Deactivation of V2O5-WO3-TiO2 SCR catalyst at a biomass-fired combined heat and power plant

The deactivation of a commercial type V₂O₅-WO₃-TiO₂ monolith catalyst under biomass combustion was studied at a full-scale grate-fired power plant burning straw/wood using a slip stream pilot scale reactor. The aerosols in the flue gas consisted of a mixture of potassium chloride and sulphate. Three catalyst elements were exposed at 350 °C, and one element was exposed at 250 °C for comparison. The catalyst activity was measured in the reactor at the exposure temperature by addition of NH₃ and extra NO. The activity, in terms of a first-order rate constant, dropped by 52% after about 1140 h indicating a very fast deactivation compared to coal firing. It was also found that the reactor temperature was not of importance for the deactivation rate. SEM-EDX analysis showed that particle deposition and pore blocking contributed to the deactivation by decreasing the diffusion rate of NO and NH₃ into the catalyst. However, potassium also penetrated into the catalyst wall and the resulting average K/V ratio in the catalyst structure was high enough (about 0.3–0.5) for a significant chemical deactivation. Chemisorption studies carried out in situ showed that the amount of chemisorbed NH₃ on the catalyst decreased as a function of exposure time, which reveals that Brøndsted acid sites had reacted with potassium compounds and thereby rendered inactive. When washed by 0.5 M H₂SO₄ the regenerated catalyst regains a higher activity than that of the fresh catalyst at temperatures higher than 300 °C, but even though reactivation is possible, the deactivation rate appears too high for practical use of the SCR process in straw combustion.     

裂隙岩体边坡稳定性的渗流与应力耦合分析

用裂隙岩体渗流与应力耦合分析的四自由度全耦合法对岩质边坡进行耦合分析,通过强度折减有限元法求解岩体边坡的稳定安全系数。四自由度全耦合法建立了同时以渗流水压和位移为未知量的耦合方程组,使得渗流场与应力场的求解能够一次性完成,与两场交叉迭代分析方法相比达到了彻底的完全耦合。通过强度折减,整个系统达到不稳定状态,有限元计算将不收敛,此时的折减系数就是安全系数。算例表明由此求得的边坡稳定安全系数和滑动面都与传统方法十分接近。     

Inhibiting and deactivating effects of water on the selective catalytic reduction of nitric oxide with ammonia over MnOx/Al2O3

The effect of water on the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of nitric oxide with ammonia over alumina supported with 2–15 wt.-% manganese oxide was investigated in the temperature range 385–600 K, with the emphasis on the low side of this temperature window. Studies on the effect of 1–5 vol.-% water vapour on the SCR reaction rate and selectivity were combined with TPD experiments to reveal the influence of water on the adsorption of the single SCR reactants. It turned out that the activity decrease due to water addition can be divided into a reversible inhibition and an irreversible deactivation. Inhibition is caused by molecular adsorption of water. TPD studies showed that water can adsorb competitively with both ammonia and nitric oxide. Additional kinetic experiments revealed that adsorbed ammonia is present in excess on the catalyst surface, even in the presence of water. Reduced nitric oxide adsorption is responsible for the observed reversible decrease in the reaction rate; the fractional reaction order changes from 0.79 in the absence of water to 1.07 in its presence. Deactivation is probably due to the dissociative adsorption of water, resulting in the formation of additional surface hydroxyls. As the amount of surface hydroxyls formed is limited to a saturation level, the deactivating effect on the catalyst is limited too. The additional hydroxyls condense and desorb in the temperature range 525–775 K, resulting in a lower degree of deactivation at higher temperature. A high temperature treatment at 775 K results in a complete regeneration. The amount of surface hydroxyls formed per unit surface area decreases at increasing MnO_x-loading. The selectivity to the production of nitrogen is enhanced significantly by the presence of gas phase water.

On the boundary-layer control through momentum injection: Studies with applications

The concept of moving surface boundary-layer control, as applied to a Joukowsky airfoil, is investigated through a planned experimental programme complemented by numerical studies. The moving surface was provided by rotating cylinders located at the leading edge and/or trailing edge as well as top surface of the airfoil. Results suggest that the concept is quite promising, leading to a substantial increase in lift and a delay in stall. Depending on the performance desired, appropriate combinations of cylinder geometry, location and speed can be selected to obtain favourable results over a wide range of angle of attack. Next, effectiveness of the concept in reducing drag of bluff bodies such as a two-dimensional flat plate at large angles of attack, rectangular prisms and three-dimensional models of trucks is assessed through an extensive wind tunnel test-programme. Results show that injection of momentum through moving surfaces, achieved here by introduction of bearing-mounted, motordriven, hollow cylinders, can significantly delay separation of the boundary-layer and reduce the pressure drag. The momentum injection procedure also proved effective in arresting wind-induced vortex resonance and galloping type of instabilities. A flow visualization study, conducted in a closed-circuit water tunnel using slit lighting and polyvinyl choride tracer particles, adds to the wind-tunnel and numerical investigations. It shows, rather dramatically, the effectiveness of the moving surface boundary-layer control (MSBC).

CO2 abatement by co-firing of natural gas and biomass-derived gas in a gas turbine

In this work, a possible way for partial CO₂ emissions reduction from gas turbine exhausts by co-firing with biomass is investigated. The basic principle is the recirculation of a fraction of the exhausts (still rich in oxygen) to a gasifier, in order to produce syngas to mix with natural gas fuel. As biomass is a CO₂ neutral fuel, the fraction of replaced natural gas is a measure of CO₂ removal potential of the powerplant.
