摘要:
Butadiene is recovered from a hydrocarbon fraction containing it together with butenes and acetylene hydrocarbons by introducing said fraction into a first extractive distillation column, feeding aqueous acetonitrile into said column above the introduction point of said fraction and extracting a vapor stream containing butadiene below said introduction point; feeding said vapor stream into a second extractive distillation column, feeding aqueous acetonitrile above the introduction point of said vapor stream and recovering a vapor stream consisting essentially of butadiene at the top of said second column; and rectifying this last vapor stream to recover pure butadiene.
摘要:
Nitric acid having a concentration of at least 98% by weight is obtained from a gaseous stream resulting from catalytic oxidation of ammonia and containing nitrogen oxide and steam, by flowing said stream in an oxidation and condensation column in countercurrent with a stream of nitric acid at 40-60 wt.%, recovering nitrogen peroxide at the top of the column, liquefying said peroxide, bringing it into contact with aqueous nitric acid, oxygen and air in a chemical absorption stage, and distilling the resulting superazeotropic nitric acid. A part of the nitric acid discharged from the oxidation column is directly recycled and the remainder is recycled after distillation to give azeotropic acid and remove water, a part of the latter being used for the chemical absorption.
摘要:
Nitric acid having a concentration of at least 98 wt.% is produced from nitrogen peroxide by absorbing the latter in superazeotropic nitric acid, distilling the resulting solution so as to recover nitric acid at a concentration of at least 98 wt.% and nitrogen peroxide, liquefying the latter and reacting it in a first stage with aqueous nitric acid (70-80% wt.%) and air and delivering the resulting superazeotropic nitric acid, together with the solution, to the distillation column. Nitrogen peroxide and oxygen unreacted in the first stage are contacted with nitric acid at 68-75 wt.% in a second stage, thus to produce said aqueous nitric acid fed to the second stage. The said nitric acid at 68-75 wt.% and the superazeotropic acid used for the absorption are extracted from the bottom part of the distillation column.
摘要:
Nitric acid having a concentration of at least 98 wt.% is prepared by recovering in liquid state nitrogen peroxide from a gaseous flow containing the same, by absorption in nitric acid, heating of the resulting solution and liquefaction of the gaseous peroxide evolved, followed by a first chemical absorption of a fraction of the liquid peroxide with nitric acid at 70-80% and air and distillation of the resulting concentrated nitric acid. The gaseous products discharged from said first absorption and comprising unreacted peroxide and air are contacted with nitric acid and water in a second chemical absorption stage, thereby to produce the nitric acid used in the first absorption. The remaining fraction of liquid peroxide is delivered to the distillation column, discharged at the top thereof and recycled to the liquefaction stage, while nitric acid is extracted at the bottom of the distillation column and recycled to the second absorption stage.
