摘要:
The invention provides a process for removal of HCN and NH3 from synthesis gas, the process comprising the steps of: (a) contacting feed synthesis gas comprising HCN with a HCN hydrolysis sorbent in the presence of water, thereby obtaining synthesis gas comprising NH3; (b) contacting the synthesis gas comprising NH3 with an acidic cation exchange resin in the presence of water to remove NH3, thereby obtaining purified synthesis gas.

The invention provides a process for the removal of COS and H2S from a synthesis gas stream comprising COS and H2S, the process having the steps of: removing H2S from a feed synthesis gas stream with a first solid adsorbent to obtain a first synthesis gas stream, converting COS in the first synthesis gas stream to H2S by contacting the first synthesis gas stream with a COS-hydrolysing catalyst in the presence of water in a hydrolysis zone to obtain a second synthesis gas stream depleted of COS and enriched in H2S; and removing H2S from the second synthesis gas stream by contacting the second synthesis gas stream with a second solid adsorbent in a H2S removal zone to obtain a third synthesis gas stream depleted of H2S and depleted of COS to very low levels.
摘要:
A process for the reduction of carbonyl sulfide (COS) in a gas stream is described. It comprises contacting the gas stream with an iron oxide-based material. The present invention relates to the removal of COS from any type of gas stream, in particular those which include one or more of the group comprising ethane, methane, hydrogen, carbon dioxide, hydrogen cyanide, ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and noble gases. These include natural gas, and in particular syngas. Syngas is useable in a Fischer-Tropsch process. The present invention provides a simple but effective process for the reduction of COS, especially with a material that can easily be located in existing guard beds—avoiding any re-engineering time and costs. The iron oxide-based materials can also be useable against other impurities, providing a single bed solution.

The invention concerns a process for the removal of sulphur compounds from a hydrocarbon stream, especially a gaseous hydrocarbon gas stream, comprising said sulphur compounds, which process comprises contacting said gas stream with an adsorbent comprising a zeolite having a pore diameter of at least 5 Å to adsorb the sulphur compounds thereon, the adsorption process followed by a regeneration process of used, loaded adsorbent by contacting the said loaded adsorbent with a regeneration gas stream having a relative water humidity less than 100%, especially less than 80%. Suitably the regeneration is followed by a dry regeneration treatment. The invention further relates to a process for the regeneration of adsorbent comprising a zeolite having a pore diameter of at least 5 Å loaded with sulphur compounds by contacting the adsorbent with a regeneration gas stream having a relative water humidity less than 100%, especially less than 80%. Suitably the regeneration is followed by a dry regeneration treatment.
