Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for purifying a synthesis gas containing at least 50% of a mixture of CO and H 2 and 10 to 50% of acid gases.
- Syngas also known as syngas, is a gaseous mixture of carbon monoxide (CO) and hydrogen (H 2 ) in varying proportions. It also very often contains acid gases. "Acidic gases” means the
- the synthesis gas may optionally also contain carbon oxysulfide (COS), ammonia (NH 3 ), hydrogen cyanide (HCN), methane (CH 4 ), nitrogen (N 2 ) and water (H 2 0).
- COS carbon oxysulfide
- NH 3 ammonia
- HCN hydrogen cyanide
- CH 4 methane
- N 2 nitrogen
- H 2 0 water
- Methods for acid gas removal by solvent washing are traditionally used to partially or completely remove CO 2 and H 2 S from the synthesis gas. These processes generally involve introducing into a bottom washing tower the gas to
- the Rectisol® process uses methanol as the solvent. This compound has a very high vapor pressure, which makes it very volatile. To limit methanol losses by evaporation, it is therefore necessary to work at very low temperatures (down to -70 ° C) or to set up washing towers with water. This represents one of the main disadvantages of this technology because the cooling system is energy intensive and the facilities to be provided to work at these temperatures are expensive.
- the solvent used is polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether (DMEPG) which has a very low vapor pressure, which makes it less volatile and therefore limits the losses by evaporation.
- DMEPG polyethylene glycol dimethyl ether
- the relative solubility of H 2 S in DMEPG is much higher than that of C0 2 .
- the Selexol® process is thus based on a double absorption with two columns operating in a cycle: the first column makes it possible to capture the H 2 S while the second column makes it possible to capture the C0 2 .
- Regeneration of the solvent used in the second column is by several flash distillations, by successive expansion or by withdrawal by an inert gas such as air or nitrogen. Traces of water, HCN and possibly mercaptans can also be eliminated on this occasion.
- the flow diagram is similar to that of the Selexol® process with two wash columns: one for the absorption of H 2 S and one for the absorption of CO 2 .
- NMP catalyzes the hydrolysis of carbon oxysulfide (COS): it is therefore an interesting solvent for the capture of sulfur products.
- the present invention relates to a process for purifying a gas comprising at least 50% by volume of a mixture of CO and H 2 and acid gases, using as washing solvent a compound or a mixture of compounds of formula CH 3 - (OCH 2) n -O-CH 3 , n being between 1 and 20, preferably between 2 and 10.

- the washing solvent can be a mixture of at least one compound of formula CH 3 - (OCH 2 ) n -O-CH 3 , n being between 1 and 20, and a solvent of the family of amines.
- the subject of the invention is a method for purifying a gas. It can be a process for removing acid gases from a gas.

- the process of the present invention may advantageously be a CO 2 removal process.
- the gas to be treated is a gas comprising at least 50% by volume, preferably from 50% to 85%, more preferably from 55% to 80%, and even more preferably from 60% to 70%, a mixture of CO and H 2 .
- the gas to be treated comprises from 10% to 50% by volume, preferably from 15% to 50%, more preferably from 20% to 50%, and even more preferably from 30% to 45%, acid gas selected from CO 2 , H 2 S and a mixture of CO 2 and H 2 S.
- the gas to be treated comprises from 10% to 50% by volume, preferably from 15% to 50%, more preferably from 20% to 50%, and still more preferably from 30% to 45%. of C0 2 .

- the washing solvent of the present invention advantageously makes it possible to capture the CO 2 present in the gas to be treated efficiently.

- the inventors have discovered that it is possible to implement the process of the present invention by absorption-regeneration cycles without the absorption capacity of acid gases, and in particular of CO 2 , by the solvent decreasing in time, and this without input or with a low input of thermal energy. Indeed, they found that the solvent could be regenerated at atmospheric pressure or under vacuum, at room temperature, without the absorption capacity of acid gases, including CO 2 , of the solvent is affected. It is therefore possible to minimize the energy expenditure generally required for the regeneration of the washing solvent.

- FIG. 8 is a diagram illustrating the absorption rate of CO 2 in a moist gas stream with the POM-METHYL compound (2, 8) and the regeneration of this flux.
- the absorption capacity is indicated on the ordinate in NL / Kg at 10 bar (absolute pressure).
- the number of cycles is specified on the abscissa. Regenerations were performed at 25 ° C and atmospheric pressure.
- FIG. 9 is a diagram illustrating the absorption capacity of CO 2 by a mixture of POM-METHYL (2, 8) (80%) and MDEA (20%) compounds.
- the absorption capacity is given in NL / Kg on the ordinate and the absolute pressure on the abscissa.
- Figure 10 is a diagram illustrating the absorption capacity of H 2 S with a mixture of POM-METHYL (2, 8) compounds (80%) and MDEA (20%).
- the absorption capacity is given in NL / Kg on the ordinate and the absolute pressure on the abscissa.
- the measurements were made using a pilot laboratory absorption unit. In an I L reactor, a certain amount of the washing solvent was introduced. The little air in the atmosphere was removed by evacuating the reactor with a vacuum pump. The gas on which measurements were to be made was stored in a 1 L flask. A certain quantity of this gas was sent to the reactor.
- the reactor and the balloon, as well as their communication lines, were equipped with pressure and temperature sensors.
- the reactor was stirred.
- the decrease of the pressure in the reactor indicates the absorption of the gas by the solvent. It is therefore possible, by this method, to calculate the amount of gas absorbed by the solvent, and therefore the absorption capacity of the gas by the solvent, depending on the pressure at a given temperature.
- POM-METHYL (2,8) denotes the washing solvent comprising a mixture of compounds of formula CH 3 - (OCH 2 ) n -O-CH 3 , n ranging from 2 to 8.
- the CO 2 absorption capacity by POM-METHYL (2.8) was measured according to the protocol described above, and then the solvent was regenerated by expansion. The absorption - regeneration cycle was repeated a number of times. At each cycle, the absorption capacity of C0 2 by POM-METHYL (2.8) was remeasured.
- the C0 2 absorption capacity by POM-METHYL (2, 8) was measured according to the protocol described above, and then the solvent was regenerated. The regeneration absorption cycle was repeated a number of times. At each cycle, the CO 2 absorption capacity by POM-METHYL (2, 8) was remeasured.
- the absorption capacity of CO 2 by POM-METHYL (2,8) was measured according to the protocol described above, and then the solvent was regenerated by expansion.
- the absorption - regeneration cycle was repeated a number of times. At each cycle, the CO 2 absorption capacity by POM-METHYL (2, 8) was remeasured.
- the solvent was used in one pure case, and in another case in a mixture with water (90% by weight of methylmethyl) and 10% by weight of water).
