Contamination conversion

We recently demonstrated that photocatalyzed destruction rates of low quantum efficiency contaminant compoimds in air can be promoted substantially by addition of a high quantum efficiency contaminant, trichloroethylene (TCE), in a single pass fixed bed illuminated catalyst, using a residence time of several milliseconds [1-3]. Perchloroethylene (PCE) and trichloropropene (TCP) were also shown to promote contaminant conversion [2]. These results establish a novel potential process approach to cost-effective photocatalytic air treatment for contaminant removal. [Pg.435]

Has consideration been given to the recovery of materials through the application of integrated source control on a process-by-process basis, for example, direct or indirect recovery of materials by sidestream treatment, process solution enhancement through sidestream removal of contaminants, conversion of waste to byproduct of value ... [Pg.12]

Transformation of organic contaminants adsorbed on clay materials is a surface-mediated process controlled by the molecular structure, the type of clay, and the clay-saturating cation, with the rate of contaminant conversion affected by the... [Pg.332]

The problem of crustal contamination is particularly acute for low mg continental flood basalts and smaller volume continental tholeiitic basalts, both of which have low trace-element concentrations (see Sections 3.03.3.2.3 and 3.03.3.3). The issue is less critical for many smaller volume continental rocks, such as kimberlites and alkali basalts, which have much higher abundances of many trace elements. As a result of their high strontium and neodymium content, for example, the isotopic compositions of these elements in kimberlites and alkali basalts are relatively insensitive to modification during crustal contamination. Conversely, the osmium and lead concentration of basaltic magmas are so low that these isotope systems are particularly vulnerable to modification by interaction with cmstal rocks (McBride et al, 2001 Chesley et al, 2002) hence these systems provide relatively sensitive indicators of crustal assimilation. [Pg.1359]

For cesium, the waste packaging process calls for the separation of the cesium from the acid waste, purification to remove metallic contaminants, conversion to anhydrous chloride, and subsequent encapsulation in double-walled metal cans. The cesium currently is separated from the acid waste by phosphotungstic acid precipitation and partially purified... [Pg.456]

Other heavy fuel contaminants are metals (vanadium, nickel, sodium) coming from the crude oil itself or metallic salts (aluminum silicates) coming from catalysts in conversion steps. The aluminum silicates should not exceed 300 ppm (30 ppm of aluminum), for these materials exert a strong abrasive action on the engine cylinders and injection systems. They can however be eliminated partially by centrifuging and filtration. [Pg.240]

In the 1970 s, heavy fuel came mainly from atmospheric distillation residue. Nowadays a very large proportion of this product is vacuum distilled and the distillate obtained is fed to conversion units such as catalytic cracking, visbreaking and cokers. These produce lighter products —gas and gasoline— but also very heavy components, that are viscous and have high contaminant levels, that are subsequently incorporated in the fuels. [Pg.241]

Vacuum distillation of the atmospheric residue complements primary distillation, enabli r.ecoyery of heavy distillate cuts from atmospheric residue that will un r o further conversion or will serve as lube oil bases. The vacuum residue containing most of the crude contaminants (metals, salts, sediments, sulfur, nitrogen, asphaltenes, Conradson carbon, etc.) is used in asphalt manufacture, for heavy fuel-oil, or for feed for others conversion processes. [Pg.367]

Its purpose is to partially convert heavy fractions highly contaminated by natural compounds such as sulfur, nitrogen, metals Ni, V, and asphaltenes and to prepare feedstocks for deeper conversion or to produce low-sulfur fuel-oil. [Pg.400]

Operation nd Control. Control of chromium chromate conversion coating baths is accompHshed by controlling chromium concentration and pH. The quaHty of the conversion coating is sensitive to aluminum accumulations in the coating bath as well as to rinse water purity. Sulfate contamination is a particular problem. [Pg.224]

Three general methods exist for the resolution of enantiomers by Hquid chromatography (qv) (47,48). Conversion of the enantiomers to diastereomers and subsequent column chromatography on an achiral stationary phase with an achiral eluant represents a classical method of resolution (49). Diastereomeric derivatization is problematic in that conversion back to the desired enantiomers can result in partial racemization. For example, (lR,23, 5R)-menthol (R)-mandelate (31) is readily separated from its diastereomer but ester hydrolysis under numerous reaction conditions produces (R)-(-)-mandehc acid (32) which is contaminated with (3)-(+)-mandehc acid (33). [Pg.241]

Upon storage, the amount of ted phosphoms in soHd white or Hquid phosphoms may increase if the material is exposed to light or contains contaminants such as iodine, sulfur, selenium, or sodium that catalyze the conversion from white to ted. Also, because white phosphoms is generally stored under water, some surface oxidation to form viscous white or colored polymeric oxyacids also occurs, especially if the oxygen content of the water can be replenished by exposure to air. [Pg.347]

Water for the kainite conversion comes from the hydrated MgSO. This solution is saturated with K SO. Use of potassium sulfate mother Hquor as a source of water for the reaction lowers the K SO lost in the MgCl2 solution, which is rejected as a waste stream from the process. It also is a solvent for sodium chloride that enters the process as a contaminant in kainite. [Pg.531]

Catalytic conversion can reach levels of <1-10 ppm of original contaminant. [Pg.458]

High density tungsten alloy machine chips are recovered by oxidation at about 850°C, foUowed by reduction in hydrogen at 700—900°C. Typically, the resultant powders are about 3-p.m grain size and resinter readily. There can be some pickup of refractory materials used in furnace constmction, which must be controUed. This process is important commercially. Eor materials that may be contaminated with other metals or impurities, the preferred recovery process is the wet chemical conversion process used for recovery of tungsten from ores and process wastes. Materials can always be considered for use as additions in alloy steel melting. [Pg.285]

After 30 hours, the maximum and critical fermentation is underway and the pH must remain above 4.0 for optimal fermentation. However, accompanying bacterial contamination from various sources such as yeast contamination, improper cleaning procedures, slow yeast growth, or excessive temperatures can result in a pH below 4.0. The remaining amylase enzymes, referred to as secondary conversion agents, are inactivated and can no longer convert the dextrins to maltose. Under these circumstances, the fermentor pH continues to drop because of acid production of the bacteria, and the pH can drop to as low as 3.0. The obvious result is a low ethanol yield and quaUty deterioration. [Pg.85]

The presence of contaminant metals on the equiUbrium catalyst can significantly increase the catalyst coking tendency, which in turn results in an increase in regenerator temperature if all other factors remain unchanged. As one example, if the metals on an FCCU equiUbrium catalyst increased from an equivalent-nickel value of 2000 wt ppm to 3500 wt ppm, the catalyst coke factor would increase 30—50%. If all controllable parameters remained constant, the regenerator temperature would be expected to increase 35—50°C and conversion would drop. [Pg.215]

Catalyst contamination from sources such as turbine lubricant and boiler feed water additives is usuaUy much more severe than deactivation by sulfur compounds in the turbine exhaust. Catalyst formulation can be adjusted to improve poison tolerance, but no catalyst is immune to a contaminant that coats its surface and prevents access of CO to the active sites. Between 1986 and 1990 over 25 commercial CO oxidation catalyst systems operated on gas turbine cogeneration systems, meeting both CO conversion (40 to 90%) and pressure drop requirements. [Pg.512]
