    摘要: In producing methanol by the reaction of carbon monoxide and hydrogen, a starting gas deficient in hydrogen, e.g. as produced by coal gasification, is mixed with a hydrogen rich gas and fed to a synthesis loop where it is mixed with unreacted gas from the synthesis stage. A part stream of gas is taken from the loop. Either that part stream, or the gas in the loop prior to synthesis, is subjected to the catalytic shift reaction with steam. Carbon dioxide is removed from the gas taken from the loop to form the hydrogen rich stream.

    摘要: In a methanol production process comprising synthesis gas generation, catalytic synthesis, recovery of crude methanol and purification by distillation, organic compounds of higher boiling point than methanol (the so-called "fusel oil" stream) are contacted in liquid form with a gaseous stream to be fed to synthesis gas generation, whereby to convert those compounds to synthesis gas. When an alkali is added to the crude methanol before distillation the contacting step permits utilisation of the organic compounds in the fusel oil, leaving an alkali compounds solution, which is withdrawn.

    摘要: In a process of reacting a hydrocarbon with steam and/or carbon dioxide in a reaction zone heated by a combustion furnace to give olefins or process gas containing carbon oxides and hydrogen high grade heat is recovered from furnace flue gases and/or process gas whereby to cool such gases to 150-300.degree. C. When the process gas is used in a synthesis of for example methanol or ammonia, gases at 150.degree.-300.degree. C are also produced. Previously the recovery of heat from such low grade heat sources has been inefficient or inconvenient. According to the invention the heat is recovered by means of an intermediary liquid coolant, which is brought into direct heat exchange with streams to be used in the process. Preferably the liquid is water under pressure and is brought into direct heat exchange with a gas to be fed to the process; by this means 10-30% of the steam can be provided from low grade waste heat.

    摘要: In an ammonia synthesis process a nitrogen-hydrogen gas is reacted partially over a catalyst at a pressure in the range 30-120 bar abs, ammonia is separated as liquid after cooling the reacted synthesis gas and unreacted synthesis gas is recycled. The liquid ammonia is evaporated in heat exchange with reacted synthesis gas to provide the required cooling effect. Such heat exchange is effected using a heat exchange surface (as in a plate-fin heat exchanger) of at least 1.5 m.sup.2 per kg mol per hour of ammonia to be condensed, with cold-end temperature approach of less than 8.degree. C. and a hot-end temperature approach of less than 5.degree. C. whereby exploit the heat effect of, inter alia, the non-ideality of ammonia to provide product gaseous ammonia at a convenient pressure with minimal mechanical refrigeration.

    摘要: A moist hydrogen stream is dried by cooling to below the dewpoint of water and separating water, drying further over a regenerable solid absorbent, separating a part stream of dried gas and using it to regenerate water-loaded absorbent, and recycling the resulting moist regeneration gas stream into the moist hydrogen stream upstream of the water separation step. If the starting moist hydrogen stream is produced by shift, CO.sub.2 -removal and methanation the recycled gas is preferably introduced between CO.sub.2 removal and methanation. If it is produced from unreacted methanol synthesis gas the recycled gas is preferably introduced upstream of methanol synthesis.

    摘要: In a process for producing a hydrogen containing gas by reacting steam with a feedstock to give a gas at a temperature of at least 350.degree. C., generating high pressure steam by heat exchange with such a gas, letting down the steam in an expansion engine of the pass-out type and using engine exhaust steam as process feed, an improvement in energy economy is achieved by bringing the engine exhaust steam into heat exchange with water and contacting the resulting hot water with a gaseous or vaporised feed to the process. The steam exhausted from the engine is preferably at a pressure lower than that at which the steam-using process step is generated. The process is especially useful in ammonia production by way of steam hydrocarbon reforming at an unconventionally high pressure in the range 40-80 bar abs, followed by synthesis at a pressure not more than 50% higher.

    摘要: Methanol is produced from a carbon monoxide stream by reacting carbon monoxide with steam in a catalytic shift reaction, removing any excess steam and at least part of the carbon dioxide from the shifted gas, reacting the resulting gas over a copper-containing methanol synthesis catalyst at under 300.degree. C., heat exchanging reacted synthesis gas with water under pressure and bringing the resulting hot water into direct heat exchange with the carbon monoxide stream to provide steam for the shift reaction. In a preferred process the carbon monoxide stream is freed of non-refractory sulphur compounds before the shift stage and the refractory sulphur compounds are converted in the shift stage to H.sub.2 S, which is removed with the carbon dioxide.
