  • Process for removing environmentally harmful compounds
    Patent number: 6667017
    Abstract: A process for oxidizing environmentally harmful compounds which participate in atmospheric photochemical reactions to produce for example ozone and undesirable smog constituents from a fluid, in particular a gas, volatile organic compounds (VOC) including hydrocarbons, CO and any other constituent that participates in atmospheric photochemical reactions to produce for example ozone or smog constituents and combustible compounds to be removed from a gas stream for reasons of toxicity, photochemical reactivity or physical discomfort such as irritants, particulates, odor sources and so on, and compounds which may cause upper atmosphere ozone depletion or lower atmosphere ozone formation. The uncoated randomly oriented mesh-like structure preferably has a porosity greater than about 85%. The coated randomly oriented mesh-like structure preferably has a porosity greater than about 65%.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 21, 2001
    Date of Patent: December 23, 2003
    Assignee: ABB Lummus Global, Inc.
    Inventors: Lawrence L. Murrell, Rudolf Overbeek, Robert E. Trubac, Pieter Lusse, Balachandran Ramachandran
