An agent for removing a halogen gas, such as chlorine, in a waste gas by means of reduction; a method for producing this agent; a method for removing a halogen gas by use of this agent; and a system for removing a halogen gas. The agent for removing the halogen gas contains at least pseudo-boehmite, that serves as a host material, and a sulfur-containing reducing agent, that serves as a guest material. 1-8% by weight of the reducing agent, in terms of elemental sulfur, based on the total amount of the pseudo-boehmite and sulfur-containing reducing agent is present in the agent. At least one inorganic compound selected from among oxides, carbonates salts and hydrocarbon salts of alkaline earth metal elements, transition metal elements and zinc group elements is additionally contained in the agent as a third component.

The present invention discloses a near-infrared regenerative intelligent fiber-based adsorptive material and a preparation method and use thereof. The material is obtained by chemically grafting a stepwise dual-temperature stimuli-responsive polyethyleneimine onto a carboxylated cellulose nanofiber matrix to prepare a stepwise dual-temperature stimuli-responsive intelligent nanofiber, and combining the stepwise dual-temperature stimuli-responsive intelligent nanofiber with a photosensitizer having near-infrared stimuli-response to prepare a stepwise dual-temperature/near-infrared stimuli-responsive intelligent nanofiber, and then by using a crosslinking agent to directly crosslink and combine the stepwise dual-temperature/near-infrared stimuli-responsive intelligent nanofiber with a hyperbranched polyamine in one step. The material has a stepwise dual-temperature/near-infrared stimuli-response, high density of amino group (greater than 14 mmol/g), and nano cavities.

A method of modifying a chemical interaction between a functional group of an immobilized amine in a solid sorbent composition and a compound that chemically interacts with the functional group to reduce the heat required to desorb the compound from the solid sorbent. A method of inhibiting degradation of an immobilized amine in an immobilized amine solid sorbent. Compositions and methods of use of a low-cost regenerable immobilized amine solid sorbent resistant to degradation.

Process for cleaning an off-gas containing sulphur oxides (SOx), nitrogen oxides (NOx) and particulate matter employing SOx adsorption and ammonia-SCR in one filtration unit, in particular a filter bag house with one or more catalysed fabric filter assemblies.

Process for treating flue gases in a circulating dry scrubber device wherein flue gases containing pollutants pass to a reactor where said flue gases contact a sorbent comprising high pore volume and high specific surface area slaked lime or hydrated lime being further sent to a particulate control device where said sorbent particles are separated from said flue gases substantially depleted in pollutants and form respectively a flow of flue gases substantially depleted in pollutants and a flow of sorbent particles being recycled and returned to said reactor.

This disclosure provides an apparatus and method for improving the flowability of a powder by manipulating its crystal morphology. For example, a method and apparatus for achieving stable fluidization of a powder contained in a vessel.

A filter is provided for removing contaminants from a gas flow (e.g., an air flow). Multiple panel filters are arranged in a filter housing. The panel filters are arranged parallel or near-parallel to a main gas flow direction and spaced apart to define elongated gas flow channels between adjacent panel filters, each elongated gas flow channel extending generally in the gas flow direction. The elongated gas flow channels include inlet channel(s) and outlet channel(a) arranged in an alternating manner, the inlet channel(s) configured receiving the gas flow at the inlet end and the outlet channel(s) outputting a filtered gas flow from the outlet end. Gas flow redirecting structures are arranged to redirect the gas flow in each inlet channel through adjacent panel filter(s) and into adjacent outlet channel(s). The filter may provide a pressure drop of less than 3 iwg, less than 1 iwg, or less than 0.3 iwg.

Calcium hydroxide-containing compositions can be manufactured by slaking quicklime, and subsequently drying and milling the slaked product. The resulting calcium hydroxide-containing composition can have a size, steepness, pore volume, and/or other features that render the compositions suitable for treatment of exhaust gases and/or removal of contaminants. In some embodiments, the calcium hydroxide-containing compositions can include a D.sub.10 from about 0.5 microns to about 4 microns, a D.sub.90 less than about 30 microns, and a ratio of D.sub.90 to D.sub.10 less than 20, wherein individual particles include a surface area greater than or equal to about 25 m.sup.2/g.

Oxygen is removed from a gas feed such as a landfill gas, a digester gas or an industrial CO.sub.2 off-gas by heating the feed gas, optionally removing siloxanes and silanols from the heated feed gas, optionally removing part of the sulfur-containing compounds in the heated feed gas, injecting one or more reactants for oxygen conversion into the heated feed gas, carrying out a selective catalytic conversion of any or all of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) present in the gas, including sulfur-containing compounds, chlorine-containing compounds and any of the reactants injected, in at least one suitable reactor, and cleaning the resulting oxygen-depleted gas. The reactants to be injected comprise one or more of H.sub.2, CO, ammonia, urea, methanol, ethanol and dimethyl ether (DME).
