Solvent Recycling An ecological assessment of the improvements by the ELOSORB technique

Abstract

Applying end-of-pipe technologies like catalytic, regenerative or thermal combustion, the ELOSORB process contributes significantly to the lowering of cumulative CO2 emissions in the treatment of solvent emissions. In this contribution, the opportunity for an ecologically reasonable solvent recycling process with and without ELOSORB is derived and discussed. Significant improvements in the concentration range from 0.5 to 5 g/Nm3 have been found applying ELOSORB
