Carbon emissions recovery

One way to improve carbon emissions and overall efficiency is to ensure that all furnace operations employ efficient heat recovery from the flue gas. Ideally the flue gas should be cooled in order to recover the heat of condensation of the water produced in the combustion process. 

From Fig. 11.11 it is possible to verify the improvement in terms of carbon emission from the base case design to the retrofit design proposed (black bars lower than gray bars). Flowever, this retrofit design involved the recovery of water, so metrics related to water impact should be also assessed. The IChemE metrics have been selected to assess the water impact of the new retrofit design [63]. For the social assessment the health and safety issues were considered, through the appHcation of the Inherent Safety Index defined by Fleikldla [60]. The results obtained for the environmental and social assessments are summarized in Table 11.4. 

When used in energy recovery, recycled tyres provide about a 20% carbon footprint advantage over coal, but waste tyres have substantially more carbon emissions than other fossil fuels. 

Evaporative emissions from the fuel tank and carburetor have been controlled on all 1971 and later model automobiles sold in the United States. This has been accomplished by either a vapor recovery system which uses the crankcase of the engine for the storage of the hydrocarbon vapors or an adsorption and regeneration system using a canister of activated carbon to trap the vapors and hold them until such time as a fresh air purge through the canister carries the vapors to the induction system for burning in the combustion chamber.

Adsorption, which utilizes the ability of a solid adsorbent to adsorb specific components from a gaseous or a liquid solution onto its surface. Examples of adsorption include the use of granular activated carbon for the removal of ben-zene/toluene/xylene mixtures from underground water, the separation of ketones from aqueous wastes of an oil refinery, aad the recovery of organic solvents from the exhaust gases of polymer manufacturing facilities. Other examples include the use of activated alumina to adsorb fluorides and arsenic from metal-finishing emissions. 

Three major sources in the kraft process are responsible for the majority of the H2S emissions. These involve the gaseous waste streams leaving the recovery furnace, the evaporator and the air stripper, respectively denoted by R), R2 and R3. Stream data for the gaseous wastes are summarized in Table 8.8. Several candidate MSAs are screened. These include three process MSAs and three external MSAs. The process MSAs are the white, the green and the black liquors (referred to as Si, S2 and S3, respectively). The external MSAs include diethanolamine (DBA), S4. activated carbon, Sj, and 30 wt% hot potassium carbonate solution, S6. Stream data for the MSAs is summarized in Table 8.9. Syndiesize a MOC REAMEN that can accomplish the desulfurization task for the three waste streams. 

It was not nndl the 1950s that detonation flame arresters made of crimped metal ribbon elements were developed and began to be used more freqnendy (Binks 1999). The major impetus for die use of crimped metal ribbon detonation flame arresters in the US was the enactment of clean air legislation (Clean Air Act of 1990) which inadvertently created a safety problem by requiring reductions in volatile organic compound (VOC) emissions. To do this, manifolded vent systems (vapor collection systems) were increasingly installed in many chemical process industry plants which captured VOC vapors and transported them to suitable recovery, recycle, or destruction systems. This emission control requirement has led to the introdnction of ignition risks, for example, from a flare or via spontaneous combustion of an activated carbon adsorber bed. Multiple... 

Newer secondary recovery plants use lead paste desulfurization to reduce sulfur dioxide emissions and waste sludge generation during smelting. Battery paste containing lead sulfate and lead oxide is desulfurized with soda ash to produce market-grade sodium sulfate solution. The desulfurized paste is processed in a reverberatory furnace. The lead carbonate product may then be treated in a short rotary furnace. The battery grids and posts are processed separately in a rotary smelter.

Air emissions may arise from fugitive propane emissions and process vents. These include heater stack gas (carbon monoxide, sulfur oxides, nitrogen oxides, and particulate matter) as well as hydrocarbon emission, such as fugitive propane and fugitive solvents. Steam stripping wastewater (oil and solvents) and solvent recovery wastewater (oil and propane) are also produced. 

In order to preclude this problem and the necessary frequent regeneration of the anion system s suppressor column, an ion chromatography exclusion scheme was utilized. Samples collected in a mine environment were reliably concentrated by freeze-drying and then analyzed on an ICE system with dilute hydrochloric acid eluent. The precision of the ICE method was experimentally determined to be 2.5% in a concentration range of 1 to 10 yg/mL. The accuracy was not independently determined but good precision and recovery yield confidence that measured values are within 5% of the true value. No interferences were observed in the ICE system due to strong acids, carbonic acid or other water soluble species present in mine air subject to diesel emissions.
