Tri-reforming: a new process for reducing CO(sub.2) emissions

Article Abstract:

Tri-reforming, a process being developed at Pennsylvania State University is an innovative process for cutting carbon dioxide emissions according to the director of applied catalysis in the Energy Laboratory at the Energy Inst., associate professor of fuel science, Dept. of Energy and Geo-environmental Engineering, Pennsylvania State Univ.. It is a three-step reaction process that avoids the carbon dioxide-separation step and promises to be cost-effective for making industrially useful synthesis gas. Tables list carbon dioxide emissions from different US sectors and from electricity-generating units, and conceptual design of the proposed process for tri-reforming natural gas using flue gas from fossil fuel-based power plants and the proposed concept for making fuels, chemical and electricity using natural gas is included and flue gas is shown in a flow-chart. Graph shows time vs conversion or yield, %, for tri-reforming of methane using gas mixture and Haldor-Topsoe catalyst.

Silver removal and recovery from effluent streams

Article Abstract:

More powerful technologies will be required for removal of silver from effluent streams as upper limits of 20 ppm are being considered in the European Union and lower effluent concentrations are allowed in general. A technology that achieves the removal in a one-step unit operation with lower investment and utility costs has been developed by CES B.V. (Netherlands). It is described by two staff members and uses a non-backmixing reactor system and an inexpensive plug-flow pipe reactor with controlled heat transfer and stationary mixing elements.

Mitigating global climate change through power-generation technology

Article Abstract:

GDP, growth per capita, population growth and growth in energy usage per unit of GDP are some of the factors that drive carbon dioxide emissions. Information on the projected warming of the earth until 2050 and the emission reductions that are needed are discussed.
