    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021
    Assignee: S.A. Lhoist Recherche et Development
    Inventors: Rodney Foo, Gregory Martin Filippelli, Johan Heiszwolf
  • Patent number: 10874975
    Abstract: A powdery calcium-magnesium compound used as a sorbent composition in flue gas treatment, compatible with electrostatic precipitators. The calcium magnesium compound is doped with calcium nitrate or nitric acid to reduce the electrical resistivity of the particles, increasing their collection efficiency.

  • Patent number: 10618000
    Abstract: Articles comprising a catalyst film comprising VOx, MoO3 or WO3, and TiO2 deposited on a substrate are disclosed. The articles are useful for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NOx in exhaust gases. Methods for producing such articles deposit a catalyst film on the substrate to form a coated substrate, which is then calcined. When used in an SCR process, the coated articles have enhanced activity for NOx conversion, reduced activity for SOx conversion, or both. Light-weight, coated articles having high catalyst loads can be fabricated at the same or reduced dimensions when compared with laminated articles, and increased kNOx/kSOx ratios are available even from coated articles having relatively thin catalyst films. The articles should have particular value for power plant operations, where coal and high-sulfur fuels are commonly used and controlling sulfur trioxide generation is critical.

  • Patent number: 9782721
    Abstract: Systems and methods of continuous operation of a urea-SCR system at low temperatures (200-350° C.) in the presence of high SOx containing flue gas are described. The methods comprise introducing a solution of urea and an NO2 forming compound, preferably an alkaline earth metal nitrate, into an exhaust stream before the exhaust stream contacts an SCR catalyst.
