Abstract:
The invention relates to an absorption agent for selectively removing hydrogen sulphide from a fluid flow containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, containing a) 10 to 70 wt.% of at least one sterically-hindered secondary amine that has at least one ether group and/or at least one hydroxyl group in the molecule; b) at least one non-aqueous solvent that has at least two functional groups, selected from ether groups and hydroxyl groups, in the molecule, and c) a cosolvent where appropriate; wherein the hydroxyl group density of the absorption agent ρ Abs lies in the range of 8.5 to 35 mol(OH)/kg. Moreover, a method is described for selectively removing hydrogen sulphide from a fluid flow containing carbon dioxide and hydrogen sulphide, said fluid flow being brought into contact with the absorption agent. The absorption agent is characterised by a good regeneration capacity and high cyclic acid gas capacity.
Abstract:
A compound of the general formula (I) in which R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are independently selected from C 1- 4 -alkyl and C 1-4 -hydroxyalkyl; each R 4 is independently selected from hydrogen, C 1-4 -alkyl and C 1-4 -hydroxyalkyl; each R 5 is independently selected from hydrogen, C 1-4 -alkyl and C 1-4 -hydroxyalkyl; m is 2, 3, 4 or 5; n is 2, 3, 4 or 5; and o is an integer from 1 to 10. A preferred compound of the formula (I) is 2-(2-tert-butylaminoethoxy)ethylamine. Absorbents comprising a compound of the formula (I) have rapid absorption of carbon dioxide from fluid streams and are also suitable for processes for the simultaneous removal of H 2 S and CO 2 , where given H 2 S limits have to be observed but complete removal of CO 2 is not required.

The invention relates to a method for treating an H2S and CO2-containing fluid flow, wherein a) the fluid flow is treated with a first sub-flow (3.01) of a regenerated H2S-selective absorbent in a first absorber (A1) at a pressure of 10 to 150 bar, and a treated fluid flow (3.03) and an H2S-loaded absorbent (3.04) are obtained; b) the H2S-loaded absorbent is heated by means of an indirect heat exchange (3.07) with a regenerated H2S-selective absorbent (3.08); c) the heated H2S-loaded absorbent (3.09) is expanded to a pressure of 1.2 to 10 bar in a low-pressure expansion container (LPF), and a first CO2-enriched exhaust gas and a partially regenerated absorbent (3.11) are obtained; d) the partially regenerated absorbent (3.11) is regenerated in a desorption column (D), and an H2S-enriched exhaust gas (3.23) and a regenerated absorbent (3.08) are obtained; e) the H2S-enriched exhaust gas (3.23) is supplied to a Claus unit (CL), the exhaust gas of the Claus unit is supplied to a hydrogenation unit (HY), and a hydrogenated Claus final gas is obtained; f) the hydrogenated Claus final gas and the first CO2-enriched exhaust gas are treated with a second sub-flow (3.18) of the regenerated H2S-selective absorbent (3.17) in a second absorber (TGA) at a pressure of 1 to 4 bar, and a second CO2-enriched exhaust gas (3.25) and a second H2S-loaded absorbent (3.02) are obtained; and g) the second H2S-loaded absorbent is conducted into the first absorber (A1). The invention further relates to a system which is suitable for carrying out the method. The invention is characterized by a low energy requirement.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an absorbent for the selective removal of hydrogen sulfide from a fluid stream, containing an aqueous solution comprising a) a tertiary amine; b) an amine pH promoter, selected from the compounds mentioned in the description; wherein the molar ratio between b) and a) is in the range of 0.05 to 1.0; and c) an acid having a pK s value of less than 6 in an amount such that the pH value of the aqueous solution is 7.9 to less than 8.8 when measured at 120 °C. Furthermore, the invention relates to a method for the removal of acid gases from a fluid stream, in which the fluid stream is brought into contact with the absorbent. The absorbent is characterized by a low regeneration energy.
Abstract:
Bei einem Verfahren zur Diskriminierung von cis- und trans -1,3-Diaminocyclohexanen, setzt man ein Gemisch von cis- und trans -1,3-Diaminocyclohexanen mit Kohlendioxid oder einem reaktiven Kohlensäurederivat um und erhält selektiv den Harnstoff des cis- 1,3-Diaminocyclohexans, der durch ein mechanisches Trennverfahren abgetrennt werden kann. 4-Methylcyclohexan-1,3-diamin und/oder 2-Methylcyclohexan-1,3-diamin mit einem trans -Gehalt von 99 Mol-% oder mehr sind auf diese Weise erhältlich.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for removing hydrogen sulphide and carbon dioxide from a stream of fluid, the method comprising: a) an absorption step, in which the stream of fluid is brought into contact with an absorption agent comprising an aqueous solution (i) of an amine of general formula (I), where R 1 , R 2 and R 3 are selected independently of one another from among C 1-4 alkyl and C 1-4 hydroxyalkyl; R 4 in each case is independently selected from among hydrogen, C 1-4 alkyl and C 1-4 hydroxyalkyl; R 5 in each case is selected from among hydrogen, C 1-4 alkyl and C 1-4 hydroxyalkyl; X represents OH or NH(CR 1 R 2 R 3 ); m represents 2, 3, 4 or 5; n represents 2, 3, 4 or 5; and o represents 0 or 1; and optionally (ii) at least one tertiary amine, the molar ratio of (i) to (ii) is greater than 0.05; wherein at least 90% of the hydrogen sulphide is removed from the stream of fluid, the selectivity for hydrogen sulphide in relation to carbon dioxide is no greater than 8 and a CO 2 - and H 2 S-loaded absorbent agent is thus obtained; b) a regeneration step, in which at least one sub-stream of the CO 2 - and H 2 S-loaded absorption agent is regenerated and a regenerated absorption agent is thus obtained; and c) a recirculation step, in which at least one sub-stream of the regenerated absorption agent is recirculated to the absorption step a). The method permits a high degree of separation of the hydrogen sulphide with a simultaneously high coabsorption of carbon dioxide.
