    Abstract: Systems for treating wastewater containing organic nitrogen compounds are disclosed. The systems include a wet air oxidation unit having an oxidation zone, a catalytic zone, and a metal-based catalyst. Methods of treating wastewater containing organic nitrogen compounds are also disclosed. The methods include contacting the wastewater with an oxidant to produce a mixed liquor, contacting the mixed liquor with a metal-based catalyst to catalyze ammonia and produce a gas containing nitrogen and a liquid effluent containing nitrogen. Methods of retrofitting a wet air oxidation unit including providing a metal-based catalyst are also disclosed. Methods of facilitating treatment of wastewater in a wet air oxidation unit including providing a metal-based catalyst are also disclosed.

    Abstract: A catalyst composition for converting an alcohol to olefins, the catalyst composition comprising the following components: (a) a support (e.g., particles) comprising silicon and oxygen; (b) at least one of copper and silver residing on and/or incorporated into said support; and (c) at least one lanthanide element residing on and/or incorporated into said support. The catalyst may also further include component (d), which is zinc. Also described herein is a method for converting an alcohol to one or more olefinic compounds (an olefin fraction) by contacting the alcohol with a catalyst at a temperature of at least 100° C. and up to 500° C. to result in direct conversion of the alcohol to an olefin fraction containing one or more olefinic compounds containing at least three carbon atoms; wherein ethylene and propylene are produced in a minor proportion of the olefin fraction, and butenes and higher olefins are produced in major proportion.
