Utility systems as sources of waste. The principal sources of utility waste are associated with hot utilities (including cogeneration systems) and cold utilities. Furnaces, steam boilers, gas turbines, and diesel engines all produce waste from products of combustion. The principal problem here is the emission of carbon dioxide, oxides of sulfur and nitrogen, and particulates (metal oxides, unbumt... 

Fuel switch. The choice of fuel used in furnaces and steam boilers has a major effect on the gaseous utility waste from products of combustion. For example, a switch from coal to natural gas in a steam boiler can lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions of typically 40 percent for the same heat released. This results from the lower carbon content of natural gas. In addition, it is likely that a switch from coal to natural gas also will lead to a considerable reduction in both SO, and NO, emissions, as we shall discuss later. 

Carbon dioxide, COj. Sublimes — 78 5 C. A colourless gas at room temperature, occurs naturally and plays an important part in animal and plant respiration. Produced by the complete combustion of carbon-containing materials (industrially from flue gases and from synthesis gas used in ammonia production) and by heating metal carbonates or by... 

Why is potassium aluminium sulphate not soluble in benzene A compound M has the composition C = 50.0% H=12.5%o A1 = 37.5%. 0.360 g of M reacts with an excess of water to evolve 0.336 1 of gas N and leave a white gelatinous precipitate R. R dissolves in aqueous sodium hydroxide and in hydrochloric acid. 20 cm of N require 40 cm of oxygen for complete combustion, carbon dioxide and water being the only products. Identify compounds N and R, suggest a structural formula for M, and write an equation for the reaction of M with water. (All gas volumes were measured at s.t.p.)... 

Carrying out a combustion. The apparatus (Fig. 85, p. 469) will have been left with the bottle W connected to the beak of the combustion tube via the guard tube V and with all the taps shut, the combustion tube, which is dways allowed to cool down while connected to the oxygen source, will therefore be full of oxygen at slightly above atmospheric pressure, thus preventing any leaking in of carbon dioxide or water vapour from the air. 

The chief danger and main source of error in a combustion is that of moving the Bunsen forward a little too rapidly and so causing much of the substance to burn very rapidly, so that a flash-back occurs. This usually causes an explosion wave to travel back along the tube towards the purification train, some carbon dioxide and water vapour being carried with it. If these reach the packing of the purification train they will, of course, be absorbed there and the results of the estimation will necessarily be low. 

The fiimace E is now switched on, and takes about 20 minutes before the combustion tube packing has reached the required temperature. After 15 minutes, carbon dioxide is again passed for 5 minutes, and the apparatus tested as before for the appearance of micro-bubbles. If these are not at first obtained, the sweeping-out process must be continued until they do appear. Now that the combustion-tube packing is heated up to the required temperature and the apparatus filled with carbon dioxide, all air being swept out, the combustion may be started. 

The combustion. The tap T2 is closed, T3 opened and the reservoir J raised (Fig. 87), to make sure that no air has been collected at the top of the nitrometer tube a small quantity of potash is left in H when tap T3 is closed and the reservoir J then lowered again. The carbon dioxide generator is switched off and tap T2 slowly turned on until it is fully opened. 

The tap T2 is now closed. The furnace is switched off and the carbon dioxide generator left on until the combustion tube is cold this ensures that the reduced copper spiral, by cooling in carbon dioxide, is main tained in the reduced state. (Despite this precaution it does become spent and should be replaced from time to time. A spent copper spiral leads to high results, but before this takes place there is usually suffici-... 

The complete assembly for carrying out the catalytic decomposition of acids into ketones is shown in Fig. Ill, 72, 1. The main part of the apparatus consists of a device for dropping the acid at constant rate into a combustion tube containing the catalyst (manganous oxide deposited upon pumice) and heated electrically to about 350° the reaction products are condensed by a double surface condenser and coUected in a flask (which may be cooled in ice, if necessary) a glass bubbler at the end of the apparatus indicates the rate of decomposition (evolution of carbon dioxide). The furnace may be a commercial cylindrical furnace, about 70 cm. in length, but it is excellent practice, and certainly very much cheaper, to construct it from simple materials.

Dehydration or Chemical Theory. In the dehydration or chemical theory, catalytic dehydration of ceUulose occurs. The decomposition path of ceUulose is altered so that flammable tars and gases are reduced and the amount of char is increased ie, upon combustion, ceUulose produces mainly carbon and water, rather than carbon dioxide and water. Because of catalytic dehydration, most fire-resistant cottons decompose at lower temperatures than do untreated cottons, eg, flame-resistant cottons decompose at 275—325°C compared with about 375°C for untreated cotton. Phosphoric acid and sulfuric acid [8014-95-7] are good examples of dehydrating agents that can act as efficient flame retardants (15—17).
