The present disclosure is directed to methods for treating an organic material, including the steps of transporting the organic material into a first vessel; heating the organic material in the first vessel and applying a negative pressure to the organic material in the first vessel to a boiling point of the organic material, wherein the heat and negative pressure separates a portion of an ammonia from the organic material; removing the portion of the ammonia from the first vessel; transporting the removed portion of the ammonia from the first vessel to an acid solution in a second vessel; and separating a portion of the ammonia from the acid solution.

The invention relates to a method and to a system for gas scrubbing of aerosol-containing process gases using an amine-containing solvent as scrubbing agent, which is brought into contact with the process gas in an absorber column (9) and which is regenerated in a desorber column (13) and after cooling is delivered to the absorber column (9) again. The water vapor concentration of the process gas which is not saturated with water vapor is increased with water before the gas scrubbing in the absorber column (9), preferably to a degree of saturation of >0.8, such that water is condensed out of the gas phase on aerosol particles contained in the process gas, and in a following method step the aerosol particles which have grown in size are precipitated out of the process gas before the gas scrubbing.

The invention relates to a method and plant for producing cement clinker, comprising the steps of: burning raw materials to form cement clinker in a furnace, preheating the raw materials with flue gases of the furnace, and dehumidifying and cooling flue gases of the furnace by means of a condensation heat exchanger.

The invention relates to methods and equipment for treating industrial vapor and liquid waste streams to remove certain compounds and concentrate those compounds to produce a chemical product. Specifically, the invention related to methods and equipment for condensing vapor waste streams and combining those streams with other liquid waste streams, and processing those combined streams to separate certain compounds for further processing into a chemical product, such as a fertilizer, and to thereby to reduce pollution, odor, and nutrient loading to air and water resources and wastewater processing systems.

The invention generally relates to a hydrocarbon process for reducing condensation in a vapor-liquid amine or caustic acid gas scrubber. A first mixture is provided, the first mixture being superheated and comprising C.sub.2+ mono-olefin, acid gases, and diolefin molecules. The first mixture is divided into a first stream and a second stream, the first and second streams having substantially the same composition. The first stream is cooled to produce a gas phase and a liquid phase, the gas phase comprising less C.sub.6+, the liquid phase containing more C.sub.6+. The gas phase is separated to create a third stream. The third stream and the second stream are combined to form a second substantially superheated mixture. The second mixture is conducted to an acid gas scrubbing tower. The invention also relates to an apparatus for carrying out this process.

Methods and systems for recuperating power from a pressurized fluid stream of a carbon capture system are disclosed. A compressor pressurizes the carbon dioxide containing feed fluid and passes this fluid stream through a carbon capture process. The pressurized stream is expanded across a turbine where power is recovered.

A method for capturing CO.sub.2 from a gas mixture by dissolution in water is disclosed. The method comprises injecting the gas mixture as bubbles into a volume of water, allowing CO.sub.2 enriched water to exit out of the volume, and performing a depressurizing process of the CO.sub.2 enriched water. A corresponding system is also disclosed.

The disclosure relates to the technical field of carbon dioxide capture, in particular to a carbon dioxide capture tower, which includes a pre-washing impurity removal section, a carbon dioxide absorption section and a flue gas washing section being sequentially arranged from bottom to top in a vertical direction, so that flue gas sequentially flows through the pre-washing impurity removal section, the carbon dioxide absorption section and the flue gas washing section. A carbon dioxide capture tower flue gas inlet is arranged on the pre-washing impurity removal section, and a carbon dioxide capture tower flue gas outlet is arranged on the flue gas washing section. The purpose of this disclosure is to provide a carbon dioxide capture tower aiming at the technical problems that the manufacturing cost of the flue gas carbon dioxide capture system is high and the workload of later operation, overhaul and maintenance is large.

A method/system, which can be modified from the Flexicoking process/system, includes introducing a heavy petroleum feed into a fluidized bed in a reactor and converting the feed via a coking operation within the fluidized bed, producing an overhead stream with entrained coke fines from the reactor overhead and solid coke from the base of the reactor. The method includes injecting the solid coke into a fluidized bed in a burner and combusting the solid coke in the burner, producing hot coke particles. The method includes recirculating a portion of the hot coke particles to the fluidized bed in the reactor, discharging the remainder of the hot coke particles from the base of the burner and a flue gas from the burner overhead, and passing the flue gas and a caustic dispersion to a venturi scrubber to obtain a scrubbed flue gas. More petroleum coke can be produced from the method/system.
