  Verfahren zur synthetischen Herstellung von Ammoniak. 



   Bei der synthetischen Herstellung von Ammoniak aus seinen Elementen mittels Katalysatoren ist bekanntlich eine notwendige Voraussetzung, dass die bei der Katalyse verwendeten Gase   möglichst   von allen Verunreinigungen befreit sind. Zu dem Zwecke hat man früher die Anwendung von metallischem Natrium als Absorptionsmittel für derartige Gase, die in anderer Weise schwierig quantitativ zu entfernen sind, vorgeschlagen. 



   Um die Reinigungsfähigkeit des Metalls voll und ganz auszunützen und den Reinigungsprozess vollständig wirksam zu machen, ist es indessen nötig, das Metall in einer Form anzuwenden, die sieh für innige Berührung mit den Gasen eignet. Dies wird in vorliegender Erfindung dadurch bewirkt, dass man als Absorptionsmittel eine Lösung eines Alkali-oder Erdalkalimetalls in flüssigem Ammoniak verwendet, durch welche die Gase vor der Katalyse passieren, u. zw. zweckmässig unter Druck und in feinverteiltem 
 EMI1.1 
 hat, die Gase vollständig von   Verun'einigungen,   wie Sauerstoff. Wasserdampf, Kohlendioxyd, Kohlenoxyd usw. zu befreien, wodurch die Haltbarkeit des Katalysators bedeutend verlängert wird.

   Die Absorptionsfähigkeit der Lösung ist auch bei relativ niedriger Temperatur ausgezeichnet und dies ist von grosser Bedeutung, da der Ve : brauch von Lösungsmitteln wegen der geringen Ammoniaktension gering ist und man den Ammoniakgehalt der Gase vor der Katalyse auf nur wenige Zehntelprozent bei einem Druck von z. B. 100 Atm. herunterbringen kann. 



   Beispiel I : Die Gasmischung, welche zur Herstellung von Ammoniak benutzt werden soll. wird durch eine Lösung von 60 g Natrium in 420   e   flüssigem Ammoniak   bei - 200 C   und 100 Atm. Druck geleitet. Ein Katalysator, welcher für das so behandelte Gas benutzt wurde, war nach 10 Stunden völlig unverändert, während das Gas selbst, nur mit trockenen Natriumbändern gereinigt, den Katalysator nach 5 Stunden unbrauchbar machte. 



   Beispiel II : Die Gasmischung wird über Kalziumbänder geleitet. welche mit flüssigem Ammoniak feucht gehalten werden, so   dass stets   eine gesättigte Lösung vorhanden ist. Die Temperatur ist + 200 C und der Druck   150   Atm.

  Process for the synthetic production of ammonia.



   In the synthetic production of ammonia from its elements by means of catalysts, it is known that a necessary prerequisite is that the gases used in the catalysis are as far as possible freed from all impurities. To this end, the use of metallic sodium as an absorbent for such gases which are otherwise difficult to remove quantitatively has previously been proposed.



   However, in order to fully utilize the cleanability of the metal and to make the cleaning process fully effective, it is necessary to use the metal in a form which is suitable for intimate contact with the gases. In the present invention, this is achieved by using a solution of an alkali or alkaline earth metal in liquid ammonia as the absorbent, through which the gases pass before catalysis, and the like. between practical under pressure and in finely divided
 EMI1.1
 has, the gases completely from impurities such as oxygen. To liberate water vapor, carbon dioxide, carbon oxide etc., whereby the life of the catalyst is extended significantly.

   The absorption capacity of the solution is excellent even at a relatively low temperature and this is of great importance because the consumption of solvents is low because of the low ammonia tension and the ammonia content of the gases is reduced to only a few tenths of a percent at a pressure of e.g. B. 100 atm. can bring down.



   Example I: The gas mixture to be used for the production of ammonia. is made by a solution of 60 g sodium in 420 e liquid ammonia at - 200 C and 100 atm. Pressure directed. A catalyst which was used for the gas thus treated was completely unchanged after 10 hours, while the gas itself, cleaned only with dry sodium tapes, rendered the catalyst unusable after 5 hours.



   Example II: The gas mixture is passed over calcium bands. which are kept moist with liquid ammonia so that a saturated solution is always available. The temperature is + 200 C and the pressure 150 atm.
