A combustion device burns a fuel in a combustion chamber by using combustion air. The device includes a reducing agent injection device which includes an injection port and injects a predetermined reducing agent from the injection port toward a region having a low oxygen concentration in a flame in the combustion chamber, in which the reducing agent injection device changes a distance of the injection port with respect to the flame in accordance with an injection amount of reducing agent.

A method and system are provided to recover water and carbon dioxide from combustion emissions. The recovery includes, among other things, electrolysis and carbon dioxide capture in a suitable solvent. The recovered water and carbon dioxide are subject to reaction, such as a catalytic methanation reaction, to generate at least methane.

An apparatus for treating exhaust gas of a thermal power plant according to the present invention includes: a diffusion module part controlling an exhaust gas flow between a duct disposed at a rear end of a gas turbine of the thermal power plant and the gas turbine to guide the exhaust gas flow toward an inner wall of the duct; a plurality of injection nozzles installed in a flow section in the duct in which the exhaust gas guided toward the inner wall of the duct from the diffusion module part flows, and protruding from the inner wall of the duct; a fluid supply pipe connected to the injection nozzles and extending outside the duct; a fluid supply part supplying a pollutant treatment fluid in liquid phase to the injection nozzles through the fluid supply pipe; and a catalyst module disposed at rear ends of the injection nozzles.

Disclosed in the present disclosure are a low energy consumption anhydrous CO.sub.2 phase change absorption agent, and a regeneration method and an application thereof, the absorption agent using a unitary diamine with a primary amine (NH.sub.2) and a tertiary amine (N), and not containing any other organic solvent, water, and ionic liquid; two alkyl branches are linked to a nitrogen atom of the tertiary amine, forming a certain hydrophobicity; after absorbing the CO.sub.2, the diamine changes from a liquid phase to a solid phase, undergoing liquid-solid phase change to form white amino formate crystals.

A method for removing heavy hydrocarbons from a feed gas by: feeding, into an absorber, a top reflux stream and a second reflux stream below the top reflux stream, wherein the absorber produces an absorber bottom product stream and an absorber overhead product stream; depressurizing and feeding the absorber bottom product stream to a stripper to produce a stripper bottom product stream and a stripper overhead product stream; cooling and feeding a portion of the absorber overhead product stream back to the absorber as the top reflux stream; and pressurizing and feeding the stripper overhead product stream back to the absorber as the second reflux stream. Systems for carrying out the method are also provided.

A method can prepare a metal/metal oxide material from a nanostructure. The nanostructure can contain a first metal to form the metal oxide, and a reaction surface with a reducing agent on the reaction surface. A second metal is deposited onto the reaction surface to form a bimetallic product. The bimetallic product is calcined to form the metal/metal oxide material.

Co-polyimide membranes for separating components of sour natural gas including at least three distinct moieties polymerized together, the moieties including a 2,2-bis(3,4-dicarboxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane dianhydride (6FDA) based moiety; a 4,4-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)dianiline (6FpDA) based moiety; and at least one component selected from the group consisting of: a 9,9-bis(4-aminophenyl) fluorene (CARDO) based moiety; a 2,3,5,6-tetramethyl-1,4-phenylenediamine (durene diamine) based moiety; a 2,2-bis(trifluoromethyl)benzidine (ABL-21) based moiety; a 3,3-dihydroxybenzidine based moiety; and a 3,3-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)dianiline based moiety.
