Book Catalysts for Low Temperature Decomposition of VOCs

Download or read book Catalysts for Low Temperature Decomposition of VOCs written by and published by . This book was released on 2000 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eltron Research, Inc., is currently developing multicomponent metal-oxide and supported noble-metal catalysts for the destruction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air at low temperatures. The goal for this work is to produce a simple, cost-effective technology for reducing the concentration of VOCs in air to acceptable levels before the air is released into the atmosphere or recirculated. Specific application areas include ventilated work spaces for spray painting and engine maintenance (degreasing and fuel line repair), indoor air decontamination, dry cleaning, food processing (grills and deep fat fryers), fume hoods, residential use, and solvent-intensive industrial processes. The components of the catalysts were chosen based on their anticipated oxygen surface mobility, resistance to poisoning, multiple oxidations states, and documented activity for oxidation reactions. Catalysts were screened with and without dispersed platinum for conversion of 1-butanol, toluene, and methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) into carbon dioxide and water. The concentrations of VOCs in the feedstream were maintained at 100 ppm, and the space velocity was between 1,000 and 26,000/hr. Catalysts with the best overall performance in the absence of noble metals generated complete conversion of 1-butanol into CO2 at 150 deg. C, 47% conversion at 100 deg. C, and 15% conversion at 80 deg. C. For toluene these catalysts generated complete conversion at 200 deg. C, and conversions as high as 75% at 150 deg. C. Adding Platinum to these materials further improved low-temperature activity and routinely allowed greater than 50% conversion of VOCs to CO2 at temperatures of 100 deg. C and lower. Although it was generally found that catalyst destruction decreased in the order 1 -butanol>MEK>toluene, some of the most-active materials demonstrated different trends, as well as large disparities in activity for these VOCs.

Book Low Temperature Catalytic Oxidation of Airborne Organic Materials

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eltron Research Inc. has developed multi-component metal oxide catalysts for destruction of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in air at low temperatures. The goal for this work is to produce a simple, cost-effective technology for reducing the concentration of VOCs 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 (degreasing and fuel line repair), indoor air decontamination, dry cleaning, food processing (grills and deep fryers), fume hoods, residential use, and solvent-intensive industrial processes. The components of the catalysts were chosen based on their anticipated oxygen surface mobility, moisture tolerance, multiple oxidation states, and documented activity for oxidation reactions. Catalyst powders and monolith- supported catalysts were screened for conversion of 1 -butanol, toluene, and MEK to carbon dioxide and water. The concentrations of VOCs in the feedstream were maintained at ^100 ppm, and the space velocity was ^6,000 hr( -1). Catalysts highlighted in this document generated complete conversion of 1-butanol to CO2 at l50C, 69% conversion at lOOC, and 15% conversion at 80C. For toluene, complete conversion was achieved at 200C, and greater than 30% conversion at 150C. Catalysts deposited onto cordierite monoliths retained their composition and activity, and were stable in humid air. However, sulfur- and phosphorous-containing compounds quickly poisoned these catalysts through formation of sulfates and phosphates.

Book Calorimetry and Thermal Methods in Catalysis

Download or read book Calorimetry and Thermal Methods in Catalysis written by Aline Auroux and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-09-18 with total page 569 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is about calorimetry and thermal analysis methods, alone or linked to other techniques, as applied to the characterization of catalysts, supports and adsorbents, and to the study of catalytic reactions in various domains: air and wastewater treatment, clean and renewable energies, refining of hydrocarbons, green chemistry, hydrogen production and storage. The book is intended to fill the gap between the basic thermodynamic and kinetics concepts acquired by students during their academic formation, and the use of experimental techniques such as thermal analysis and calorimetry to answer practical questions. Moreover, it supplies insights into the various thermal and calorimetric methods which can be employed in studies aimed at characterizing the physico-chemical properties of solid adsorbents, supports and catalysts, and the processes related to the adsorption desorption phenomena of the reactants and/or products of catalytic reactions. The book also covers the basic concepts for physico-chemical comprehension of the relevant phenomena. Thermodynamic and kinetic aspects of the catalytic reactions can be fruitfully investigated by means of thermal analysis and calorimetric methods, in order to better understand the sequence of the elemental steps in the catalysed reaction. So the fundamental theory behind the various thermal analysis and calorimetric techniques and methods also are illustrated.

Book Catalysts for the Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide at Low Temperatures

Download or read book Catalysts for the Oxidation of Carbon Monoxide at Low Temperatures written by and published by . This book was released on 1979 with total page 28 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Four catalysts (hopcalite, Whetlerite, a supported palladium, and a supported platinum) were tested for efficiency in promoting the oxidation of carbon monoxide (CO). At room temperature and 50% RH, hopcalite has no catalytic capability and platinum has practically none. At room temperature and 15% RH, hopcalite is superior to platinum in catalyzing the oxidation of CO. Hopcalite is more efficient than either of the other three catalysts in the 52 to 66 C (125 to 150 F) temperature range at both humidities. Platinum and palladium are superior to both hopcalite and Whetlerite at both humidities in the 113 to 135 C (235 to 275 F) temperature range. Higher humidity decreases the CO-oxidizing capabilities of hopcalite and Whetlerite but does not do so for platinum and palladium. Whetlerite is in the lower-performing group of catalysts under all except one of the different conditions used in the tests. For the hopcalite, palladium, and platinum catalysts there is a temperature below 135 C (275 F) and above 68 C (155 F) at which CO can be oxidized efficiently.
