摘要:
The invention relates to a very energy-efficient method for concentrating aqueous lye, which, for example, originates from a chlor-alkali electrolysis plant, and to an apparatus suitable therefor. The method/the apparatus uses heat of reaction from the formation of 1,2 dichloroethane and includes multi-stage concentration of the aqueous lye, wherein at least part of the heat needed for the concentration of the aqueous lye originates from the plant for producing 1,2 dichloroethane, and wherein at least a further part of the heat needed for the concentration of the aqueous lye originates from at least one of the higher stages of the plant for concentrating the aqueous lye and is used for the partial heating of the first stage. The apparatus can be used to upgrade existing plant complexes from DCE plant and chlor-alkali electrolysis or in setting up new plants.
摘要:
The invention relates to an improvement in a method of regenerating alkaline or alkaline earth metal oxides or hydroxides from solution particularly in delignification processes wherein a suitable transition metal such as ferric oxide is burnt with the solution to produce a mixed oxide that is subsequently treated in hot water to regenerate the alkaline or alkaline earth metal oxide or hydroxide and precipitate the transition metal oxide. The improvement controls the presence of fines in the transition metal oxide to maintain these at an acceptable level in the fluidized bed combustion zone. This is achieved by contacting the fines with spent liquor from a delignification process. The invention also provides for the pelletization of the fine material of the transition metal oxide and spent delignification liquor can be used as a binder in the formation of such pellets.
摘要:
A method for concentrating an aqueous caustic alkali produced by a membrane cell process by using a single or multiple effect evaporator system in which the vapor flows in a counter direction to the aqueous caustic alkali flow and the heat recovered from the catholyte circulation line is used as part of the concentration process. In one embodiment, a catholyte heat recovery heat exchanger and evaporation chamber are located after the last effect of a multiple effect evaporator system. In another embodiment, the catholyte heat recovery heat exchanger and evaporation chamber are located prior to the single or multiple effect evaporator system. In yet another embodiment, the catholyte heat recovery process is used in conjunction with additional heat exchanger processes to further concentrate the final product as desired.

摘要:
A process for reducing the corrosion of nickel metal in an alkali metal hydroxide evaporator equipment which comprises the step of impressing a total protection potential directly upon the nickel metal material in alkali metal hydroxide evaporator that is in contact with an aqueous alkali metal hydroxide solution during evaporation of that solution; said total potential being sufficient to reduce the amount of corrosion of the nickel metal to an oxide that may dissolve in the alkali metal hydroxide solution.
摘要:
A method for treating a purge stream derived from a sodium carbonate, sesquicarbonate, wegsheiderite, or bicarbonate crystallizer, said purge stream comprising sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate and at least 1 % by weight of sodium chloride and/or sodium sulfate, the method comprising : - causticizing at least 50 mol. % of the sodium from sodium carbonate and/or sodium bicarbonate into a caustic solution and into a calcium carbonate mud with lime and water, - separating the calcium carbonate mud from the caustic solution; - concentrating the caustic solution by removing part of the water to obtain a concentrated caustic solution comprising at least 25 % NaOH, and a crystallized solid comprising sodium carbonate and sodium chloride and/or sulfate, - separating the crystallized solid from the concentrated caustic solution, said crystallized solid to be disposed of or to be further valorized, - recycling part of the concentrated caustic solution to the sodium carbonate, sesquicarbonate, wegsheiderite, or bicarbonate crystallizer.
