The present invention shows an exhaust gas aftertreatment system comprising at least a first route and a second route arranged in parallel in an exhaust gas stream, wherein the first route and the second route are provided with exhaust gas aftertreatment subsystems. The exhaust gas aftertreatment subsystems of the first route and the second route use different exhaust gas aftertreatment technologies.

A process for the removal of nitrous oxide from a gas stream having a contaminating concentration of nitrous oxide to provide a gas stream with a significantly reduced concentration of nitrous oxide is described. The process includes the use of a process system having multiple N.sub.2O decomposition reactors each of which contain a nitrous oxide decomposition catalyst and heat transfer units each of which contain a heat sink media that are operatively connected in a particular order and arrangement for use in the process. The gas stream is passed to the process system that is operated for a period of time in a specific operating mode followed by the stopping of such operation and reversal of the process flow. These steps may be repeatedly taken in order to provide for an enhanced energy recovery efficiency for a given nitrous oxide destruction removal efficiency.

A high-end processing device for purification of exhaust of a diesel engine includes a connection channel, a plurality of catalytic converters, a plurality of direct-passage ceramic filters, and at least one wall-flow filter. The catalytic converters are arranged, in a manner of being spaced from each other, at a front portion of an exhaust gas flow path defined by the connection channel. The direct-passage ceramic filters and the wall-flow filter are arranged, in a manner of being spaced from each other, at a rear portion of the exhaust gas flow path of the connection channel. The direct-passage ceramic filters and the wall-flow filter are impregnated with urea or ammonia and dried so as to reduce nitrogen oxides (NOx) into nitrogen and water to reduce impact to the environment.

The present invention provides a process for continuous treatment of high-concentration organic wastewater and a device for continuous treatment of high-concentration organic wastewater. The process of the present application is that: high-concentration organic wastewater is continuously separated through the synergistic interaction of a multilayer evaporator and a heat pump, and the generated wastewater steam containing light components is continuously subjected to desulfurization and catalytic combustion after being mixed with air in a gaseous form, the treated wastewater can meet discharge standards, and heavy components of the generated wastewater can be recycled. After the desulfurizing agent in a first desulfurizer and the catalyst in a first catalytic combustor are deactivated, the generated wastewater steam containing the light components can be switched to a second desulfurizer and a second catalytic combustor for reaction, and air can be introduced into the deactivated catalyst and desulfurizing agent for in-situ regeneration at a high temperature.

A tray including a plate-shaped portion for arranging a plurality of prismatic honeycomb structures having an outer peripheral side surface and partition walls provided on an inner peripheral side of the outer peripheral side surface, the partition walls partitioning a plurality of cells forming flow paths from a first end surface to a second end surface, the plate-shaped portion including: a plurality of corrugated plate-shaped placing portions for placing the prismatic honeycomb structures with the outer peripheral side surface in contact with the placing portions; flat plate-shaped non-placing portions adjacent to each of the corrugated plate-shaped placing portions; and partition walls erected between adjacent corrugated plate-shaped placing portions to prevent the outer peripheral side surfaces of adjacent prismatic honeycomb structures from contacting each other.

A urea water supply system includes: a first supply valve for supplying urea water; a second supply valve for supplying urea water; a supply passage for connecting a urea water tank and the first and the second supply valves; and an electronic control unit (ECU). The supply passage branches to have a first supply passage extending from a branch point to the first supply valve and a second supply passage extending from the branch point to the second supply valve, and a volume of the first supply passage is greater than a volume of the second supply passage. The ECU opens the first supply valve while keeping the second supply valve closed, for starting filling of the supply passage with urea water, and thereafter determines completion of filling of urea water into the first supply passage.

Certain selective catalytic reduction (SCR) articles, systems and methods provide for high NOx conversion while at the same time low N.sub.2O formation. The articles, systems and methods are suitable for instance for the treatment of exhaust gas of diesel engines. Certain articles have zoned coatings containing copper-containing molecular sieves disposed thereon, where for example a concentration of catalytic copper in an upstream zone is lower than the concentration of catalytic copper in a downstream zone.
