Принадлежит: Noram International Ltd

A method of processing a stream of liquid chlorine containing nitrogen trichloride from a chloralkali plant. The liquid stream is received into a vaporizer in which it is evaporated 1O1 chlorine gas and nitrogen trichloride gas. The gas stream is processed by destroying the nitrogen trichloride gas, for example in a superheater or a catalytic bed. The processed gas stream is recycled to the chlorine production train of the chloralkali plant. The process avoids the use of organic solvents to decompose the nitrogen trichloride and the creation of a waste stream requiring further handling.

AMMONIA OXIDATION/DECOMPOSITION CATALYST

Номер: US20130156687A1

The present invention provides an ammonia oxidation/decomposition catalyst including a support composed of an oxidizable and reducible metal oxide and a catalytically active metal supported thereon. By bringing the ammonia oxidation/decomposition catalyst including a support composed of an oxidizable and reducible metal oxide and a catalytically active metal supported thereon into contact with ammonia and air at ordinary temperature, the support in a reduced state reacts with oxygen to generate oxidation heat, and the temperature of the catalyst layer is increased in a moment. Once the temperature of the catalyst layer is increased to a temperature at which ammonia and oxygen react with each other, the ammonia oxidation reaction proceeds autonomously after that. The heat generated in this exothermic reaction is used in the course of decomposing ammonia in the presence of the catalytically active metal, thereby producing hydrogen. 2.

A system and method for reducing NOx emissions from a lean burn combustion source is provided. The system includes a blower passing air through a continuous duct having a hot portion and a reaction portion. The hot portion of the duct is positioned in the convective zone of the combustion source to heat the passing air for the reaction portion of the duct. An injector attached to a urea storage container is positioned in the reaction portion of the duct and sprays urea from the storage container into the heated air in the reaction duct for evaporation and decomposition into ammonia gas. The ammonia gas is then supplied to an injection grid in the exhaust duct of the lean burn combustion source upstream of a NOx reduction catalyst. The injection grid supplies the ammonia gas to the exhaust gas in the exhaust duct. 1. A method for reducing NOx emissions from a lean burn combustion source , comprising the steps of:providing an injection grid in a primary exhaust duct of a lean burn combustion source upstream of a NOx reduction catalyst;providing a continuous duct between an air intake and the injection grid, the continuous duct having a hot portion and a reaction portion, the reaction portion connected to the injection grid;passing air from the air intake through the continuous duct, at least a portion of the hot portion of the continuous duct positioned in a convective zone of the lean burn combustion source, the hot portion of the duct having a first average cross-sectional area perpendicular to the passing air, the hot portion of the duct supplying heated air to the reaction portion, the reaction portion having a second average cross-sectional area perpendicular to the passing air;positioning at least one injector in the reaction portion;supplying an aqueous solution of urea from a storage chamber to the at least one injector;injecting the urea solution into the heated air in the reaction portion for evaporation and decomposition into ammonia gas;supplying the ...
