IPC: B01D53/60
Filed: 1996-05-29
Abstract: A system and method for the reduction of NOx in a flue gas are disclosed. A P4 in water liquid/liquid emulsion is injected into a flue gas having a temperature of about 180 DEG  C. to about 280 DEG  C. to induce phosphorus-accelerated oxidation of the NO in the flue gas. NO2 and phosphorus oxides are subsequently removed from the flue gas stream at a location sufficiently downstream of the injection site that the oxidation of NO in the flue gas is substantially complete prior to the removal of NO2. This significantly improves the NOx recovery rate of the present system and method over those of the prior art. The system can be retrofitted to the waste gas stream of any stationary combustion source regardless of the fuel burned. The system is advantageously used in connection with a wet scrubber for the removal of NO2 and other water soluble flue gas components. Injection of the emulsion results in the creation of ozone by means of the controlled oxidation of white phosphorus. The ozone reacts with nitrogen oxide (NO), which generally accounts for 90% of flue gas NOx, to produce nitrogen dioxide (NO2). The reaction products (NO2 and the P4O10,) can be removed from the flue gas together with SO2 and particulates in the wet scrubber wherein they are efficiently transferred from the gaseous phase to the buffered scrubbing liquid. In the scrubber, the temperature gradient is preferably set through the dew point, so that it recovers both latent as well as sensible heat energy from the flue gas which energy can be sold to commercial or residential consumers to recover at least a part of the capital costs (purchase and operation) associated with the system.

Inventor: CAMPBELL FRANK JR
IPC: F27B9/24
Filed: 1980-10-31
Abstract: An insulator suitable for use with a truncated triangular shaped support member or skid pipe having a base member, a pair of converging side members which terminate in an apex member and a pair of shoulders extending oppositely one another from the joinder of the apex member and each corresponding side member. The insulator includes a base unit and a pair of converging side walls. When slidingly received around the skid pipe, the insulator closely conforms to the periphery of the base member and side members of the skid pipe. The side walls of the insulator preferably abut a lower lip of each shoulder so that molten slag and other impurities cannot migrate between the insulator and the skid pipe to degrade and dislodge the insulator. The insulator is secured to the support member by its novel geometry; that is, when the insulator is slidingly received around the structural member, the converging side walls of the insulator bear against the converging side members of the structural member thereby maintaining the insulator in proper position on the structural member.
Patent MX-161197-A (MX)
Inventor: DOUTRE DONALD ALLAN
IPC: G01N33/20
Filed: 1984-03-01
Abstract: The invention provides a new method and apparatus for the detection of non-conductive particulates in molten metals, such as aluminum, gallium, zinc and lead, that can be liquefied and drawn into a suitable refractory container (14). The passage (26) into the container is of very small diameter (about 300 micrometers for aluminum) and it forms part of a current path between two electrodes (24, 29) carrying a current of about 1 to 500 amperes. The path is surrounded by liquid metal which forms an effective Faraday cage screening the path, enabling the passage of a particulate of about 15 micrometers or larger to produce a voltage pulse between the electrodes of greater than 5 microvolts, which is detectable above the inevitable background noise. The size of the pulse gives an indication of the particle size and appropriate measurement and sampling electronically of the pulses gives a rapid evaluation (less than 3 minutes) of the particle size distribution, giving the operator an opportunity of deciding immediately whether or not further cleansing of the metal is required.

Title: Process for preparing core-shell particles suitable as opacifying agents in coating compositions: coating compositions
Inventor: VOGEL MARTIN
IPC: C09D5/00
Filed: 1987-10-30
Abstract: An aqueous dispersion of water-insoluble core-shell particles is prepared by emulsion polymerization for use as an opacifying agent in coatings. The particles have interior cores which are swollen with nonaqueous solvent. The polymeric exterior shells have a glass transition temperature greater than about 50 DEG C in the presence of the nonaqueous solvent. The partition coefficient for the nonaqueous solvent between the interior core polymer phase and the exterior shell polymer phase is at least about 1.25. Coatings compositions formulated using the core-shell particles show increased opacity, as single light scattering microvoids are formed in individual particles when the solvent evaporates and the core collapses inside the rigid exterior shell. Opacity develops even when aqueous coatings containing the particles are dried under high humidity conditions.
