Described are boron oxide-containing adsorbents that include porous adsorbent base and boron oxide on surfaces of the base, as well as devices that include the boron oxide-containing adsorbent, and related methods of preparing and using the boron oxide-containing adsorbent.

A system and process for the recovery of at least one halogenated hydrocarbon from a gas stream. The recovery includes adsorption by exposing the gas stream to an adsorbent with a lattice structure having pore diameters with an average pore opening of between about 5 and about 50 angstroms. The adsorbent is then regenerated by exposing the adsorbent to a purge gas under conditions which efficiently desorb the at least one adsorbed halogenated hydrocarbon from the adsorbent. The at least one halogenated hydrocarbon (and impurities or reaction products) can be condensed from the purge gas and subjected to fractional distillation to provide a recovered halogenated hydrocarbon.

The present invention discloses an industrial solid waste incinerator and flue gas treatment apparatus, comprising a water-cooled feed hopper, a water-cooled grate and a chamber which are connected in sequence. A front arch, a rear arch and side walls which are formed of membrane water-cooled walls, are provided between the water-cooled grate and the chamber, and a dechlorination tower is arranged behind the chamber. Two sets of rear secondary air pipes, which comprise an upper set of rear secondary air pipes and a lower set of rear secondary air pipes, are arranged on the rear arch, and a dry desulfurization device is arranged between the two sets of rear secondary air pipes, so that the reaction medium and the flue gas are sufficiently disturbed and mixed, and stroke is extended.

Disclosed are a flue gas purification and waste heat utilization system and method. The system comprises a flue gas exhaust unit, a primary waste heat utilization unit, a primary flue gas purification unit, a secondary waste heat utilization unit and a secondary flue gas purification unit that are sequentially connected in a flue gas flow direction, wherein the primary flue gas purification unit is configured for removing NO.sub.x, large particles and CO in the flue gas, the secondary flue gas purification unit is configured for removing NO.sub.x and dioxin in the flue gas, an ammonia-spraying device is externally connected between the flue gas exhaust unit and the primary waste heat utilization unit, and the ammonia-spraying device is configured for injecting ammonia gas into the flue gas exhausted from the flue gas exhaust unit.

A process for the purification of CO.sub.2 from chlorinated hydrocarbons and non-chlorinated hydrocarbons, comprising: contacting a CO.sub.2 stream with a chromium oxide catalyst, wherein the stream comprises the CO.sub.2, and impurities, wherein the impurities comprise the non-chlorinated hydrocarbons and the chlorinated hydrocarbons; forming a purified CO.sub.2 stream by interacting the impurities with the chromium oxide catalyst to form additional CO.sub.2 and chromium chloride; and regenerating the chromium oxide catalyst by contacting the chromium chloride with an oxygen containing gas stream.

A flue gas is cleaned by feeding same to a filtering separator. The filtering separator is accommodated in a housing, and the housing has a pre-filter side ahead of the filtering separator and a clean side following the filtering separator in the flue gas flow direction. A filter element has an adsorbent formed of dust-free spheroidal charcoal on the clean side of the housing. The flue gas flows through the adsorbent in the filter element. Harmful substances from the group including mercury and/or dioxin and/or furan and/or further heavy metals are thereby removed from the flue gas.

The present invention relates to an adsorption filter including activated carbon and a fibrillated fibrous binder, in which the activated carbon has a 0% particle diameter (D0) of 10 μm or more in a volume-based cumulative particle-size distribution and has a 50% particle diameter (D50) of 90 to 200 μm in the volume-based cumulative particle-size distribution; the fibrillated fibrous binder has a CSF value of 10 to 150 mL; and the adsorption filter includes 4 to 8 parts by mass of the fibrillated fibrous binder relative to 100 parts by mass of the activated carbon.

A method and device for waste gas dedusting and a dedusting agent used in the method. A dust-containing waste gas (1) and an organic dedusting agent (4) are introduced into a dedusting tower (3), respectively, and make contact with each other in the tower; at least part of the water vapor in the dust-containing waste gas (1) is condensed, and the organic dedusting agent (4) and the condensed water adsorb solid particles, acidic pollutants, organic pollutants and/or heavy metal compounds in the dust-containing waste gas; and the resulting purified gas (2) is emptied out or subjected to a subsequent process. The organic dedusting agent (4) comprises a non-toxic and high boiling point organic solvent composition, being two or more selected from cooking oil, silicone oil, modified silicone oil, liquid-state asphalt oil, tung tree seed oil, liquid-state paraffin wax oil, mineral oil, palm oil and waste cooking oil.

Disclosed herein are base metal catalyst devices for removing ozone, volatile organic compounds, and other pollutants from an air flow stream. A catalyst device includes a housing, a solid substrate disposed within the housing, and a catalyst layer disposed on the substrate. The catalyst layer includes a first base metal catalyst at a first mass percent, a second base metal catalyst at a second mass percent, and a support material impregnated with at least one of the first base metal catalyst or the second base metal catalyst. The preferred catalyst composition is a combination of manganese oxide and copper oxide.

The present invention provides processes for filtering undesired chemicals in streams of contaminated air for supply to confined areas. The processes provide (1) contacting air with a filter comprising by volume from about 5% to about 95% impregnated zirconium hydroxide, from about 5% to about 95% activated impregnated carbon, and optionally, up to about 50% ammonia removal material; and (2) supplying the contacted air to a confined area.
