N2O Decomposition: Caprolactam
Plants
Certain processes for the manufacture of caprolactam can have high
N2O emissions. The CRI N2O abatement technology is highly effective
in reducing N2O emissions from caprolactam plants.
The CRI N2O decomposition catalyst is stable in the presence of the
trace quantities of sulfur oxide (SOx) sometimes present in caprolactam
process tail gas.
A detailed technical description of the technology can be found under
Nitric Acid Applications.
