Objective
Partners in this project developed two new electrochemical processes for gas purification. These processes produce less chemical waste by using electrons, rather than chemicals, as a reagent to remove sulphur dioxide and nitrous oxide. The processes are being tested under industrial conditions and could be used for pollution control in small plants and combustion units in the future.
AN INCREASING MARKET IS DEVELOPING FOR THE PURIFICATION OF OFF-GASES FROM SMALLER POWER STATIONS, HEATING COMBUSTION UNITS AND CHEMICAL PLANTS PRODUCING SUCH WASTE GASES.
IT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT TO DEVELOP THE SCIENTIFIC AND ENGINEERING FUNDAMENTALS WHICH ARE NECESSARY FOR THE INDUSTRIAL REALISATION OF SUCH PROCESSES.
BASED ON A THERMODYNAMIC SCREENING OF POSSIBLE REACTION PATHWAYS SEVERAL ALTERNATIVE ROUTES WILL BE INVESTIGATED. THIS WILL RESULT IN THE CREATION OF NEW AND INNOVATIVE ELECTRO-CATALYTIC PROCESSES. THE THERMODYNAMICALLY POSSIBLE REACTION SCHEMES WILL BE INVESTIGATED WITH RESPECT TO THEIR KINETICS. ALSO THE ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT RATE OF THE ABSORPTION STEP AND THE POSSIBILITIES OF ABSORPTION CAPACITY ENHANCEMENT WILL BE INTENSIVELY STUDIED.
IMPROVEMENTS OF ABSORPTION COLUMN DESIGN, OPTIMIZATION OF ELECTROCHEMICAL PACKED BED CELL AND PROCESS STEPS FOR THE PRODUCT/HOMOGENEOUS CATALYST SEPARATION WILL BE STUDIED.
THE MOST PROMISING PROCESS CONCEPTS FOR SO2 AND NOX REMOVAL WILL BE SELECTED AND STUDIED IN PILOT PLANTS.
