Apparatuses for controlling emissions of carbon capture facilities and associated methods are disclosed that generally involve a chamber defining at least one washwater packing. The exemplary apparatuses further include at least one washwater return line, a UV treatment zone and a hydrogen peroxide treatment zone. The UV treatment zone generally receives UV energy sufficient to substantially destroy a first emission compound and the hydrogen peroxide treatment zone generally receives a hydrogen peroxide medium sufficient to substantially oxidize a second emission compound to a less volatile final product. An alternative exemplary apparatus generally involves a UV treatment zone and an ozonation treatment zone, further including a hydrogen peroxide treatment zone applied within the ozonation treatment zone. The exemplary methods generally include applying at least one of a UV treatment, a hydrogen peroxide treatment and an ozonation treatment.

Method for removing all types of particulate matter with exclusion of biological multiplying microorganisms in indoor environments characterized by comprising the following two steps:the atomization of compounds that oxidize particulate matter to form complexes and to precipitate them;the atomization of a liquid containing a mixture of spores of Gram-positive aerobic and/or of facultative anaerobic spore formers to act as nuclei for extra precipitation, to cover the precipitated particulate matter; and to metabolize precipitated particles and to take up precipitated particles by the Gram-positive bacteria/thereby preventing the precipitated particles to become airborne again;whereby the drop size in both atomization steps is held between 5 and 50 m to yield a dry nebula.

Waste treatment comprises heating it in a chamber to effect pyrolysis of the waste, introducing oxygen into the chamber to effect combustion of the pyrolyzed waste, and contacting off-gas from the pyrolysis and/or combustion steps with an oxidation catalyst to convert carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons in the off-gas into carbon dioxide and water and with a reduction catalyst to convert nitrous oxides to nitrogen and oxygen. Thus, domestic waste is treated in a batch process using catalytic converters to reduce the level of toxic components before off-gas reaches the atmosphere.

A denitration device and a denitration method in which denitration is performed efficiently and in a stable manner in a lower-reaction-temperature region without using a catalyst. The denitration device is provided with a combustion chamber, a denitration agent feed means for feeding a denitration agent into the combustion chamber, an exhaust pipe, and an OH-radical-generating substance feed means for feeding an OH radical-generating substance into the exhaust pipe. The denitration agent feed means feeds a denitration agent into the exhaust gas of the combustion chamber to perform a first denitration reaction step, and the OH-radical-generating substance feed means feeds the OH-radical-generating substance into the exhaust gas in the exhaust pipe to perform a second denitration reaction step.

A flue-gas purification system includes a flue-gas cycling system, a reactor, and an absorbent adding system having at least a catalytic absorbent, wherein the catalytic absorbent is being gasified for reacting with the flue-gas in the reactor in a homogenous gas-gas phase reacting manner. Therefore, the purification system has fast reaction rate between the pollutants of the flue-gas and the catalytic absorbent, which is preferably ammonia, to efficiently remove pollutants, so as to effectively purify the flue-gas.

A method for increasing production and injection of a reservoir coupled with flue gas desulfurization and denitrification includes a flue gas desulfurization and denitrification process and a reservoir acid liquor acidizing process, where the flue gas desulfurization and denitrification process is mixing a desulfurizing and denitrating agent with H.sub.2O.sub.2 solution uniformly to prepare a solution, and spraying it into a flue gas in an opposite direction of flue gas flow, or mixing O.sub.3 into a flue gas in an opposite direction of flue gas flow, and simultaneously spraying a desulfurizing and denitrating agent solution. When the pH of the solution system reaches 6 to 6.5, the reacted waste liquor is collected as an acid liquor. The process can control atmospheric pollution, improve the economic efficiency of flue gas treatment, and can prepare acid liquor cheaply.

The present invention provides a process of cultivating microalgae and a joint method of same jointed with denitration. During the microalgae cultivation, EM bacteria is added into the microalgae suspension. In the nutrient stream for cultivating microalgae, at least one of the nitrogen source, phosphorus source and carbon source is provided in the form of a nutrient salt. During the cultivation, the pH of the microalgae suspension is adjusted with nitric acid and/or nitrous acid. The joint method includes (1) a step of cultivating microalgae; (2) a separation step of separating a microalgae suspension obtained from step (1) into a wet microalgae (microalgae biomass) and a residual cultivation solution; and (3) a NOx absorbing/immobilizing step of denitrating an industrial waste gas with the residual cultivation solution obtained from step (2). The nutrient stream absorbed with NOx obtained from step (3) is used to provide nitrogen source to the microalgae cultivation of step (1).

Bi-phasic compositions of water-immiscible ionic liquid and aqueous phase for application as versatile scrubbing liquid suitable for decontamination of a contaminated gaseous stream from a variety of contaminants are disclosed. It is currently believed that halogen-assisted catalytic-like oxidation of the contaminants by readily available oxidants in the bi-phasic compositions allows effective decontamination of the gaseous stream.

Thus, domestic waste is treated in a batch process using catalytic converters to reduce the level of toxic components before off-gas reaches the atmosphere.

The last sentence of the abstract has been deleted because it refers to purported merits of the invention. The abstract should not refer to purported merits or speculative applications of the invention and should not compare the invention with the prior art, therefore the abstract has been amended to delete the last sentence by Examiner's amendment.
