Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the deacidification of a fluid stream, containing acidic gases as impurities, whereby the fluid stream is brought into intimate contact with an absorption agent at a pressure of 0.5 to 20 bar in at least one absorption step, with the proviso that the absorption step and, in the case of multiple absorption steps, at least one of the absorption steps is carried out in an inert scrubbing column, the internal surface of which is essentially made from plastic or rubber.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a method for the separation of ammonia from a mixture which contains ammonia and whose boiling point in an ammonia-free state is more than 50 DEG C higher than the boiling point of pure ammonia, characterized in that said method comprises n stages, n being a natural number of at least 2, wherein a) said mixture is fed to stage 1; b) at each stage m, m being a natural number of 1 to n-1, part of the ammonia is separated from the educt mixture fed from stage 1 at a pressure Pm by means of evaporation in order to obtain a product mixture which has an ammonia content corresponding to pressure Pm and temperature tm, and gaseous ammonia, c) the product mixture obtained in stage m is used in step m+1 as an educt mixture, with the exception of stage n, according to step b), d) in step n, the ammonia is separated at a pressure Pn and temperature tn either partially or fully from the educt mixture fed from stage n-1 by means of evaporation in order to obtain a product and gaseous ammonia, each pressure Pm being greater than Pm+1.
Abstract:
Removing acid gases from a fluid stream involves passing the fluid stream over one side of a porous membrane while passing a liquid absorbent over the other side, the membrane being contained in a membrane unit with a housing having a plastic or rubber interior surface. Independent claims are also included for: (1) A method of desorbing acid gases from a loaded absorbent by passing the absorbent over one side of a membrane while passing an inert gas over the other side of the membrane; (2) A floating platform for producing and deacidifying natural gas, suitable for operation on open waters, comprising a natural gas production unit, a membrane unit as above for removing acid gases as above, and optionally a membrane unit for desorbing acid gases from the loaded absorbent.
Abstract:
Deacidifying a fluid stream containing acid gas impurities by contacting the fluid stream with an absorbent at 0.5-20 bar in at least one absorption stage involves performing at least one absorption stage in an inert scrubber column with a plastic or rubber interior surface. An independent claim is also included for an apparatus for carrying out the process, comprising one or more series-connected scrubber columns filled with wash solution, at least one of the columns being an inert scrubber column with a plastic or rubber interior surface.
Abstract:
In a process and an apparatus for the joint purification in a wash column (VII) by means of a washing liquid (5) of the waste gases (1,3) and/or vapors (2) formed in the production of inorganic fertilizers, the waste gases (1,2,3) introduced into the wash column are sprayed with a wash liquid (11) after their entry into the lower part of the wash column. The column is typically a filled column with waste gas distribution elements disposed below the filler and spray nozzles near the distributors.
Abstract:
Treatment of combustion gases (I) containing sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) comprises a first absorption stage (a), in which SO2 is removed by scrubbing with aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate, followed by a second absorption stage (b) in which CO2 is removed by scrubbing with amine(s) (II) (optionally in aqueous solution), aqueous potassium hydroxide solution (optionally containing (II)) or aqueous aliphatic aminoacid alkali metal salt solution, the CO2-charged scrubbing liquid from (b) being regenerated and recycled. Treatment of combustion gases (I) containing sulfur dioxide (SO2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) as impurities involves: (1) an absorption stage (a), in which the gas is intimately contacted with a scrubbing liquid (A) comprising an aqueous suspension of calcium hydroxide or calcium carbonate, followed by separating the SO2-charged scrubbing liquid (A) and the remaining, non-absorbed part of (I); (2) an absorption stage (b), in which the non-absorbed part of (I) is intimately contacted with a scrubbing liquid (B) comprising a solution (b1) consisting of at least one amine compound (II) (optionally in aqueous solution), a solution (b2) consisting of water, potassium hydroxide and optionally (II) or a solution (b3) consisting of water and the alkali metal salt of an aliphatic aminoacid, followed by separating the CO2-charged scrubbing liquid (B) and the remaining, non-absorbed part of (I); and (3) regenerating the CO2-charged solution (B) and recycling it to absorption stage (b). (II) are selected from 4-12C aliphatic or cycloaliphatic amines; 4-12C alkanolamines; and cyclic amines consisting of 5-7 membered heterocycles consisting of 1 or 2 N atoms and 1 or 2 alkanediyl groups.
