Except table 1 data, the oxygen concentration in thick prussic acid product is very low, preferably lower than 0.5 volume %, because content may trigger shut-down event or necessary emptying when higher.As shown in table 1, in the time adopting oxygen Andrussow method, increase the concentration of HCN, can be accompanied by increase and the unreacted ammonia of water concentration, the concentration of for example residual ammonia increases.From described thick prussic acid product, separate described residual ammonia and reclaim.But the water concentration increasing in described thick prussic acid product has changed separation and the recovery process of described ammonia.Using the thick prussic acid product of air explained hereafter different from separation, is not concentrated but concentrated together with ammonia together with HCN from the water in described thick prussic acid product.In air technique, concentrated together with HCN from the water in crude product, therefore the water in ammonia sepn process is to less.Use the thick prussic acid product in the utility model, water need to be removed from ammonia.Due to the water concentration increasing, in ammonia sepn process, need higher temperature, and therefore increased the possibility that ammonia tripping device is corroded.Unexpectedly, have been found that in the time using oxygen-rich air or purity oxygen Andrussow method, have the temperature of rising from ammonia desorption tower overhead streams, it can be used for described fluid to flow through waste heat boiler and produce a fluid streams.The described fluid waste heat boiler of flowing through has reduced corrosion simultaneously, and allows to reclaim heat to be integrated into the refining district of prussic acid in technique from this fluid.Especially, the utility model can reclaim low-pressure steam, and for example, containing pressure is the steam that is less than 400kPa, for example, lower than 315kPa.Be gauge pressure except as otherwise noted, described pressure all refers to absolute pressure.In some embodiments, described steam has the pressure of 180-400kPa, for example 180-380kPa, 180-310kPa or 200-280kPa.Be construed as described low-pressure steam and there is the pressure lower than 400kPa higher than normal atmosphere.Conventionally preferably low-pressure steam is applicable in heat integral process, wherein by described ammonia desorption tower and the close setting of HCN refining system.Need to be used for the length of the pipeline that transmits described low-pressure steam of the present utility model, can be less than 50m or be less than 25m, be applicable near the ammonia desorption tower and the HCN refining system that arrange.
Term " air " refers to the gaseous mixture that composition is roughly the same with the original composition of gas of taking from atmosphere (conventionally at ground place) as used herein.In some instances, air is taken from surrounding environment.Air has following composition, comprises oxygen, the argon gas of approximately 1% volume and the carbonic acid gas of approximately 0.04% volume of the nitrogen of approximately 78% volume, approximately 21% volume, and other a small amount of gas.
Term " oxygen-rich air " refers to that composition comprises than the gaseous mixture of existing more oxygen in air as used herein.Oxygen-rich air has following composition, comprise be greater than 21% volume oxygen, be less than 78% volume nitrogen, be less than the argon gas of 1% volume and be less than the carbonic acid gas of 0.04% volume.Oxygen-rich air can comprise the oxygen that is greater than 21-100 volume %, be for example greater than 21-99.5 volume % oxygen, be greater than the oxygen of 21-95 volume % or be greater than the oxygen of 21-80 volume %.
The formation of HCN in Andrussow method is typically expressed as following general reaction:
2CH 4+2NH 3+3O 2→2HCN+6H 2O
But, it will be appreciated that, what above-mentioned reaction represented is the simplification of a more complicated dynamic process, and in described dynamic process, a part of hydrocarbon is first oxidized, and to produce necessary heat energy, to support remaining hydrocarbon and the ammonia to carry out the heat absorption of HCN synthetic.
Between the synthesis phase of HCN, also can there are three basic side reactions:
CH 4+H 2O→CO+3H 2
2CH 4+3O 2→2CO+4H 2O
4NH 3+3O 2→2N 2+6H 2O
Except the amount of the nitrogen that produces, according to oxygen source, in thick product, may there is extra nitrogen in side reaction.Although suggestion can be used oxygen-rich air or purity oxygen as oxygen source in prior art, use the advantage of oxygen-rich air or purity oxygen not developed completely.In the time using air as oxygen source, the thick aeriferous component of prussic acid product bag as the nitrogen of 78 volume %, and has produced nitrogen in the side reaction of ammonia and oxygen.
Due to airborne a large amount of nitrogen, therefore in HCN synthetic, use oxygen-rich air (nitrogen containing with air ratio is few) is favourable, this is because use air can cause described synthesizing in a large amount of rare gas element (nitrogen) to be carried out as oxygen source in the production of HCN, this need to use larger equipment in synthesis step, and causes the lower concentration of HCN in product gas.In addition, due to the existence of inert nitrogen, for the temperature of ternary gas mixture component is increased to and can maintains the synthetic temperature of HCN, the more methane that need to burn (in the time using air, comparing with oxygen-rich air).Therefore, in the production of HCN, use oxygen-rich air or pure oxygen to replace air that several benefits are provided, comprise the raising of Sweet natural gas to the transformation efficiency of HCN, and be attended by reducing of processing unit size.Therefore, the inert compound that uses oxygen-rich air or pure oxygen to enter synthesis technique by minimizing has reduced the size of reactor, and has reduced at least one parts of gas downstream treatment facility.The use of oxygen-rich air or pure oxygen has also reduced heating and has contained oxygen feed gas to the desired energy expenditure of temperature of reaction.
Have been found that partly oxygen-containing gas by enough oxygen enrichments are provided and the mol ratio by adjusting ammonia/methane, to sufficiently high level, can make the throughput of HCN and production efficiency all improve significantly, keep stable operation simultaneously.In one embodiment, in described ternary gas mixture, the mol ratio of ammonia and oxygen is 1.2-1.6, and the mol ratio of ammonia and methane is 1-1.5, for example 1.1-1.45, and the mol ratio of methane and oxygen is 1-1.25, for example 1.05-1.15.For example ternary gas mixture can have mol ratio and 1.2 methane and the mol ratio of oxygen of 1.3 ammonia and oxygen.In another exemplary embodiment, described ternary gas mixture can have mol ratio and 1.15 methane and the mol ratio of oxygen of 1.5 ammonia and oxygen.Oxygen concentration in described ternary gas mixture can be according to these mol ratios and difference.Be construed as all excess temperature and pressure compensations of described mol ratio.Further, the oxygen that described ternary gas mixture comprises at least 25 volume %, for example oxygen of at least 28 volume %.In some embodiments, the oxygen that described ternary gas mixture comprises 25-32 volume %, for example oxygen of 26-30 volume %.
In general, Fig. 1 has shown HCN production system 10.Conventionally in reaction unit 12, ammonia recovery system 14 and HCN refining system 16, produce HCN.To comprise oxygenous incoming flow 18, contain methane feed stream 20 and pass into described reaction unit 12 containing the reactant gases of ammonia incoming flow 22.On the one hand, the described gas containing methane can be obtained by the raw material containing lower than 90% methane, and can carry out as required purifying and obtain.Reaction unit can have the mixing device that comprises one or more static mixers, and for the production of the ternary gas mixture of mixing completely, this ternary gas mixture is passed through catalyst bed.
The thick prussic acid product 24 of withdrawing from from reaction unit 12 is introduced into ammonia recovery system 14.Preferably, use oxygen-rich air or pure oxygen as reactant gases to form thick prussic acid product 24.Due to the oxygen concn that is at least 25 volume % in ternary gas mixture, therefore in thick prussic acid product 24, also produce the water of higher concentration.In an embodiment, can for example, containing the water of at least 25 volume %, the water of at least 30 volume % in thick prussic acid product 24.If with Range Representation, in thick prussic acid product 24, can contain the water of 25-50 volume %, be for example the water of 30-40 volume %.On the contrary, in the time having formed thick prussic acid product 24 with air as reactant gases, water to exist lower than the amount of 25 volume %, for example, is 20-24 volume %.Higher water concentration during due to oxygen-rich air or the production of purity oxygen method in waste gas, makes ammonia recovery system 14 under higher temperature, move to reclaim ammonia, and described ammonia is back in reaction unit 12 through pipeline 26.Do not retrained by theory, think that ammonia can raise and increase along with temperature the infection of production unit.In order to prevent the corrosion of ammonia recovery system 14, can carry out cooling heated fluid by catching unnecessary heat.Can use waste heat boiler to reclaim the heat using in ammonia recovery system 14, and set it as steam and pass in HCN refining system 16 via pipeline 28.In order to realize the purpose of this utility model, the steam of recovery is to have the low-pressure steam that is less than 400kPa pressure, for example pressure of 180-380kPa, 180-310kPa or 200-280kPa.Due to Infrastructure and the expenditure of the low pressure of this steam and low this low-pressure steam of transport, described steam-energy is closely integrated and is used in HCN refining system 16.
Advantageously, the heat reclaiming from ammonia recovery system can be used for refining HCN incoming flow 30 to refine the HCN product 32 into purifying.HCN is refining to carry out at a certain temperature, in order to avoid fouling or the obstruction of the equipment of the HCN refining system 16 causing because of nitrile and polymerization.Maintaining HCN refines in suitable temperature and can reduce or stop HCN autocatalysis polymerization.Further, can be captured in efficiently in ammonia desorption tower except anhydrating the heat of required increase in the multiple positions recycling by HCN purification system, therefore improve the economy of producing HCN.
