Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for the preparation of hydrogen cyanide by catalytic dehydration of gaseous formamide in at least one main reactor and a downstream post-reactor and the use of a post-reactor in a process for the production of hydrogen cyanide by catalytic dehydration of gaseous formamide.
- Hydrocyanic acid is an important basic chemical used as a starting material in, for example, numerous organic syntheses, such as the production of adiponitrile, methacrylic acid esters, methionine and complexing agents (NTA, EDTA).
- organic syntheses such as the production of adiponitrile, methacrylic acid esters, methionine and complexing agents (NTA, EDTA).
- NTA methacrylic acid esters
- EDTA complexing agents
- alkali cyanides used in the mining and metallurgical industries.
- Ammonia is washed out with sulfuric acid from the raw gas. Due to the high selectivity, however, only very little ammonium sulfate is produced.
- the ammonia formed catalyzes the polymerization of the desired hydrocyanic acid and thus leads to an impairment of the quality of the hydrocyanic acid and a reduction in the yield of the desired hydrocyanic acid.
- the polymerization of hydrocyanic acid and the associated soot formation can be suppressed by the addition of small amounts of oxygen in the form of air, as disclosed in EP-A-0 209 039.
- EP-A-0 209 039 discloses a process for the thermolytic cleavage of formamide on highly sintered alumina or alumina-silica moldings or on high-temperature corrosion-resistant chromium-nickel-stainless steel moldings. According to the examples in EP-A-0 209 039, conversions of 97.5% to 98.6% and selectivities of 94.8% to 96.7% are achieved.
- the prior art discloses further processes for the production of hydrogen cyanide by catalytic dehydration of formamide.
- WO 2004/050582 relates to a process for the preparation of hydrocyanic acid by catalytic dehydration of gaseous formamide, in a reactor having an inner reactor surface made of a steel containing iron and chromium and nickel, wherein the reactor preferably contains no additional internals and / or catalysts ,
- the selectivity of blue acids is between 90 and 98.5% and formamide conversions between 70 and 97%.
- WO 2006/027176 a process for the production of hydrogen cyanide by catalytic dehydration of gaseous formamide is disclosed in which from the product mixture upon dehydration a formamide-receiving reflux is recovered and recycled to the dehydration, wherein the formamide-containing recycle stream 5 to 50 wt. - contains% water.
