Mn-Ce catalysts modified by Mo were loaded on low-density porous ceramics (LDPC) for simultaneous denitrification and dust removal. The Mn-Ce-Mo catalyst LDPC had nearly 99% NOx conversion efficiency from 120 °C to 200 still maintained more than 90% when the filtration velocity reached 4 m/min. catalysts/LDPC not only exhibited excellent catalytic performance at low temperature, they also good ...

Tobacco cyst nematode (Globodera tabacum solanacearum) isolates were collected from 11 locations in Virginia, 3 in North Carolina, and 1 in Maryland. Isolates from each location were maintained and increased on flue-cured tobacco, Nicotiana tabacum cv K326. Plants of flue-cured tobacco cultivars K326 (susceptible) and NC567 (resistant) were each inoculated with 6,000 G. t. solanacearum eggs/pla...

Ideally, the flue gas resulting from high-temperature oxidation of hydrocarbons (HC) contains CO 2 , H 2 O, N 2 , O 2 and some acceptable levels of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) and oxides of sulfur (SOx). In reality, the flue gas from a combustion process contains CO 2 , H 2 O, N 2 , O 2 and some concentration of carbon monoxide (CO), unburned hydrocarbons (UHC), NOx and SOx .

co2 emissions from combustion flue gases have turned into a major factor in global warming. post-combustion carbon capture (pcc) from industrial utility flue gases by reactive absorption can substantially reduce the emissions of the greenhouse gas co2. to test a new solvent (ait600) for this purpose, a small pilot plant was used. this paper presents the results of studies on chemical methods of...

Based on the TiO2 photocatalysis mechanism, a new method of simultaneous desulfurization and denitrification from flue gas was proposed. Preparation of TiO2 photocatalyst, design of photocatalysis reactor and influencing factors for simultaneous removal of SO2 and NO, and removal mechanism of SO2 and NO were studied. After the optimal values of concentration of O2 in flue gas, the relative humi...

Carbon dioxide sequestration by algae is receiving an increased attention towards the impact of increasing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Biological carbon dioxide sequestration might be the most promising, environmental friendly & cost effective means of reducing carbon dioxide emission in the energy sector. Algae produce more oil compared to other plants and it can grown in open pond syste...

Because of its mild reaction condition, relatively high denitrification efficiency and ability of combined removal of various pollutants, the flue gas denitrification technology based on oxidation theory has become a new and feasible method for flue gas denitrification. The technology has been applied extensively and studied in depth. This paper reviews the influencing factors, reaction mechani...

A report on a project conducted jointly under a cooperative agreement between: Cover photo: Coolside and LIMB are sorbent injection technologies. In Coolside, the sorbent is injected into the flue gas duct, while in LIMB, sorbent is injected into the upper portion of the boiler. Both clean coal technologies rely on humidification— mist sprayed into the flue gas (as shown in the photo)— which he...

The use of the activated carbon produced from rice hulls to control NOx emissions for future deep space missions has been demonstrated. The optimal carbonization temperature range was found to be between 600 and 750 degrees C. A burnoff of 61.8% was found at 700 degrees C in pyrolysis and 750 degrees C in activation. The BET surface area of the activated carbon from rice hulls was determined to...

In steam power plants, any improvement in the cooling towers thermal performance will cause the condenser's temperature to decrease; which in turn enhances the power plant's efficiency. Due to water shortage, many power plants all around the world rely on natural draft dry cooling towers (Heller type). In these cooling towers, condenser's exit hot water is pumped to vertical or horizontal finne...
