  • Patent number: 8992870
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a catalyst comprising 0.1-10 mol % Co3-xMxO4, where M is Fe or Al and x=0-2, on a cerium oxide support for decomposition of N2O in gases containing NO. The catalyst may also contain 0.01-2 weight % ZrO2. The invention further comprises a method for performing a process comprising formation of N2O. The N2O containing gas is brought in contact with a catalyst comprising 0.1-10 mol % Co3-xMxO4, where M is Fe or Al and x=0-2, on a cerium oxide support, at 250-1000° C. The method may comprise that ammonia is oxidized in presence of an oxidation catalyst and that the thereby formed gas mixture is brought in contact with the catalyst comprising the cobalt component on cerium oxide support at a temperature of 500-1000° C.

  • Patent number: 8601984
    Abstract: Engine system comprising a compression ignition engine (20) including at least one combustion chamber and a cold flame vaporizer (40) in which a fuel is partially oxidized in preheated air to form a cold flame gas. The cold flame vaporizer (40) is in fluid communication with the combustion chamber of the compression ignition engine (20). There is further provided means (50) for supplying air such that the cold flame gas can be mixed with the additional air before being injected into the combustion chamber, and means (22) for injecting a pilot fuel into the combustion chamber, thereby producing a pilot flame in the combustion chamber which ignites the mixture of cold flame gas and air. There is also provided a method for a substantially NOx-free combustion of diesel fuel in a compression ignition engine (20).

  • Publication number: 20120051990
    Abstract: There is described an exhaust gas cleaning apparatus for the cleaning of exhaust gas which originates from a combustion process in a combustion chamber. The exhaust gas cleaning apparatus comprises an exhaust gas flow path which is arranged in fluid communication with the combustion chamber and through which the exhaust gas is flowing, and a cold flame gas supply which provides a cold flame gas. The cold flame gas supply is arranged in fluid communication with the exhaust gas flow path such that the cold flame gas can be injected into the exhaust gas flowing in the exhaust gas flow path and thereby, at least partly, remove impurities such as particulate matter, NOx and hydrocarbons, which are present in the exhaust gas. There is also described a method for cleaning of exhaust gas.
