Various embodiments disclosed relate to sorbents for the oxidation and removal of mercury. The present invention includes removing mercury from a mercury-containing gas using a halide-promoted and optionally ammonium-protected sorbent that can include carbon sorbent, non-carbon sorbent, or a combination thereof.

Organic sulfur compounds contained in refinery off gas streams having either high or low concentrations of olefins are converted to hydrogen sulfides which can be then be removed using conventional amine treating systems. The process uses a catalytic reactor with or without a hydrotreater depending on the olefin concentration of the off gas stream. The catalytic reactor operates in a hydrogenation mode or an oxidation mode to convert a majority of organic sulfur compounds into hydrogen sulfides.

A nozzle lance for exhaust gas treatment, a combustion plant with nozzle lances for exhaust gas treatment, and a method for exhaust gas treatment in a combustion plant are proposed, whereby an added fluid can be mixed in with the active fluid in or immediately in front of the nozzle lance.

A carbonaceous feedstock gasification power generation facility, and a method for regulating a gas for drying gas this carbonaceous feedstock, are disclosed with which it is possible to expand the range of the types of carbonaceous feedstocks that can be used. High-temperature exhaust gas, low-temperature exhaust gas and extreme high-temperature exhaust gas are bled from the furnace respectively at a high-temperature bleed position, a low-temperature bleed position and an extreme high-temperature bleed position. When these exhaust gases are mixed, the flow volume of the extreme high-temperature exhaust gas supplied to at least one of the exhaust gases, that is, the high-temperature exhaust gas or the low-temperature exhaust gas, is adjusted such that the temperature of at least one of these exhaust gases, that is, the high-temperature exhaust gas or the low-temperature exhaust gas, reaches a prescribed temperature.

The process uses a catalytic reactor with or without a hydrotreater depending on the olefin concentration of the off gas stream. The catalytic reactor operates in a hydrogenation mode or an oxidation mode to convert a majority of organic sulfur compounds into hydrogen sulfides.

Controlling aerosol production during absorption in ammonia-based desulfurization. The absorption reaction temperature, the oxygen content and water content of the process gas may be controlled, and an absorption circulating liquid containing ammonium sulfite may be used for removing sulfur dioxide in flue gas, so as to control aerosol production during absorption in the ammonia-based desulfurization

Disclosed herein is a system for the removal of volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides from off-gas even at high NO.sub.2 to NO.sub.x ratios, wherein the amount of NO.sub.2 within NO.sub.x is higher than or equal to 50 mol-%, comprising a source of ammonia, means for introducing ammonia into a catalytic article having an SCR functionality; a catalytic article having both an oxidation and an SCR functionality, the catalytic article comprising a catalyst substrate and a catalyst composition comprising at least one platinum group metal and/or at least one platinum group metal oxide, at least one oxide of titanium and at least one oxide of vanadium, wherein the washcoat is located in and/or on the walls of the catalyst substrate: means for measuring the amount of NO.sub.x and/or the ammonia slip between the outlet end of the catalytic article and the stack or at the stack, at least one carbon monoxide source, and means for introducing carbon monoxide into the catalytic article. Optionally, an SCR catalytic article can be placed upstream of downstream of the cata-lytic article having both an oxidation and an SCR functionality. Also disclosed is a method for the removal of volatile organic compounds, carbon monoxide and nitrogen oxides from off-gas introducing carbon monoxide in order to keep the amount of NOx and/or the ammonia slip between the outlet end of the catalytic article and the stack or at the stack at predetermined values. The method makes use of the system according to the invention. The system and the method can be used for the cleaning of flue gas.

A vehicle exhaust system includes an exhaust gas aftertreatment component and an exhaust duct positioned downstream of the exhaust gas aftertreatment component. The exhaust duct defines an internal cavity and a mixer is positioned within the internal cavity. A sensor is configured to sample exhaust gas downstream of the mixer.

The present invention describes a fluid which is suitable for the decontamination of heat engines which can carry out both, at the same time, the catalytic reduction of oxides of nitrogen (NOx) contained in exhaust gases and assist in the regeneration of the particulate filter (PF). The invention also describes several embodiments of said fluid.

An as-synthesized microporous material having a CHA structure and containing at least one organic structure directing agent that has the following general structure of the quaternary ammonium cation is disclosed: ##STR00001##
A microporous crystalline material made from the as-synthesized material is also disclosed. A method of making microporous crystalline material using one or more organic structure directing agents is also disclosed. A method of selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides in exhaust gas that comprises contacting exhaust gases, typically in the presence of ammonia, urea, an ammonia generating compound, or a hydrocarbon compound, with an article comprising the disclosed microporous crystalline is also disclosed.
