We present the first report on bioinspired silica - produced using a green method - supported carbonic anhydrase for carbon capture and demonstrate significantly improved carbon capture efficiency and stability relevant to flue gas temperatures.

An alyses of the components of municipal refuse were assembled, from which an average· composite analysis was calculated. The analyses of the flue and stack gases from 18 municipal incin erators were also tabu­ lated and plotted. A marked difference was n oted be­ tween the analyses of the stack gases and those to be expected from the combustion of the composite refuse. Much of the difference c...

The purpose of this paper and its prequel is to introduce and develop a theory of toric stacks which encompasses and extends several notions of toric stacks defined in the literature, as well as classical toric varieties. While the focus of the prequel is on how to work with toric stacks, the focus of this paper is how to show a stack is toric. For toric varieties, a classical result says that ...

BioDeNOx is an integrated physicochemical and biological process for the removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx) from flue gases. In this process, the flue gas is purged through a scrubber containing a solution of Fe(II)EDTA2-, which binds the NOx to form an Fe(II)EDTA.NO2- complex. Subsequently, this complex is reduced in the bioreactor to dinitrogen by microbial denitrification. Fe(II)EDTA2-, which ...

Since there is no flue-gas desulfurization facility (FGD) in Australian Power Plants, the temperatures of flue gases from the plants range from 393–433 K which is much higher than the absorption temperatures in a typical post combustion CO2 capture (PCC) process. The additional cooling systems and equipments are required to cool flue gases. This adds to the cost, and water and energy consumptio...

In recent years, low energy accelerators has been rapidly developed for medical and industrial applications. This paper presents the current applications of accelerators for radiotherapy, electron-beam irradiation processing, production of radioactive isotopes, electronbeam coal-fired flue gas treatment, container inspection for customs and radiography. There are about 600 sets of electron lina...

Online detection and prognosis are very important for the safe operation of flue gas turbines. Compared with univariate monitoring of the process, multivariate process monitoring is more effective and can capture abnormal situation in the early stage. This paper proposes a new multivariate fault prognosis framework for the flue gas turbine with a hidden fault process based on independent compon...

Municipal solid waste (MSW) flue gas residues require further treatment prior to disposal or reuse, and vitrification is one of the main solidification-stabilization processes. This paper investigates the high temperature behavior of MSW flue gas residues, performed in laboratory experiments up to 1400 degrees C, and coupled with thermogravimetric analyses, X-ray diffraction, chemical and elect...

Investigations were carried out on the effective utilization of blast furnace flue dust samples obtained from the two integrated steel plants at Rourkela and Jamshedpur. The samples essentially contained unburnt coke and iron rich grains as the value added products. Flotation technique was employed to recover the carbon values present in the sample. It was possible to obtain a product containin...

The Thief Process is a cost-effective variation to activated carbon injection (ACI) for removal of mercury from flue gas. In this scheme, partially combusted coal from the furnace of a pulverized coal power generation plant is extracted by a lance and then re-injected into the ductwork downstream of the air preheater. Recent results on a 500-lb/h pilot-scale combustion facility show similar rem...
