The present invention addresses the problem and purpose of providing a honeycomb structure that has a sufficiently high strength and is excellent in endurance, and a catalyst for cleaning an exhaust gas using the same that is excellent in resistance to sulfur oxide (SOX). The honeycomb structure of the present invention is one consists of a flat inorganic fiber sheet comprising an inorganic fiber sheet having supported thereon an inorganic binder and zeolite, and a corrugated inorganic fiber sheet comprising an inorganic fiber sheet having supported thereon the same inorganic binder and zeolite, which are alternately combined with each other, wherein it is characterized in that the zeolite has a particle diameter (i.e., a median particle diameter, D50) of from 0.5 to 10.0 m.

Processes and compositions for scavenging hydrogen sulfide from hydrocarbon streams are disclosed that reduce, if not substantially eliminate, the formation of crystalline or amorphous solids even under cold conditions. The compositions used in the processes comprise a hexahydrotriazine component and an amphiphilic component that form a hydrophobic micelle when the hexahydrotriazine component becomes spent.

A method for preparing a stable concentrated formaldehyde blend, the method providing a formaldehyde solution and a crude glycerol compound; and blending the formaldehyde solution and the crude glycerol compound to obtain a stable concentrated formaldehyde blend.

A redox flow acid-gas capture system includes an electrochemical cell including a cathode configured to contact a stream including an electroactive species in an inactive state and provide a reduced stream including the electroactive species in an active state, and an anode configured to contact an adduct stream including an adduct of an electroactive species and an acid-gas and provide an oxidized stream including the electroactive species in the inactive state and the acid-gas; an absorber configured to contact the reduced stream and the acid-gas and form the adduct stream including the adduct of the electroactive species and the acid-gas; and at least one of an oxygen stripper unit, or a degasser unit configured to provide a degassed stream including the electroactive species in an inactive state, and an acid-gas stream.

A diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) for reducing nitrogen oxides in diesel exhaust streams while also reducing the deposition of urea and/or urea decomposition compounds in diesel exhaust systems of engines that use DEF and require selective catalytic reduction. The DEF has about 15 wt. % to about 40 wt % urea; substantially purified water; and a compound additive that generates water in the diesel exhaust streams at temperatures greater than 100 C., interferes with competing reactions that would otherwise prevent decomposition of urea or produce undesired decomposition deposit compounds including biuret, cyanuric acid, ammelide, ammeline, and melamine, or both generates water and interferes with the competing reactions. The compound additive is preferably a sugar, acetic acid, or ammonium acetate. Also disclosed are a related method of using the DEF in a diesel exhaust system and a system including the DEF as one component.

Provided are a gas abatement apparatus and a gas treatment method that can realize energy saving and that can expand the range of operational conditions. The gas abatement apparatus according to the present invention includes a first reactor and a second reactor. The first reactor includes a first reaction space surrounded by a heat wall, and the second reactor includes a second reaction space surrounding the heat wall. Gas and a reducing agent are introduced from one end side of the first reaction space, and the other end side of the first reaction space communicates with the second reaction space. Oxygen or a gas including oxygen is introduced into the second reaction space.
