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.

There is provided an exhaust gas processing apparatus configured to cause a processing gas to be exposed to or come into contact with a liquid and thereby detoxify the processing gas. The exhaust gas processing apparatus comprises a suction casing provided with an inlet which the processing gas is sucked into and with an outlet which the processing gas is flowed out from; a liquid tank configured to receive an outlet-side part of the suction casing and store the liquid therein; and one or multiple spray nozzles placed in the liquid tank. The outlet of the suction casing is arranged to be located above a liquid surface of the liquid stored in the liquid tank. The one or multiple spray nozzles are configured to spray the liquid from around the outlet of the suction casing to a peripheral part of the outlet.

Apparatus and methods for desulfurization and decarbonization of a process gas containing sulfur oxides and CO.sub.2. Ammonia may be used as a desulfurizing and decarbonizing agent. The gas may enter a desulfurization apparatus for desulfurization, and to produce an ammonium sulfate fertilizer. The desulfurized gas may enter a decarbonization apparatus to remove carbon dioxide in the gas, and to produce an ammonium bicarbonate fertilizer. The decarbonized gas may contain free ammonia. The decarbonized gas may be washed with a desulfurization circulating fluid and then with water. The washing fluid may be returned to the desulfurization apparatus for use as an absorbing agent for desulfurization. Acidic desulfurization circulating fluid may be used to wash ammonia, thereby achieving a high ammonia washing efficiency, and a low ammonia slip during the decarbonization process.

A packing for capturing carbon dioxide (CO.sub.2) from a dilute includes at least one panel that includes a mesh material configured to be wetted by a CO.sub.2 capture solution and that defines a gas channel having a first dimension defined along a first direction and a second dimension defined along a second direction different than the first direction, the gas channel configured to receive a flow of CO.sub.2-laden gas from the dilute gas source in the second direction and contact the flow of CO.sub.2-laden gas with the CO.sub.2 capture solution on the mesh material.

An exhaust steam stream having an absolute pressure from 200 kPa to 1,050 kPa and shaft power are produced from an extraction turbine and/or a back-pressure turbine. The exhaust steam stream can be supplied to an amine regenerator of an amine CO.sub.2 separation process. The shaft power can be utilized to drive equipment in a hydrocarbon processing plant such as an olefins production plant.

The present invention relates to a method for carbon dioxide capture and concentration by partitioned multistage circulation based on mass transfer-reaction regulation. In the present invention, multiple means such as multistage circulating absorption, intelligent multi-factor regulation, pre-washing and cooling, inter-stage cooling, post-stage washing, slurry cleaning, cooling water waste heat utilization, small-particle-size and high-density spraying, external strengthening field such as a thermal field/ultrasonic field/electric field, and catalysis by composite catalyst are adopted, so that the target for low cost, low energy consumption, stability and high efficiency is realized. The secondary pollutants are effectively inhibited while carbon dioxide is efficiently captured; meanwhile, high-efficiency capture, low-energy desorption, and high-purity concentration of carbon dioxide are implemented. From top to bottom in sequence, the multistage circulation is used to remove aerosols, improves carbon capture efficiency, maintains absorption rate, concentrates solution, which reduces the carbon emission reduction cost.

A scrubbing assembly for treating malodorous air by chemical scrubbing one or more chemical components from an influent airflow, particularly one or more chemical components that have become airborne from chemical intervention solutions used during food processing, such as vapors from peroxycarboxylic acid solutions used during food processing. The peroxycarboxylic acid vapors are removed from air in a continuous manner within the scrubber assembly utilizing a neutralizing chemical solution to provide a treated effluent airflow that can be returned back to the point of use area from which the malodorous air was removed for treatment.

A gas separation system has system input inlet configured to receive a stream mixture including a target gas, one or more spray generators positioned to spray a non-sprayable liquid to change a concentration of the target gas in the non-sprayable liquid, one or more system outlets positioned to outlet an output material, wherein at least one of the system outlets outputs a material having a lower amount of the target gas than the input stream mixture, and a recirculating path connected to the one or more outputs and the input inlet to allow recirculation of the non-sprayable liquid. A method of performing gas separation includes absorbing a target gas from an input stream in a non-sprayable capture liquid, and releasing the target gas in an output gas stream by spraying the non-sprayable capture liquid into a heated volume using a spray generator. A method of performing gas separation includes receiving an input stream that includes a target gas, using one or more spray generators to apply a non-sprayable liquid as a spray to the input stream to change a concentration of the target gas in the liquid, and outputting the liquid with the changed concentration through an outlet.
