Disclosed herein are methods for removing acetylene from an ethylene gas stream wherein a catalyst reacts with the acetylene to polymerize said acetylene forming an ethylene gas stream substantially free of acetylene.

A process is presented to treat a process gas stream containing hydrogen sulfide using a reverse jet absorber with a liquid treatment solution containing a chelated metal catalyst. A treat gas substantially free of the hydrogen sulfide is separated from a spent liquid treatment solution containing elemental sulfur which can then be regenerated in an oxidation vessel where it is contacted with an oxygen containing gas to convert the spent liquid treatment solution to a regenerated liquid treatment solution that can be recycled for introduction into the reverse jet absorber.

The present disclosure relates to a titanium-organic framework photocatalyst for adsorption and decomposition of a volatile organic compound, a method for preparing the same and a method for removing a volatile organic compound using a titanium-organic framework photocatalyst. More specifically, a hierarchical pore structure can be formed and a pore size can be controlled by preparing a titanium-organic framework photocatalyst by coordination bonding a titanium precursor to a mixture of two carboxylic acid compounds having different electronegativity, as organic linkers, at an optimized ratio. The titanium-organic framework photocatalyst exhibits improved efficiency of adsorbing and decomposing a volatile organic compound (VOC) and can improve the photocatalytic degradation rate of the volatile organic compound (VOC).

The present invention belongs to the technical field of functional organic macromolecule composite catalysts and involves the preparation of a nitrogen-doped lattice macromolecule composite loaded with an efficient denitrification and sulfur resistance catalyst, firstly using the method of adding metal salts to make a large amount of Ce.sup.3+, Ce.sup.4+, Sn.sup.3+ and Sn.sup.4+ ions accumulate around the cyanuric acid molecule. Afterwards, 2,4,6-triaminopyrimidine and cytosine were added to graft with the cyanuric acid to produce the N-doped macromolecule in the first stage. After that, potassium permanganate was used as the oxidizing agent, and redox reaction occurred on the surface of N-doped macromolecules, so that the manganese cerium tin catalyst was grown in situ on the surface of N-doped macromolecules, and finally calcined at once to cross-link the N-doped macromolecules to generate catalyst composites. The catalysts described in this invention have higher efficient NOx reduction and sulfur resistance performance.

This invention relates to a Cu-BTC MOF which is water stable. The Cu-BTC MOF has been modified by substituting some of the BTC ligand (1,3,5, benzene tricarboxylic acid) with 5-aminoisophthalic acid (AIA). The resultant MOF retains at least 40% of its as synthesized surface area after exposure to liquid water at 60° C. for 6 hours. This is an unexpected result versus the MOF containing only the BTC ligand. This MOF can be used to abate contaminants such as ammonia in gas streams and especially air streams.

The present application is directed to a method for the conversion of nitrous acid to dinitrogen gas. In particular, the present application relates to a method for the conversion of nitrous acid to dinitrogen gas by contacting the nitrous acid with an amine-functionalized metal organic framework.
