  2. Selective non-catalytic reduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_non-catalytic...

    Selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) is a method to lessen nitrogen oxide emissions in conventional power plants that burn biomass, waste and coal.The process involves injecting either ammonia or urea into the firebox of the boiler at a location where the flue gas is between 1,400 and 2,000 °F (760 and 1,090 °C) to react with the nitrogen oxides formed in the combustion process.

  3. Oxygen reduction reaction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen_reduction_reaction

    Rather than combustion, organisms rely on elaborate sequences of electron-transfer reactions, often coupled to proton transfer. The direct reaction of O 2 with fuel is precluded by the oxygen reduction reaction, which produces water and adenosine triphosphate. Cytochrome c oxidase affects the oxygen reduction reaction by binding O 2 in a heme ...

  4. NOx - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NOx

    Selective catalytic reduction (SCR) and selective non-catalytic reduction (SNCR) reduce post combustion NO x by reacting the exhaust with urea or ammonia to produce nitrogen and water. SCR is now being used in ships, [38] diesel trucks and in some diesel cars.

  5. Synthetic fuel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synthetic_fuel

    The carbonization conversion occurs through pyrolysis or destructive distillation, and it produces condensable coal tar, oil and water vapor, non-condensable synthetic gas, and a solid residue-char. The condensed coal tar and oil are then further processed by hydrogenation to remove sulfur and nitrogen species, after which they are processed ...

  6. Thermochemical cycle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermochemical_cycle

    During the reduction half-cycle of the stochiometric cycle, the metal oxide is reduced and forms a new metal oxide with different oxidation states (Fe 3 O 4 → 3FeO + 1/2 O 2); a non-stochiometric cycle's reduction of the metal oxide will produce vacancies, often oxygen vacancies, but the crystal structure remains stable and only a portion of ...

  7. Water splitting - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_splitting

    The S–I cycle consists of three chemical reactions whose net reactant is water and whose net products are hydrogen and oxygen. All other chemicals are recycled. The S–I process requires an efficient source of heat. More than 352 thermochemical cycles have been described for water splitting by thermolysis. [21]

  8. Methane monooxygenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Methane_monooxygenase

    One atom is reduced to water by a 2 e- reduction and the second is incorporated into the substrate to yield methanol: [10] CH 4 + O 2 + NAD(P)H + H +-> CH 3 OH + NAD(P) + + H 2 O Two forms of MMO have been found: soluble and particulate. The best characterized forms of soluble MMO contains three protein components: hydroxylase, the β unit, and ...

  9. Diesel exhaust fluid - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diesel_exhaust_fluid

    Selective catalytic reduction is used to reduce the amount of NO x released into the atmosphere. DEF from a separate tank is injected into the exhaust pipeline, and the exhaust heat decomposes it to ammonia. Within the SCR catalyst, the NO x are reduced by the ammonia into water and nitrogen, which are both nonpolluting. The water and nitrogen ...
