    摘要: A high temperature membrane reactor or gas purification apparatus includes a housing containing a gas heating chamber and a gas extraction component, preferably one or more tubular membranes. The preferred application is for extracting hydrogen from a mixed gas flow or for generating hydrogen, e.g., by reforming methanol, ethanol, or gasoline. A surrounding annulus provides heat exchange and insulation by circulating the mixed gas flow about the housing and then injecting the mixed gas flow into the housing for extraction or reaction. The apparatus further includes an outlet for releasing raffinate preferably including a flow controlling restriction. Heating is provided by conducting the raffinate from the gas extraction component to the heating chamber wherein reaction with a catalyst generates heat. These features, alone or in combination, provide better energy management, better flow management, and better safety than current designs. A spring-type support for the membrane is further described which increases the maximum useable operation pressure of the membranes to take better advantage of the membrane reactor and gas purification features.

    摘要: Process, integrated with ammonia air oxidation, for the manufacture of nitric oxide of at least 99 percent purity comprising the steps of (1) effecting the ammonia oxidation, (2) maintaining maximum NO content in the oxidation effluent, and then contacting the effluent with nitric acid to convert the NO to NO2, (3) cooling the NO2 containing gas product to condense the NO2 therefrom as liquid N2O4, (4) passing the liquid N2O4 into a packed converter tower and therein at least partially vaporizing the liquid; passing resulting vaporization product upwardly through the tower packing and passing water or weak nitric acid into the tower and downwardly through the packing in countercurrent flow reaction contact with the vaporization product, and then into the zone of said vaporization and reaction contact with any unvaporized liquid, and vaporization product to convert substantially all of the initially added liquid dinitrogen tetroxide to nitric oxide gas product containing minor contaminant amounts of NO2, HNO3 and water, (5) water-scrubbing the NO2 and HNO3 contaminants from the NO gas product to form resulting water-wet NO gas product containing, on an anhydrous basis, at least 99 percent NO, and (6) dehydrating the water-wet NO gas product to form said NO of at least 99 weight percent purity. Strong nitric acid is formed in the converter tower as by-product.
