Definitions

  • the temperature levels in the various parts of the system are arranged so as to make possible a transmission of heat in the required direction to the greatest possible extent.
  • the temperature levels are arranged so as to achieve values permitting an increased recovery of heat, and at least one component required for the reaction, that is, steam, is obtained either entirely or 2 partially by the evaporation of its liquid phase by the heat of the reaction products. In this way'favourable condi trons are created for carrying out the reaction. 7
  • Water gas containing CO and compressed, for example, to a pressure of 9 atmospheres is supplied through a condult 8 to an exchanger-saturator 1, Where it is heated and wetted or humidified by countercurrent contact with hot water ntroduced into the top part of the saturator.
  • the humrdlfied and heated gas is compressed by a blower 4 to a suitable pressure, for example, to 12.5 atmospheres, after'leaving the saturator and, if need be, the compressed gas is additionally humidified with steam admitted from the outside through a conduit 9.
  • the gas is further con-.
  • cooling condensate is supplied to the reactor through a conduit 12.
  • the gas en riched with hydrogen flows from the reactor 6 through the exchanger 5, where. it heats the humidified water gas from the blower 4, and then through a pre-cooler 7, where the hydrogen enriched gas is cooled and heats the water to be introduced into the top portion of the saturator 1
  • the pre-cooled gas then flows through an exchangercooler 2, where it is further cooled by water-quenching, prior to discharge through a conduit 13.
  • the conduit 13 C may, for example, extend into a pressure mediumfor further treatment in the latter of the cooled gas.
  • the present invention may be advantageously used in connection with any processes employed for chemical reactions, and in which complete utilisation of heat has an important bearing on the manufacturing cost.
  • the invention can also make possible the profitable conversion of CO from lighting gas for the purpose of reducing or even eliminating its poisonous properties or theconversion of poor gases for the purpose of increasing their caloric value by simultaneous washing of CO We claim: I
  • a process for producing hydrogen from a gaseous substance containing carbon monoxide the steps of contacting said gaseous substance in a saturating zone at a predetermined pressure with hot water so as to heat said gaseous substance, to vaporize a portion of said Water, and to cool the remaining portion of said water; conducting said gaseous substance and said vaporized water to a reaction zone to form therein a hydrogen enriched reaction gas containing water vapor; increasing the pressure of said gas over said predetermined pressure by substantially 39%; contacting said reaction gas at said increased pressure in a cooling zone with said cooled remaining water portion so as to condense a portion of said water vapor, to heat said water portion, and to cool said reaction gas; and conducting the heated water and condensed water vapor to said saturating zone for contact with said gaseous substance.
