The absorbent solution includes at least one of the following two nitrogen compounds belonging to the family of tertiary diamines: 1-dimethylamino-3-(2-dimethylaminoethoxy)-2-propanol 1,1′-oxybis[3-(dimethylamino)-2-propanol] and water.
Abstract:
Steam generating gasification reactors for providing high-pressure and high-temperature steam for catalytic gasification of a carbonaceous feedstock can be based on oxygen blown gasification reactors adapted for processing a slurry feedstock comprising at least 40% water. The exhaust from the slurry gasifier comprises at least steam, carbon monoxide and hydrogen. The slurry composition and the oxygen to fuel ratio can be varied to control the ratio of carbonaceous gases in the generator exhaust. By directing substantially all of exhaust gases produced from the slurry gasification reactor through the catalytic gasifier and subsequent gas separation and sequestration processes, a greatly higher energy efficiency and decreased carbon footprint can be realized. The subsequent gas separation process produces a syngas stream which is recycled and directed into the slurry gasifier.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for removing carbon dioxide and optionally hydrogen sulphide and/or COS from a gas stream containing these compounds by washing the gas with an aqueous washing solution containing water, sulfolane and a secondary or tertiary amine derived from ethanolamine. More particularly the invention relates to the process described above, the process being carried out in the presence of a primary or secondary amine compound in an amount between 0.5 and 15 wt. % based on water, sulfolane and amine. The invention further relates to an absorbent liquid to be used in the above process.
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.
Abstract:
Sulfur dioxide is removed from a fluid containing SO.sub.2 by employing as an absorbent therefor an aqueous solution of compound represented by Formula I: ##STR1## wherein X is --O--, --NR.sup.1 --, or --N.dbd.; each Y is independently --(CR.sup.2.sub.2)--, --(C.dbd.O)--, --O--, --NR.sup.1 --, --N.dbd., or --C(R.sup.2).dbd.; each R.sup.1 or R.sup.2 is independently hydrogen; an alkyl group; a hydroxyalkyl group; an aldehyde group; a carboxylic acid or salt group; or an alkyl group containing an aldehyde group, a carboxylic acid or salt group, ketone, carboxylic ester, ether, or sulfoxide group; and m is an integer preferably of from 2 to about 4. The absorbent solution preferably can be thermally regenerated by heating to remove SO.sub.2.
Abstract:
A process for removing hydrogen sulphide from a gas mixture including hydrogen sulphide comprising contacting the gas mixture with a liquid absorbent composition including an aminopyridine, such as 4-dimethylaminopyridine.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a cyclic continuous process and composition for the removal of NO and SO.sub.2 from a variety of fluid streams. A fluid stream containing NO and SO.sub.2 is contacted with an aqueous solution of water-soluble organic polymeric chelate containing a polyvalent metal, e.g., Fe (II). The NO is catalytically absorbed and in the presence of SO.sub.2, the imidodisulfonate is formed. Optionally, a reducing agent, such as sodium hydrogen sulfide, is added to maintain the polyvalent metal in the reduced state. The process next includes removal of the imidodisulfonate formed. The separation of water and low molecular weight materials and products, e.g. molecular weight below 500, usually occurs by ultrafiltration or dialysis, with recycle and re-use of the polyvalent metal chelate.
