Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for the purification of aqueous sulfuric acid obtained as waste acid in the nitration of aromatic compounds by reaction with ammonium ions of nitrogen-oxygen compounds contained therein as an impurity.
  • the content of this so-called waste acid is between about 20 and 96, in particular about 60 to 80 wt .-% H 2 S0 4 , depending on the concentration of sulfuric acid in the nitrating acid used and the amount of water of reaction during nitration per unit weight of nitrating acid, that is absorbed by the sulfuric acid.
  • the nitrogen-oxygen compounds contained therein are predominantly compounds of the empirical formula NO x , where x stands for the numbers 1, 1.5 or 2, ie the compounds NO, N 2 O 3 , N0 2 or N204 and acids corresponding to these compounds , nitrous acid (HNO 2 ) and nitrosylsulfuric acid (HSO 4 NO).
  • the main component is N0 2 , also in the form of nitrous acid and nitrosylsulfuric acid, which is already contained as N 2 0 4 in the highly concentrated nitric acid used for the nitration and is only partially implemented in the nitration in side reactions.
  • NO compounds already convert to NO 2 under the influence of atmospheric oxygen according to 2 NO + O 2 NO 2 + 27.1 Kcal.
  • Such waste acid can be used in various ways.
  • Raw phosphates can be broken down for the manufacture of fertilizers. This reaction and the mostly associated extraction of phosphoric acid usually takes place in the heat. This removes nitrogen oxides that escape with the exhaust air.
  • the waste acid can also be used to digest other minerals or ores, e.g. of copper ores.
  • a process has now been found for the purification of aqueous sulfuric acid which contains nitrogen-oxygen compounds as impurities, which is characterized in that the sulfuric acid is prepared in the presence of ammonium sulfate or ammonium bisulfate which has been prepared from waste gases containing ammonia or from leaching liquor. treated at temperatures of 30-300 ° C.
  • the reaction temperature in the reaction according to the invention is approximately in the range from 30 to 300.degree. C., preferably at temperatures between 70 and 200.degree. C., in particular between 100 and 150.degree.
  • the starting sulfuric acid is an aqueous sulfuric acid which is recovered as so-called waste acid in the nitration of aromatic compounds, in particular benzene, toluene or xylene with a mixture of oleum and / or sulfuric acid and highly concentrated nitric acid has an H 2 S0 4 content of approximately 20 to 96% by weight, preferably 20 to 89% by weight, particularly preferably approximately 60 to 80% by weight.
  • ammonium sulfate or ammonium hydrogen sulfate which is in the form of an aqueous solution with about 10 to about 60% by weight, in particular about 38 to 42% by weight, as waste liquor in many organic reactions using concentrated sulfuric acid or oleum by neutralizing the during or after the reaction of the inevitably obtained aqueous sulfuric acid is obtained by neutralization with ammonia
  • saturated ammonium sulfate or ammonium hydrogen sulfate solution is obtained at the corresponding temperature, and thereby exploits its salting-out effect with respect to the organic reaction products.
  • leaching is e.g. obtained in the production of cyclohexanone oxime from cyclohexanone and hydroxylamine sulfate and in the production of caprolactam by rearrangement of cyclohexanone oxime in oleum.
  • ammonium sulfate or ammonium hydrogen sulfate solutions can inevitably be obtained, e.g. also by neutralizing aqueous ammonia solutions with sulfuric acid or by treating ammonia-containing exhaust gases with sulfuric acid.
  • the amount of the ammonium ions to be used in the process according to the invention depends on the content of nitrogen-oxygen compounds in the sulfuric acid.
  • the reaction of the nitrogen-oxygen compounds with ammonium ions is determined by a series of equilibria and reactions between them and with water and oxygen, in which nitrous acid and nitric acid also occur as intermediates (Hofmann & Hofmann, Anorganische Chemie, 11th edition (1945) , Page 103).
  • the stoichiometrically necessary amount in the inventive method according to the simplified reaction equation calculated that is, per mole of nitrogen-oxygen compounds, determined by analysis according to the lung as NO, 1 g equivalent of ammonium ions is understood as the stoichiometrically required amount.
  • the determination of the nitrogen-oxygen compounds as NO according to the lung which is necessary to determine the stoichiometrically required amount of ammonium ions, is a known analytical method.
  • the aqueous sulfuric acid to be purified is mixed with the amount of ammonium ions chosen in accordance with the content of nitrogen-oxygen compounds
  • ammonium bisulfate and / or ammonium sulfate in the form of ammonium bisulfate and / or ammonium sulfate in bulk or in aqueous solution, in particular the above-described forcible solutions (waste solutions) and heats up to the reaction temperature for a certain time.
  • reaction time necessary for the complete conversion of the nitrogen-oxygen compounds depends on the selected amount of ammonium ions and the reaction temperature; in general, the greater their excess and the higher the temperature, the shorter the reaction time.
  • the implementation according to the invention can be advantageous to be carried out at the reaction temperature only when, for other reasons, the sulfuric acid to be purified has to be heated or is being heated.
  • a waste acid mixed with the appropriate amount of ammonium ions e.g. for the production of fertilizers and / or the production of phosphoric acid by digestion of crude phosphates with this waste acid or concentrate according to the so-called Plinke process without heating them separately beforehand.
  • the reaction according to the invention at the reaction temperature then takes place either during an exothermic reaction with self-heating or during the heating by supplied heat.
  • the sulfuric acid purified by the process according to the invention is subsequently largely colorless and water-clear, while e.g. Waste acid from benzene nitration has a dark red-brown color.
  • the content of nitrogen-oxygen compounds (NO x ) is 0.108% by weight or 0.292 mmol calculated as NO.
  • the NO x determination according to a) gave 0.04% by weight of NO in the treated acid.
  • the analysis according to a) of the heated acid showed 0.00% by weight of NO.
  • the NO determination of the treated waste acid after lung was 0.119% by weight NO.
  • the content of NO 2 compounds was determined to be 0.132% by weight or 0.354 mmol NO in nash lung in 5 ml of a 90% by weight waste sulfuric acid.
  • the NO x determination gave 0.02% by weight of NO after heating the acid to the lungs.
