摘要:
A method of at least periodically removing from a lean gaseous stream a sorbable component such as SO.sub.x includes passing the gaseous stream through a trap member having an oxidation catalyst combined with a sorbent material at a temperature within the sorbing temperature range of the sorbent material. The sorbed component is periodically removed by introducing a combustible component into the gaseous stream and oxidizing it on the trap member to thermally desorb the sorbed component. The amount of combustible component introduced is limited to maintain the gaseous stream composition lean, but is sufficient to increase the surface temperature of at least part of the trap member to above the bulk temperature of the gaseous stream. Sorbing and desorbing periods are alternated and a composition and an apparatus to carry out the process is provided.
摘要:
A composition for abatement of airborne pollution by volatile organic compounds (“VOCs”) has an upstream composition which contains a protective adsorbent, e.g., Y zeolite, which is effective for adsorbing large VOC molecules, e.g., toluene, and a protective oxidation catalyst intimately intermingled therewith. The downstream composition contains a second adsorbent, e.g., a silver-containing ZSM-5, which is effective for adsorbing relatively smaller VOC molecules, e.g., propylene, and a second oxidation catalyst intimately intermingled therewith. Oxidation of VOCs while they are still retained on the adsorbents is promoted at temperatures lower than would be required if the VOCs were desorbed into the gaseous phase. Apparatus is provided including a first contact member (24) coated with the upstream composition and positioned upstream of a second contact member (32) coated with the downstream composition. A heat exchanger (22) equipped with a temperature control device (40) is positioned upstream of both contact members to vary the treatment temperature between an adsorption temperature range and a higher, oxidation temperature range, both lying within an operating temperature range of from about 20 to 500° C.
摘要:
A catalyzed hydrocarbon trap material washcoat (20) used in a trap (10), which may be placed downstream of a conventional catalyst member (28), is useful for treating internal combustion engine (22) exhaust. Trap (10) traps hydrocarbons during cold operation periods and releases them for oxidation during higher-temperature operating periods. The material comprises palladium and silver dispersed on a high surface area metal oxide support and a zeolite material such as one or more of ZSM-5, Beta, Y, and other suitable zeolites. The trap material is efficiently made by combining in a single vessel the zeolite, the metal oxide support, and aqueous solutions of a palladium compound and a silver compound. Surprisingly, the intimate combination of silver with the palladium does not adversely affect catalytic efficiency of the palladium and provides advantageous results in enhancing catalytic oxidation of hydrocarbons desorbed from the trap (10) and coke which forms thereon.

A method for reduction of NOx in a lean gaseous stream includes passing the gaseous stream at a temperature within the NOx sorbing temperature range through a catalyzed trap member having an oxidation catalyst intimately combined with a sorbent material. The sorbed NOx is periodically removed by introducing a combustible component into the gaseous stream and oxidizing it on the trap member to thermally desorb the NOx. The amount of combustible component introduced is limited to maintain the gaseous stream bulk composition lean and to avoid increasing the bulk temperature of the gaseous stream to a temperature which is too high for effective lean NOx abatement treatment. A suitable NOx abatement catalyst is used to reduce the desorbed NOx. Sorbing (trapping) and desorbing periods are alternated, usually in response to the temperature of the gaseous stream, and an apparatus to carry out the process is provided.
摘要:
A NO.sub.x abatement composition comprises a NO.sub.x abatement catalyst and a NO.sub.x sorbent material which are dispersed in proximity to, but segregated from, each other on a common refractory carrier member (10). The NO.sub.x sorbent material comprises a basic oxygenated metal compound and optionally further comprises ceria. The NO.sub.x abatement catalyst contains a catalytic metal component including a platinum metal catalytic component. The catalytic metal component is segregated from the NO.sub.x sorbent material, which may be one or more of metal oxides, metal carbonates, metal hydroxides and mixed metal oxides. At least the catalytic metal component and the NO.sub.x sorbent material must be on, or comprise separate, particles; the particles may either be admixed or may be disposed in separate layers (20a, 20b) on the carrier member (10). A NO.sub.x abatement method employs the composition and includes periodically adjusting the gas being treated between lean and stoichiometric/rich operating cycles.
摘要:
A method for reducing gaseous nitrogen oxides present in a gas stream by reaction with a reductant species is practiced by flowing the gas stream under lean NO.sub.X -reducing conditions in contact with a catalytic material containing a catalytically effective amount of a catalytic species, e.g., a platinum group metal, and a reductant storage material, e.g., a zeolite, effective for storing reductant species for reaction with NO.sub.X, and providing an intermittent supply of the reductant to the gas stream. The catalytic material may be prepared in any manner, but one method is to incorporate a catalytically effective amount of the platinum into a template-bearing molecular sieve material, preferably ZSM-5 zeolite, to hinder the platinum from being incorporated into the pores of the molecular sieve material, and then calcining the molecular sieve material, whereby the template is removed from the molecular sieve material after the platinum is incorporated therein. Another method is to add a blocking agent to the molecular sieve material, then incorporate the platinum therein, and then calcine the material to remove the blocking agent. The catalytic material may contain less than about two percent by weight of zeolite plus platinum, e.g., less than about 0.5%, or from about 0.025% to 0.1% or 0.2% platinum.
摘要:
A catalytic material useful for the abatement of NO.sub.x in a lean environment containing a zeolite material having incorporated therein copper, cobalt and iron as catalytically active species. The catalytically active metals are preferably incorporated into the zeolite by ion exchange and precipitation. The catalytic material may typically contain from about 2.0 to about 8.0 percent copper, from about 1.0 to about 4.0 percent iron and from about 0.25 to about 4.0 percent cobalt by weight of the catalytic material, i.e., by weight of the zeolite material plus the catalytic metals incorporated therein. Optionally, the catalytic material may be admixed with a binder and applied as an adherent coating onto a carrier to be placed in a gas stream containing the nitrogen oxides.

摘要:
A hydrocarbon gas such as methane and LPG is desulfurized in the presence of oxygen and an oxidation catalyst to convert sulfur compounds in the gas to sulfur oxides. The sulfur oxides are then trapped downstream of the oxidation by an adsorbent. The amount of oxygen added to the hydrocarbon gas to promote oxidation is such that the sulfur compounds are selectively oxidized and the oxidation of the hydrocarbon gas is minimized to reduce hydrogen formation.
