摘要:
Components, usually but not exclusively gaseous components, are removed in a liquid medium from gas streams and chemically converted into an insoluble phase or physically removed. Specifically, hydrogen sulfide may be removed from gas streams by oxidation in aqueous chelated transition metal solution in a agitated flotation cell. The same principal may be employed with other procedures in which a gaseous phase is dispersed in a liquid phase to effect an interaction between components present in such phases, for example, to treat or strip or react a component of the liquid phase.

Specifically, hydrogen sulfide may be removed from gas streams by oxidation in aqueous chelated transition metal solution in a modified agitated flotation cell. The same principle may be employed with other procedures in which a gaseous phase is dispersed in a liquid phase to effect an interaction between components present in such phases. A gas-liquid contact apparatus, generally a combined chemical reactor and solid product separation device, comprising such modified agitated flotation cell also is described. In order to effect efficient mass transfer and rapid reaction, gas bubbles containing hydrogen sulfide and oxygen are formed by rotating an impeller at a blade tip velocity of at least about 350 in/sec. to achieve the required shear. To assist in the reaction, a surrounding shroud has a plurality of openings, generally of aspect ratio of approximately 1, of equal diameter and arranged in uniform pattern, such as to provide a gas flow therethrough less than about 0.02 lb/min/opening in the shroud. In general, the gas velocity index of gas through the openings in the shroud is at least about 18 per second per opening, preferably at least about 24 per second per opening. Each of the openings has an area corresponding to an equivalent diameter less than about one inch.
摘要:
The parameters of a gas-liquid contact apparatus for the removal of a component of a gas stream in which an impeller-apertured shroud combination is immersed in a liquid phase to which the gas stream is fed at a gas flow rate of Q. The structural and operating parameters of the apparatus are quantified to provide a Shear Effectiveness Index (SEI) value of from about 1 to about 10 and an Effective Shear Index (ESI) value of from about 1 to about 2500.

Hydrogen Sulfide is substantially completely removed from a gas stream in a two-stage operation. Hydrogen Sulfide is first partially oxidized to sulfur dioxide and the sulfur dioxide reacted with part of the remaining hydrogen sulfide while the hydrogen sulfide not so reacted is subsequently oxidized, thereby removing all of the hydrogen sulfide from the gas stream.

Black liquor is subjected to high shear to cause a breakdown of macromolecules contained therein and provide a reduction in viscosity, thereby improving the processability of the black liquor and enabling the solids content to be increased.

Viscous liquids, such as liquid sulfur and bitumen asphalt are contacted with gases to strip absorbed gases from the viscous liquid and/or transfer gaseous components into the viscous liquid using a shrouded impeller combination immersed in the viscous liquid. The invention has particular application to the stripping of hydrogen sulfide and hydrogen polysulfides from liquid sulfur using an oxidizing gas.
