Abstract:
The invention relates to a process for the removal of HCN from gas mixtures that contain at least HCN and sulfur compounds, especially from gas mixtures that are obtained by partial oxidation of hydrocarbons, by catalytic decomposition of HCN, as well as a catalyst for the decomposition of HCN. According to the invention, the gas mixture is brought into contact with a catalyst which decomposes the HCN by hydrogenation and/or by hydrolysis and COS that is contained in the gas mixture is decomposed at least partially in this catalyst by hydrolysis. Advantageously, a catalyst that is based on titanium oxide and/or zirconium oxide as a vehicle and that contains chromium oxide as an active component is used. Advantageously, the catalyst is reduced during catalyst production or before use with H.sub.2 and/or a reducing gas at temperatures above the operating temperature of catalytic decomposition.
Abstract:
A process for the simultaneous removal of H.sub.2 S, SO.sub.2 and elemental sulfur from gaseous mixtures, comprises treating the gaseous mixture with a solvent. After the solvent becomes loaded with the components to be removed, it is regenerated and reused. In order to obtain savings in costs and energy, the sulfur is separated from the loaded solvent by lowering the temperature thereof. In this way, chemical regeneration of the scrubbing medium takes place within the cycle eliminating the requirement for outside regenerating apparatus.
Abstract:
A process is disclosed for obtaining C.sub.2+ or C.sub.3+ hydrocarbons from hydrocarbon-containing gaseous mixtures by pressure scrubbing with a physically acting solvent selective for C.sub.2+ and, respectively, C.sub.3+ hydrocarbons. The solvent, after loading, is regenerated and reused. In order to avoid impurities in the C.sub.2+ and, respectively, C.sub.3+ product in an economical and energy-saving way, the loaded solvent is subjected to expansion to a pressure lying below the critical pressure of the solvent-gas mixture, and to heating and partial evaporation in order to drive off concomitantly dissolved inert gases. The solvent, reduced in its content of inert gases, is then to be passed on to regeneration. The process is advantageous, in particular, in cases where crude gases are to be processed which exhibit a low concentration of components to be scrubbed out.
Abstract:
For the separation of ethane and higher hydrocarbons from a high pressure incoming gas containing hydrocarbons, the raw gas is cooled and expanded in several stages and the condensates that are produced are fed to a rectifying column to provide an overhead gaseous product essentially consisting of methane and a bottoms product consisting essentially of ethane and higher hydrocarbons. To save energy, the raw gas and/or the product streams are heat exchanged in parallel streams under different pressures, the cooled high-pressure gas is work-expanded and the condensates produced by cooling and expansion are fed separately to the rectifying column.
Abstract:
For regenerating a scrubbing agent loaded with H.sub.2 S and/or COS, as well as optionally with other raw gas components to be recovered, the loaded scrubbing agent is mixed, preferably without prior heating, with an oxidatively acting solvent that is immiscible with the scrubbing agent, and the H.sub.2 S dissolved in the immiscible solvent is converted to elementary sulfur.
Abstract:
For scrubbing C.sub.2+ or C.sub.3+ hydrocarbons from gaseous mixture containing hydrocarbons and/or inerts like H.sub.2 N.sub.2, CO and possibly acid gases, e.g. CO.sub.2 H.sub.2 S, COS e.g. natural gas and the like, the scrubbing medium consists essentially of compounds having one to two rings formed by 5 or 6 carbon atoms, wherein the compounds comprise, in total, at least 9 and at most 17 carbon atoms, and the rings are saturated unsaturated or partially saturated especially alkylated ring compounds of 9 or 10 carbon atoms, e.g. isomeric forms of trimethylbenzene, propylbenzene, propylcyclohexane, tetrahydronaphthalene, decahydronaphthalene.
Abstract:
Process for the treatment of CO-rich gases incurred in the manufacture of phosphorus, which gases contain impurities like water, and compounds of sulfur, nitrogen and phosphorus. The gas is passed through regenerators for the purpose of removing impurities. In this manner, a product gas is obtained from which impurities have been condensed or frozen.
Abstract:
Process for the recovery of one or more components of a raw gas, absorbed by the scrubbing liquid during a physical gas scrubbing step, by expanding the laden scrubbing liquid, characterized in that the expanded, laden scrubbing liquid is stripped, before its final regeneration, with a gas consisting exclusively of one or more components of the raw gas and essentially free of the components to be recovered and to be scrubbed out.
Abstract:
For the selective removal of sulfur from gases, a physical scrubbing agent is used, comprising a heterocycle having five or more ring atoms, which contains two heteroatoms, one of which is nitrogen and the other of which is oxygen or nitrogen; and the heteroatoms in the rings of even member number of atoms occupy; one of the positions from 1,2 to 1,n/2 and, in the rings of uneven member number of atoms occupy one of the positions from 1,2 up to 1, (n-1)/2. Further, the nitrogen heteroatom(s) present in the ring is/are either double bonded or single bonded but, if single bonded, the nitrogen is organo-substituted.
