Welcome to the Lakshman research laboratories
The research conducted in our laboratories involves organic chemical synthesis and particularly those pertaining to questions of biological interest. The program has many facets but can be broadly divided into the following areas. The links shown to the left provide listings of publications on the specific topics.
Catalysis Chemistry. This area involves the development of metal-mediated methods, primarily for nucleoside modification and also other molecules of biological interest. Metals that have been studied so far are palladium, copper, and ruthenium. Also of interest is the development and study of new catalytic systems. Via collaborations, we have begun to use some computational methods in this area.
Nucleoside Modification Chemistry. This area overlaps with our interests in catalysis chemistry as well as the chemistry and biology of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Additionally, we are also developing uncatalyzed methods for nucleoside modification. In this context we have been exploring unusual reactions of peptide coupling agents for transformations that have not been previously studied.
Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon Chemistry. In this area, there are numerous aspects we are involved with. For example, in one aspect we are developing diastereoselective syntheses of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon derivatives, which when conjugated with appropriate nucleosides, then lead to stereochemically-defined nucleoside adducts. Such adducts can then be appropriately functionalized and incorporated into short DNA fragment, which are probes of structure and biological output. Another avenue of investigation is the development of novel synthetic methodology for synthesis of functionalized non-planar hydrocarbons for probing questions on metabolism. We have also been using computational methodology in some aspects with collaborations.
Synthetic Methodology. An broadly encompassing theme of our research is the development, mechanistic understanding, and general utility of chemical methodologies developed. Some examples of new chemical methodology development are our studies on the use of diboron reagents for deoxygenation, studies in aryne cycloadditions, and investigations into the unusual reactions of peptide coupling agents.

Since Slinkey Twisted My Arm....
Today was my 'get-a-fix' day...and I hit the jackpot.
I got this complete set for 8 plus 8 stoneware chargers that match (another brand) for the price of 22.99...
Here is a link that might be useful: Dinner Plate
OMGosh...I thought you hit a jackpot with your other post, then I opened this one. What beautiful dishes! The rich colors on the plates, the wonderful design on the salad ones, I love them.
Maybe you should have bought a lottery ticket while you were out! LOL.
hugs, Karen
Those are really pretty, and you can sure see that you got a fantastic buy! Know you will have lots of fun creating a pretty tablescape with them. TFS
How did I miss this 'unveiling'!!
Beautiful score on both.
I'm thinking of ALL the colors you can 'pull out' from that
dinnerware pattern.. they're just beautiful.
Now...you have to 'show & tell' when you set them up in a scape!!! :)

... this area so friendly. Families were all speaking to us and getting their children to say "hello'. We met a lovely old lady on the bridge in Changsha who told me I was beautiful and desperately wanted to have her photo taken with us. This is an area where they see many Chinese tourists, but very few foreigner tourists.
A really fantastic day, and definitely the highlight of our holiday for me!

This disclosure relates to emissions control, particularly the control of sulfur oxide emissions using regenerable sulfur dioxide sorbents.
The emission of pollutants such as sulfur oxides and nitrogen oxides in combustion waste gases causes serious environmental problems. Major efforts are underway to reduce these emissions through the implementation of particulate filters and NOx conversion devices. One promising approach to minimizing NOx emissions involves capturing and storing NOx as an alkali or alkaline earth nitrate during normal operation (lean conditions) and releasing the stored NOx after reducing it to molecular nitrogen (N2) under fuel-rich conditions.
Sulfur oxides (SOx) are produced as combustion byproducts and interfere with the function of current NOx traps by reacting with NOx catalytic components, degrading or ōpoisoningö the trap. Sulfur dioxide also reacts with the oxidants present in particulate filters, yielding sulfur trioxide, sulfuric acid particulates and depositing sulfate salts on the catalyst, which degrades the effectiveness of the particulate filter. Despite the recent introduction of low sulfur diesel fuels, the 15 ppmw (parts per million by weight) concentration of sulfur in these fuels still overwhelms current NOx traps and particulate filters.
Current sulfur absorbent technology has significant limitations. For example, copper-doped alumina (CuŚAl2O3) has been studied as a regenerable flue gas sulfur oxide absorbent. It reacts with SO2 and O2 at ś350░ C. to form CuSO4 and Al2(SO4)3. The sulfated absorbent can be regenerated by reduction in H2 or CH4 at 400-500░ C., followed by oxidation in air at 500░ C. to reform the copper oxide phase. The chemistry involved in the absorption/regeneration cycle makes it extremely challenging to use Cu-doped Al2O3 as an on-line regenerable sulfur trap for diesel emission aftertreatment systems, due to the copper oxide/copper metal redox that is taking place in parallel with the sulfate adsorption and desorption. The unsulfated CuO will react with rich gas to form metallic Cu, which not only causes a fuel penalty, but also prevents the system from fast regeneration because copper oxide reduction competes kinetically with copper sulfate reduction. Thus, high loadings of copper do not provide an advantage in the preparation of the absorbent.
Disclosed herein are sorbents and devices for controlling sulfur oxides emissions as well as systems including various embodiments and combinations of such sorbents and devices. Also disclosed are methods for using the disclosed sorbents, devices and systems in emissions control that overcome many of the limitations of current technologies for sulfur dioxide control. Also disclosed are methods for making and using the disclosed sorbents, devices and systems.
In one embodiment, emission control devices disclosed herein include sorbent beds or traps for absorbing sulfur dioxide. In one embodiment such devices include a sorbent material comprising first and second catalytic materials and a carrier. The first catalytic material is a precious metal, which typically is present in from about 0.1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent. Examples of suitable precious metals include, without limitation those such as platinum, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium and combinations thereof. The second catalytic material is silver, typically present in from about 1 weight percent to about 50 weight percent.
In further embodiments, a disclosed emission control device is included in a system for emissions control. In one example, such systems include first and second emission control devices fluidly connectable to a combustion exhaust stream source wherein the first emission control device comprises a sorbent material comprising from about 0.1 weight percent to about 10 weight percent platinum and from about 1 to about 50 weight percent silver and a carrier. Such systems may have the first emission control device arranged upstream of the second emission control device. In one embodiment the upstream, first emission control device comprises a sulfur dioxide trap.
One embodiment of the disclosed systems includes one or more regenerable sulfur dioxide traps, such as regenerable sulfur dioxide traps, including those that can be regenerated during a normal cycle of the combustion exhaust stream.
The carrier component of the disclosed sulfur dioxide sorbents may optionally be formed into or on a porous substrate. In such examples, the precious metal and/or silver constituents may be impregnated into or deposited on the carrier before or after deposition onto the porous substrate. Likewise, the precious metal and/or silver constituents may be mixed with the carrier, including intimately mixed with the carrier before the carrier is formed into a porous substrate.
Methods for using the disclosed sorbents may include a method for emissions control wherein a combustion exhaust stream is contacted with a sulfur dioxide sorbent including a precious metal and silver at a location upstream of a NOx trap. In one embodiment, this method results in more efficient operation of the NOx trap due to the removal of interfering sulfur compounds. In another aspect of a disclosed method the sorbent is regenerated by contacting it with a rich combustion waste stream, such as a combustion waste stream comprising less than about 1 molar percent oxygen.
Also disclosed herein are low emission motor vehicles, wherein the combustion engine that powers the vehicle is coupled to an emission control device containing a sorbent comprising both silver and a precious metal. This emission control device is further coupled to a downstream emission control device for removing NOx and/or particulates. The presently disclosed sorbents, emission control devices and systems can be used to reduce emissions from any waste stream source. In one aspect, the disclosed materials, devices and systems are particularly well-adapted for use with diesel combustion engines.
The foregoing and other objects, features, and advantages of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description, which proceeds with reference to the accompanying figures.
The patent or application file contains at least one drawing executed in color. Copies of this patent or patent application publication with color drawing(s) will be provided by the Office upon request and payment of the necessary fee.
The following explanations of terms and methods are provided to better describe the present sorbent compositions, devices systems and methods, and to guide those of ordinary skill in the art in the practice of the present disclosure. It is also to be understood that the terminology used in the disclosure is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments and examples only and is not intended to be limiting.
Ranges can be expressed herein as from ōaboutö one particular value, and/or to ōaboutö another particular value. When such a range is expressed, another embodiment includes from the one particular value and/or to the other particular value. Similarly, when values are expressed as approximations, by use of the antecedent ōabout,ö it will be understood that the particular value forms another embodiment. It will be further understood that the endpoints of each of the ranges are significant both in relation to the other endpoint, and independently of the other endpoint.
In this specification and in the claims which follow, reference will be made to a number of terms and abbreviations which shall be understood to have the following meanings: ōOptionalö or ōoptionallyö means that the subsequently described event or circumstance can but need not occur, and that the description includes instances where said event or circumstance occurs and instances where it does not.
ōGHSVö refers to Gas Hourly Space Velocity.
ōSOxö refers to sulfur oxides, including sulfur dioxide and sulfur trioxide.
ōNOxö refers to nitrogen oxides, including nitric and nitrous oxides.
The term ōsorbö refers to absorption and/or adsorption processes. Similarly the term ōsorbentö refers to absorbents, adsorbents and combinations thereof.
Disclosed herein are novel sorbents for removing sulfur dioxide from combustion exhaust. Also disclosed are systems comprising the sorbents as well as methods for their use.
One embodiment includes sulfur dioxide sorbent materials comprising first and second catalytic materials and an inorganic carrier. Typically the inorganic carrier is selected from one or more of alumina (Al2O3), silica (SiO2), aluminosilicates, such as zeolites, titanium oxide (TiO2), zirconium oxide (ZrO2), magnesium oxide (MgO), divided carbides, for example silicon carbides (SiC). Mixed oxides or solid solutions comprising at least two of the above oxides also can be employed. In specific embodiments the inorganic carrier comprises fumed silica. To increase the dispersion of the materials and thus to increase their absorption capacity, the inorganic carrier can be formed into a porous support such as by extrusion or coating. The catalytic materials then may be deposited on or embedded in the porous support.
The sorbent materials can be in the form of a powder, beads, pellets or the like; they also optionally can be impregnated in or deposited on a substrate. For example, the sorbent materials also may be directly prepared on a monolithic substrate of an additional inorganic material, such as a ceramic or metal. Substrate materials, including monolithic substrates, that can be used include ceramics, such as those having the principal constituents alumina, titania, zirconia, cordierite, mullite, silica, aluminosilicates, a silicon carbide and/or nitride; an aluminum titanate; and/or a metal, generally obtained from iron, chromium or aluminum alloys optionally doped with, for example, nickel, cobalt, cerium or yttrium. Combinations of two or more of these materials also can be used.
For many embodiments, the surface area of the sorbent material is preferably maximized because a high specific surface area provides more efficient kinetics of adsorption and desorption. By way of example, in certain embodiments the sorbent material has a specific surface area in the range of from about 1 to about 300 m2/g, such as from about 2 to about 300 m2/g. In particular embodiments the sorbent material has a specific surface area of at least about 10 m2/g, such as in the range of from about 30 to 250 m2/g.
To enhance specific surface area, the structure of ceramic substrates can be that of a honeycomb or alternatively in the form of a foam or fiber. Similarly, metal substrates can be produced by winding corrugated strips or by stacking corrugated sheets to constitute a honeycomb structure with straight or zigzag channels which may or may not communicate with each other. Substrates also can be produced from metal fibers or wires which optionally are interlocked, woven or braided.
With aluminum or aluminum alloy substrates, it is recommended that they are pre-treated at high temperature (for example between about 700░ C. and 1100░ C.) to develop a microlayer of refractory alumina on the surface. Such a refractory microlayer typically has a porosity and specific surface area greater than that of the original metal, which encourages adhesion of sorbent materials and protects the remainder of the support against corrosion.
The quantity of sorbent phase, which includes first and second catalytic materials and the carrier, that may be deposited or prepared directly on a ceramic or metallic support (or substrate) is generally in the range of from about 20 grams of sorbent phase per liter of support to about 300 grams per liter, such as from about 50 grams to about 200 grams per liter of support.
For many uses, such as in connection with a combustion vehicle exhaust, it typically is preferable to use rigid supports (monoliths) with a large open porosity, such as more than 70%, to limit pressure drops that may cause high gas flow rates, and in particular high exhaust gas space velocities. These pressure drops are deleterious to proper functioning of the engine and can reduce the efficiency of internal combustion engines (gasoline or diesel). Further, the exhaust system is subjected to vibrations and to substantial mechanical and thermal shocks, typically monolithic sorbents are more robust under these conditions than those in the form of beads, pellets or extrudates, which run the risk of deterioration due to wear or fracturing.
In principle any technique for sorbent preparation can be used to prepare the presently disclosed sorbent materials as is known to those of skill in the art can readily ascertain. Particularly suitable methods include, without limitation, impregnation, such as impregnation by soaking, dry or pore volume impregnation and incipient wetness impregnation.
The first catalytic component of the sorbent material comprises a precious metal. The precious metal typically is selected from platinum, palladium, rhodium, ruthenium and combinations thereof. The preferred precious metals are platinum, palladium and rhodium, with the most preferred being platinum.
With reference to
The precious metal source can be in any form compatible with the methods employed to prepare the sorbent material. In general, when the first catalytic material includes platinum, it can be supplied as any platinum salt, preferably a water-soluble platinum salt. Typically, a platinum (II) source is employed, but platinum (IV) sources can be used as well. Particular examples of suitable platinum precursors for the preparation of the disclosed sorbents include, without limitation, Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2, Pt(NO3)4, H2 PtCl2, PtBr2 and combinations thereof. Working embodiments typically used Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2 as the platinum source.
The second catalytic component, silver, typically is present in from about a 1:10 to about a 500:1 ratio with the precious metal component, such as in a ratio of from about 1:1 to about 50:1, such as from about 1:5 to about 20:1. For example certain sorbents have a silver to precious metal ratio of about 2:1, 3:1, 5:1 or about 10:1. As with the precious metal, the silver can be provided in any form compatible with the methods used to prepare the sorbent material, as is known to those of ordinary skill in the art. In principle, silver (I) and/or silver (II) compounds can be used, but typically silver (I) compounds are used. Examples of suitable silver compounds include, without limitation, Ag(OAc), AgNO3, Ag2CO3 and combinations thereof. In working embodiments, AgNO3 was used as the silver source.
The first catalytic material employed in the disclosed sorbents typically is present in from about 0.1 to about 10 weight percent. Weight percentages as referred to herein refer to the weight percent of the catalytic material relative to the weight of the entire sorbent material, including the catalytic material and any carrier material, if present. In particular embodiments, the disclosed sorbents may include from about 0.5 to about 5 weight percent of a first catalytic material, such as platinum. In other embodiments, disclosed sorbents include from about 0.2 to about 2 weight percent platinum, palladium, ruthenium, rhodium or a combination thereof. The second catalytic material, silver, typically is present in from about 1 to about 50 weight percent, such as from 1 to about 7.5 weight percent or from about 2 to about 15 weight percent, such as from about 2 to about 10 weight percent. More typically, the disclosed sorbent materials included less than about 7.5 weight percent silver, such as from about 1 to about 5 weight percent silver. Thus, embodiments of the disclosed sorbent materials include from about 0.2 to about 2 weight percent platinum and/or palladium and from about 1 to about 50 weight percent silver, such as from about 1 to about 10 weight percent or from 2 to about 7.5 weight percent silver.
The materials of the invention can adsorb oxides of sulfur present in the gases, in particular exhaust gases. These materials are capable of adsorbing SOx at a temperature which is generally in the range of from about 50░ C. to about 650░ C., preferably from about 100░ C. to about 600░ C., more typically from about 150░ C. to about 550░ C.
For diesel engines the temperature of the exhaust gas typically is from about 150░ C. to 500░ C. and rarely exceeds 600░ C. Advantageously, the presently disclosed sorbents can be regenerated by desorption at the typical operating temperatures of combustion engines, including diesel engines, so that it is not necessary to control the temperature of the sorbent during the absorption and desorption phases. As referred to herein, regenerating a sorbent means removing a sorbed material such that the sorbent capacity of the sorbent material is increased or renewed. Specifically, the disclosed sorbents can be regenerated at a temperature of from about 50░ C. to about 650░ C., such as at from about 150░ C. to about 550░ C., including at from about 200░ C. to about 500░ C., such as from about 250░ C. to about 500░ C., and typically at from about 300░ C. to about 450░ C.
The materials used in the disclosed processes are thus suitable for sorbing oxides of sulfur present in the exhaust gases of stationary engines or, particularly, automotive diesel engines or spark ignition (lean burn) engines, but also in the gases from gas turbines operating with gas or liquid fuels. These exhaust gases typically contain oxides of sulfur in the range of a few tens to a few thousands of parts per million (ppm) and can contain comparable amounts of reducing compounds (CO, H2, hydrocarbons) and nitrogen oxides. These exhaust gases might also contain larger quantities of oxygen (1% to close to 20% by volume) and steam, though the present sorbents can be effective in oxygen-free environments as well. The sorbent material disclosed herein can be used with HSVs (hourly space velocity, corresponding to the ratio of the volume of the monolith to the gas flow rate) for the exhaust gas generally in the range of from about 500 to about 150,000 h−1, such as from about 5,000 to 100,000 h−1.
In one embodiment the currently disclosed sorbent materials are capable of absorbing a substantial amount of SOx, including sulfur dioxide from a combustion waste stream. As referred to herein a sorbent bed that sorbs a particular compound or material is referred to as a trap. For example a bed of the presently disclosed sorbent material that absorbs SOx may be referred to as an SOx trap. Certain examples of SOx traps prepared using the present sorbent materials are capable of absorbing 90% or more of the sulfur dioxide present in a waste stream, such as 95% or more of sulfur dioxide present in the stream. In one embodiment an SOx trap absorbs 97% or more of sulfur dioxide present in a waste stream.
The currently disclosed sorbent materials can be used in any application to absorb SOx. Nonetheless, embodiments of the presently disclosed sorbents are particularly well adapted for use in controlling emissions from combustion engines generally and diesel engines in particular. Examples of the presently disclosed materials overcome the limitations previously described absorbents used to control emissions from combustion engines. For example, one embodiment disclosed herein is a regenerable sulfur trap that absorbs SO2 during lean conditions and can be regenerated during the short rich conditions that also regenerate NOx traps. In addition, not only do the present materials absorb SOx, but placing an emissions device including these materials upstream of a NOx trap and/or particulate filter enhances the overall control of emissions from combustion engines.
In one embodiment, a disclosed SOx sorbent is regenerated under similar conditions as a NOx trap. For example, NOx traps can be regenerated under the reducing conditions of a rich exhaust stream. Likewise, in one embodiment the disclosed SOx sorbents undergo desorption and regeneration under rich conditions. Lean conditions are understood to be those under which there is more oxygen (O2) present than is required for complete combustion of fuel. Thus, there is substantially complete fuel oxidation with remaining oxygen. Conversely, rich conditions are understood to be those under which incomplete fuel oxidation occurs and the oxygen concentration is lower. Rich conditions typically are characterized by the presence of an organic material, elevated hydrogen levels, reduced oxygen levels, elevated carbon monoxide levels, elevated carbon dioxide levels, lower levels of nitrous oxide and/or lower levels of nitric oxide. In general the characteristics of rich exhaust compositions are known to those of skill in the art. Certain examples of rich exhaust streams include those wherein the oxygen concentration is 75% or less of the oxygen concentration in a conventional exhaust concentration and at least about 0.5% carbon monoxide, H2 and/or a hydrocarbon material. In certain such rich exhaust streams, the sum of the carbon monoxide, H2 and hydrocarbon concentrations is at least about 0.5% even though the concentration of one or more of these components is less than 0.5%. In one embodiment a rich exhaust stream is characterized by reduced oxygen concentrations, such as less than about 1 molar percent molecular oxygen. An exhaust stream can be considered rich with higher oxygen levels if, for example, the exhaust stream includes higher levels of carbon monoxide, hydrogen and/or organic material. For example, an exhaust stream including up to about 4% oxygen could be considered rich if the exhaust stream also included at least about 0.5%, such as 1% carbon monoxide, H2 and/or a hydrocarbon material. For example, such rich exhaust streams could include about 2%, and typically at least about 3% or one or more of one of these materials, such as carbon monoxide, such as at least about 5%. In still other examples a rich exhaust stream is substantially oxygen free. In certain embodiments a rich exhaust stream may be characterized in one aspect by elevated hydrocarbon concentrations, such as at least about 100 ppmw of a hydrocarbon or at least about 300 ppmw of a hydrocarbon. In one embodiment, a rich gas stream is characterized in one aspect by a hydrogen concentration of at least about 1%, such as at least about 2%. In certain embodiments a rich exhaust stream is characterized by elevated concentrations of carbon monoxide and/or carbon dioxide. For example, in one embodiment a rich exhaust stream includes at least about 1 molar percent carbon monoxide and/or at least about 10 molar percent carbon dioxide. Without being limited to a particular theory, it currently is believed that in certain disclosed sorbent systems, platinum sequesters excess oxygen in an exhaust stream such that a lean stream then becomes an effectively rich composition having an excess of organic material. Exemplary rich and lean exhaust compositions are described in Table 2.
In certain embodiments the rich gas stream for regenerating the sorbent material is provided by normal operation of a diesel engine. A rich gas stream suitable for regenerating the sorbent material also can be provided by a reformer that converts a fuel to hydrogen and carbon monoxide (the reformate). Three types of reformer technologies are typically employed (steam reformers, dry reformers, and partial oxidation reformers) to convert hydrocarbon fuel (methane, propane, natural gas, gasoline and the like) to hydrogen using water, carbon dioxide, and oxygen, with byproducts including carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide.
Steam reforming systems involve the use of a fuel and steam (H2O) that is reacted in heated tubes filled with catalysts to convert the hydrocarbons into principally hydrogen and carbon monoxide.
Partial oxidation reformers are based on substoichiometric combustion to achieve the temperatures necessary to reform the hydrocarbon fuel. Decomposition of the fuel to primarily hydrogen and carbon monoxide occurs through thermal reactions at high temperatures of about 600░ C. to about 1,200░ C., and preferably, about 700░ C. to about 1,050░ C. The heat required to drive the reaction is typically supplied by burning a portion of the fuel. Catalysts also have been used with partial oxidation systems (catalytic partial oxidation) to promote conversion of various low sulfur fuels into synthesis gas. The use of a catalyst can accelerate the reforming reactions and can provide this effect at lower reaction temperatures than those that would otherwise be required in the absence of a catalyst. Typically the partial oxidation reforming reaction produces carbon monoxide and hydrogen from methane and oxygen.
Dry reforming involves the creation of hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the absence of water, for example using carbon dioxide. Examples dry reforming reactions convert methane and carbon dioxide to carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
For most working examples silica was employed as a support for both the Pt oxidizing and reducing catalyst and the silver absorbent. The sorbents were prepared typically by incipient wetness impregnation, using aqueous solution mixtures of Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2 and AgNO3 onto a fumed silica support, followed by drying and calcining at 500░ C. in air. Exemplary sorbents prepared are listed in Table 1 along with their methods of preparations. Except for Cab-O-Sil fumed silica, which was obtained from Cabot Corporation, all other chemicals were purchased from Aldrich Chemical Company, Milwaukee, Wis. The sorbents were evaluated as 40-80 mesh or 80-200 mesh granules, formed by pressing finely ground powders into a tablet at 20,000 psi for 5 minutes followed by crushing and screening. Unless otherwise specified, typical measurements employed a 50 mg absorbent sample.
Unless otherwise specified, the simulated diesel engine exhaust stream had the composition set forth in Table 2. Other exhaust streams using different sulfur dioxide concentrations (for example streams having an SO2 concentration of 25 ppm were used in certain examples) or additives, such as steam, are described below.
With reference to Table 2, the recorded percentages are volume-based (molar) measurements. In certain examples, described below, the sorbent materials were evaluated using lean exhaust compositions having 25 ppm sulfur dioxide. Powder XRD diffraction measurements were conducted with a Philips PW3050 diffractometer using Cu Kα radiation and JADE, a commercial software package. Sample powders were mounted in a front-loading, shallow-cavity zero-background quartz holder, and the data were collected from 5░ to 75░ 2θ in step-scan mode using steps of 0.02░. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis was carried out on a Jeol JEM 2010F microscope. Selected area Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy (EDS) was performed on regions of interest using a Links EDS system equipped on the microscope. To obtain TEM images, the as-synthesized powder was dispersed in acetone solution, and then deposited on a Cu-carbon grid.
This example describes determining the SO2 absorption capacity of sample 86D (1 wt % Pt-5 wt % AgŚSiO2) under lean conditions and this sample's SO2 desorption performance under rich conditions.
This example illustrates the superior performance of the presently disclosed sorbent materials as compared to a copper-based adsorbent system.
Further comparison of the present sorbents with copper-based systems, with reference to
This example describes the evaluation of PtŚAgŚSiO2 sorbent systems under lean/rich cycles at different temperatures and with and without steam being present in the feed. The results of this evaluation are recorded in Table 3 and
With reference to Tables 4 and 5, water interferes with both the sorption and desorption of sulfur dioxide. Without being limited to theory, it currently is believed that water hampers the performance of disclosed sorbent materials because water is produced during the lean cycle desorption of sulfur dioxide according to the equation
The effect of steam on the performance of two different sorbent materials was evaluated at various temperatures using 50 mg each of 80-200 mesh particles of sorbent 86D (Table 4) and 118 (Table 5), lean-rich cycling (4 min 100K GHSV lean, 20 sec 10K GHSV rich, test duration: 2 hr for each temperature). Lean steam-containing streams employed in these tests had the composition: 1.2% H2O, 5% CO2, 5.1 ppm SO2, 12% O2, 20 ppm NO2, 178 ppm NO, with the balance being N2. Rich steam-containing streams had the composition: 12% H2O, 1.76% CO, 11% CO2, 293 ppm C3H6, 1.76% H2, balance in N2.
The results recorded in Tables 4 and 5 demonstrate that the presently disclosed sorbent materials effectively adsorb and desorb sulfur dioxide when the waste stream includes steam, particularly at higher temperatures. With continued reference to Tables 4 and 5, sorbent 118, which employs Pt(NH3)4(NO3)2 (rather than H2PtCl6Ę6H2O) as the platinum precursor, is a more effective sorbent for steam-containing feeds.
This example describes the evaluation of a copper-based absorbent, sample 83D, 1 wt % Pt-10 wt % CuŚAl2O3 under lean/rich cycling conditions. The off gas composition during the test is recorded in
This example describes the evaluation of PtŚAgŚSiO2 sorbent systems having different platinum concentrations. With reference to
With reference to Table 6, each absorbent was prepared with 80-200 mesh particle size and subjected to cycling with 20 sec rich feed at 20K hr−1 GHSV and 4 min lean feed with 25 ppm SO2 at 50K hr−1 GHSV, 2 hr test duration at each temperature. The absorbent samples were prepared according to the procedures set forth in Table 1.
This example describes the characterization of sorbent materials before and after cycling using microscopy and spectroscopy. Fresh, and 550░ C. lean/rich cycled absorbents (sample 118) were analyzed using XRD, and TEM-EDS. With reference to
In view of the many possible embodiments to which the principles of the disclosed invention may be applied, it should be recognized that the illustrated embodiments are only preferred examples of the invention and should not be taken as limiting the scope of the invention. Rather, the scope of the invention is defined by the following claims. We therefore claim as our invention all that comes within the scope and spirit of these claims.

Choies Replies: Sorry to make you concerned. The size listed on our website is the flat measurement for the item itself. Usually it would be more accurate to check by cm unit (1 inch=2.54 cm) accordingly. You may measure the length from your waist to your knee to check if this one size would fit.The item is made of polyester with special technology to give you a foam feeling. This good texture can be steam ironed easily from the inner side to keep its shape in good condition, please don't worry. It is very popular (like skater skirt) among our young customers especially in snowy days.Hope you could enjoy the items on our website, thank you! Have a nice day! 02 Mar 2015

Okay, so a few things about this item. I expected a dark forest green but the skirt I got is bright green. Secondly, it is made out of foamwhich is kinda cool because it is how it achieves the highly structured pleat. But during delivery it was creased in the package which looks really bad and the skirt won't sit right because of it. I was very happy about was the elasticated waist otherwise it wo View More

Choies Replies: Sorry to make you concerned. We are sorry about the color, the item would come the same as shown on item description so it is more like light green. All items are taken in kind, but because of lighting problems, we do not rule out the possibility that subtle color difference. Sorry to make you confused, our buyers show is mainly as reference to how it match other garments. The fabric is made of polyester with special technology to give you a foam feeling. This good texture can be steam ironed easily to keep its shape in good condition, please don't worry. Thanks again for your support. Hope you could enjoy this item on our website!

IEEE Standards Association Awards Ceremony
Congratulation Peter!
At the December 5, 2009 IEEE SA Awards Ceremony, the "Ron Waxman Design Automation Standards Committee (DASC) Meritorious Service" award was presented to Dr. Peter Ashenden. He was recognized for "leadership in keeping the Design Automation standards Committee on the path to technical and organizational excellence during its formative years."
While many who may use VHDL might recognize his name from his year of involvement in VHDL standardization and the books he has authored on VHDL and digital logic design, Dr. Ashenden, or Peter as we call him in the DASC, offered his leadership to the standards group several years back.
During Peter's tenure, there were many discussions on by users that corporate participation should play a key role to underpin EDA standards development. Peter set in motion a plan that culminated in strong corporate backing of the development of DASC standards. Peter's key role in the evolution of EDA standard development is justly recognized with this award.
It was great to have Peter at the ceremony, having traveled from Australia to accept his award. Many in the DASC were also on hand for the presentation of the award to Peter, including Ron Waxman, for whom the award is named.

McCray's website highlighted the following campaign themes:
|As I meet residents, the one concern that continues to surface is the need for new leadership. They are ready for a fresh perspective. They want to make sure Baltimore educators have the resources they need to teach and our youth receive the support they need to ensure their success. Residents want state representatives who will advocate for new employment opportunities and support small businesses. They want leaders who work tirelessly to make Baltimore a safer place by focusing on serious crime and helping ex-offenders to seamlessly re-enter society.[1][2]
Elections for the office of Maryland House of Delegates took place in 2014. A primary election took place on June 24, 2014. The general election was held on November 4, 2014. The filing deadline for candidates wishing to run in this election was February 25, 2014. Cory V. McCray and incumbents Talmadge Branch and Cheryl D. Glenn defeated Marques Dent, Kevin W. Parson, Harry Spikes, Robert Stokes, Sr. and Aaron Keith Wilkes in the Democratic primary, while Rick Saffery and Larry O. Wardlow, Jr. were unopposed in the Republican primary. McCray, Branch and Glenn defeated Saffery, Wardlow and Ronald M. Owens-Bey (L) for three seats in the general election.[3][4]
McCray ran for election to the Baltimore City Democratic Party State Central Committee 45th District in the 2010 gubernatorial primary election.[5]

Balaton Cherries Live Up to the Hype
I just got my first small crop of Balaton (on Mahaleb rootstock) cherries and they are indeed an acceptable substitute for sweet cherries. I have a Bing beside the Balaton, and taste comparisons between the fully ripe fruit of both puts the Balaton in a very favorable light. The Balaton isn't as sweet or as firm of flesh, but is comparable in flavor. I also have Montmorency, Northstar, and Surefire sour cherries, which Balatons are superior to by an order of magnitude. The RIPE Balatons are suitable for fresh eating by anyone's standards.
MK, Got my Balatons from c-onursery.com, my favorite nursery. I prune all my fruit trees about 6-8' high and net them. I spray only dormant oil occasionally, as needed (it's been several years). I just take my losses from insects, mostly earwigs, which haven't bothered the Balaton, but hammer the bing.
I can vouch for Balaton. Very productive and tasty. This year though, I was disappointed by the loss of flowerbuds due to warm winter/spring and late frost.
As far as pests, I have had none. This is in contrast to my sweet cherries that always seem to have some pest issue to deal with.

We so enjoyed our one-night stay at 1842 in Macon! We were in town for an engagement party and it was the most perfect spot to spend the night. We enjoyed a cocktail and some yummy small bites before our party in the front lobby. We stayed in the Benjamin Hawkins room and it was great. King bed was super comfortable, new TV in a large wardrobe, sweet little bathroom that was very clean and had all we need. Our breakfast the following morning was delicious, too! I had the soufflé and it was great! Joanne was such a treat. I forget the name of the sweet, gray-haired lady that greeted us upon arrival with a warm welcome, but Joanne gave us a very fond farewell! Would recommend 1842 highly to anyone visiting Macon. We ate a great burger at the Rookery, too, before hitting the road back to Atlanta! Enjoy!

We truly enjoyed our stay - and stayed longer than planned as a result. Would definitely return. No effort or detail was spared in renovating this 1842 mansion with a historic but checkered past into an authentic-feeling 'grand antebellum' experience. The only issue I'd communicate to the management is that all the effort was made in the mid 1990's - and small details - like old style TVs, ancient looking room thermostats, etc. betray that no updating has taken place since the grand renovation of 20 years ago. This has a minor but nagging effect that the Inn's days are numbered if they don't start paying attention. Go while it is still there!!!!

We have stayed in dozens of B & B's literally all over the country. 1842 Inn is absolutely one of our finest experiences - top to bottom. Great people and service. Fabulous building and rooms. Top notch in all respects.

Nice location with similar buildings close by, but close fairly to sketchy areas. We watched a bowl game after dinner and the TV was small and difficult to see, as there was limited ability to adjust the line of sight. A good value and we'd likely go back if we visit Macon again.

I recently stayed at the 1842 Inn in Macon, GA and everything was a pleasure! From the beautiful decor, only enhanced by touches of Christmas, to the fabulous service, I was truly pleased and will back again, when I travel from Atlanta to SC. I found the advice and assistance of all the desk staff to be particularly helpful as were the printed directions and maps to the recommended spots. Lastly, the Mint Juleps were fabulous (we asked for the recipe the next day!) as were the wonderful selection of aperitivo items to accompany the pre-dinner drinks. I felt as if I was at home -- thank you 1842 Inn and your excellent staff for all the attention to detail, and your hospitality!

Lovely inn in a charming city. Pay up for the bigger older rooms, it's worth it.

We were passing through from NC to FL and knew we wanted to stay in Macon. My mom and I had a lovely time immersed in another time period. We toured the Hays House and Cannonball house the next morning. The service at 1842 Inn was very courteous. I loved the evening tray of tea and cookies, very elegant and gave a warm, homey touch. I appreciated the cleanliness of the Inn, inside and out. A bit pricey for an overnight, but if you appreciate old homes or architecture, it is more than an overnight--it is a memorable experience!

J.C. Hallman had only a passing awareness of writer Nicholson Baker when he quite impulsively became obsessed with the man and his work. He not only had erroneously thought that Baker was British, but considered him a "nonessential" writer. That indifference changed into fixation nearly overnight. Hallman plunged into all of Baker's fiction and nonfiction, a project that morphed into the deeper contemplation of literature and life that he chronicles with candor, humor and insight in B & Me: A True Story of Literary Arousal.
The most notable assassination in history, of probably the single most influential man in European history, occurred in 44 B.C. The event changed the world, but not as the assassins had planned. Why and how did it happen? In The Death of Caesar, history and classics professor Barry Strauss offers both excellent historical detective work and riveting prose.
The Spanish Civil War, fought between 1936 and 1939, was the first struggle against fascism in Europe as the powers of Germany and Italy, for their own purposes, joined with General Francisco Franco's Nationalist (rebel) forces to oust the elected government. Although the Western democracies adopted a policy of nonintervention, volunteers came from many countries to assist the Republican government in the hope that fascism could be stopped. Unfortunately, five months after the Spanish war ended, World War II began in Europe. As Pulitzer Prize-winning author Richard Rhodes (The Making of the Atomic Bomb and Dark Sun) shows in his fast-paced, often moving and revealing new book Hell and Good Company: The Spanish Civil War and the World It Made, the earlier war served in numerous ways as a laboratory for the larger war.
If Elena Gorokhova's splendid second memoir merely conveyed to readers a vivid, almost visceral understanding of the sometimes paralyzing sense of dislocation she experienced arriving in the United States in 1980 from the Soviet Union, that alone would be reason enough to read it. On her first day in the U.S., for instance, she visits the air-conditioned Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum with the American husband she barely knows, and wonders, "Why are there no smells? Russia assaults you in your nostrils: milk always on the verge of turning sour, the wet wool of winter coats we wear everyday for five months, rubber phone booth tiles buckled with urine. . . ."
In mid-19th-century America, newspapers were the primary sources of information and opinion. Most newspaper publishers and editors were closely aligned with politicians and, with few exceptions, opinions were emphasized more than news and loyalty to political parties more than the public interest. It was a time of significant change for the newspaper industry with technological innovations such as steam-driven printing presses and, most importantly, the telegraph, making delivery of the news much faster.
When we think about technology and innovation, the names that come to mind immediately are Bill Gates and Steve Jobs—maybe Steve Wozniak or Paul Allen for the more hard-core geeks among us.
At the time Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, he did not have a definite plan for dealing with the postwar South. Although 360,000 Union troops had died during the Civil War, the North had not suffered the widespread devastation of the Southern states. The nine million white citizens and four million former slaves who lived in the former Confederacy faced a grim future.
As a new school year begins, four new titles reveal that teachers can but do change lives in classrooms every day. Chronicling how teachers adapt to change, improve their methods and even learn from their own students, these books will appeal to all those interested in the impact of education.
Leonardo da Vinci was an outlier in so many ways: a peripatetic polymath, handsome, unmarried, an innovator, unquestionably an artistic genius. He doesn't typify his era any more than geniuses ever do. Leonardo was a party of one.
The 1970s were a tumultuous time in the U.S, defined by such events as the Vietnam War; the Watergate scandal; the Arab oil boycott; serious economic problems; and shocking revelations about illegal activities by our intelligence agencies. At one point, a Gallup poll found that 68 percent of Americans believed the government lied to them. All of this happened as the nation, somewhat dispirited, celebrated its bicentennial. Drawing on a vast array of sources, Rick Perlstein captures all of this and more in his sweeping, insightful and richly rewarding The Invisible Bridge: The Fall of Nixon and the Rise of Reagan.

I am trying to build a library for inclusion in other iOS/Mac OS X projects. I currently have two separate projects that I switch between to build the library. I would like to have one project and two different schemes so that another person in my team can just change the scheme and get the kind of library they want. I would like to avoid having to manually add a new file to each separate project individually when I need to do so. Thoughts?

As many as 10,000 people will be recruited into the State police by next year, Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan has said.
The Minister was addressing a gathering after inaugurating a new police station at Vidya Nagar here on Saturday. The passing out of 3,000 personnel undergoing training would be held next month, the Minister said.
Over 4,000 vacancies arise each year in the force and these would be filled in a time-bound manner, he added.
