase reaction medium at the prevailing pressure; (c) retaining the liquid phase reaction medium in the reactor for further conversion to gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide, and/or recycling at least a portion of the said reaction medium back into the reactor, a urea dissolver, or feed solution to the reactor for further conversion; and (d) withdrawing the gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide-containing product separated in step (b) at a controlled rate to meet varying ammonia demand requirements; the improvement wherein the operating pressure of said reactor is set or adjusted such that excess water for the reaction is maintained in the reactor and the dew-point of said gaseous ammonia and carbon-dioxide-containing product is below the operating temperature of said reactor.

摘要:
An algorithm process for treating fly ash found in flue gas to prevent rapping reentrainment of fly ash particles comprising adding ammonia to the fly ash particles in a stoichometric amount of one part or somewhat less of ammonia to one part of sulfur trioxide, such that rapping reentrainment of fly ash particles in the flue gas is prevented. An algorithm is used to determine the amount of sulfur in the flue gas.

摘要:
A process to provide a pressurized gas stream useful for removing nitrogen oxides from a combustion gas stream by hydrolyzing urea in aqueous solution in a closed reactor to evolve gaseous ammonia at a rate essentially balanced to the amount required from the combustion gas stream. The improvement resides in maintaining the pressure in the reactor within a preselected range when the demand for ammonia for external use suddenly drops by cooling the solution within the hydrolysis reactor by heat exchange either within or external to the reactor in response to rapid changes in demand for ammonia required to remove said nitrogen oxides.
