A system and method for processing unconditioned syngas first removes solids and semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOC), then removes volatile organic compounds (VOC), and then removes at least one sulfur containing compound from the syngas. Additional processing may be performed depending on such factors as the source of syngas being processed, the products, byproducts and intermediate products desired to be formed, captured or recycled and environmental considerations.

A method for reducing the emission of contaminants by a furnace is provided. The method includes forming a bed from a stream of fuel within the furnace; fluidizing the bed with flue gas from the furnace; and heating the fuel within the bed so as to generate char, ash and contaminants. The method further includes capturing the contaminants via the ash.

The present disclosure provides methods to use calcium cobalt zirconium perovskites as oxygen-selective sorbents for the separation of oxygen from a gas mixture such as air. Systems and high temperature oxygen detectors are also provided. In a preferred embodiment, the perovskite is configured as a membrane.

Provided is a wet desulfurization process using a suspension bed. The process comprises mixing desulfurization slurry with a hydrogen sulfide containing gas to obtain a first mixture, and passing the first mixture into a suspension bed reactor from bottom to top, with controlling the first mixture to have a dwell time of 5-60 minutes in the reactor to allow they contact and react sufficiently with each other; and subjecting a second mixture obtained from the reaction to gas liquid separation to produce a purified gas. The process of the present invention may reduce the hydrogen sulfide content in the hydrogen sulfide containing gas from 2.4-140 g/Nm.sup.3 to 50 ppm or less, so that the desulfurization efficiency is 98% or more. The process of the present invention is simple and reasonable, with high desulfurization and regeneration efficiency, simple equipment, little occupation of land and low investment, which is very suitable for industrial promotion.

Aspects of the present disclosure are directed to mixtures and methods for pneumatically conveying powdered materials. A method includes providing a pneumatic conveyance system with a gas stream having a gas velocity; providing particles of sorbent material having a median sorbent particle size d.sub.50, sorbent from 1 m to 28 m; injecting the particles of sorbent material into the gas stream; providing particles of erodant material having a median erodant particle size d.sub.50, erodant of at least 150 m, where the erodant material is provided in an amount from 0.5% to 3% by weight of the particles of sorbent material; and injecting the particles of erodant material into the gas stream, where the gas velocity is sufficient to entrain the particles of sorbent material and sufficient to convey the particles of erodant material. A mixture of sorbent material and erodant material is also disclosed.
