Plasma processes are very useful in industry because plasma has the unique characteristic of producing active species in large numbers of energetic species than conventional chemical processes. Nonthermal plasma (NTP), such as corona or glow discharge plasmas, is widely used for...Read more
Modeling Mercury Chemistry in Coal-Fired Air Preheaters: Effects of Sulfur Trioxide and Surface Area
Mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants are a concern to both the state and federal governments in the U.S. US EPA had proposed to regulate mercury emissions from coal-fired power plants using the Clean Air Mercury Rule (CAMR). This two-phase program allowed trading of mercury...Read more
Carbon dioxide is the major product from coal combustion and is released into the air and causes global climate warming which we are facing today. Current technologies for capturing CO2 including solvent-based (amines) and CaO-based materials are still too energy intensive. Hence, there is...Read more
Introduction
Fossil fuels supply a majority of the world's energy needs. However, the combustion of fossil fuels is one of the major sources of the greenhouse gas CO2. Integrated gasification combined cycle (IGCC) is one the most efficient
Carbon dioxide emissions from heavy oil production are typically higher than that of producing conventional crudes. Ultimately, carbon dioxide emissions can make heavy oil production less competitive if regulated. Carbon dioxide emission regulations will affect the overall...Read more
Despite the lack of a global greenhouse gas emission reduction agreement, regional schemes are moving forward to limit CO2 and other GHG emissions to the atmosphere. In the United States, the state of California is moving forward with regulations that will cap...Read more
This webinar is of benefit to engineers involved in the design of chemical processes, and faculty at universities who teach courses and carry out research in process flowsheet design.Read more
In this webinar, we will summarize the outcomes of the workshop, and elaborate on the path determined for 2010.Read more
