Selective catalytic reduction chemistry

Question 5 ("Is combustion with air the only chemistry intended at your facility ") can be answered YES in this case, assuming the "facility" being addressed is limited to the incinerator system. Due to the great number of combustion systems in operation, many other resources are available for ensuring safe design and operation of the combustion part of the incinerator facility. However, it should be noted that many combustors now have effluent treatment systems, such as selective catalytic reduction (SCR) systems, that involve intentional chemistry beyond the combustion reaction. 

Conclusion. Considering the current lack of understanding of the chemistry involved and the present elementary stage of development for this type of process, J. Ando (35) suggested that this wet simultaneous S02/N0X removal technique may be economically competitive with the sequential installation of N0X control by selective catalytic reduction (SCR) followed by S02 control by flue gas desulfurization. Further research to identify a more effective metal chelate and to characterize important reactions involved could make this type of process an effective and economic scrubber for SC>2/N0X control in a power plant.

Bench-scale flow reactor experiments are an effective way of examining the main performance features of the SCR reaction system on various catalysts. In this section, we review these features for Fe-based catalysts as a backdrop to considering more fundamental kinetics and mechanistic studies in Sect. 11.3 and transport effects in Sect. 11.4. The selective catalytic reduction of NOx by ammonia on Fe-ZSM-5 catalyst has been studied in detail by various research groups [19-22, 26, 27, 34-42]. The results from earlier studies of vanadia-based catalysts have underpinned the more recent studies of zeolite-based catalysts. For example, Koebel et al. [3, 6, 43] carried out a detailed study of the SCR chemistry on V-based catalysts. Nova et al. [5, 8, 44, 45] studied the chemistry of SCR over V-based catalyst and proposed a mechanism for the fast SCR reaction. To this end, the data here are by no means unique but are intended to highlight the important trends.

We have successfully demonstrated the principle of selective catalytic reductive deoxygenation of vicinal diols. The challenges inherent to this transformation have hindered development of carbohydrate-based organic feedstock chemistry. While there remain aspects of our chemistry that keep it a laboratory methodology, there is now a clear route to development. 

Thus, the selectivities, deactivation mechanisms, and potential transformations of alkoxo and amido intermediates in such reactions are not well understood. It is even rare for transition metal amido and alkoxo complexes to be clearly identified as intermediates in catalytic chemistry. The hydrogenation of imines and ketones presumably involves such intermediates [68], but they have not been clearly detected in these reactions [69]. The catalytic reduction of CO on surfaces may involve alkox-ides, but well-characterized homogeneous analogs are unusual [58].
