摘要:
The invention relates to a method for producing a highly pure, aqueous hydroxylamine solution by distilling an aqueous solution, devoid of salt, of a hydroxyl ammonium salt in a plate column comprising at least two mechanical plates. Said method is characterised in that packing bodies are arranged between at least two plates of the plate column over the cross-section of said column.
摘要:
An improved ion exchange process for purifying and/or concentrating hydroxylamine from an aqueous solution comprising hydroxylammonium ion and counter anions wherein ion exchange process conditions including effluent pH, effluent conductivity, and ion exchange bed height can be monitored and used to identify when to switch from an ion exchange step feed to a water wash feed, and to switch from a desorbent step to a water rinse step.

In one embodiment, the present invention provides a method of preparing hydroxylamine from a hydroxylammonium salt solution, including providing an electrochemical cell containing an anode, a cathode, a cation selective membrane and an anion selective membrane, wherein the cation selective membrane is positioned between the cathode and the anion selective membrane, and the anion selective membrane is positioned between the cation selective membrane and the anode, thereby defining a feed compartment between the cation selective membrane and the anion selective membrane, a recovery compartment between the cathode and the cation selective membrane, and an acid compartment between the anion selective membrane and the anode; charging a first solution to the acid compartment and a second solution the recovery compartment; charging the hydroxylammonium salt solution to the feed compartment; passing a current through the cell to produce hydroxylamine in the recovery compartment; and recovering hydroxylamine from the recovery compartment.
摘要:
A process is disclosed for separating a fraction which contains low and medium boiling substances from a mixture of low, medium and high boiling substances. The mixture is treated at the bottom of the distillation column with low boiling vapour, enriching the low boiling vapour with medium boiling substances which can then be extracted at the temperature level of the low boiling substance.
摘要:
The present invention concerns a method for making energetic oxidizer salts and solutions thereof, and in particular relates to processes for making aqueous solutions of hydroxylammonium nitrate in high purity suitable for use in making liquid gun propellants. The present alcohol-free process yields high purity alcohol-free hydroxylammonium nitrate by neutralizing an aqueous nitric acid solution (20-70 % wt./wt.) with an alcohol-free aqueous hydroxylamine solution at temeperatures ranging from above -50 C to above ambient to produce the desired alcohol-free aqueous hydroxylammonium nitrate solution in a usable concentration and in high purity. The process is economical, environmentally acceptable, and facile.
摘要:
A process is described for reducing the acid content of a solution comprising a hydroxylamine salt and an acid, and the process is also useful for converting a hydroxylamine salt to a hydroxylamine. In one embodiment, the process of the present invention comprises the steps of:
(A) providing an electrolysis cell comprising an anolyte compartment containing an anode, a catholyte compartment containing an oxygen-consuming cathode, and an anionic membrane divider separating said compartments; (B) providing an aqueous solution comprising an acid and water in the anolyte compartment, and an aqueous solution comprising the hydroxylamine salt, water and optionally, an acid in the catholyte compartment; (C) charging an oxygen-containing gas to the catholyte compartment; (D) passing a direct current through the electrolysis cell for a period of time effective to reduce the acid content in the catholyte compartment and/or to convert the salt to a hydroxylamine; and (E) recovering a hydroxylamine or a hydroxylamine salt solution containing a reduced amount of acid from the catholyte compartment.
摘要:
A process for separating hydroxylamine from an aqueous solution containing hydroxylammonium salts in mixture with salts of predominantly monovalent cations whose corresponding free bases have base , dissociation constants greater than 10 -7 . Said solution is passed through a bed of cation exchange resin loaded predominantly with monovalent cations hereby hydroxylammonium and the other cations in solution substantially displace said cations from the resin. A second aqueous solution containing a monovalent amine or hydroxide base of at least 0.5 molar concentration having a dissociation constant greater than 10 -7 is passed through the resin bed whereby hydroxylamine is preferentially released to the solution and the resin is correspondingly loaded with the cation of said base. Hydroxylammonium salts can be crystallized from the solution after addition of a stoichiometric amount of an appropriate acid.
