A method in which flue gas or exhaust gas containing harmful carbon monoxide, organic compounds (VOC) and NOx is contacted with a layered catalyst. A first layer of the catalyst comprises an oxidation catalyst. An underlying layer of the catalyst comprises a NH3-SCR catalyst for the simultaneous removal of the carbon monoxide and NOx.

An improved catalytic filter material for use in removing target species found in a fluid stream is provided. The filter material includes water wettable, high temperature staple fibers in the form of porous substrates that are attached to a high temperature fluoropolymer woven scrim. The porous substrates have catalyst particles adhered (e.g., tethered) to the surfaces thereof by a polymer adhesive. Optionally, at least one microporous layer is positioned adjacent to or within the filter material.

Provided is a method of manufacturing a nano-catalyst filter, which includes depositing through electrodeposition a catalyst precursor inside a porous filter to which an electrode layer is attached. Using this method, a nano-catalyst can be uniformly deposited inside a porous ceramic filter, and high catalyst efficiency can be obtained only using a small amount of the nano-catalyst.

An aftertreatment system includes: a first exhaust gas path comprising a heater; a second exhaust gas path comprising a first decomposition chamber configured to receive reductant and a first selective catalytic reduction catalyst downstream of the first decomposition chamber; a combined exhaust gas path downstream of the first exhaust gas path and the second exhaust gas path, the combined exhaust gas path configured to receive exhaust gas from both the first exhaust gas path and the second exhaust gas path; a selector valve configured to divert the exhaust gas between the first exhaust gas path and the second exhaust gas path based on a temperature of the exhaust gas; and a controller programmed to control the selector valve.

A process for combined removal of siloxanes and sulfur-containing compounds from biogas streams, such as streams from landfills or anaerobic digesters, comprises heating the biogas stream and optionally mixing it with air, feeding the gas to a first filter unit with high temperature resistance, injecting a dry sorbent into the first filter unit to capture siloxanes present in the gas, recycling part of the exit gas from the first filter unit to the inlet thereof for the sulfur-containing compounds to be captured by the dry sorbent or optionally to a second filter unit inlet for the sulfur-containing compounds to be captured by a sulfur-specific sorbent and recovering clean gas from the first or optionally from the second filter unit.

Disclosed are an extruded honeycomb catalyst, a process for preparing the catalyst, a method for reducing NOx in the exhaust gas from an internal combustion engine by using the catalyst, and a method for treatment of the emission gas generated from power plant comprising exposing the emission gas to the catalyst.

The present invention relates to a VOC reduction system and a VOC reduction method that applies pulse type thermal energy to a catalyst to activate the catalyst and oxidizes and removes the VOC.

Tandem electrodialysis (ED) cell systems and methods for using the tandem ED cell systems to extract and recover ions from ion-containing solutions are provided. The tandem ED cell systems are composed of ion-extraction and ion-recovery ED cells. A redox couple contained in the anolyte of the ion-extraction ED cell is different from a redox couple contained in the catholyte of the ion-extraction ED cell. The electrode reactions in the ion-extraction ED cell are reversed in the ion-recovery ED cell, with the anolyte and catholyte of the two ED cells swapped and continuously circulated. As a result, the redox species in the anolyte and catholyte of the two cells are never depleted, which allows for achieving ion extraction and ion recovery with the use of a minimal amount of the redox couples.

A process for preparing a catalyst material, includes: (a) providing a support material having surface hydroxyl (OH) groups, the support material is ceria (CeO.sub.2), zirconia (ZrO.sub.2) or a combination, and the support material contains between 0.3 and 2.0 mmol OH groups/g of the support material; (b) reacting the support material with at least one of: (b1) a compound containing at least one alkoxy or phenoxy group bound though its oxygen atom to a metal element from Group 5 (V, Nb, Ta) or Group 6 (Cr, Mo, W); (b2) a compound containing at least one hydrocarbon group bound though a carbon atom to a metal element from Group 5 or 6; (b3) a compound containing at least one hydrocarbon group bound though a carbon atom to a metal element which is copper (Cu); and (c) calcining the product obtained in step (b).

The present invention relates to the technical field of catalyst preparation, disclosing a preparation method and application of a coated vanadium-tungsten-titanium oxide monolithic SCR catalyst. The method includes the steps of mixing a vanadium oxide precursor, a tungsten oxide precursor, titanium dioxide, an inorganic adhesive, an organic adhesive and a macromolecular surfactant with deionized water and stirring them to obtain a thick liquid; adding a pH adjuster to the thick liquid to make its pH 1.5-4.5; impregnating a cordierite honeycomb carrier in the thick liquid to obtain a preliminarily-impregnated catalyst and dried and calcined the preliminarily-impregnated catalyst to obtain a finished catalyst. The method has advantages such as simple operation, easy repetition and short time-consuming, so it can be applied to exhaust gas post-treatment of a marine diesel engine, and provide a good choice for catalysts used to denitrify medium and high temperature exhausted gas from marine engines.
