Closed carbon recovery system

Recycle of recovered carbon to extinction using the Shell Closed Carbon Recovery System (Figure 3). 

The SGP could remove the soot formed in the gasification system either by a pelletizing system or by a closed carbon-recovery system in which the soot-laden water is contacted with naphtha to form a slurry which is subsequently distilled off to recover naphtha and fuel oil. In the TGP only the second method is used. 

The ammonia recovery system of modern configurations of Solvay plants is quite efficient. Only about 3 kg of ammonia make-up is required to maintain the 300 kg or so of absorbed ammonia, which is needed for each tonne of sodium carbonate produced [17]. This high ammonia-recovery efficiency was the feature that gradually spelled the end of the commercial Le Blanc sodium carbonate plants, the last of which closed down in the period 1920-1930 [15]. 

A carbon dioxide sensor for monitoring levels in a closed exhalation anesthesia system was developed by Jordan (23). 7,10-dioxa-3,4-diaza-l,5,12,16-hexadecatetrol was prepared by mixing monoethanolamine, often used as a CO2 scrubber, with ethylene gylcol diglycidyl ether in a 2 1 ratio and was used as a coating. The respone was 391 Hz for 10% CO2, exposure time less than 30 sec, and complete recovery in less than 60 sec. No interferences were reported from nitrous oxide, halothane, or oxygen tested at normal anesthesia concentrations. 

Our initial studies on the metabolic pathway of captan in spinach point to similarities with dichlo-fluanid metabolism in strawberries. Preplanting treatment of soil with I C-captan followed by spinach cultivation for 34 days in a closed controlled ventilated cultivating system resulted in a recovery of 87% radiocarbon (Table III). The ma or amount (49%) was found in the soil, 19% in the spinach and 19% as carbon dioxide. Bligh-Dyer extraction of the spinach gave 7.4% of the l c-iabel in the chloroform and metha-... 

Vanillin in MeOH and sulphuric acid was used for the derivatization of MON. Chicken tissue (muscle, liver, skin with adhering fat tissues) samples were homogenized with MeOH-water, NaCl was added to the supernatants, and MON was isolated and concentrated by liquid-liquid partition carbon tetrachloride and by SPE on the silica gel. Standard recoveries ranged from 82% to 96%. The method is specific for MON in the presence of closely related PETs— NAR and SAL. Lasalocid and other antibiotics, such as tylosin, nicarbazin, bacitracin, lin-comycin, and bambermycin, do not react in the system and therefore do not interfere (102). A similar method was also used for the determination of MON in bovine tissues and milk. The homogenization of milk was performed by using MeOH. Recoveries achieved were 79-88% with RSD values of 4.6-9.1% (103). 

For less volatile compounds, closed-loop stripping has been used in which the analytes are collected on a column of activated carbon from which they are then eluted with carbon disulfide. Attention should especially be drawn to an evaluation of this system for a range of analytes (Coleman et al. 1983) and in particular to the conclusion that for quantification, recovery efficiencies must be evaluated using matrices spiked with the analyte of specific interest. 

In the spinning of Rhovyl, the spinning chamber and the solvent recovery process form a closed system, and each spinning position is independent. Because a large quantity of carbon disulfide is used, special attention must be paid to prevent accidents such as explosion. 

Gas permeation systems typically use hollow-fiber or spiral-wound membranes, although hollow-fiber systems are more common tBaker. 2004k Cellulose acetate membranes are used for carbon dioxide recovery, polysulfone coated with silicone rubber is used for hydrogen purification, and conposite membranes are used for air separation. The feed gas is forced into the membrane module under pressure. Retentate, which does not go through the membrane, will become concentrated in the less permeable gas. Retentate exits at a pressure that will be close to the input pressure. The more permeable species will be concentrated in permeate. Permeate, which has passed through the membrane, exits at low pressure. The operating cost for a gas permeator is the cost of conpression of the feed gas and the irreversible pressure difference that occurs for the gas that permeates the membrane. A typical hollow-fiber unit will contain 5000 m membrane area per m at a cost of approximately 200/m. ... 

There are two major types of VOCs recovery refrigerated condensation (Stone 1997) and adsorption, followed by refrigeration (Hussey and Gupta 1997, Kent 1999). Although there are several types of condensation systems the most common adopted is a reverse Rankine cycle where a closed-cycle heat pump with a separate working fluid is used to condense VOCs. Adsorption is a process whereby the VOCs in the air stream are captured physically on the surface of a solid such as carbon. Steam or inert gas is... 

Duyck et al (2002) determined Ag, Al, Ba, Cd, Co, Cu, Fe, La, Mg, Mo and Mn in residual fuel oil and crude oils by ICP-MS after dilution of the samples in toluene, using ultrasonic nebulization. Good accuracy was reported for the determinations of the metals. Wondimu et al (2000) analysed residual fuel oil for Ag, Al, As, Ba, Bi, Ca, Cd, Co, Cr, Cu, Fe and Hg by ICP-MS after micro-wave acid decomposition. H2O2 was used after acid decomposition for better carbon removal. Lord (1991) determined Li, Al, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Ba and Pb in crude oils by ICP-MS with mciro-emulsion sample introduction. Kowalewska et al (2005) determined Cu in crude oils and crude oil distillation products by ICP-MS after ashing and micro-wave assisted decomposition of analyte and transferred to aqueous solution. Good recovery of Cu was reported. Kelly et al (2003) determined Hg in crude oils and refined products by cold Vapor ICP-MS after decomposition of the sample by closed system combustion. Botto (2002) analysed crude oil, petroleum naphthas and tars for Na, P, Ti, V, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn, As, Y, Mo, Cd, Sn, Sb,...
