Molecular sieve is a material with a highly ordered porous structure, which has a wide range of applications in the field of exhaust gas treatment due to its unique selective adsorption properties, thermal stability, and chemical stability. The following provides a detailed introduction to the specific applications of molecular sieves in exhaust gas treatment:

1. Main application areas

1) Chemical industry: Molecular sieves can be used for the treatment of waste gases in chemical production processes, such as the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs).

2) Pharmaceutical industry: Molecular sieves can be used for the treatment of waste gases in drug production processes, such as the removal of organic solvents and the purification of odorous substances.

3) Printing industry: Molecular sieves can be used to remove organic solvents during the printing process, reducing the emission of harmful substances in the air.

4) Furniture manufacturing industry: Molecular sieves can be used to remove harmful substances such as formaldehyde in the furniture manufacturing process, improving indoor air quality.

1. Specific application scenarios

1) VOCs treatment: Zeolite molecular sieve is an important material for adsorbing VOCs waste gas, and the most widely used are zeolite molecular sieve rotors and honeycomb zeolite materials for VOCs adsorption and desorption. Molecular sieves can efficiently adsorb VOCs in exhaust gases, such as benzene, toluene, xylene, etc. Especially for low concentration and high air volume VOCs waste gas, molecular sieve adsorption technology performs well and can significantly improve the efficiency of waste gas treatment.

2) Nitrogen oxide (NOx) treatment: Molecular sieves can serve as catalyst carriers for selective catalytic reduction of nitrogen oxides, converting them into nitrogen gas (N2) and water (H2O). For example, in diesel exhaust treatment, vanadium, tungsten, or molybdenum based catalysts loaded on molecular sieves are widely used in SCR systems.

3) Cryogenic adsorption: In cryogenic adsorption systems, molecular sieves are used to adsorb and remove impurities such as water vapor, carbon dioxide (CO2), and VOCs from exhaust gases.

4) Diesel particulate matter capture: Molecular sieves are used as catalyst carriers in diesel particulate matter capture devices to help reduce particulate emissions.

5) Acid gas removal: Molecular sieves can adsorb acidic gases in exhaust gases, such as hydrogen sulfide (H2S), carbon dioxide (CO2), sulfur dioxide (SO2), etc., thereby reducing the harm of these gases to the environment and human health. In the fields of chemical, petroleum, pharmaceutical and other industries, exhaust gas contains a large amount of harmful substances such as phenol, formaldehyde, acetone, etc. Molecular sieves can selectively adsorb these substances to reduce the concentration of exhaust gas emissions.

6) Indoor air purification: Molecular sieves are applied to indoor air purification systems to remove pollutants such as formaldehyde and other VOCs from indoor air.

7) Industrial process exhaust gas pretreatment: In some industrial processes, molecular sieve rotors are used for exhaust gas pretreatment. Through adsorption and desorption processes, pollutants in the exhaust gas are concentrated and then subjected to centralized treatment. Not only can VOCs be adsorbed here, but also the exhaust gas can be dehumidified.

8) Non road mobile machinery emission control: In the emission control system of non road mobile machinery (such as construction machinery and agricultural machinery), molecular sieves serve as catalyst carriers to help reduce pollutant emissions in exhaust gas.

9) Biogas and biogas treatment: Molecular sieves are used for the treatment of biogas and biogas to remove impurities and pollutants, improve gas quality for use in fuel cells or other applications.

3. Advantages of Molecular Sieve Waste Gas Treatment Technology

1) Efficiency: Molecular sieves have a high specific surface area and uniform pore size, which can effectively adsorb pollutants in exhaust gases.

2) Energy saving: The molecular sieve rotary system can continuously treat exhaust gas and achieve molecular sieve regeneration, with low energy consumption.

3) Environmental friendliness: Molecular sieves can recover valuable substances from exhaust gases, reduce resource waste, and lower environmental pollution.

4. Development Trends

1) Efficiency and environmental friendliness: With the continuous improvement of environmental protection requirements, molecular sieve technology needs to further improve purification efficiency and reduce pollution to the environment.

2) Energy saving and low-cost: The usage cost of molecular sieve technology is relatively high, so it is necessary to further reduce the usage cost and improve economic benefits.

3) Combination and modularization: In order to meet the needs of different waste gas treatment scenarios, molecular sieve technology can be combined with other waste gas treatment technologies to form a combined waste gas treatment system. At the same time, molecular sieve technology can also be modularized to facilitate users' selection and combination according to actual situations.

4) Intelligence and automation: Molecular sieve technology can further enhance intelligence and automation, improve the degree of automation and intelligence of equipment, and reduce manual intervention and operational difficulty.

In summary, molecular sieves have broad application prospects and important environmental significance in the field of exhaust gas treatment. By selecting the appropriate type of molecular sieve, optimizing process conditions, and combining with other technologies, efficient and economical waste gas treatment can be achieved.
