A method and device for the catalytic decomposition of laughing gas in a laughing-gas-bearing gas. The method includes diluting the laughing-gas-bearing gas with a diluting gas, while forming a laughing-gas-bearing charge gas. The laughing-gas bearing charge gas is passed through a heat-exchange step where heat exchange occurs with an exhaust. A heating step occurs for occasional heating of the laughing-gas-bearing charge gas in a fixed-bed reactor for catalytic decomposition of the laughing gas. In some embodiments the diluting gas is dried, and at least a part of the exhaust from the catalytic decomposition of the laughing gas is mixed with the laughing-gas-bearing charge gas upstream of the catalytic decomposition of the laughing gas.

Process and device for decomposing laughing gas

A device and method for the decomposition of laughing gas including a gas inlet for supplying a laughing-gas-bearing gas; a first heat-exchanger for the exchange of heat between an exhaust and the laughing-gas-bearing gas; a heating device for occasional heating of the laughing-gas-bearing gas and a fixed-bed reactor in which a catalyst is included in order to decompose the laughing gas. The device also includes a gas outlet, through which exhaust leaving the fixed-bed reactor can be taken away through the heat exchanger. The device may be used to implement a method where the catalyst for decomposition of laughing gas is maintained at temperatures below 800&#xb0; C. and in which the fixed-bed reactor is arranged as an adiabatic reactor.

Apparatus and process for decomposing dinitrogen monoxide in an adiabatic fixed bed reactor

A process is described for scrubbing of NO.sub.x and/or SO.sub.2 from waste gases as, e.g., flue gases, which employs a scrubbing agent comprising Fe(II) ions in nonaqueous solvents. The scrubbing agent can be regenerated after its loading simply by heating and/or reduction of pressure, after which the scrubbing agent can be reused. A slight reduction of the Fe(II) ion concentration occurring by oxidation can be balanced by simple means. The process makes it possible to scrub out NO or NO.sub.x alone or together with SO.sub.2. If SO.sub.2 alone is to be scrubbed out of a gas mixture, addition of Fe(II) salt can be eliminated.

Process for scrubbing of NO and/or SO.sub.2 from gas mixtures

A process for scrubbing acid gases, especially carbon dioxide, from gas mixtures with an aqueous amine solution serving as the scrubbing liquid in which hexamethylene diamine serves as the amine. The concentration of the hexamethylene diamine in the aqueous solution is 5 to 40% by weight, preferably 25 to 35% by weight.
