The invention relates to a method for reduction of HCl emission from a cement plant based on a treatment of a preheater (1) and/or bypass gas stream, characterized in that a cement raw meal, as a HCl absorber, is dispersed in the gas stream(s) from which HCl is to be removed; the cement raw meal is introduced from a raw mill (6) and/or a silo (8) into a pipe with a up going gas flow; the pipe being arranged in fluid communication at a point after a gas conditioning tower (7) and/or before a particle filter unit (5) and/or in a by-pass line before particle filter (4).

A method for removing a halogen fluoride in a mixed gas by reacting the mixed gas containing a halogen fluoride including bromine or iodine with a removing agent, wherein the removing agent is a chloride, bromide or iodide of potassium, sodium, magnesium, calcium and barium. Also disclosed is a quantitative analysis method as well as a quantitative analyzer for a gas component contained in a hydrogen fluoride mixed gas, the method characterized by reacting a mixed gas containing a halogen fluoride and another gas component with a removing agent, thereby removing the halogen fluoride in the mixed gas, further removing produced by-products, and quantitatively analyzing a residual gas by a gas chromatograph.

Highly porous nucleophilic organic cages (Nu-POC) were in-situ synthesized on cotton fibers by a condensation reaction between cyanuric chloride and melamine, and the products were employed as a robust wearable and flexible detoxifying protective material (denoted as POCotton) for vaporous pesticides. The covalent growth of Nu-POC particles on surfaces of cotton fibers retained the physical characteristics of Nu-POC to the greatest extend, which include specific surface area and porosity, while the cotton fabrics still remained wearable. The resultant POCotton can repeatedly adsorb fumigant vapors instantly (i.e., equilibrium reached within one minute) and massively (i.e., adsorption capacity at 596.88 mg/g of methyl iodide).

A process for the treatment of waste water, spent air, and hydrocarbon containing liquid and gaseous streams in the cumene/phenol complex is described. Various effluent streams are combined in appropriate collection vessels, including a spent air knockout drum, a hydrocarbon buffer vessel, a fuel gas knockout drum, a phenolic water vessel, and a non-phenolic water vessel. Streams from these vessels are sent to a thermal oxidation system.

Materials and methods for mitigating the effects of halide species contained in process streams are provided. A halide-containing process stream can be contacted with mitigation materials comprising active metal oxides and a non-acidic high surface area carrier combined with a solid, porous substrate. The halide species in the process stream can be reacted with the mitigation material to produce neutralized halide salts and a process stream that is essentially halide-free. The neutralized salts can be attracted and retained on the solid, porous substrate.

Methods and systems for producing aromatics and light olefins from a mixed plastics stream are described. The method may include feeding a plastic feedstock to a dechlorination operation to melt the plastic feedstock to release HCl and generate a liquid plastic stream; feeding the liquid plastic stream to a pyrolysis reactor, the pyrolysis reactor to generate hydrocarbon vapors; feeding the hydrocarbon vapors to an acid gas removal reactor with a solid inorganic alkali salt disposed within the reaction vessel to remove residual HCl and sulfur-containing compounds from the hydrocarbon vapors to generate a plastic derived oil; and feeding the plastic derived oil to a steam enhanced catalytic cracking reactor to generate a product stream comprising light olefins having a carbon number of C.sub.2-C.sub.4 and aromatics. The associated system for processing mixed plastics into aromatics and light olefins is also described.
