20130109562, May 2, 2013

Filed:

Aug 16, 2012

Appl. No.:

13/587140

Inventors:

Joseph M. Wong - Castle Rock CO, US
Robert B. Huston - Longmont CO, US
Christopher Vizcaino - Littleton CO, US
Frederick S. Cannon - State College PA, US

Assignee:

ADA Carbon Solutions, LLC - Littleton CO

International Classification:

B01J 20/20
B01J 20/00

US Classification:

502181, 502100

Abstract:

A multi-functional composition of matter that is useful for injection into a flue gas stream to rapidly and efficiently remove mercury from the flue gas stream. The multi-functional composition of matter may include a fixed carbon sorbent and minerals, halogens in the form of halide salts, as well as other physical and chemical properties to enhance (1) the oxidation reaction kinetics for the oxidation of mercury species and (2) the mass diffusion kinetics of the mercury species.

Appl. No.:

8/667260

Inventors:

Frederick S. Cannon - State College PA
Frederick R. Brant - Berline PA

Assignee:

The Penn State Research Foundation - University Park PA

International Classification:

B08B 308

US Classification:

134 1

Abstract:

A new aqueous-based process for cleaning organic residues from industrial equipment, reactor vessels, pipelines, valves, manufactured products, industrial components, and appurtenances. The invention employs hydrogen peroxide, and can be aided by iron and/or other catalysts or enhancers. The process is used to clean glass, stainless steel, metal, ceramic, or plastic surfaces that have become soiled, coated, or sorbed with organic material from pharmaceutical, food processing, industrial, biological, or manufacturing practices, including, but not limited to, food grease, machinery grease, oils, asphalt tar, pharmaceutical tar, biological fermentation products, polysaccharides, paints, organic dyes, glues, rubber cement, xanthan gum, aliphatic materials, or aromatic materials. Said organic material that can be removed includes solid, gelatenous, or viscous materials that coat, cling, sorb, or stick to surfaces.

Abstract:

A multi-functional composition of matter that is useful for injection into a flue gas stream to rapidly and efficiently remove mercury from the flue gas streams, particularly at above average flue stream temperatures of about 340 F. or higher. The multi-functional composition of matter may include a fixed carbon content of at least about 20 wt. %, a mineral content of from about 20 wt. % to about 50 wt. %, a sum of micropore plus mesopore volume of at least about 0.20 cc/g, a micropore volume to mesopore volume ratio of at least about 0.7, and a tapped density of not greater than about 0.575 g/ml. These compositions may be further characterized by number of particles per gram of the composition of matter such that the composition may have at least about 0.8 billion particles per gram, or even as many as 1.5 billion particles per gram. These physical and chemical properties may enhance (1) the oxidation reaction kinetics for the oxidation of mercury species, (2) frequency of contact events, and (3) capture and sequestration of mercury, to achieve efficient mercury capture by the composition even in high temperature flue gas streams.
