  • Patent number: 7435759
    Abstract: A method for producing DME, which comprises separating a CO2 rich stream from a crude product stream containing DME and CO2 obtained by a DME synthesis from a feed syn gas; introducing the CO2 rich stream to a reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor wherein it is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of an oxide catalyst of either ZnO or NiO to provide a CO rich stream, and recycling the CO rich stream to the step of the methanol synthesis step.
    Type: Grant

    Date of Patent: October 14, 2008
    Assignee: Korea Institute of Science and Technology
    Inventors: Kwang-Deog Jung, Oh-Shim Joo, Jun-Woo Oh
  • Publication number: 20070248518
    Abstract: A highly efficient desulfurization method for removing a hydrogen sulfide and a sulfur dioxide simultaneously comprises the step of contacting a gas containing the hydrogen sulfide and the sulfur dioxide with water, or an aqueous solution containing a first heterogeneous catalyst for desulfurization to oxidize the hydrogen sulfide with the sulfur dioxide. 3˜5% sulfur-containing tail gas exhausted from, especially, Claus Process can be treated at a high efficiency of over 99%.

  • Publication number: 20070142482
    Abstract: The present invention is directed to a method for producing DME, which comprises separating a CO2 rich stream from a crude product stream containing DME and CO2 obtained by a DME synthesis from a feed syn gas; introducing the CO2 rich stream to a reverse water gas shift (RWGS) reactor wherein it is reacted with hydrogen in the presence of a catalyst to provide a CO rich stream, and recycling the CO rich stream to the step of the methanol synthesis step. In accordance with the present invention, a large amount of carbon dioxide gas generated during the preparing process of DME is effectively re-used, thus increasing the yield of DME and lowering the amount of carbon dioxide discharged.

  • Patent number: 6503471
    Abstract: Malodorous gases such as amines, organosulfur compounds, hydrogen sulfide, styrene and aldehydes are economically and efficiently treated at ambient temperature and pressure by a catalytic absorption and oxidation process comprising: (a) bringing the malodorous gases into contact with a scrubbing water containing a heterogeneous catalyst to absorb the malodorous components catalytically, and (b) subjecting the resulting solution containing the malodorous components to a catalytic oxidation by contacting it with an oxidizing agent such as hydrogen peroxide, ozone, oxygen, air, nitrogen oxides, and NaOCl in the presence of the catalyst at a temperature ranging from 0 to 100 □ under an ambient pressure, the heterogeneous catalyst comprising an active metal element selected from alkali, alkaline earth and transition metals, and an oxide support material.
