Conversion of Dagang Vacuum Residue into Oxygen-Containing Organic Compounds by Photo-Oxidation withH2O2overTiO2

Catalytic Oxidation of Volatile Organic Compounds and Malodorous Organic Compounds

This thesis describes efforts made on the development of an existing catalytic incinerator. The development work, called process characterization, consists of four general parts. These are the development of measurement methodology, the studying of construction materials, the selection of suitable catalysts and the testing of the effects of process operation conditions. The two application area...

Peroxynitric Acid: A Convenient Oxygen Source for Oxidation of Organic Compounds Catalyzed by Polyimide-Supported Manganese (III) Tetrakis(4-methoxylphenyl)porphyrin Acetate

In this work, a polyimide (PI) containing triazole units was synthesized using 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole and pyromellitic dianhydride in N-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone. This polymer was used as the support of manganese (III) tetrakis(4-methoxylphenyl)porphyrin acetate to attain a heterogeneous catalyst; namely Mn(T4-OMePP)OAc@PI. The synthesized PI and Mn(T4-OMePP)OAc@PI were characterized by di...

Destruction of Volatile Organic Compounds by Catalytic Oxidation

Volatile organic compounds, emitted by a lot of sources, particularly from gasoline engines of automobiles, are air pollutants that give rise to deleterious health and environmental effects. Total catalytic oxidation is an attractive method in controlling these emissions due the great amounts of energy saved, by the moderate temperature involved. For wide implementation of catalytic combustion,...

Microwave plasma conversion of volatile organic compounds.

A microwave-induced, steam/Ar/O2, plasma "torch" was operated at atmospheric pressure to determine the feasibility of destroying volatile organic compounds (VOCs) of concern. The plasma process can be coupled with adsorbent technology by providing steam as the fluid carrier for desorbing the VOCs from an adsorbent. Hence, N2 can be excluded by using a relatively inexpensive carrier gas, and the...
