Description

  

  Verfahren zur Herstellung von     Cyannatrium.       Die Erfindung bezieht sich auf die       bekannte    Herstellung von     Cyannatrium    aus       Natriummetall,    Kohle und Ammoniak. Bei  diesem Verfahren werden beträchtliche Men  gen von Wasserstoff frei, welche, da sie die       Natrium-Metall-Cyannatriumschmelze    bei  sehr hohen Temperaturen passieren müssen,  mit feinsten Staubteilchen beladen sind und       ausserdem    noch organische     gasförmige    Ver  bindungen als Verunreinigungen enthalten.  Dieser Wasserstoff wurde bisher in der Regel  verloren gegeben, indem man ihn an der Luft  verbrannte.  



  Nach der Erfindung wird dieser Wasser  stoff für das     Cyannatriumherstellungsver-          fahren    nutzbar gemacht. Es bat sich näm  lich gezeigt, dass man den Wasserstoff mit  verhältnismässig einfachen Mitteln in eine  Form überführen kann, welche eine unmittel  bare Weiterverarbeitung auf Ammoniak er  möglicht, welch letzteres dann wieder in den  Vorgang zurückgeführt und zur Herstellung  von     I\Tatriummetall    benutzt wird.  



  In Ausübung der Erfindung kann man  zum Beispiel derart verfahren,     da,ss    man    den aus der     Natrium-Metall-Cyannatrium-          schm,elze    abgehenden, verunreinigten Wasser  stoff durch mit Wasser berieselte Kokstürme  leitet und ihn alsdann der Trocknung unter  wirft, was zum Beispiel durch Leiten durch  Kalktürme geschehen kann.

   Der so behan  delte Wasserstoff kann nun unter Zusatz  von Stickstoff, welcher auf billigem Wege,  zum Beispiel aus der Luft, gewonnen wer  den kann, durch Druckkatalyse in Ammo  niak übergeführt werden, welch letzteres  dann wieder mit     Natriummetall    und zum  Beispiel Holzkohle in Reaktion gebracht  wird.' Trotz der ausserordentlichen Einfach  heit der erwähnten Reinigungsmethode mit  Hilfe von Wasser verläuft die Überführung  desselben in Ammoniak in glatter, störungs  freier Weise. Es hat sich insbesondere ge  zeigt,     da-ss    die bekanntlich ausserordentlich  leicht     vergiftbaren    Kontakte nicht störend  beeinflusst werden. .  



  An Stelle der Wasserbehandlung können  gegebenenfalls auch andere einfache Reini  gungsmethoden verwendet werden.  



  Die Nutzbarmachung des bisher verloren      gegangenen Wasserstoffes im Kreislauf bie  tet den ausserordentlichen Vorteil, dass nun  mehr zur Herstellung von     Cyannatrium        nur     noch     Natriummetall    neben billigem Luft  stickstoff und billiger Kohle benötigt     -wird.     Der     weittragende    technische Fortschritt fällt  ohne weiteres ins Auge, wenn man bedenkt.

         d.ass    die     Cyanalkalifabriken    bisher das ver  flüssigte Ammoniak in Kesselwagen 'oder  Bomben beziehen mussten, wobei noch zu be  rücksichtigen ist, dass die Herstellung dieses  Ammoniaks durch Druckkatalyse ein um  ständliches und kostspieliges Verfahren     zui     Herstellung reinen Wasserstoffes zur Vor  aussetzung hatte, welches das Vorhandensein  einer besonders umfangreichen und raschem  Verschleiss unterliegenden Apparatur er  fordert.



  Process for the production of cyan sodium. The invention relates to the known production of cyan sodium from sodium metal, coal and ammonia. In this process, considerable amounts of hydrogen are released, which, since they have to pass the sodium-metal-cyanosodium melt at very high temperatures, are loaded with extremely fine dust particles and also contain organic gaseous compounds as impurities. Up to now, this hydrogen has usually been lost by burning it in the air.



  According to the invention, this hydrogen is made available for the cyan sodium production process. It has been shown that the hydrogen can be converted into a form with relatively simple means that enables immediate further processing on ammonia, which the latter is then returned to the process and used for the production of sodium metal.



  In practicing the invention, one can proceed, for example, in such a way that the contaminated hydrogen leaving the sodium-metal-cyan-sodium melt is passed through coke towers sprinkled with water and then subjected to drying, which is done, for example Passing through lime towers can be done.

   The hydrogen treated in this way can now be converted into ammonia by pressure catalysis with the addition of nitrogen, which can be obtained cheaply, for example from the air, and the latter is then reacted again with sodium metal and, for example, charcoal . ' Despite the extraordinary simplicity of the cleaning method mentioned with the aid of water, the conversion of the same to ammonia proceeds in a smooth, trouble-free manner. In particular, it has been shown that the known extremely easily poisonous contacts are not adversely affected. .



  Instead of the water treatment, other simple cleaning methods can optionally also be used.



  The utilization of the previously lost hydrogen in the cycle offers the extraordinary advantage that now only sodium metal is needed in addition to cheap air nitrogen and cheap coal to produce cyan sodium. The far-reaching technical progress immediately catches the eye when you think about it.

         That is, the cyanalkali factories previously had to obtain the liquefied ammonia in tank cars or bombs, whereby it should also be taken into account that the production of this ammonia by pressure catalysis had to be a laborious and costly process for the production of pure hydrogen, which had to be available He demands a particularly extensive and rapid wear and tear of the apparatus.
