MULTIPLE OSCILLATIONS AT HIGH RATES OF HOMOGENEOUS NUCLEATION

Regular, sustained oscillatory nucleation has been observed in supersaturated vapor systems involving only homogeneous nucleation and droplet growth. The oscillation frequency is approximately 4 hz and appears to be modulated with secondary, lower frequency oscillations possible arising from hydrodynamic instabilities in the working fluid pool below the nucleation region.     

MATHEMATICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION ON NOX RECOVERY IN FLUIDIZED BED ADSORBERS FOR EXHAUST GASES OF NITRIC ACID PLANTS

A mathematical model for sorption of NOx from exhaust gas of nitric acid plants by activated carbon (AC) in a fluidized bed is proposed based on two-phase flow theory of fluidization. To solve the proposed model a computer program has been developed. The output of this program reveals the effects of various parameters such as temperature, inlet gas velocity, particle diameter, and inlet gas concentration on the rate of adsorption. To evaluate the proposed model, a pilot-scale plant was erected and the obtained experimental data were compared with the values predicted by the model. A good agreement is observed between these values. Once the validity of the proposed model is checked, it could be used for obtaining the optimum operating condition for this type of bed.

Advanced Oxidative Removal of Nitric Oxide from Flue Gas by Homogeneous Photo‐Fenton in a Photochemical Reactor

In this work, advanced oxidation removal of nitric oxide (NO) from flue gas by homogeneous Photo‐Fenton was investigated in a photochemical reactor and the effects of several influencing factors on NO removal were evaluated. The gas‐liquid reaction products were determined. The reaction pathways of NO removal are also preliminarily discussed. It was found that with the increase of Fe²⁺ concentration, NO removal efficiency first increased and then decreased. Increasing H₂O₂ concentration and UV radiation intensity greatly increased NO removal efficiency, but the growth rates gradually became smaller. NO removal efficiency greatly reduced with the increase of gas flow and NO concentration, and only slightly decreased with the increase of solution temperature, but significantly increased with the increase of initial solution pH value. The main anion product in the liquid phase was NO₃^–. With respect to removal of NO using homogeneous Photo‐Fenton, ·OH oxidation was the main reaction pathway, and H₂O₂ oxidation was the secondary reaction pathway.     

SCRUBBING OF NITROGEN OXIDES WITH NITRIC ACID SOLUTIONS

A mathematical model is developed for an equilibrium stage analysis of nitrogen oxides absorption in nitric acid solutions. Using equilibrium data available from the literature, the model demonstrates that 15-35 wt% nitric acid may be efficiently used to reduce pollutant emissions in NO_x-containing gases having low degree of oxidation. Lower oxides of nitrogen accumulate in the liquid as nitrous acid which is carried away by the nitric acid solution. The scrubbed gas contains a reduced concentration of nitrogen oxides and has a higher degree of oxidation than the feed gas.

Response surface study of the performance of lean NOx storage catalysts as a function of reaction conditions and catalyst composition

NO_x storage and reduction (NSR) catalysts containing Pt, Ba and Fe were studied as a function of reaction conditions and catalyst composition using response surface methodology combined with high-throughput experimentation. The concentrations of the reactant gases and the reactor temperature were varied to probe their effect on catalyst performance, as quantified by lean NO_x storage and N₂O production. An empirical model relating the catalyst performance to five reaction condition variables and three metal weight loading variables has also been developed. It was found that the temperature and the concentrations of the reducing agents, i.e. carbon monoxide and ethylene, had the strongest effect on the lean NO_x storage. It was also found that the Pt and Ba weight loadings had a much greater effect than Fe weight loadings on the performance of NSR catalysts. This model provides insight about the factors controlling the NO_x conversion by NSR catalysts and also predicts the optimum catalyst composition for given reaction conditions and vice versa. As an additional study, the relationship between sulfur poisoning, nitrous oxide production, and exotherm generation was also explored.     

Effect of yttrium on the performances of zirconia based catalysts for the decomposition of N2O at high temperature

Abatement processes for the reduction of N₂O emissions from acid nitric plants can be implemented in different positions. Among the different possibilities, a catalytic process set up between the ammonia converter and the absorber could be a practicable solution. In those running conditions, at high temperature, in the presence of NO, O₂ and water, the catalytic decomposition of N₂O (in the absence of a reducing agent) can take place. However, catalysts usually suffer from a strong deactivation owing to the occurrence of thermal sintering which significantly lowers their specific surface area. Catalytic testing performed at laboratory scale showed that zirconia based catalysts stabilised by yttrium incorporation could be of potential interest. However, the mode of yttrium incorporation seems to be a key factor. According to the preparation procedure, surface yttrium enrichment may occur and then strongly inhibit the catalytic decomposition of N₂O. Co-precipitation methods can be profitably used for the preparation of modified-ZrO₂ catalysts in order to obtain yttrium homogeneously distributed in the bulk material. According to this preparation method, a synergy effect on the catalytic activity and also on the stability has been observed on ZrO₂ containing low amount of yttrium whereas an inhibiting effect prevails on highly loaded yttrium based catalysts irrespective of the mode of yttrium incorporation.

Catalytic decomposition of N2O on supported Pd catalysts: Support and thermal ageing effects on the catalytic performances

This study is devoted to the catalytic decomposition of N₂O over noble metal-based catalysts under lean conditions in the presence of O₂, NO and water. A particular attention has been paid toward the influence of the support and the thermal ageing-induced effects on the catalytic properties of palladium species. In those operating conditions, the deposition of palladium on reducible supports, such as LaCoO₃, leads to higher activity in comparison with conventional supports such as alumina. Surface reconstructions take place during thermal ageing under reactive conditions on pre-reduced perovskite-based catalysts which lead to a significant rate enhancement in the decomposition of N₂O. On the other hand, it was found that oxygen and water strongly inhibit the surface reconstructions associated with changes in the selectivity towards the production of NO₂.
