A process for treating effluent streams in a renewable transportation fuel production process is described. One or more of the sour water stream and an acid gas stream are treated directly in thermal oxidation section. The process allows the elimination or size reduction of a sour water stripper unit, waste water treatment plant, and sulfur recovery unit.

Described herein is a an adsorbent and/or absorbent composition, a method of preparing the adsorbent and/or absorbent composition, and method of treating a fluid stream with the adsorbent and/or absorbent composition. Alumina and carbon are combined with polyacrylamide (PAM) powder and water in preferred proportions and impregnates such as Group 1A metal hydroxides. Group 7A salts of Group 1A metals optionally can be added.

A method for producing a high-purity hydrogen chloride gas comprises performing a purification process that includes the steps 1) to 3) below on a byproduct hydrogen chloride gas: 1) a crude hydrochloric acid generation step of allowing water to absorb the byproduct hydrogen chloride gas; 2) a volatile organic impurity-removed hydrochloric acid generation step of bringing the crude hydrochloric acid obtained in the step 1) into contact with an inert gas at a liquid temperature of 20 to 45° C. to dissipate volatile organic impurities; and 3) a high-purity hydrogen chloride gas generation step of supplying the volatile organic impurity-removed hydrochloric acid obtained in the step 2) to a distillation column and performing distillation under conditions of a column bottom temperature of higher than 60° C. and 108° C. or lower and a column top temperature of 60° C. or lower to distill out a high-purity hydrogen chloride gas.

This process comprises quenching and washing with water a gas stream derived from pyrolysis, and separating an aqueous phase from a washed gas stream; compressing, then cooling a washed gas stream; washing the compressed gas stream under pressure; passing the washed gas stream through at least one acid removal unit; drying the acid-depleted gas stream; passing the dry gas stream through at least one impurity removal unit; and feeding the purified gas stream into a cryogenic absorption unit and supplying the cryogenic absorption unit with a hydrocarbon cryogenic solvent to obtain a light gas residue, and a fraction of C.sub.2.sup.+ hydrocarbons.

A pyrolysis method and system are provided that utilizes a multistage dehalogenation method to effectively remove halogen-containing compounds that are present in an initial recycled plastic feedstock. More particularly, the multistage dehalogenation system and process may involve physical sorting the plastic feedstock, melting and separating the feedstock, and subjecting the feedstock a two-stage pyrolysis with intermediate HCl removal.

A composite material is provided comprising a porous polymeric matrix having metal-organic framework (MOF) domains dispersed within the porous polymeric matrix, each of said MOF domains in fluid communication with the external environment through the pores in the porous polymeric matrix. A process of using the composite material to chemically modify or detoxify a chemical warfare agent or a toxic industrial chemical is also provided. The chemical warfare agent or the toxic industrial chemical is brought into contact with a MOF domain within the porous polymeric matrix so that the MOFs adsorb and chemically modify the chemical warfare agent or the toxic industrial chemical. A process for producing such a composite material is also disclosed.

A method of cleaning exhaust gasses, including first placing a plurality of filtration modules into a housing to define a filtration bed, then weighing the filtration bed to determine an unladen weight, filling the filtration bed with filter media to define a laden filtration bed, and weighing the laden filtration bed prior to exposure to exhaust gas. Next, calculating the weight of the filtration media prior to exposure to exhaust gas to determine an initial weight of the filtration media, directing exhaust gas through an inlet into a housing, directing exhaust gas from the inlet through the filtration bed, removing particulates and chemicals from the exhaust gas to define a cleaned gas, and directing the cleaned gas through an outlet. While cleaning the gas, periodically measuring the weight of the filtration bed and calculating the weight gain of the filtration media. When the weight gain of the filtration media exceeds a predetermined value, defining the filtration media as spent media and emptying each respective module of spent media into a container to yield a plurality of respective empty modules and a filled container.
