Systems and methods use bimetallic alloy particles for converting hydrogen sulfide (H.sub.2S) to hydrogen (H.sub.2) and sulfur (S), typically during multiple operations. In a first operation, metal alloy composite particles can be converted to a composite metal sulfide. In a second operation, composite metal sulfide from the first operation can be regenerated back to the metal alloy composite particle using an inert gas stream. Pure, or substantially pure, sulfur can also be generated during the second operation.

The present invention relates to a selective catalytic reduction catalyst for the treatment of an exhaust gas of a diesel engine comprising: a flow-through substrate comprising an inlet end, an outlet end, a substrate axial length extending from the inlet end to the outlet end and a plurality of passages defined by internal walls of the flow through substrate extending therethrough; a coating disposed on the surface of the internal walls of the substrate, wherein the coating comprises a non-zeolitic oxidic material comprising manganese and one or more of the metals of the groups 4 to 11 and 13 of the periodic table, and further comprises one or more of a vanadium oxide and a zeolitic material comprising one or more of copper and iron.

The present application relates to a process for treating the off gas from a carbon black process, said process comprising the steps of: providing an off gas from a carbon black process, reacting said off gas in a first reaction step forming water and S, and condensing the S at a temperature Tcon where S is in a liquid phase and the water is in gas form thereby achieving a gaseous stream comprising water and a liquid stream comprising S, and wherein the first reaction step is carried out over a monolith catalyst.

The present invention relates to catalyst compositions containing a mixed oxide catalyst of formula (I) or formula (II) as described herein, their preparation, and their use in a process for ammoxidation of various organic compounds to their corresponding nitriles and to the selective catalytic oxidation of excess NH.sub.3 present in effluent gas streams to N.sub.2 and/or NO.sub.x.

An exhaust component for a motor vehicle includes a wall, an internal volume, an inlet, and an outlet. The wall includes a core layer having a surface and a first layer disposed on a portion of the surface. The portion is less than 100 percent of an area of the surface. The core layer has a first composition. The first layer is a cold-sprayed layer. The core layer has a second composition different from the first composition. The first layer reduces surface-radiated noise from the exhaust component during operation of the motor vehicle. The internal volume is at least partially defined by the wall. The inlet is in fluid communication with the internal volume. The outlet is in fluid communication with the internal volume.

Disclosed is a combustion chamber (10) of the carbon dioxide supplier including: a combustion chamber (10) combusting a mixture of air and fuel; an air supply unit supplying an into the combustion chamber (10); and a fuel supply unit supply in a fuel to the combustion chamber (10). Representative Figure is FIG. 6.

A process and system for treating a hydroprocessing unit effluent gas stream for recycling includes introducing the effluent gas stream into a hydrogen purification zone and recovering a hydrogen-rich gas stream and a liquid stream containing a mixture that includes C1 to C4 hydrocarbons and H.sub.2S which is then mixed with an oxidant and fed to an oxidation unit containing catalyst for conversion of the H.sub.2S to elemental sulfur vapors that is separated for recovery of the elemental sulfur, and recovering a sweetened mixture that includes C1 to C4 hydrocarbons. Alternatively, the hydroprocessing unit effluent gas stream containing H.sub.2S is cooled, contacted with a solvent to absorb the C1 to C4 hydrocarbons and H.sub.2S, with the hydrogen-rich stream being recovered for recycling to the hydroprocessing unit, and the rich liquid solvent being flashed to produce a lean solvent stream for recycling to the adsorption zone and a mixed gas stream that includes the C1 to C4 hydrocarbons and H.sub.2S that is passed to an oxidation zone and is reacted with an oxidant in the presence of a catalyst to complete the process as described above for the recovery of elemental sulfur and a mixture that includes the sweetened C1 to C4 hydrocarbons.

A diesel oxidation catalyst composition is provided, the composition including at least one platinum group metal impregnated onto a porous refractory oxide material in particulate form and at least one base metal oxide impregnated onto a porous refractory oxide material in particulate form, wherein the porous refractory oxide material impregnated with at least one platinum group metal and the porous refractory oxide material impregnated with at least one base metal oxide are in the form of a mixture or wherein the at least one platinum group metal and the at least one base metal oxide are impregnated on the same porous refractory oxide material. The diesel oxidation catalyst provides synergistic enhancement of carbon monoxide oxidation as well as relatively unimpaired hydrocarbon oxidation. Methods of making and using the catalyst composition are also provided, as well as emission treatment systems comprising a catalyst article coated with the catalyst composition.

An apparatus for purifying exhaust gas includes: an engine; an exhaust gas air-fuel ratio adjustor for adjusting an air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas; a lean NO.sub.x trap (LNT) mounted on the exhaust pipe and generating ammonia or reducing nitrogen oxides or desorbed nitrogen oxides contained in the exhaust gas using a reducing agent including carbon monoxide, hydrocarbon, or hydrogen contained in the exhaust gas; a three way catalyst (TWC) mounted on the exhaust pipe at a rear end of the LNT, and converting noxious gas in the exhaust gas into harmless components through a redox reaction; and a controller controlling the air-fuel ratio of the exhaust gas to a stoichiometric air-fuel ratio when the nitrogen oxide storage or purification performance of the LNT is in the operating period of the engine less than a predetermined level.
