An exhaust gas treatment apparatus is disclosed. An exhaust gas treatment apparatus according to an embodiment of the present disclosure includes a gas/liquid reactor contacting a treatment liquid and an emission-regulated gas included in exhaust gas, to absorb and remove the emission-regulated gas; a treatment liquid supply tank supplying the treatment liquid to the gas/liquid reactor; and a gas/liquid separation treatment liquid regeneration unit regenerating a waste treatment liquid in which the emission-regulated gas is absorbed, into a treatment liquid in which the emission-regulated gas is not absorbed, and supplying the regenerated treatment liquid to the treatment liquid supply tank, wherein the gas/liquid separation treatment liquid regeneration unit includes a gas/liquid separation membrane through which a gas can pass but a liquid cannot pass.

A system and method for filtering exhaust gases of a vehicle is disclosed, that are based on an exhaust filter assembly includes an enclosure having an inlet coupled with an end of an exhaust pipe to allow exhaust gases of the vehicle into the enclosure, a filter element fitted with the enclosure to adsorb gaseous particles, moisture, and unburned fuel mist particles of the exhaust gases, sensors to sense gaseous particles adsorbed on the filter element, and generate first signals based on the sensed gaseous particles; a control unit; and a communication unit. The control unit includes processors to: receive the generated first signals, and generate second signals based on the received first signals. The communication is configured to transmit the second signals to computing devices of users to notify the users. Thermoelectric generator is adapted to convert heat energy of the exhaust gases into electric power.

A combined cooling, heating and power system is formed by integrating a CO.sub.2 cycle subsystem, an ORC cycle subsystem, and an LNG cold energy utilization subsystem based on an SOFC/GT hybrid power generation subsystem. The combined system can achieve efficient and cascade utilization of energy and low carbon dioxide emission. An SOFC/GT hybrid system is used as a prime mover. High-, medium-, and low-temperature waste heat of the system are recovered through CO.sub.2 and ORC cycles, respectively. Cold energy (for air conditioning and refrigeration), heat, power, natural gas, ice, and dry ice can be provided by using LNG as a cold source of the CO.sub.2 and ORC cycles. Low CO.sub.2 emission is achieved by condensation and separation of CO.sub.2 from flue gas, so energy loss of the system can be reduced, and efficient and cascade utilization of energy can be achieved, thereby realizing energy conservation and emission reduction.

A CO.sub.2 recovery system used in a vehicle includes a CO.sub.2 recovery device recovering CO.sub.2 contained in inflowing gas; and a flow rate control device controlling flow rates of gases present in a plurality of different regions of the vehicle flowing into the CO.sub.2 recovery device. The gases present at the plurality of different regions include at least any two among air at an outside of the vehicle, air at an inside of the vehicle, and exhaust gas discharged from a body of an internal combustion engine of the vehicle.

A vehicle 100 comprises a fuel tank for storing fuel, a fueling port for supplying the fuel tank with fuel, a CO.sub.2 recovery device configured to recover CO.sub.2, a CO.sub.2 collection port for collecting CO.sub.2 from the CO.sub.2 recovery device, and a single openable lid configured to cover both the fueling port and the CO.sub.2 collection port.

The present disclosure relates to an exhaust pipe apparatus. The exhaust pipe apparatus includes a first exhaust pipe provided to directly discharge exhaust gas discharged from a combustion engine to the outside, a second exhaust pipe connected in parallel with the first exhaust pipe and having a branch pipe connected to one side thereof such that the exhaust gas is directly discharged to the outside or discharged through the branch pipe, and a first damper installed in the second exhaust pipe to control a flow of the exhaust gas to be directly discharged to the outside or discharged through the branch pipe.

An illustrated view of an exemplary air filter for reducing emissions is presented. The air filter is useful for removing toxic gases from the air surrounding a combustion engine of a vehicle is presented. The air filter is useful for scrubbing the ambient air for removal of toxic contaminants such as carbon dioxide and thus reducing harmful emissions of a vehicle. The air filter though described for a vehicle can also be used in industry settings as well as at home. The air filter is recyclable. Although a vehicle is shown, it is an example only. Other applications are possible and have been contemplated for the air filter 100 including, but not limited to, commercial applications, home applications, industrial applications, etc.

An engine system includes an engine configured to combust liquid natural gas and generate an exhaust gas comprising methane; a catalytic reactor coupled downstream of the engine and configured to convert methane into a product through one or more of oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reaction and steam methane reforming (SMR) reaction; and a recirculation loop configured to recirculate at least a part of the product back to the engine.

A combustion system including a combustion mechanism that injects oxygenated fuel into a combustion chamber. The oxygenated fuel mixes with the intake air in the combustion chamber where the air-fuel ratio in a portion of the combustion chamber is stoichiometric. The combustion mechanism includes an ignition mechanism that ignites the air-fuel mixture that generates a threshold number of particulates during combustion of the air-fuel mixture. The combustion system further includes an exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) device that recirculates a portion of the exhaust gases back into the combustion chamber. The EGR device recirculates the portion of the exhaust to lower combustion temperature resulting in reduced amount of nitrogen oxide in the exhaust. The combustion system further includes a three-way catalytic converter in line with the exhaust channel to convert a second portion of the exhaust gases, leading to lower pollutant emissions than conventional combustion systems.
