Ammonia removal by plant powder4 answersThe invention provides various methods for removing ammonia. One method involves using plant extracts, such as eucalyptus citriodora oil, sanguisorba officinalis extract, crape myrtle extract, and rose extract, which continuously release fresh fragrance and have the effects of killing viruses and insects. Another method utilizes acid-base neutralization to remove free ammonia in urea powder, while also adding nutrient elements necessary for crop growth. A gradient fluidized ammonia circulating explosion method is used to remove crystallization of plant stalks, where straws are ground, presoaked, and then subjected to ammonia fluidization and steam heating. Activated carbon or zeolite can be used as solid adsorbents to physically adsorb ammonia from the off-gas of a urea production plant, which can then be regenerated and reused. Additionally, an ammonia-nitrogen remover comprising aluminum sulfate, carboxymethylcellulose sodium, potassium phosphate, diatomite, hydroxypropyl acrylate, trimethylol propane, magnesium phosphate, and active carbon powder can be used to remove ammonia-nitrogen from sewage.
How do ammonia slip catalysts work?3 answersAmmonia slip catalysts (ASC) are used downstream of NH3-selective catalytic NOx reduction (SCR) systems to minimize ammonia slip from transport sector SCR units. ASCs can consist of an SCR active layer for NOx control, a layer with oxidation functionality for ammonia conversion, or a combination of both. Mathematical models of ASCs involve flow and mass transfer in the monolithic channels as well as coupled reaction/diffusion processes in the catalytic layers. The best ASC configurations feature fast diffusion in the catalytic layers, a thin top layer loading with some ammonia oxidation catalyst, and a mixed layer of ammonia oxidation catalyst and the SCR catalyst to limit the formation of N2O and NOx. ASCs work by converting ammonia into harmless nitrogen and water through oxidation reactions, preventing it from being released into the environment as a pollutant.
Can urea be efficiently converted to hydrogen using non-noble metals?3 answersUrea can be efficiently converted to hydrogen using non-noble metals. Non-noble metal catalysts such as nickel, cobalt, molybdenum, manganese, iron, and copper have been found to play an essential role in reducing costs and increasing the efficiency of urea electrolysis. Studies have shown that multilayered nickel and copper phosphides/phosphates supported on Ni foam exhibit significant catalytic activity and stability in the urea oxidation reaction (UOR) and the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER). Additionally, novel NiMo-based nanorods have been reported as excellent catalysts for both the UOR and HER, outperforming most recently reported non-noble metal catalysts. Trimetallic nickel vanadium manganese nitride porous microspheres have also been developed as efficient bifunctional electrocatalysts for both UOR and HER, offering considerable energy-saving phenomena. These findings suggest that non-noble metal catalysts can effectively convert urea to hydrogen, providing a more economic and sustainable approach to hydrogen production.
Ammonia production from biodiesel chemical reaction5 answersAmmonia production from biodiesel involves the injection of ammonia into the intake manifold of a diesel engine, followed by the spraying of a pilot dose of biodiesel into the cylinder to initiate combustion of the premixed ammonia-air mixture. The effects of different ammonia mass flow rates with a constant biodiesel dose on engine performance and emissions were investigated. The results showed that a significant portion of the biodiesel input energy can be replaced by ammonia, but increasing the ammonia mass flow rate slightly decreases the brake thermal efficiency. However, increasing the ammonia load contribution significantly reduces the emissions of CO2, CO, and HC, but increases the emission of NO. The combustion duration of biodiesel/ammonia is shorter compared to only biodiesel operation, as most of the heat is released during the premixed combustion phase.
