Soot removal

But the most important challenge in NO and soot removal by plasma-assisted catalysis refers to the treatment of diesel exhaust [116]. The discovery of new combinations leading to both an advanced total oxidation of unburned organic fuels and fragments, and of soot is extremely important for the near-future. According to the new regulations concerning the use of biomass in the production of fuels, the achievements in the direction NO and soot removal by plasma-assisted catalysis should be extended to the removal of tars [117].

For temperatures up to 400 °C the rate of soot removal is significantly reduced as SCR activity greatly reduces the available NO2 for soot oxidation. At higher temperatures, the NO , conversion is predicted to no longer have a negative impact on soot oxidation. At 500-550 °C, soot regeneration is actually enhanced, fact that is attributed to the 5 °C exotherm generated by the SCR reactions. 

Undisturbed soot particles and contaminated dust and dirt adhering to the surface of concrete are relatively easy to remove. The most frequently applied techniques for soot removal include vacuuming and the application of strippable coatings.

Once the raw has been scrubbed for soot removal, H2s is removed and CO is shifted across a cobalt molybdenum sour gas shift catalyst to adjust the H20/C0/C02 ratio. Finally, excess C02 is removed and the gas may be compressed (if required) and then processed in a conventional methanol synthesis loop. The processing steps as just described yield a syn that is approximately stoichiometric in nature (i 1.0) althou considerably more concentrated in CO than C02. 

Two classical process schemes are illustrated in Fig. 6.32 (from [818]). The schemes as the illustrated can be used both with fuel oil or coal as the feedstock. In both cases the feedstock is converted to raw synthesis gas by reaction with oxygen and steam. In scheme A, which is used with gasification processes which require cooling of the raw gas to near ambient temperature for soot removal.
