Processes and systems for the production of ethylbenzene using a dilute ethylene feed and subsequent recovery of ethane in the alkylation vent gas.

Disclosed are methods of separating solute from solvent using a photoactive extractant. The photoactive extractant can be switched between two states by exposure to light. This can change the affinity of the photoactive extractant for either the solute or the solvent, causing absorption of the solute or solvent. The photoactive extractant can then be separated from the fluid stream containing the solute or solvent. The absorbed solute or solvent is then separated from the photoactive extractant. The photoactive extractant is a photoisomer. Applications for these methods include desalination, water purification, and metal extraction.

A system for oxidizing nitrogen monoxide (NO) contained in exhaust gas injects a liquid oxidizing agent into the exhaust gas and simultaneously removes nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides from exhaust gas using an organic catalyst. The system includes an absorption tank for storing an absorption solution containing an organic catalyst, the absorption tank communicating with an oxygen supply pipe for supplying oxygen-containing gas to the absorption tank; an absorption tower, extending upward from the absorption tank, through which the exhaust gas flows from an exhaust gas inlet duct to an exhaust gas outlet; a first injection unit to inject the absorption solution into the absorption tower; a second injection unit to inject an oxidizing agent solution into at least one of the inlet duct and the absorption tower; and an oxidizing agent supply unit for supplying the oxidizing agent solution to the second injection unit.

Process for the combined production of a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen, and of carbon monoxide by cryogenic distillation and cryogenic scrubbing, wherein a methane-rich liquid is introduced at a first intermediate level of a scrubbing column as first scrubbing liquid and at least one nitrogen-rich liquid is introduced at a level higher than the first level of the scrubbing column as second scrubbing liquid and a mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen is drawn off as overhead gas from the scrubbing column.

The invention is a process and apparatus for separating the components of a multi-component gas stream comprising light and heavier volatility components with a variable composition. The process includes contacting the multi-component gas stream with a lean solvent in an absorber to produce a light component overhead stream and a rich solvent bottoms stream, flashing the rich solvent bottoms stream in at least a first, second and third reduced constant pressure of sequentially lower pressure wherein the released gas is compressed and a part is routed back to the absorber bottoms as stripping gas and a part is routed as a part of the heavier product stream. In this invention compressed vapor from the first or second reduced constant pressure rich solvent flash vessel is split by flow control between recycle routing to the absorber bottom stage as stripping gas and to the heavier product hydrocarbon stream, depending on the feed gas concentration of light component. The third and any additional flash vessels at sequentially lower pressure produce flash gas that is the remainder of the produced hydrocarbon product stream. The lean solvent remaining after the lowest pressure flash is routed back to the top of the absorber.

Provided is a method for producing acetic acid, which includes an absorption step that suppresses corrosion inside a distillation column when a solution after that has absorbed a target component is subjected to distillation. The method for producing acetic acid according to an embodiment of the present invention includes an absorption step of supplying, to an absorption column, at least a portion of offgas generated in an acetic acid production process, bringing the offgas into contact with an absorbent containing one or more liquids selected from the group consisting of a hydrocarbon, an ester of a carboxylic acid having 3 or more carbon atoms, an ester of a carboxylic acid and an alcohol having 2 or more carbon atoms, and an ether, to allow the absorbent to absorb an iodine compound in the offgas, and separating into a gas component having a lower iodine compound concentration than the offgas and a solution containing the absorbent and the iodine compound.

The present invention discloses a method and system for thermal desorption treatment of organic-contaminated soil and treatment of desorbed waste gas. The system includes a thermal incinerator, a desorption flue gas temperature regulating device, a thermal desorption reactor, a dust collector, a heat exchange/steam separator, an absorption reactor, a star-shaped unloader, and a soil cooler. An absorbent containing organic pollutants is used as a fuel, and subjected to thermal incineration to achieve the decomposition and harmless treatment of the organic pollutants; and high temperature flue gas generated by the incineration is used as a heat carrier for thermal desorption remediation of the organic-contaminated soil; and by means of the high solubility capability of fuel oil to organic matter, the fuel oil is used as an absorbent to absorb and purify the organic pollutants in desorbed waste gas, so that the gas is purified gas and up-to-standard discharge is achieved. The present invention achieves the thermal desorption of the organic pollutants, the absorption and purification of the pollutants in the desorbed waste gas, and the thorough decomposition of the organic pollutants; the fuel oil has both functions of the absorbent and the fuel, and the present invention has the advantages of short process, low energy consumption, simple equipment and low cost.
