摘要:
An apparatus and method for generating on demand a gaseous product from a liquid phase reaction of one reactant in the solid phase at ambient room conditions and another reactant in the liquid phase at ambient room conditions. The reactants preferably are iodine crystals, and liquid tetrahydronaphthalene (THN), with the gaseous product being hydrogen iodide. The liquid phase reaction, in the preferred embodiment, is 2I.sub.2 +C.sub.10 H.sub.12 .fwdarw.4HI+C.sub.10 H.sub.8, known per se. Preferably, THN is pumped from a reservoir to be sprinkled over the iodine crystals in another reservoir. Some iodine dissolves into the liquid THN, with the resulting solution then percolating through a reaction zone containing a heated, porous packing material. Heat is transferred to the solution, thereby promoting, i.e., driving the above reaction. The gaseous hydrogen iodide is then removed from the reaction zone; typically for direct use, for example, in a chemical laser. The gaseous HI is generated at sufficiently high flow rates and/or partial pressures to be used in chemical lasers, eg., based on HF, HCl or HBr which operate at about 2700 nm, 3800 nm, and 4100 nm, respectively.
摘要:
A method and apparatus for disposing of waste material by means of a multi-stage reaction favoring desired reaction products. The rate at which different reactions reach equilibrium at different temperatures and the effects of reaction stoichiometry are controlled by the process to promote desired reactions and discriminate against undesired ones. In the preferred embodiment, the present invention is a method of incinerating chlorinated hydrocarbons comprisingreacting the chlorinated hydrocarbon at high temperature with less than a stoichiometric amount of oxygen for a period of time minimizing generation of nitrogen oxides;quenching the reacting chlorinated hydrocarbon-air mixture with water, whereby phosgene generated in the first part of the reaction is hydrolized, free chlorine is minimized and the temperature of the reacting chlorinated hydrocarbon-air mixture is reduced to a lower temperature to minimize generation of nitrogen oxides;further reacting the chlorinated hydrocarbon-air-steam reaction mixture at said lower temperature for a period of time not long enough to allow the formation of a significant amount of nitrogen oxides;adding additional air to the reacting chlorinated hydrocarbon-air-steam mixture to further reduce the temperature of said reacting mixture and to provide a stoichiometric excess of oxygen and lower the reaction temperature;further reacting said chlorinated hydrocarbon-air-water mixture with said stoichiometric excess of oxygen at said still lower temperature for a period of time long enough to fully react said chlorinated hydrocarbon to HCl, CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O, but still sufficiently short to prevent formation of a significant amount of nitrogen oxides;heating water and generating steam from indirect heat exchange with the effluent gas stream; andscrubbing hydrogen chloride gas out of said effluent gas stream.Apparatus is provided to permit this stage-wise reaction and to control the addition of quench water and air, as well as the addition of any additional hydrocarbon fuel, as needed, to insure minimum generation of nascent oxygen and chlorine and nitrogen oxides while insuring substantially all the chlorine in the combustion gas stream is converted into hydrogen chloride.
摘要:
A device for and method of working up etching and pickling liquids consisting of a vertical furnace having one or more vertical reaction spaces through which balls move at a maximum packing density.The furnace has a temperature gradient from the bottom (high) to the top (low). The reaction space and the balls consist of a material which is inert with respect to the liquid to be worked up. The liquid is introduced into the upper side of the furnace so that a film is formed in the heated surface of the balls. The salt dissolved in the liquid decomposes pyrolytically. The metal oxide is deposited on the surface of the balls and is removed therefrom after leaving the reaction space. The acid residue vapours are drained at the top and recovered in a separate absorber to the original pickling or etching acid.
摘要:
Hydrogen is thermochemically produced from water in a cycle wherein a first reaction produces hydrogen iodide and H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 by the reaction of iodine, sulfur dioxide and water under conditions which cause two distinct aqueous phases to be formed, i.e., a lighter sulfuric acid-bearing phase and a heavier hydrogen iodide-bearing phase. After separation of the two phases, the heavier phase containing most of the hydrogen iodide is treated, e.g., at a high temperature, to decompose the hydrogen iodide and recover hydrogen and iodine. The H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 is pyrolyzed to recover sulfur dioxide and produce oxygen.

摘要:
Hydrogen is produced from water by reacting I.sub.2 SO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O to make hydrogen iodide and sulfuric acid. SO.sub.2 is present in a substantial molar excess with respect to the available H.sub.2 O and I.sub.2 is also present in excess to cause the formation of a lighter sulfuric acid-bearing phase and a heavier hydrogen iodide-bearing phase. The heavier phase is separated from the lighter phase, degassed to remove SO.sub.2 and then treated with additional HI and I.sub.2 to cause the formation of a light immiscible fraction containing sulfuric acid and water which is removed to substantially reduce the sulfur content of the degassed phase. Finally, the hydrogen iodide product is separated and decomposed to produce hydrogen.
摘要:
In the process for the production of synthetic anhydrite and pure hydrofluoric acid, a reaction is initiated using fluorspar with a mixture containing sulphuric acid, oleum and the reflux of the acidic scrubbing. The aim is to produce synthetic anhydrite which contains only the desired small proportion of CaF.sub.2, while the free H.sub.2 SO.sub.4 is completely neutralized, but other desirable accelerators are still retained. The reaction is so arranged that fluorosulphonic acid does not enter the reactor at all or only in minute quantity and the new formation of fluorosulphonic acid is effectively repressed. For this end, the components of CaF.sub.2 and acid mixture are fed into the reactor at an elevated temperature and the reactor intake is so heated, whereby the reaction is initiated at 100.degree. C. and thus new formation of fluorosulphonic acid is arrested. The exhaust gases from the reactor are hot-dried in a first stage and the dust is expelled, before the material is cooled in the subsequent stages.
摘要:
Hydrogen is produced from water by first reacting I.sub.2, SO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O to make hydrogen iodide and sulfuric acid. A substantial molar excess of SO.sub.2 and I.sub.2 in the reaction zone creates a lighter sulfuric acid-bearing phase and a heavier polyiodic-acid-bearing phase. The heavier phase is separated, degassed and then contacted with phosphoric acid to permit distillation of HI of low water content and recovery of I.sub.2 as a separate fraction. Hydrogen is recovered from HI vapor, as by thermal decomposition.

A process for removing hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans from hydrogen sulfide and/or mercaptans-containing gases using aqueous iodine slurry and/or solution to recover elemental sulfur as one product and to generate hydriodic acid which is dehydrated, pressurized, and decomposed into iodine for recycling and into hydrogen for recovering as another product.
