Abstract:
Durene diisocyanate is prepared by reacting durene with nitric acid in sulfuric acid, catalytic hydrogenation of the dinitrodurene that is formed, and phosgenation of the resultant durene diamine in a conventional manner. The intermediate products dinitrodurene and durene diamine do not have to be worked up in a complicated manner as solid products, but can be worked up in dissolved form. The intermediate products dinitrodurene and durene diamine do not have to be isolated and purified in a complicated manner. but can be processed directly after preparation. Another advantage of this process is that only a single organic solvent need be used for the overall preparation process. Separation and re-use of spent acid in the conversion of durene with nitric acid also renders the process of the present invention significantly less environmentally harmful than the known processes of the prior art.
Abstract:
Urea is prepared by reacting ammonia and carbon dioxide in an apparatus comprising a vertical condensation and synthesis column and a stripper, to provide a urea synthesis solution comprising urea, unreacted ammonia, unreacted carbon dioxide and water. The urea synthesis solution is transferred from the top of the vertical condensation and synthesis column to the top of a stripper. Carbon dioxide is introduced into the bottom of the stripper and contacted with the urea synthesis solution, thereby separating the unreacted ammonia and the unreacted carbon dioxide from the urea, and providing a mixed gas comprising ammonia, carbon dioxide and water. The mixed gas is transferred into the bottom of the vertical condensation and synthesis column, where it is reacted with liquid ammonia injected into the bottom and a middle of the vertical condensation and synthesis column. The mixed gas and liquid ammonia are condensed and react to form urea, Uncondensed gases are absorbed in an absorbing medium, which is subsequently recycled to the bottom of the vertical condensation and synthesis column.

Abstract:
A method for the modernization of a plant for urea production of the type comprising a reactor (2) for urea synthesis, a stripping unit (3) with carbon dioxide and at least one vertical condensation unit (4) of the film type, foresees the provision of means (36) for feeding a major portion of a flow comprising ammonia and carbon dioxide in vapor phase leaving the stripping unit (3) to the condensation unit (4) and the provision in said condensation unit (4) of means (37) for subjecting to substantially total condensation such major portion of the flow comprising ammonia and carbon dioxide in vapor phase, obtaining a flow comprising urea and carbamate in aqueous solution, then fed to the reactor (2) for urea synthesis. Thanks to the present method of modernization, the efficiency of the condensation unit (4) is remarkably improved, thus permitting an increase of its capacity.
Abstract:
Process for the combined preparation of urea and ammonia reactant by steps of providing ammonia synthesis gas containing carbon dioxide and conversion of the synthesis gas to the ammonia reactant, reacting the ammonia reactant with the carbon dioxide in the synthesis gas to ammonium carbamate and to urea product, which process comprises further steps of prior to the conversion of the synthesis gas to the ammonia reactant, (i) washing the synthesis gas with an aqueous solution of the ammonia reactant and forming a solution being rich in ammonium carbamate; (ii) removing excess of ammonia reactant from the washed synthesis gas by washing with water and withdrawing an aqueous solution of ammonia reactant; (iii) purifying the water washed synthesis gas by removing remaining amounts of water and ammonia; and (iv) passing the purified synthesis gas to the conversion of the gas to ammonia reactant.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to the preparation of alkyl-ureas, starting from O,S-dimethyl dithiocarbonate, which provides the following steps: A) causing the O,S-dimethyl dithiocarbonate to react with a primary amine of general formula R1NH2 in order to obtain an O-methyl thiocarbamate; B) isomerising the O-methyl thiocarbamate in order to obtain an S-methyl thiocarbamate; C) causing the S-methyl thiocarbamate with a compound of general formula R′R″NH, wherein R′ and R″ may be equal or different one in respect of the other and of R1 and may be H, R2 or R3, in order to obtain one of the alkyl-ureas of formula (4), (5) or (6).
