Heat Generation Technology Landscaping Study, Scotland's
Heat Generation Technology Landscaping Study, Scotland’s Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP) BRE August 2017 Summary This landscaping study has reviewed the status and suitability of a number of near-term heat generation technologies that are not already significantly established in the market-place. The study has been conducted to inform Scottish Government on the status and the technologies so that they can make informed decisions on the potential suitability of the technologies for inclusion within Scotland’s Energy Efficiency Programme (SEEP). Some key findings which have emerged from the research include: • High temperature, hybrid and gas driven heat pumps all have the potential to increase the uptake of low carbon heating solutions in the UK in the short to medium term. • High temperature heat pumps are particularly suited for off-gas grid retrofit projects, whereas hybrids and gas driven products are suited to on-gas grid properties. They may all be used with no or limited upgrades to existing heating systems, and each offers some advantages (but also some disadvantages) compared with standard electric heat pumps. • District heating may continue to have a significant role to play – albeit more on 3rd and 4th generation systems than the large high temperature systems typical in other parts of Europe in the 1950s and 60s – due to lower heating requirements of modern retrofitted buildings. • Longer term, the development of low carbon heating fuel markets may also present significant opportunity e.g. biogas, and possibly hydrogen. -
5Th-Generation Thermox WDG Flue Gas Combustion Analyzer
CONTROL EXCLUSIVE 5th-Generation Thermox WDG Flue Gas Combustion Analyzer “For more than 40 years, we have been a leader in combustion gas analysis,” says Mike Fuller, divison VP of sales and marketing and business development for Ametek Process Instruments, “and we believe the WDG-V is the combustion analyzer of the future.” WDG analyzers are based on a zirconium oxide cell that provides a reliable and cost-effective solution for measuring excess oxygen in flue gas as well as CO and methane levels. This information allows operators to obtain the highest fuel effi- ciency, while lowering emissions for NOx, CO and CO2. The zir- conium oxide cell responds to the difference between the concen- tration of oxygen in the flue gas versus an air reference. To assure complete combustion, the flue gas should contain several percent oxygen. The optimum excess oxygen concentration is dependent on the fuel type (natural gas, hydrocarbon liquids and coal). The WDG-V mounts directly to the process flange, and is heated to maintain all sample-wetted components above the acid dewpoint. Its air-operated aspirator draws a sample into the ana- lyzer and returns it to the process. A portion of the sample rises into the convection loop past the combustibles and oxygen cells, Ametek’s WDG-V flue gas combustion analyzer meets SIL-2 and then back into the process. standards for safety instrumented systems. This design gives a very fast response and is perfect for process heat- ers. It features a reduced-drift, hot-wire catalytic detector that is resis- analyzer with analog/HART, discrete and Modbus RS-485 bi-direc- tant to sulfur dioxide (SO ) degradation, and the instrument is suitable 2 tional communications, or supplied in a typical “sensor/controller” for process streams up to 3200 ºF (1760 ºC). -

AP Chemistry Free Response
AP Chemistry Exam Reactions: Questions and Answers With the new format of the exam in 2007 and the availability of both questions and answers on the web at AP Central (http://apcentral.collegeboard.com:80/apc/public/courses/4606.html), I have determined not to update this page any longer. Please create an account as a teacher at AP Central and navigate to the full exams and scoring rubrics which are available back to 2003 Beginning in 2007, question 4 is no longer 5 out of 8 responses but rather three required responses. Also, in addition to writing the reactants and products, the equation must be balanced and there is a question about the chemical reaction. 2007 (a) A solution of sodium hydroxide is added to a solution of lead(II) nitrate. If 1.0 L volumes of 1.0 M solutions of sodium hydroxide and lead(II) nitrate are mixed together, now many moles of product(s) will be produced? Assume the reaction goes to completion. (b) Excess nitric acid is added to solid calcium carbonate. Briefly explain why statues made of marble (calcium carbonate) displayed outdoors in urban areas are deteriorating. (c) A solution containing silver(I) ion (an oxidixing agent) is mixed with a; solution containing iron(II) ion (a reducing agent). If the contents of the reaction mixture described above are filtered, what substance(s), if any, would remain on the filter paper? - 2+ → (a) (i) Balanced equation: 2OH + Pb Pb(OH)2 (s) (ii) The moles of each reactant are obtained by multiplying the volume times the molarity. -

Nitrogen oxide - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Page 1 of 3 Nitrogen oxide From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Nitrogen oxide can refer to a binary compound of oxygen and nitrogen, or a mixture of such compounds: Contents ■ Nitric oxide (NO), nitrogen(II) oxide ■ Nitrogen dioxide (NO2), nitrogen(IV) oxide ■ 1 NOx ■ Nitrous oxide (N2O), nitrogen(I) oxide ■ 2 Derivatives ■ Nitrate radical (NO3), nitrogen(VI) oxide ■ 3 See also ■ Dinitrogen trioxide (N2O3), nitrogen(II,IV) oxide ■ 4 References ■ Dinitrogen tetroxide (N2O4), nitrogen(IV) oxide ■ Dinitrogen pentoxide (N2O5), nitrogen(V) oxide In atmospheric chemistry and air pollution and related fields, nitrogen oxides refers specifically to NOx [1][2] (NO and NO2). Only the first three of these compounds can be isolated at room temperature. N2O3, N2O4, and N2O5 all decompose rapidly at room temperature. Nitrate radical is very reactive. N2O is stable and rather unreactive at room temperature, while NO and NO2 are quite reactive but nevertheless quite stable when isolated.

They are produced during combustion, especially at high temperature. These two chemicals are important trace species in Earth's atmosphere. In the troposphere, during daylight, NO reacts with partly oxidized organic species (or the peroxy radical) to form NO2, which is then photolyzed by sunlight to reform NO: NO + CH3O2 → NO2 + CH3O NO2 + sunlight → NO + O The oxygen atom formed in the second reaction then goes on to form ozone; this series of reactions is the main source of tropospheric ozone. -

The Chemical Behaviors of Nitrogen Dioxide Absorption in Sulfite Solution
Article The Chemical Behaviors of Nitrogen Dioxide Absorption in Sulfite Solution Ye Sun, Xiaowei Hong, Tianle Zhu *, Xiaoyan Guo and Deyuan Xie School of Space and Environment, Beihang University, Beijing 100191, China; [email protected] (Y.S.); [email protected] (X.H.); [email protected] (X.G.); [email protected] (D.X.) * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +86-10-8231-4215 Academic Editor: Agustín Bueno López Received: 14 March 2017; Accepted: 6 April 2017; Published: 12 April 2017 Abstract: The simultaneous removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and sulfur dioxide (SO2) by absorption is considered to be one of the most promising technologies for flue gas treatment, and sulfite is the main component of the absorption solution. To understand the chemical behaviors of the NO2 absorption in sulfite solution, the absorption time dependences of concentrations of nitrogen and sulfur compositions in both gas phase and liquid phases were investigated by flue gas analyzer, Ion chromatography (IC), Gas chromatography (GC), and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FTIR) methods using a bubbling reactor. The mass equilibrium of the N and S compositions were also studied. The results indicate that sulfite concentration plays a vital role in NO2 absorption. The main absorption products are NO3− and NO2−, and NO2− can be converted into NO3− in the presence of oxygen. Besides, about 4% to 9% by-products of S compositions are formed, and 4% to 11% by-products of N compositions such as NO, N2, N2O5, N2O, and HNO3 in the gas phase were detected in the emissions from the bubbling reactor. On the basis of N and S compositions, a possible pathway of NO2 absorption in sulfite solution was proposed.
