Description
Procédé pour l'élimination des impuretés oxygénées contenues dans les gaz destinés à la synthèse de l'ammoniaque sous hyperpressiou, et appareil pour sa anise en couvre. La présente invention comprend un pro cédé pour l'élimination des impuretés oxy génées contenues dans les gaz destinés à la synthèse de l'ammoniaque sous hyperpression et un appareil pour sa mise en couvre.
Selon le présent procédé, on fait passer chaud le mélange d'hydrogène et d'azote à purifier contenant des impuretés oxygénées (oxyde de carbone, oxygène etc.), sous l'hyper- pression même employée pour la synthèse de l'ammoniaque, sur une matière catalysante à base de fer et on élimine par simple refroi dissement l'eau ainsi formée;
la température à laquelle on peut opérer cette purification peut être inférieure à celle nécessaire à la production synthétique de l'ammoniaque, par exemple 400-450 0, et la matière cataly- sante employée pour la purification peut être celle qui a servi pour la production cataly tique de l'ammoniaque et qui est épuisée au point de vue de cette production. On a en effet trouvé que, dans les conditions ci-dessus, on peut détruire, avec une efficacité extrême, l'oxyde de.carbone qui peut se trouver dans le mélange traité, même lorsque la proportion d'oxyde de carbone est très élevée, par exemple supérieure à 5 /o.
Le fait remarquable est qu'il ne s'agit pas là d'un simple dégrossis sage, c'est-à-dire d'un enlèvement de la plus grande partie seulement de l'oxyde de car bone, mais qu'on peut obtenir une destruc tion remarquablement complète de cet oxyde et qui peut se prolonger très longtemps. Dans ces conditions, il devient inutile d'employer tous les autres procédés complexes, ennuyeux ou coûteux de purification qui sont restés en fait indispensables jusqu'ici avec les procédés de synthèse de l'ammoniaque employant des pressions d'environ 200 atmosphères.
Pour la mise en aeuvre du présent pro cédé, on peut employer un appareil qui com porte un dispositif contenant la matière catalysante, autour duquel circulent les gaz devant réagir, de façon à être chauffés par contact indirect avec la matière catalysante avant de traverser celle-ci , et on peut d'ail- leurs régler la température des gaz pour la purification par des circuits de chauffage électrique; ce dispositif est de préférence iiitérebangeable avec ceux de l'installation produisant l'ammoniaque.
Grâce à l'hyper- '.pression la totalité de l'oxyde de carbone est transformée, avec production éventuelle d'une très légère quantité de carbone libre, en méthane et vapeur d'eau; celle-ci est con densée par le passage des gaz dans un ser pentin plongé dans un courant d'eau froide, puis dans un purgeur d'eau. L'oxygène qui petit être présent dans le mélange traité est également éliminé de la même façon sous forme d'eau.
Process for the elimination of oxygenated impurities contained in gases intended for the synthesis of ammonia under hyperpressiou, and apparatus for its anise covers. The present invention comprises a process for the elimination of the oxygenated impurities contained in the gases intended for the synthesis of ammonia under hyperpressure and an apparatus for its covering.
According to the present process, the mixture of hydrogen and nitrogen to be purified containing oxygenated impurities (carbon monoxide, oxygen, etc.) is passed hot, under the same high pressure used for the synthesis of ammonia, on an iron-based catalyzing material and the water thus formed is removed by simple cooling;
the temperature at which this purification can be carried out may be lower than that required for the synthetic production of ammonia, for example 400-450 0, and the catalyst material employed for the purification may be that which was used for the production catalyst of ammonia and which is exhausted from the point of view of this production. It has in fact been found that, under the above conditions, it is possible to destroy, with extreme efficiency, the carbon monoxide which may be present in the mixture treated, even when the proportion of carbon monoxide is very high. , for example greater than 5 / o.
The remarkable fact is that this is not a simple wise roughing-up, that is to say a removal of only most of the carbon monoxide, but that one can to obtain a remarkably complete destruction of this oxide, which can be prolonged for a very long time. Under these conditions, it becomes unnecessary to employ all the other complex, tedious or expensive purification methods which have in fact remained indispensable heretofore with the ammonia synthesis methods employing pressures of about 200 atmospheres.
For the implementation of the present process, an apparatus may be employed which comprises a device containing the catalyst material, around which circulate the gases to be reacted, so as to be heated by indirect contact with the catalyst material before passing through it. ci, and it is also possible to adjust the temperature of the gases for purification by electric heating circuits; this device is preferably iiitérebangeable with those of the installation producing ammonia.
Thanks to the hypertension, all of the carbon monoxide is transformed, with the possible production of a very slight quantity of free carbon, in methane and water vapor; this is condensed by passing the gases through a ser pentin immersed in a stream of cold water, then in a water trap. Oxygen which may be present in the treated mixture is also removed in the same way in the form of water.
