(Xinhua/Yue Yuewei) BEIJING, July 4 (Xinhua) -- The fourth High-level Environment and Climate Dialogue between China and the European Union was held Tuesday in Beijing, with both sides agreeing to deepen cooperation and play a leading role in global environmental and climate governance. Chinese Vice Premier Ding Xuexiang and European Commission Executive Vice President Frans Timmermans held the dialogue. Ding, also a Standing Committee member of the Political Bureau of the Communist Party of China Central Committee, said that the two sides should implement the important consensus reached by the leaders of both sides, promote China-EU cooperation on environment and climate to achieve more results, and make greater contributions to global sustainable development. Ding pointed out that China attaches great importance to ecological and environmental protection and climate change, unswervingly promotes green and low-carbon development, and has embarked on a series of major measures to ensure the realization of the carbon peak and carbon neutrality goals on schedule. "China is ready to work with the EU to make better use of the dialogue on environment and climate, further build consensus, enhance mutual trust, enrich and expand cooperation, and open up more space for the development of China-EU relations," Ding said, adding that the two sides should tap cooperation potential in renewable energy, green and low-carbon technologies, carbon markets, climate change response, and ecological and environmental protection. The two sides should jointly advance the multilateral process on environment and climate, practice genuine multilateralism, work for the success of the 28th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change, implement the outcomes of the COP15, and join hands in building a community for all life on Earth, said Ding. Timmermans said that the EU and China have played an important role in the global response to climate change. The EU is willing to deepen cooperation with China in addressing climate change, the circular economy, biodiversity protection, and other fields.

DeNOx SCR Catalyst Industry's Compound Annual Growth Rate will be 10.55% from 2023-2030 North America DeNOx SCR Catalyst market size is projected to USD 7,058.61 Million by 2029. DeNOx SCR Catalyst Market, Application segment Analysis SCR Catalysts for Automotive The SCR Catalysts for Automotive segment revenue will be USD 12,091.20 Million by 2029. Based Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) is a cutting-edge active emissions control system that decreases nitrogen oxide (NOx) emissions from contemporary diesel cars and equipment to near-zero levels. The SCR system is made up of many components that are bundled along with other components of the emissions control system. SCR Catalysts for Power Plants The selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system eliminates nitrogen oxides (NOx) from flue gas generated by power plant boilers and other combustion sources. It is used as the catalyst which is a critical component of this power plant system. DeNOx/SCR systems are utilized in a variety of power plants, including gas-fired, oil-fired, coal-fired, biomass-fired, and others. SCR Catalysts for Cement Plants In the cement kiln, low temperature selective catalytic reduction is being employed for deep NOx reduction. It is also employed in cement facilities with significant baseline ammonia and/or SO2 emissions. In these facilities, SCR catalyst is used to avoid visible plums, dew point corrosion, and Ammonium Bisulphate deposits in filters/on fans. SCR Catalysts for Refinery Plants In refineries, such as chemical refineries, SCR catalyst is employed. Its refinery uses include Fired Heaters for steam reforming natural gas to create hydrogen, gas regeneration from fluid catalyst crackers, process heaters for cokers, reformers, alkylation units, and so on, steam boilers, and co-generation units, among others. SCR Catalysts for Steel Plants SCR catalyst is used in steel sintering industry for NOx emission control. As there are several laws are regulated on hourly average of NOx emission concentration of sintering machine, SCR is used in steel plants.

BY ETHAN BROWN, OPINION CONTRIBUTOR - 06/12/23 1:30 PM ET FILE – Steam billows from a coal-fired power plant Nov. 18, 2021, in Craig, Colo. The Supreme Court on Thursday, June 30, 2022, limited how the nation’s main anti-air pollution law can be used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from power plants. By a 6-3 vote, with conservatives in the majority, the court said that the Clean Air Act does not give the Environmental Protection Agency broad authority to regulate greenhouse gas emissions from power plants that contribute to global warming. (AP Photo/Rick Bowmer, File) With the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) releasing tough new carbon emissions standards and the state of West Virginia’s promising a rematch in court, one might think the EPA has gone rogue. It hasn’t. On April 12, the EPA unveiled new vehicle emissions standards that would mandate auto manufacturers lowering the carbon dioxide emissions from their vehicles to a company-wide average of 82 grams per mile by 2032. Only a month later, the EPA announced new emissions standards for power plants, requiring natural gas plants to capture 90 percent of their emissions by 2035 and coal plants to capture 90 percent by 2030 (unless they have set plans to retire).

Dust filter bags are suitable for medium to low temperature flue gas (180~290℃), but when the flue gas temperature is high, it is necessary to lower the temperature of the flue gas before it enters the bag filter by using processes such as water cooling or air cooling to protect the filter bags from damage due to high temperature. In recent years, with the continuous improvement of nitrogen oxide emission standards in China (Due to strong environmental regulation by the government and strict punitive measures, which have increased the emission costs for businesses), the integrated denitrification-dust removal bag filters have started to receive attention. The key technology of this equipment lies in the development of "catalyst-coated filter bags" that are more suitable for bag filters and can meet various operating conditions. This has been driven by the need to develop a new generation of dust filtration products at an accelerated rate. The current mainstream theoretical view is that catalysts such as manganese-based/vanadium-based catalysts are adhered to the surface of filter bags, and ammonia gas is injected into the interior of the dust collector (or at the inlet of the dust collector). Through the action of the catalyst, the ammonia gas reacts with nitrogen oxides in the flue gas to generate nitrogen gas. This principle is similar to the Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) technology, where under the action of a catalyst, the reducing agent NH3 selectively reduces NO and NO2 to N2 under temperature conditions of 180-400°C, while hardly undergoing the oxidative reaction of NH3 with O2. This reduces the consumption of the reducing agent, helps control ammonia leakage, and lowers operating costs. Over the years, some Chinese experts and scholars have been devoted to the research and development of catalyst-coated filter media. Among them, a group of academicians from the Chinese Academy of Sciences advocate the use of surfactant dispersion method, coating method, and suction filtration method to load manganese dioxide/polyacrylonitrile catalyst onto PPS filter media. The catalyst loading amount is approximately 44g/㎡. Under laboratory conditions, PPS filter bags with catalyst coating achieved a denitrification efficiency of up to 80% at 180°C. The second viewpoint advocates the in-situ growth of three different catalyst components, namely Mn-CeOx, Mn-SnOx, and Mn-Ce-SnOx, on the surface of PPS fibers through mechanisms related to redox reactions. The results show that the three different catalyst-coated filter media, under laboratory conditions, can achieve denitrification rates of up to 100% when the preparation conditions include a KMnO4/PPS mass ratio of 0.6 and a denitrification reaction temperature of 180°C. Furthermore, even the filter media coated with Mn-Ce-SnOx catalyst can achieve a denitrification rate of 100% at a reaction temperature of 120°C. In addition, some experts advocate the use of ultrasonic dispersion method to attach 6%...
