Now with detailed reference to specific disclosed theme.Although disclosed theme is described in connection with cited claim, however be appreciated that they not by disclosed subject matter restricted in these claims.On the contrary, disclosed theme has covered all replacement schemes, change and equivalent, within these can be contained in the scope of disclosed theme defined by the claims.
In being used to form the Andrussow method of HCN, under the existence of catalyzer, methane, ammonia and oxygen raw material react and generate the thick prussic acid product that contains HCN, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, carbonic acid gas, nitrogen, residual ammonia, residual methane and water at more than approximately 1000 ℃ temperature.By these components, if raw material is as comprising oxygen-containing gas, providing to reactor containing the ternary gas mixture of ammonia gas and methane-containing gas.Catalyzer is generally silk screen platinum/rhodium alloy or silk screen platinum/iridium alloy.Described catalyst bed can be made by braiding or layout.Other catalyst component be can use, platinum metals, platinum-group metal alloy, loading type platinum family metal or loading type platinum family metal alloy included but not limited to.Also other catalyst configuration be can use, vesicular structure, silk screen, lamellar body, spheroid, block, foam, Dipping and coating cleaning included but not limited to.Conventionally use Sweet natural gas as the raw material of methane, use air, oxygen-rich air or pure oxygen as oxygen source.Ternary gas mixture by catalyzer to form thick prussic acid product.Then separated described thick prussic acid product is to reclaim HCN.
As described here, the thick prussic acid product from Andrussow method or BMA method comprises HCN, residual ammonia and residual oxygen.In Andrussow method, by some variablees, control residual methane content, comprise the mol ratio of reactants, methane, ammonia and oxygen, the transformation efficiency of reactant and reaction efficiency.Advantageously, can improve the method by controlling the amount of the methane in thick prussic acid product.If the methane existing in thick prussic acid product very little, residual ammonia possibility cracking is to form nitrogen and hydrogen.If there is too many methane in thick prussic acid product, at purification of crude prussic acid when reclaiming HCN, may in thick prussic acid product, can form not conceivable impurity, comprise nitrile, as acetonitrile.Further polymerization hinder separating technology of nitrile, thus cause production efficiency not enough.Described nitrile will have to from separating technology, discharge to avoid obstruction.Based on the purpose of this utility model, the methane content in controlled thick prussic acid product is between 0.05 and 1 volume %, as 0.05-0.55 volume % or 0.2-0.3 volume %.Methane content in thick prussic acid product is between 0.6 and 1 volume % time, and the quantity not sufficient of the nitrile of formation is removed in sepn process with needs, so this methane content is acceptable in thick prussic acid product.But along with the growth of time, these nitrile polymerizables also block separating device.Therefore, when separating device continuously or semi-continuous running in the time of at least 6 months, optimization methane content is 0.05-0.55 volume % or 0.2-0.3 volume %.
Therefore, in one embodiment, the utility model relates to a kind of thick prussic acid product of producing in the method for the preparation of prussic acid, and the methane that wherein said thick prussic acid product comprises prussic acid and 0.05-1 volume %, as the methane of 0.05-0.55 volume % or 0.2-0.3 volume %.This thick prussic acid product composition may be irrelevant with its preparation method, as long as contain methane in reactant.
As described here, there are several variablees of the amount of controlling this methane.According to Andrussow method, be used to form the reactant that HCN uses and comprise ammonia, methane and oxygen, wherein every kind is all to provide with gas form.Containing ammonia gas, methane-containing gas and oxygen-containing gas, before entering reactor by import, for example in the combination in mixing vessel of the upstream of reactor, also mix.A variable controlling the amount of methane in thick prussic acid product is that ammonia in ternary gas mixture is than the mol ratio of oxygen.In some embodiments, the ammonia in ternary gas mixture is 1.2-1.6 than the mol ratio of oxygen.Methane can be 1-1.25 than the mol ratio of oxygen.If need to adjust methane than the mol ratio of oxygen, preferably adjust the flow velocity of methane and keep the flow velocity of oxygen.
Therefore, the utility model also relate to control ammonia than oxygen and methane than the method for the mol ratio of oxygen.When adjustment comprises the mol ratio of oxygen, there are several Considerations.This is due to the combustibility of ternary gas mixture and limits of explosion, if particularly using oxygen-rich air as oxygen-containing gas, as contained the air that is greater than 21 volume % oxygen, as the air that contains at least 80 volume % oxygen is as oxygen-containing gas.
For accurately adjust ammonia than oxygen and methane than the mol ratio of oxygen, need to reduce or eliminate the leakage of ternary gas mixture and component thereof, for example, in the leakage of the catalyst bed gas containing methane around.Above-mentioned leakage, can be by comprising that a ring catalyst support described herein reduces described leakage also referred to as by-pass flow.By reducing essence for example, reduce or eliminate the by-pass flow of catalyst bed methane-containing gas around, if compare methane-containing gas by-pass flow catalyst bed, it can more predictably control the flow velocity of methane in thick prussic acid product.In other words, when methane can by-pass flow catalyst bed, the control that methane is leaked is impossible.The utility model has the advantages that and can, by utilizing a kind of air-locked ring support to eliminate the catalyst bed by-pass flow of methane around, so can control methane by the flow velocity of adjusting methane.
strengthen oxygen content
As described here, can use ammonia than the mol ratio of oxygen and methane than the amount of mole recently controlling methane in thick prussic acid product of oxygen.The method that regulates these ratios at least in part based on oxygen-containing gas, be therefore also the oxygen level of ternary gas mixture.
Term " air " refers to the gaseous mixture that composition is roughly the same with the original composition of gas of taking from atmosphere (conventionally ground place) as used herein.In some instances, air is taken from surrounding environment.Air has following composition, comprises the carbonic acid gas of the oxygen of the nitrogen of approximately 78% volume, approximately 21% volume, the argon gas of approximately 1% volume and approximately 0.04% 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.In some embodiments, oxygen-rich air comprises the oxygen of at least 28% volume, for example the oxygen of at least 80% volume, for example oxygen of at least 95% volume, or the oxygen of at least 99% 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.When using air as oxygen source, the thick aeriferous component of prussic acid product bag, the nitrogen of 78 volume % according to appointment, and produced nitrogen in the side reaction of ammonia and oxygen.
Due to airborne a large amount of nitrogen, therefore in HCN synthetic, use and oxygen-rich air that nitrogen that air ratio contains 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 (when using air, comparing with oxygen-rich air).Thick prussic acid product comprises HCN, and also comprises by product hydrogen, methyl hydride combustion by product (carbon monoxide, carbonic acid gas, water), residual methane and residual ammonia.But, when using air (oxygen of 21 volume % according to appointment), at the after separating from other gaseous fractions by HCN and callable ammonia, the existence of inert nitrogen make residual gas stream with fuel value may be lower than the desirable value for energy recovery.
Therefore, in the production of HCN, use oxygen-rich air or pure oxygen to replace air that several benefits can be provided, comprise that Sweet natural gas is to the raising of 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 by provide enough oxygen enrichments oxygen-containing gas and by adjust ammonia than the mol ratio of methane to sufficiently high level, can, so that the throughput of HCN and production efficiency all improve significantly, keep stable operation simultaneously.In one embodiment, described oxygen-containing gas contains the oxygen that is greater than 21 volume %, as the oxygen of the oxygen of the oxygen of at least 80 volume %, at least 95 volume % or at least 99 volume %, ammonia in ternary gas mixture than the mol ratio of oxygen in the scope of 1.3-1.5, as in the scope of 1.3-1.4, and the ammonia in ternary gas mixture than the mol ratio of methane in the scope of 1.1-1.45.In another embodiment, the oxygen that ternary gas mixture contains at least 25 volume %, ammonia is 1.2-1.6 than the mol ratio of oxygen, and ammonia is 1-1.5 than the mol ratio of methane, and as 1.1-1.45, and methane is 1-1.25 than the mol ratio of oxygen, as 1.05-1.15.For example, ternary gas mixture can have 1.3 ammonia than the methane of the mol ratio of oxygen and 1.2 than the mol ratio of oxygen.In another exemplary, ternary gas mixture can have 1.5 ammonia than the methane of the mol ratio of oxygen and 1.15 than the mol ratio of oxygen.Wherein oxygen concn may be according to the difference of these mol ratios and difference.
The amount of the oxygen that utilizes flammable limit to control to exist in ternary gas mixture.The combination of some air, methane and ammonia is flammable, and therefore will be after lighting propagating flame.If between the upper and lower bound of the gas composition of the mixture of a kind of air, methane and ammonia in flammable limit, this mixture will burn.The mixture of the air outside this scope, methane and ammonia is generally non-combustible.The use of oxygen rich gas can change the concentration of the inflammable substance in ternary gas mixture.The oxygen level that improves oxygen-containing gas feed stream can significantly expand flammable range.For example, the mixture of the methane of the air that contains 45 volume % and 55 volume % is considered to fuel enrichment and nonflammable, and the methane of the oxygen that contains 45 volume % and 55 volume % is flammable.
Another problem is limits of explosion.For example, under normal atmosphere and room temperature, the methane that contains 60 volume % oxygen, 20 volume % and the gaseous mixture of 20 volume % ammonias can explode.
Therefore, although find that the use of oxygen-rich air is favourable in the production of HCN, yet the air that is rich in oxygen must cause the change of the concentration of the inflammable substance in ternary gas mixture, and the change of this inflammable substance concentration can improve the upper limit of flammability of the ternary gas mixture that enters reactor.Therefore, the detonation of ternary gas mixture and blast are very sensitive to the concentration of oxygen.Term used herein " deflagration " refers to the combustion wave of propagating with subsonic velocity before being in close proximity to flame with respect to unburned gas." blast " refers to sentence before being in close proximity to flame with respect to unburned gas the combustion wave of Supersonic transport.Deflagration causes appropriate increased pressure conventionally, and blast may cause excessive increased pressure.
Other suggestions are used oxygen rich gas for increasing HCN production capacity, and they generally avoid operating in zone of flammability.Referring to U.S. Patent number 5,882,618,6,491,876 and 6,656,442, its whole content is contained in herein by reference.In the utility model, the charging of controlling oxygen-rich air or purity oxygen is the ternary gas mixture in blast area not to form in zone of flammability.Therefore, in some embodiments, the oxygen that ternary gas mixture contains at least 25 volume %, as the oxygen of at least 28 volume %.In certain embodiments, the oxygen that ternary gas mixture contains 25-32 volume %, as the oxygen of 26-30 volume %.
the preparation of methane-containing gas
As one of ordinary skill in the art can understand, the source of methane may be different, and possible Cong Ru garbage loading embeading district, farm, in renewable raw materials from the biogas fermenting, obtain, or from as Sweet natural gas, oil field gas, in the fossil oil of coal gas and gas hydrate, obtain, as VN Parmon, " Source of Methane for Sustainable Development ", P.273-284 with Derouane chief editor's Sustainable Strategies for the Upgranding of Natural Gas:Fundamentals, Challenges, and Opportunities(2003) in, describe further.For the purpose of this utility model, the consistent composition in the purity of methane and the source of containing methane is very important.
As a kind of source of the methane for methane-containing gas, Sweet natural gas is a kind of not pure state of methane.That is to say, Sweet natural gas be a kind of can be to be in fact used to the methane-containing gas that HCN for producing in technique of the present utility model provides carbon atom.But, except methane, in Sweet natural gas, may contain impurity, as hydrogen sulfide, carbonic acid gas, nitrogen, water, and the hydrocarbon of high molecular, as ethane, propane, butane, pentane and more senior hydrocarbon.Here, the hydrocarbon of these high components is called as " C2+ hydrocarbon ".Can make in all sorts of ways and from Sweet natural gas, remove C2+ hydrocarbon, comprise hydrocarbon partition method.Hydrocarbon partition method can be implemented by absorption method or low-temperature expansion method.Absorption process can be mainly used in removing C3+ hydrocarbon, and low-temperature expansion method can be mainly used in removing ethane, also can remove C3+ hydrocarbon simultaneously.
The gas composition of different sources has significant difference.The composition of the Sweet natural gas providing by pipeline also can be in time passing or even under very short time span, alter a great deal because source is by pipeline opening and closing.The amount of this difference of composition, the particularly existence of C2+ hydrocarbon and C2+ hydrocarbon, has caused being difficult to maintaining best and stable processing performance.The existence of the C2+ hydrocarbon in gas composition is because following reason is particularly troublesome: 1) its calorific value higher than methane; 2) its inactivating effect to HCN catalyst reactor, particularly C3+ hydrocarbon; 3) may form senior nitrile as the side reaction of acetonitrile, vinyl cyanide and propionitrile.Because the oxygen coalescence by oxygen-containing gas makes inertia load reduction, so HCN building-up process is aggravated the susceptibility of the variation of a large amount of C2+ hydrocarbon thereupon.
Therefore, methane-containing gas can be processed into and comprise the C2+ hydrocarbon that is less than 1 volume %, as is less than 5000mpm, is less than 1000mpm, is less than 150mpm or there is no in fact C2+ hydrocarbon." there is no in fact C2+ hydrocarbon " and comprises the C2+ hydrocarbon of 0-100mpm.Should also can be described as " Sweet natural gas of purifying " containing the logistics of methane.In some embodiments, containing on the logistics essence of methane, there is no impurity.In addition, the logistics that contains methane can be essentially anhydrous.
With the Sweet natural gas of purifying, to obtain methane-containing gas, produce HCN and can improve the life-span of catalyzer and the output of HCN.Particularly, utilize the natural gas stream of purifying to make remaining set compound be stabilized in same level, so that optimization downstream HCN's is synthetic, and by reduce large temperature departure in the synthesis step of HCN, to can use oxygen or the pure oxygen material of high enrichment, wherein said temperature departure is conventionally relevant with the variation of the content of higher hydrocarbon, and is (for example loss of catalyst breakage, interlocking and working hour) being harmful to for best output and operability.Use the Sweet natural gas of purifying also the formation of senior nitrile can be minimized, and the associated loss of yield of the HCN when removing nitrile is minimized.In addition, use the Sweet natural gas of purifying as the raw material of methane-containing gas, content by Stable Carbon and hydrogen and calorific value and the variability of charging is minimized, and thus by whole HCN synthesis technique equipment stabilization, thereby allow to determine and control best methane than oxygen with ammonia than the mol ratio of oxygen, for stable operation and more effective HCN output.In addition, use the Sweet natural gas of purifying relevant temperature peak value and the catalyst impairment causing can be minimized.
preparation containing ammonia gas
Before mixing with oxygen-containing gas and methane-containing gas, containing ammonia body source, can accept processing.This operation can comprise from removing impurity, Ru Shui, oil and iron (Fe) containing ammonia body source.Containing the impurity in ammonia gas, catalyst life be can reduce, low reaction yield and replacing more early caused.This operation can comprise use treatment facility, as vaporizer and strainer, so that the treated ammonia gas that contains to be provided.
For example, can in vaporizer, process the available liquefied ammonia of business, with the first liquid logistics that partially purified ammonia steam stream is provided and contains water, iron, iron granules and other non-volatile impurities.Useful ammonia separator, come the impurity and all liquid that in separated described partially purified ammonia steam stream, exist as ammonia mist eliminator, to make treated containing ammonia gas (pure in fact ammonia steam stream) and contain the second liquid logistics of carrying impurity and all liquid secretly being present in described partially purified ammonia steam stream.
In one embodiment, the first liquid logistics that contains water, iron, iron granules and other non-volatile impurities is passed into after-fractionating device, a part of liquid stream evaporation therein, generate the ammonia steam stream of second section purifying and the more concentrated second liquid logistics that contains water, iron, iron granules and other non-volatile impurities, it can be used as discharge opeing or waste stream is further processed.The ammonia steam stream of second section purifying can be passed into ammonia separator.In another embodiment, the more concentrated second liquid logistics that contains water, iron, iron granules and other non-volatile impurities is passed into the 3rd distiller, usings and reduced further its ammonia content before this logistics is processed as discharge opeing or waste stream.
Rising in distiller steeped oneself-meeting and limited the distillation rate of ammonia, and reduces the purity of the ammonia steam of producing.Conventionally, by directly in distiller or introduce defoamer stop foaming in distiller feed stream.Defoamer belongs to a large class of polymeric material and solution, and it can eliminate or significantly reduce the ability of liquid and/or the foaming of liquids and gases mixture.By reducing the surface tension of solution, the formation of foam in the liquid that defoamer has suppressed to stir.The example of defoamer comprises organosilicon, organophosphate and alcohols.In one embodiment, the defoamer of q.s is added containing in ammonia gas 132, with the concentration maintaining containing defoamer in ammonia gas 132, be about 2-20mpm.A non-limitative example of defoamer is Unichem of Hobbs, NM(New Mexico) UNICHEM7923 of manufacturing.Containing the processing of ammonia body source 130, also can comprise filter system, it is for removing particulate, to prevent the poisoning of catalyzer in reactor 152.Filter system can be single strainer or a plurality of strainer.
hCN reactor
The utility model also relates to reactor assembly 106, and described reactor assembly 106 is for the production of thick prussic acid product 107, the methane that described thick prussic acid product 107 comprises 0.05-1 volume %, as the methane that comprises 0.05-0.55 or 0.2-0.3 volume %.Reactor assembly 106 contains a hydrid component 155, and it introduces the ternary gas mixture 105 of mixing completely of reaction part 157 for introducing also hybrid reaction gas with formation.The catalyst bed 162 that reaction part 157 comprises at least one import 160 for ternary gas mixture 105, catalyzer supporting component 161, supported by catalyzer supporting component, and at least one outlet 163 of thick prussic acid product 107.As described here, controlling reactor efficiency is a variable controlling methane content in thick prussic acid product.
As described here, a method of control reactor efficiency is to provide catalyzer supporting component.As shown in Figure 2 A, catalyzer supporting component can be arranged to the lower surface 164 that essence is adjacent to catalyst bed 162, and is arranged to this catalyst bed 162 and relies on catalyzer supporting component and by catalyzer supporting component and support.Catalyzer supporting component comprise tool orifice plate (as, bulk or foamed ceramics) 170 and support 171, as ring support.Ring support 171 can stretch out with uniform distance from the inwall 165 of reaction part 157.Ring support 171 is along the circumference of reaction part 157.Tool orifice plate 170 can be with ring support 171 in same plane.Tool orifice plate 170 allows gas to pass through.Ring support 171 is solid and gas can not see through.Ring support 171 is parallel to catalyst bed 162 for essence, and contacts with reactor wall 165.In some embodiments, ring support 171 is comprised of pottery, and is the part of the whole of reactor.In some embodiments, ring support 171 consists of the material identical with reactor.Ring support 171 can be arranged to allow to exist by district, thereby contacts with catalyst bed and form thick prussic acid product with the thick prussic acid product that allows to be formed by ternary gas mixture.Described thick prussic acid product can contain the component of ternary gas mixture, such as methane, oxygen and/or ammonia.Describedly ventilative pass through district and can at least account for 85% of reactor cross-section area, as at least 90%, this depends on the catalyzer shrinkage of expectation and the HCN output of expectation.Scope by district can be 85-95%, as by 90% to 95%.For example, if the internal diameter of reactor is 137.16cm, and suppose that the diameter of passing catalyzer is in time contracted between 0.64cm-1.26cm, ring support 171 can extend 2.54cm to 3.18cm from reactor wall.To larger extension in reactor, can make to be reduced by least in 85% by district, and reduce productive rate.If catalyzer shrinks, exceed the estimates or move in reactor, with the large little annular wall by district that is greater than 95%, being faced with equally some problems.As a rule, contraction of catalyst can occur at least partly when starting, and state then remains retracted in reactor operation always.In addition, make support from reactor wall further extension can reduce the frequency that reactor closes to change catalyst bed, but also can increase reactor pressure decrease, cause reducing HCN output.
As shown in Figure 2 B, in the form of a simplification, because catalyzer has experienced contraction, the extensible catalyst bed 162 that surpasses of ring support 171.Along with the prolongation of catalyst life, catalyzer may shrink as shown in Figure 2 B, causes catalyst bed 162 no longer to contact with reactor wall 165.Contraction of catalyst can allow component (the comprising methane) by-pass flow of ternary gas mixture to cross described catalyzer, causes the methane content in thick prussic acid product to increase.By comprising ring support 171, the by-pass flow can reduce, essence reducing and/or eliminate this ternary gas mixture.
Reactor assembly 105 also can comprise spark arrester 180 in grid distributor 181 downstreams, be adjacent to the radiation shield 182 of catalyst bed 162.Reaction vessel 106 also can comprise the heat exchanger 183 for cooling thick prussic acid product, as waste heat boiler.Fire hole (not shown) is extensible by radiation shield 182, and lighter for ignition is contacted with the upper surface of catalyst bed 162.In embodiments more of the present utility model, can not use and need on radiation shield 182, establish other firing techniques in hole.Those skilled in the art can carry out with any currently known methods the igniting of catalyst bed.
