  • Publication number: 20190224620
    Abstract: It is an object of the present invention to avoid or reduce various problems or adverse effects by phase transition impurity substances when valuable substances such as ethanol are produced from a raw material gas containing the phase transition impurity substances such as naphthalene. A raw material gas g from a raw material gas generator 2 is passed through a phase transition impurity substance remover 10 to remove phase transition impurity substances such as naphthalene from the raw material gas g. Subsequently, the raw material gas g is passed through a solid/liquid catcher 30 to remove solid or liquid impurity substances from the raw material gas g. Subsequently, the raw material gas g is introduced to a valuable substance producing reactor 6, where a reaction occurs to produce valuable substances such as ethanol.

  • Publication number: 20190224621
    Abstract: A method for flue gas denotation includes the step of, in the presence of ammonia, enabling flue gas in a denitration reactor to pass through a plurality of catalyst beds from the bottom to the top to participate in a denitration reaction. Each catalyst bed contains a catalyst support component and a granular denitration catalyst stacked on the catalyst support component, and, in every single catalyst bed, the granular denitration catalyst moves along a same direction on the catalyst support component. Between every two adjacent catalyst beds, the granular denitration catalyst falls from the tail of a previous catalyst support component to the head of a next catalyst support component, making the granular denitration catalyst travel along the catalyst support components reciprocatively.
