A plant and a method for producing decarbonized oxide or hydroxide using carbonate, water and electric power. The plant includes an electric calciner, a contactor, a pH correction apparatus, and a dosing device. The plant is adapted to receive at the inlet electric power, carbonate and water, and to release at the outlet decarbonized oxide or hydroxide and a buffered ionic mixture rich in bicarbonates, which, once released into the sea, represents the permanent storage for CO.sub.2. The plant uses the bicarbonates as permanent CO.sub.2 storage in the sea: this storage allows a CO.sub.2 storage at low costs and in modular plants.

A system and method for processing industrial waste gas based on a combination of photoelectrocatalysis and a biotrickling filter, including an industrial waste gas simulation generator, a photoelectrocatalytic reactor and at least one biotrickling filter. The industrial waste gas simulation device transports the industrial waste gas to the photoelectrocatalytic reactor through the buffer tank and the mixing tank by a fan. Then the industrial waste gas is degraded under the synergistic catalysis of the substances with high catalytic activity generated by the plasma reactor and the photocatalyst activated by the ultraviolet lamp.

Catalyst regeneration processes that include measures for controlling emissions generated during the regeneration are described. The present invention further relates to catalytic processes for producing various chlorinated aromatic compounds that include provisions for controlling emissions during catalyst regeneration.

Methods and systems for converting ammonium waste streams into certifiably Organic ammonium salts having a variety of uses in greenhouse gas-reducing activities are herein described. The resulting ammonium salt compositions can be used to enhance crop yield.

Methods of decontaminating bone tissue and an apparatus or system for the same are provided. The methods can be multi-batch processes and include contacting the bone tissue having contaminants with carbon dioxide to decontaminate the bone tissue and to form carbon dioxide having contaminants. The contaminated carbon dioxide is collected and the contaminants are removed to obtain purified carbon dioxide which can be recycled to treat contaminated bone tissue. The contaminated carbon dioxide can be purified by bubbling it through water and/or an organic solvent followed by acid treatment, filtering and liquefying the carbon dioxide. Contaminants that can be removed from contaminated bone tissue, and in turn, from contaminated carbon dioxide include infectious organisms, bacteria, viruses, protozoa, parasites, fungi and mold or a mixture thereof.

Provided are a method for treating sulfur hexafluoride and an apparatus for collecting and treating by-products. The method for treating sulfur hexafluoride, and the apparatus for collecting and treating by-products according to the present invention are a significantly effective method and apparatus capable of safely treating sulfur hexafluoride at low cost.

Disclosed is a urea finishing method including an off-gas treatment, the method comprising urea finishing and supplying the off-gas to a quenching zone and to a scrub column comprising a sump and a venturi stage, wherein the sump has a split sump configuration with two compartments.

Disclosed are a system and a method for desulfurization and denitrification of an alumina calcination flue gas, and a use. The system comprises an ozone generator, a red mud pre-impregnation slurry scrubbing tower, and a red mud pre-impregnation tank and a red mud pre-impregnation clear liquid scrubbing tower. NO.sub.x in a flue gas is oxidized into a high valence oxynitride by ozone, and with the red mud as an absorbent, the synergistic absorption of SO.sub.2 and NO.sub.x in the flue gas is achieved, while the dealkalization of the red mud is achieved. By means of the synergistic catalytic oxidation of metal ions such as Fe.sup.3+ in a red mud slurry and ozone, the synergistic absorption of sulfur and oxynitride is prompted; and the use of a structure of staged absorption in two towers overcomes the problem of the difficulty in absorbing NO.sub.2 with a low O.sub.3/NO.sub.x molar ratio.

Catalyst regeneration processes that include measures for controlling emissions generated during the regeneration are described. The present invention further relates to catalytic processes for producing various chlorinated aromatic compounds that include provisions for controlling emissions during catalyst regeneration.
