Description of the invention (1) Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. Description of the invention The present invention relates to the oxidation of ammonia. The oxidation of ammonia is widely used in the production of nitric acid to reduce hydrogenation. In the manufacture of _, the oxidation of air to nitrogen oxide, and in the production of hydrogen cyanide, ammonia and the first system (usually natural gas) The mixture was oxidized with air. In these two methods, the gas mixture is fed through a catalyst at a high temperature. Side reactions such as the formation of nitrogen or nitrous oxide are undesirable. Therefore, in addition to good activity, the catalyst must have good selectivity. The oxidation reaction is an exothermic reaction: When the heated gas mixture passes through the catalyst, the emulsification reaction proceeds with the release of heat, so that the temperature of the gas mixture and the catalyst rises until it reaches a steady state. The selectivity of the reaction depends on the catalyst temperature and any given operating conditions, i.e. gas composition, catalyst, catalyst life, flow rate, etc.-generally an optimum temperature. The catalyst temperature can be controlled by modification of one or more method variables, such as the temperature of the gas mixture preheating and / or the ratio of ammonia in the gas mixture. I have noticed that there is anyway—a significant temperature gradient exists in the catalyst ’and therefore not all catalysts operate under the optimal conditions desired. This temperature gradient component is generated by the heat radiation from the entrance side of the catalyst to the incoming gas mixture. This radiation effect is minimized in the present invention. Therefore, the present invention provides the oxidation of ammonia, which includes passing a mixture of preheated to high temperature gas and an oxygen-containing gas through at least one catalyst bed which is effective to make the atmosphere, wherein in order to make the catalyst temperature uniform, the gas mixture Will be equipped (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) d. -Π The paper size is quietly Λ 7 —---------------- Β7 V. Description of the invention (2) ~ ----- The perforated reflection network located on the A catalyst bed can effectively reflect the heat radiated from the entrance surface of the catalyst bed back to the catalyst bed. Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Central Sample Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. The catalyst can be a pin, if necessary, mixed with other recorded precious metals, and its shape is a sieve or mesh formed by metal wires. Alternatively, the catalyst may be a pellet-shaped extrudate or a fine-grained emulsified material, such as a composition containing oxidized words. For example, in CN-A-86 108 985, it has been proposed to use a lanthanum oxide / rhenium oxide / cobalt oxide composition, the general formula is Lai_xCexCo03 (where X is from 0 to 1) ', which is prepared by a specific coprecipitation method as | Oxidation Catalyst. Oxidation catalysts are preferred, containing at least one cobalt-containing mixed oxide phase and at least one element A selected from the rare earths and yttrium. The ratio of the cobalt and element A to each other is that the element A to atomic ratio is 0.8 to 1 Between 2 and especially between 1 · 0 and 12. It is preferable to use at least one element selected from the group consisting of yttrium, zinc, lanthanum, titanium, and scandium as a part or all of the element A. The element a may include a mixture of at least one variable element V v selected from ytterbium and erroneous, and at least one non-valence element v η selected from yttrium, and a non-valence rare earth element such as lanthanum or neodymium. In particular, the atomic ratio of the valence element V ν to the non-valence element V η is preferably between 0 and 1, especially between 0 and 0.3. Such an oxidation catalyst may be in a form in which the amount of oxygen is not stoichiometric. This can result from the valence of cobalt and any variable valence rare earth elements present in element A as part or all. In the method of the present invention, the radiation reflector is arranged upstream of the catalyst to reflect the heat radiated from the surface of the catalyst inlet back to the catalyst. In this way, the heat dissipation from the catalyst inlet surface will be minimized, so the catalyst temperature can be more uniform. The reflector is preferably a perforated flat plate arranged upstream of the catalyst. The holes should be of sufficient number and size, and the flow of gas mixture by the 俾 reflector _ -5- This paper size applies to the Fii " House Standard (CNS) Λ4 ^ ~ ^ οχ297 public trend ----- Λ7 426637 ________B7 _; __ V. Description of the invention (3) There is only insignificant impedance in the dynamic transmission, but on the other hand, it must only occupy a small area of the reflector, and a small amount of light shot will be reflected. The holes are preferably of the shutter type, and substantially all the area of the reflector can be used to reflect radiant heat. The reflector f can be used as a diffuser to ensure a uniform distribution of the gas mixture as it passes through the catalyst bed. The reflector is preferably placed between 1 and 30 cm above the top layer of the catalyst bed. The present invention will be explained with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein Fig. 1 is a sectional view of an ammoxidation reactor. Figure 2 shows another alternative arrangement. FIG. 1 shows a container 1 having an inlet 2 and an outlet 3. The catalyst beds 4, 5 arranged in the container's horizontal direction are each composed of a stacked network formed by platinum / rhodium alloy wires. Near the entrance bed 4 is placed a reflector plate 6 formed of a suitable heat-resistant metal such as a card alloy. A plurality of louver plates 7 are attached to the reflector plate 6. In use, a mixture of ammonia and air preheated to the desired inlet temperature is sent to the inlet 2. The mixture passes through the louver plate 7 in the reflector plate, and then through the catalyst beds 4 and 5. Oxidation of ammonia occurs with the release of heat. The temperature of both the catalyst bed and the gas mixture will therefore increase. The reacted gas then leaves the reactor via outlet 3. Under steady state operation, the temperature of the catalyst bed 5 and the reacted gas are substantially the same. Similarly, the temperature of most of the thickness of the catalyst bed 4 is the same as the temperature of the reacted gas mixture. However, heat is easily dissipated from the inlet, i.e., the upper surface of the catalyst bed 4, via radiation to the incoming gas stream. A considerable portion of this radiant heat will be reflected back to the catalyst bed 4 by the reflector plate 6, thus reducing the temperature difference between the mouth portion of the catalyst bed and the rest of the catalyst bed. In this way, the catalyst bed -6-k scales are applicable __China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X 297 total) " —-^ ---; ----- J equipment ---- --Order V '(Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Central Standards Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the Central Consumers' Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, printed by the Consumer Cooperatives 426637 Λ.7 ____________ B7 Note (4) " The degree of clarity is more uniform, which can make the optimal selectivity of the selected reaction conditions. An alternative arrangement is shown in Figure 2. Here the reflector is composed of a pair of metal plates § 9, one separated on the other I. Each plate has holes to allow the reactants to pass through the plates, but the holes are staggered, so the radiation from the catalyst bed, the heat passing through the holes of the lower plate will be reflected back by the lower surface of the upper plate. In some cases, it may be necessary to provide a thermal insulation layer on the upper surface of the reflector, i.e., the surface away from the catalyst bed, to minimize heat loss from the upper surface of the reflector. In the oxidation of ammonia to produce nitric oxide to produce nitric acid, the oxidation process can be performed at a temperature of 800 to 1000 ° C, especially 850 to 950 ° C and an absolute pressure of 1 to 15 bar. To 1 5. /. , Usually about 10% volume operation. Selectivity will increase with increasing spatial velocity, so a high spatial velocity greater than 1.5 x 105 per hour is appropriate. The space velocity is determined by the linear velocity of the feed gas (at normal temperature and pressure) and the depth of the catalyst bed. The linear gas velocity commonly used in commercial atmospheric pressure ammoxidation processes usually exceeds 2000 meters per hour, and is generally preferably between 2500 meters and 8000 meters per hour, and in the range of 4000 meters to 6000 meters per hour. Commercial processes operating at higher pressures use fairly high linear gas velocities, such as 30,000 to 40,000 meters per hour. For economic reasons, the bed thickness should be less than 50 mm. For example, for a bed with a depth of 20 mm, at a linear gas velocity of 4,000 meters per hour, the space velocity is 2 x 105.
