摘要:
This invention is a method for the recovery of elemental sulfur from a gas mixture containing H.sub.2 S. The gas mixture is first subjected to desulfurization in a Claus installation which has a thermal part and a catalytic part resulting in the recovery of elemental sulfur. Sulfur compounds still contained in the Claus tail gas are then transformed into H.sub.2 S by means of hydrogenation and, if necessary, by means of hydrolysis and the hydrogenated Claus tail gas is subjected to catalytic direct oxidation of the H.sub.2 S to elemental sulfur. The Claus installation comprises exactly one catalytic stage and the catalytic direct oxidation also takes place in exactly one reactor. Sulfur recovery rates of 99.3% to 99.6% are achieved by the method of the invention.

A process is described for separating off a nitrogen-rich fraction from a feed fraction containing essentially nitrogen and hydrocarbons, wherein the feed fraction is separated by rectification into a nitrogen-rich fraction and a methane-rich fraction, the methane-rich fraction, for the purpose of cold generation at a pressure as high as possible, is vaporized against the feed fraction which is to be cooled and superheated and the nitrogen-rich fraction is compressed at least occasionally and/or at least in part and is fed to the rectification as reflux stream.According to the invention at least occasionally at least a substream (16) of the compressed (C) nitrogen-rich fraction (9′) is expanded (f) after condensation (E1) thereof and, for the purpose of cold generation, is at least in part, preferably completely, vaporized (E1).

The invention relates to a method for the separation of a hydrocarbon-rich, nitrogen-containing feed fraction (1, 101), preferably natural gas, wherein the feed fraction (1, 101) is at least in part liquefied (E1, E2) and divided by rectification (T1) into a nitrogen-enriched fraction (14, 110) and a hydrocarbon-rich, nitrogen-depleted fraction (11, 111) and wherein, in the upper region of the rectification (T1), a nitrogen-enriched stream (14) is taken off, cooled (E3) and applied (20) at least in part to the rectification (T1) as reflux and/or the nitrogen-enriched fraction (110) is cooled and partially condensed (E3), applied at least in part to the rectification (T1) as reflux (115) and the remaining stream (116) of the nitrogen-enriched fraction (110) is subjected to a double-column process (T3). According to the invention, in the middle region of the rectification (T1), a carbon-dioxide-poor stream (13, 113) which serves for cooling (E3) the nitrogen-enriched substream (14) and/or cooling (E3) the nitrogen-enriched fraction (110) is taken off and the feed fraction is rectified (T1) in a separation column (T1) having a dividing wall (W), wherein the dividing wall (W) is arranged at least in the region of the separation column (T1) in which the feed fraction (2, 4, 5, 102, 104, 105) is fed to the separation column (T1) and the carbon-dioxide-poor stream (13, 113) is taken off.

摘要:
A process for liquefying a flow of natural gas with simultaneous recovery of a C3/C4-rich fraction is described, whereby the liquefaction of the flow of natural gas is carried out in heat exchange for at least one refrigerant and/or mixed refrigerant flow, and the flow of natural gas that is to be liquefied, after precooling, is subjected to a rectifying column, in which higher hydrocarbons are separated from the flow of natural gas, and then is subjected to further cooling and liquefaction, whereby a C2+-rich fraction that is recovered in the subsequent cooling of the flow of natural gas is fed to the rectifying column as a reflux liquid. According to the invention, a C4/C5-rich fraction (20, 35) is fed directly and/or indirectly to rectifying column (T1) as an additional reflux liquid, whereby the feed point of the C4/C5-rich [fraction (20, 35) is located at the top of rectifying column (T1) or is identical to the feed point of the C2+-rich fraction (5).]
