摘要:
A method for determining a urea concentration in an aqueous solution containing urea, includes: hydrolyzing the urea in the aqueous solution, measuring an electric conductivity (χ) of the aqueous solution, and determining the urea concentration in the aqueous solution from the electric conductivity (χ) using a correlation between the urea concentration and an electric conductivity.
摘要:
In a process and an apparatus for synthesizing urea which synthesize urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, the operating condition can be grasped easily and with good accuracy. A process for synthesizing urea which includes: a reaction step of obtaining a urea synthesis solution which contains urea, unreacted ammonia, unreacted carbon dioxide and water by causing ammonia and carbon dioxide to react with each other; a stripping step of separating a gas mixture containing the unreacted ammonia and the unreacted carbon dioxide by stripping the urea synthesis solution by using at least a portion of raw material carbon dioxide; a condensing step of obtaining a condensed liquid by condensing the gas mixture in an absorbing medium while cooling the gas mixture; a recycling step of recycling the condensed liquid to the reaction step; and a step of measuring the density of the condensed liquid online. An apparatus for carrying out this process is provided.
摘要:
A urea synthesis process with improved heat economy, wherein a urea synthesis solution obtained by removing most of the unreacted ammonium carbamate by stripping with carbon dioxide at a pressure approximately equal to a urea synthesis pressure is subjected to a high and low pressure decomposition. The gas mixture obtained from the high-pressure decomposition is condensed in at least two steps. Gases obtained from the stripping of the urea synthesis solution, after an initial condensation may be alternatively routed into the high-pressure decomposition column thus facilitating the decomposition of unreacted ammonium carbamate; may be mixed with off-gases from the high-pressure decomposition column and routed to an indirect heat-exchanger for concentrating the aqueous urea solution and facilitating the condensation of the off-gases from the high pressure decomposition column; or may be routed to a condenser for the gas mixture obtained from the high-pressure decomposition after it has underwent indirect heat-exchange with the aqueous urea solution, thus facilitate the further condensation of these gases.
