Catalytic Oxidation of Volatile Organic Liquids

Metal oxide and supported-Pt catalysts were developed for complete oxidation of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and other solvent-derived organic vapors (OVs) in air at relatively low temperatures. The goal for this work is to produce a simple, cost-effective technology for reducing the concentration of organic contaminants in air to acceptable levels before the air is released into the atmosphere or recirculated. Specific applications include ventilated work spaces for spray painting and engine maintenance, indoor air decontamination, dry cleaning, food processing, fume hoods, residential use, and solvent-intensive industrial processes. Catalyst powders and monolith-supported catalysts were screened for conversion of 1-butanol, toluene, and methyl ethyl ketone to carbon dioxide and water. The concentration of OVs in the feedstream was maintained at approximately 100 ppmv, and the space velocity was between 6,000 and 18,000 h?1. Metal oxide catalysts without Pt generated complete conversion of 1-butanol to CO2 at 150°C, 69% conversion at 100°C, and 15% conversion at 80°C. For toluene, complete conversion was achieved at 200°C, and greater than 75% conversion at 150°C. Addition of Pt to the metal oxide compositions typically lowered the temperature for a given OV oxidation rate by at least 20–50°C. Catalysts deposited onto standard commercial cordierite monoliths retained their composition and activity, and were stable in humid air, as well as nitrogen- and chlorine-containing OVs. However, the catalysts quickly deactivated in the presence of sulfur and phosphorus.     

Applications of Low-Temperature Regenerative Thermal Oxidizers to Treat Volatile Organic Compounds

A series of plant scale low temperature regenerative thermal oxidizers (LTRTOs) equipped with heating wires were constructed to treat volatile organic compounds (VOCs) laden gas streams. All regenerative beds were packed with gravel (approximate particle size 1.25 cm, specific area 205 m2/m3, and specific heat capacity 840 J/kg?°C) and equipped with K-type thermocouples for measuring gas temperatures. Test gas streams were extracted from manufacturing sections of varnishing, semiconductor packing, and petrochemical plants, representing a variety of gas-phase pollutants, including several commercial solvents. Experimental results indicate that 98% or greater treatment of VOCs with concentrations between 100 and 7,000 ppm as methane. Analysis of gas temperature variation with time at various bed depths confirm that VOC degradation occurs at temperatures ranging from 300 to 440°C, which are much lower than autoignition points of tested compounds. A 1.0 s gas residence time in the oxidation zone of regenerative beds is required for successful LTRTO operation.     

Catalytic Incineration of C2H5SH and Its Mixture with CH3SH over a Pt/Al2O3 Catalyst

Catalytic incineration is one of the cost-effective technologies to solve troublesome volatile organic compounds. However, some sulfur containing volatile organic compounds, such as ethyl mercaptan, may deactivate the Pt catalyst that is commonly used in the catalytic incineration process. This paper provides information on the poisoning effect of ethyl mercaptan. The catalytic incineration of ethyl mercaptan, typically emitted from the petrochemical industry, over a Pt/Al2O3 fixed-bed catalytic reactor was studied. The effects of operating parameters including inlet temperature, space velocity, C2H5SH concentration, O2 concentration, and catalyst size were characterized. Catalytic incineration on a mixture of C2H5SH with CH3SH was also tested. The results show that the conversions of C2H5SH increase as the inlet temperature increases and the space velocity decreases. For the temperature from 200–260°C, the higher the C2H5SH concentration is, the lower its conversion. The O2 concentration has a positive effect on the conversion of C2H5SH. C2H5SH has a poisoning effect on the Pt/Al2O3 catalyst, especially at lower temperature. The existence of CH3SH has no effects on the conversion of C2H5SH.     

Thermal Behavior of Activated Carbon Cloths Heated by Joule Effect

Activated carbon cloths (ACC) are promising adsorbents for the treatment of air loaded with volatile organic compounds (VOC). Their characteristics and properties allow them particularly high adsorption capacities and useful handling. Moreover, the Joule effect regeneration of these media may be used as a regeneration process. These peculiarities make it possible to design and size ACC filters for a wide range of industrial applications: low VOC concentration and flow for indoor air quality as well as high concentration and flow in some industrial effluents. Hence, innovating reactors could be equipped with such an adsorption-desorption process which permit us to recover the condensed compounds. The heating of ACC by Joule effect (between 20 and 250°C) is generally highly homogeneous, and the spatial distribution of the temperatures is directly connected to the activation level distribution in the material. A characterization method and a modeling approach are proposed to describe the ACC thermal behavior and to compare and select the best media in term of regeneration process. This allows sizing of future industrial processes.     

Catalytic Decomposition of CFC-12 over Solid Superacid Mo2O3/ZrO2

Catalytic decomposition of dichlorodifluoromethane (CFC-12) in the presence of water vapor and oxygen was studied over a series of solid superacids, Mo2O3/ZrO2, that had different ZrO2 content by using a fixed-bed reactor. CO2 and CClF3 were the main products and no CO was detected as by-product. The decomposition activity of solid superacid largely depended on the content of ZrO2 and the calcination temperatures of Mo2O3/ZrO2. The optimal calcination temperature and content of ZrO2 for preparing Mo2O3/ZrO2 with the highest activity for catalytic decomposition of CFC-12 were 450°C and 20–40% by weight, respectively. Adopting a low concentration of oxygen and CFC-12 together with a high concentration of water vapor was preferable for having the high conversion efficiency of CFC-12 and the selectivity for CO2. The catalytic activity of Mo2O3/ZrO2 remained steady for 100?h in continuous operation.

Nd2O3 was used to support Al2O3 and ZnO to prepare a supported solid base catalyst and investigate the effect of catalyst and reaction conditions on the synthesis of tert-butyl acetate. The composited oxide of Nd2O3/Al2O3-Nd2O3/ZnO exhibited excellent catalytic activity for the synthsis of tert-butyl acetate. The molar ratio of tert-butanol to acetic anhydride is 31, the catalyst in total amount of reactant nearly 0.5%, and reaction time 6 h. With the above conditions, yield of the reaction could reach to 65%. The structure of product were verified by the FT-IR, Element analysis, and MS, which proved that the product was tert-butyl acetate.

Wettability of silicon carbide ceramic by Al2O3/Dy2O3 and Al2O3/Yb2O3 systems

Wettability is an important phenomenon in the liquid phase sintering of silicon carbide (SiC) ceramics. This work involved a study of the wetting of SiC ceramics by two oxide systems, Al₂O₃ /Dy₂O₃ and Al₂O₃ /Yb₂O₃, which have so far not been studied for application in the sintering of SiC ceramics. Five mixtures of each system were prepared, with different compositions close to their respective eutectic ones. Samples of the mixtures were pressed into cylindrical specimens, which were placed on a SiC plate and subjected to temperatures above their melting points using a graphite resistance furnace. The behavior of the melted mixtures on the SiC plate was observed by means of an imaging system using a CCD camera and the sessile drop method was employed to determine the contact angle, the parameter that measures the degree of wettability. The results of variation in the contact angle as a function of temperature were plotted in graphic form which showed that the curves displayed a fast decline and good spreading. All the samples of the two systems presented final contact angles of 40° to 10° indicating their good wetting on SiC in the argon atmosphere. The melted/solidified area and interface between SiC and melted/solidified phase were evaluated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and their crystalline phases were identified by X-ray diffraction (DRX). The DRX analysis showed that Al₂O₃ and RE₂O₃ reacted and formed the Dy₃Al₅O₁₂ (DyAg) and Yb₃Al₅O₁₂ (YbAg) phases. The results indicated that the two systems had a promising potential as additives for the sintering of SiC ceramics.     

Immobilization of Chromium in Slags using MgO and Al2O3

Chromium containing slags from stainless steelmaking may be leached by acidic environments, therefore they should be treated before being stockpiled or land filled. In this work, synthetic slags were prepared and the effect of CaO/SiO₂, Cr₂O₃, MgO and Al₂O₃ contents on the stability of the mineralogical species formed was analysed. The morphology and composition of the slags were determined by XRD and SEM‐EDS, whilst their chemical stability was evaluated by leaching with an aqueous acetic acid solution. It was found that CaCr₂O₄ and CaCrO₄ are present in slags prepared with neither MgO nor Al₂O₃. The Al₂O₃‐based slags mainly produced Ca₂Al₂SiO₇ and the Cr(VI)‐containing oxide complex Ca₄Al₆CrO₁₆, whilst MgO‐based slags produced Mg Cr₂O₄ as main mineralogical species. Additionally, Eh‐pH diagrams for the Ca‐Cr‐H₂O and Mg‐Cr‐H₂O systems at 25°C were constructed. The results showed that the lowest chromium concentration levels in the leaching liquors corresponded to MgO‐based slags owing to the stable binding of chromium in spinel with MgO. It was also observed in the Al₂O₃‐based slags that when increasing the slag basicity from 1 to 2, the leachability of the slags was notably increased.

Effect of Moisture on the Adsorption of Volatile Organic Compounds by Zeolite 13×

The adsorption of volatile methanol, acetone, and benzene onto zeolite 13× was studied in the presence of water vapor. Breakthrough curves for these volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were measured by using a gas-phase Fourier transformation infrared (FT-IR) spectrometer instead of a gas chromatograph (GC) because a gas-phase FT-IR spectrometer provides a more rapid response to the change of gas concentration than that of GC. To observe the influences of humidity (i.e., water vapor) on the performance of zeolite 13× during the VOC adsorption, the adsorption experiments were carried out at three different initial concentrations and two humidity conditions for each VOC. The results showed a significant influence of increased humidity on the breakthrough time, the shapes of breakthrough curves, and the uptake of VOCs. For the case of the benzene and water vapor coadsorption system, the presence of the moisture caused a greater decrease in the VOC uptake as well as the breakthrough time than for the other VOC–water coadsorption systems. A modified Freundlich-type isotherm was introduced in this study to describe the decrease in the uptake of VOCs in the presence of the moisture. This modified empirical equation provided a good fit to experimental results, with an average error of 8%.
