Description

  

  Procédé de préparation d'ammoniaque à partir des     oxydes    d'azote.    On a observé que les oxydes d'azote  supérieurs au protoxyde, c'est-à-dire les     oxydes     NO,     N20a    et     NOa,    dirigés avec un mélange  des gaz CO et H2 sur un catalyseur réduc  teur usuel, chauffé entre 200   et 400   sont  réduits avec un très bon rendement     et)        NH3     tandis qu'une partie de leur oxygène se fixe  sur le gaz CO en le transformant en C02.  



  Sur cette observation, on a fondé un pro  cédé de préparation de l'ammoniaque, suivant  lequel on fait passer, sur des     catalyseurs     réducteurs, chauffés entre 200   et 400   les  dits gaz additionnés d'un mélange de gaz  CO et     Hz.     



  On peut, après avoir traité les gaz ob  tenus par un alcali (tel que soude et chaux)  récupérer l'ammoniaque par les procédés usuels,  soit comme sulfate au moyen de l'acide sul  furique, soit comme ammoniaque sèche liqué  fiée par refroidissement convenable; dans ce  dernier cas, l'absorption de C02 se fait     avait-          tageusement    sur des alcalis solides     (chaux,     soude) qui retiennent aussi l'eau.  



  Parmi les catalyseurs réducteurs usuels  qui peuvent être utilisés, on indique ici comme  exemples ceux qui sont employés pour réaliser    la     synth(,se    catalytique du gaz     NHs    à partir  des gaz     Na    et Ha.  



  On peut employer le mélange des gaz CO  et     H2    obtenu par les réactions usuelles entre  la vapeur d'eau et le charbon (gaz à l'eau)  et purifié de façon à ne pas contenir d'autres  substances que les gaz C0,     H.:    et éventuelle  ment     N-2;    on emploie un excès de gaz ré  ducteur par rapport à l'oxygène de l'oxyde  d'azote traité.  



  Voici, à titre d'exemple, les résultats d'une  opération exécutée avec un gaz réducteur  formé (le volumes égaux de CO et de H2;  l'oxyde d'azote soumis à la récupération était  le gaz NO; le catalyseur était constitué par  du nickel en poudre, provenant de la réduc  tion de l'oxyde à basse température.  



  En opérant à la température de 200   à  la     pression    ordinaire, plus des 80       @o    du gaz  NO ont été transformés en     NH:,    ; une partie  a été réduite en azote.



  Process for preparing ammonia from nitrogen oxides. It has been observed that the nitrogen oxides higher than the protoxide, that is to say the oxides NO, N20a and NOa, directed with a mixture of the gases CO and H2 on a usual reducing catalyst, heated between 200 and 400 are reduced with a very good efficiency and) NH3 while a part of their oxygen is fixed on the CO gas, transforming it into C02.



  On this observation, a process for the preparation of ammonia was based, according to which one passes, over reducing catalysts, heated between 200 and 400, said gases to which a mixture of CO and Hz gases are added.



  It is possible, after having treated the gases obtained by an alkali (such as soda and lime) recover the ammonia by the usual methods, either as sulphate by means of sulfuric acid, or as dry ammonia liquefied by suitable cooling. ; in the latter case, the absorption of C02 occurs carefully on solid alkalis (lime, soda) which also retain water.



  Among the usual reducing catalysts which can be used, as examples are indicated those which are used to carry out the synth (, catalytic NHs gas from Na and Ha gases.



  It is possible to use the mixture of CO and H2 gases obtained by the usual reactions between water vapor and carbon (water gas) and purified so as not to contain substances other than the CO and H gases. : and possibly N-2; an excess of reducing gas relative to the oxygen of the nitrogen oxide treated is employed.



  Here, by way of example, the results of an operation carried out with a reducing gas formed (the equal volumes of CO and H2; the nitrogen oxide subjected to the recovery was the gas NO; the catalyst was constituted by powdered nickel, resulting from the reduction of the oxide at low temperature.



  By operating at the temperature of 200 at ordinary pressure, more than 80% of the NO gas has been transformed into NH :,; part of it was reduced to nitrogen.
