Definitions
- the present invention relates to a process for carrying out endothermic reactions at high temperatures, wherein energy is transferred by a gaseous medium 111 a manner such that by energy supplied the molecules of the gase one medium are split into atoms and the energy set free upon recombination of said atoms to molecules is used to elfect the endothermic reactions.
- the starting material used is only partially reacted; a great amount of olefins is always obtained. Further more, practically pure oxygen is necessary to produce the gaseous heating medium, since when using air only insufliciently high temperatures are attained, or a too diluted acetylene gas is formed. Still further, the yield is reduced by secondary reactions of the combustion products which react, among others, with the starting material and the resultant acetylene and form carbon monoxide and hydrogen.
- Version (c) is used, for example, in electric arc methods conducted on an industrial scale. If, however, such method is applied to hydrocarbons, their conversion is only about 50 percent. Besides, the separation of the non-reacted hydrocarbon from the hydrogen and the repeated expenditure of energy for once more heating up said non-reacted hydrocarbon involve further expenses. Furthermore, diacetylene and soot are formed and, finally, these processes are restricted to the use of hydrocarbons with a small number of carbon atoms.
- the present invention is based on the observation th the dis-advantages involved in the processes known f carrying out endothermic reactions can be prevented 1 using a process wherein, for the transfer of energy, least one gas, such as hydrogen and/ or nitrogen, caused to participate in the reaction by heating it so th part or all its molecules are thermally split into atorr the gas so formed-containing free atomsis caused act outside the heating zone upon the other reactant 1 reactants, and the reacted mixture is chilled.
- the energy set free upc recombination of the atoms to molecules is used to can out the endothermic reactions.
- the term recombin tion as used herein means the re-formation of neutr molecules from atoms.
- Suc reactions are, for example, the preparation of unsatt rated organic compounds which, on the one hand, cor tain at least one triple bond and at most 2 carbon atom and, on the other hand, contain at most two atoms 0 at least one element selected from the group consistin of hydrogen and nitrogen, such as acetylene (HCECH) hydrogen cyanide (HCEN), and dicyane (GEN);
- HECH acetylene
- HCEN hydrogen cyanide
- GEN dicyane
- ethylene For the production of the aforesaid unsaturated organi compounds from hydrocarbons or carbon, on the on hand, and hydrogen and/ or nitrogen, on the other hand generally about 0.05 to about 2 mols of hydrogen and/o nitrogen are used per 1 gram atom of carbon container in the starting material. If hydrocarbons are used a starting material for the manufacture of products con taining hydrogen, it is preferable to use about 0.1 tr about 1 mol of hydrogen or nitrogen per 1 gram atom 0. carbon contained in the hydrocarbon. If a pulverizet carbon-containing material, for example coal or coke i; used as starting material, it is advisable to use greater amounts of the gas, i.e.
- Sucl' carbon-content is about equal to the weight of the residue which is obtained after the carbon-containing start ing material has been degassed. To this end, it is possibls to use both degassed or undergassed coal. It is, however advisable to use a coal Which has almost been freed from humidity by drying it, for example, at a temperature 01 to C.
- equi-atornic quanaenra I I s i.e. to use 1 gram atom of hydrogen and/or 1 n atom of nitrogen per 1 gram atom of carbon.
- rs starting materials containing carbon there can be 1, for instance, saturated or unsaturated hydrocars containing up to 30 or more carbon atoms or pulvercarbon.
- carbon as used herein means kinds of carbon or coal such as lignite, coal, coke obed from coal or lignite, or charcoal. It is particuy advantageous to use saturated hydrocarbons, such nethane, ethane, propane, butane, pentane, heptane, tne, decane or dodecane, especially in the form of usual liquid technical or commercial mixtures, for triple in the form of hydrocarbon oils.
- the hydrogen and/ or nitrogen can caused to act upon the liquid oils or liquid hydro- )OIIS, especially when these liquid compounds particiin the reaction in a finely divided form, for example a spray.
- unsaturated and/or branched hydrocarbons there can be used unsaturated and/or branched hydrocarbons.
- branched hydrocarbons there come into consideral, for example, isobutane, isooctane, isoheptane etc.
- unsaturated hydrocarbons there can be used with ad- .tage, for example, ethylene, propylene, butylene and )utylene. It is, however, also possible to use natural :tures of hydrocarbons of natural origin or those obled in industry; for example topped Kuwait oil may used.
- hydrogen and/ or nitror is used for the transfer of energy in a manner such t, by the supply of energy, the molecules of these es are split into atoms and the energy set free upon recombination of the atoms is used, outside the heatzone, to effect and to feed the endothermic reaction, for endothermically splitting the hydrocarbons or car- 1 bonds into carbon and for the formation of acetylene l/or hydrogen cyanide.
- the aforesaid .es participate in the reaction.
- Fhe process according to this invention is particularly table for use in the production of acetylene.
- the reaction proceeds as follows: hot hydrogen the lecules of which are partially or totally dissociated 3 atoms is caused to act upon carbon or, advantage- ;ly hydrocarbons, for instance, such as have been menned above. Contrary thereto, when solid carbon is reed with nitrogen, dicyane can be obtained. If, how- -.r, solid carbon is treated with .a mixture of partially totally dissociated hydrogen and nitrogen, or-more Iantageouslyhydrocarbons, for instance those menned above, are treated with hot nitrogen which has at st partially been split into atoms, it is possible to pro- :e hydrogen cyanide. In the production of hydrogen mide from nitrogen and aliphatic saturated hydrobons, it is possible to use, as hydrocarbon, for exampropane, for example 0.1 to 1 mol, especially 0.7 0.6 mol of propane, per 1 mol of nitrogen.
- carbon-containing starting materials for the process :ording to the invention aliphatic amines such as methyl .ine, ethyl amine, propyl amine, butyl amine, lauryl line, oleyl amine, ethylene-diamine, trimethylamine, di- :thylamine, tetramethylendiamine, hexamethylendian etc.
- aliphatic amines such as methyl .ine, ethyl amine, propyl amine, butyl amine, lauryl line, oleyl amine, ethylene-diamine, trimethylamine, di- :thylamine, tetramethylendiamine, hexamethylendian etc.
- the chilling of the reaction mixture generally, is per- ?med in a manner such that a liquid which practically does not react with the reacting or reacted components is injected into the reacted mixture.
- Water can, for example, be used as such liquid.
- the heat necessary to perform endothermic reactions is produced by the energy set free upon recombination of the gas atoms to molecules.
- the heat of reaction of the following reactions is made:
- the molecules are previously dissociated into atoms and recombined in the reaction chamber.
- the whole apparatus as well .as the feed pipes are made of or lined with refractory material, for example carbon, chamotte tiles, dynamidon tiles, chalk-dines tiles or magnesium silicate tiles.
- refractory material for example carbon, chamotte tiles, dynamidon tiles, chalk-dines tiles or magnesium silicate tiles.
- the numerals designate the following parts:
- the gas to be activated which .advantageously has been preheated to a temperature of about 1.900 C. enters the chamber 2 in which an angular momentum is imparted to the gas to be dissociated and then passes through a nozzle like aperture 3 into an electric are 4 formed between two carbon or metal electrodes or into another source of energy, for example a high frequency discharge, a glow discharge, or a quiet electric discharge, where the gas is split into atoms.
- the minimum velocity rate of the gas be above 400 meters per second, preferably more than 1000 meters per second.
- the electrodes consist, for example, of tungsten or carbon and the electric arc is for instance charged with about 35 kw.
- reaction chamber 7 which is somewhat conically enlarged in downward direction the reaction between the two components sets in after the most favorable temperature for the optimum conversion has been adjusted by the temperature of the preheated gases and a suitable choice of the corresponding current intensity and tension of the electric arc.
- a chilling agent for example water
- the nozzle-like distributor 8 is sprayed through the nozzle-like distributor 8, so that the reacted mixture ,which escapes at 9 is fairly rapidly cooled, for instance, to a temperature of about 100 C.
- these substances are blown in finely divided form, for instance as dust, into the reaction chamber through conduit 6 by means of a current of preferably non-atomic gases of equal kind.
- the process of this invention provides a better utilization of the hydrocarbon used as starting material and is not dependent on the use of hydrocarbons having a certain size of the molecules; furthermore, much lower costs are involved in concentrating the acetylene due to the absence of soot and diacetylene; no separation of methane from hydrogen and less expenditure of electric energy are necessary.
- EXAMPLE 1 Through the opening 1 of an arc furnace of 35 kw. 4 m? per hour of hydrogen, suitably preheated to 1000 C., are introduced in a tangential manner into chamber 2 in which an angular momentum. is imparted to the hydrogen. from said chamber the hydrogen passes through the nozzle 3 and enters the electric arc burning between the electrodes 4.
- the nozzle is suitably meas ured so that the hydrogen enters the area of the electric are at a rate of at least 400 m./sec., preferably about 1000 rn./sec.
- the now atomic hydrogen, at 5 strikes propane which is introduced at 6 at a rate of 4 m. per hour and has suitably been preheated to about 1000 C.
- reaction chamber 7 a temperature of 1200 to about 1600 C. prevails, which temperature is the most favorable one for the optimum conversion.
- the reaction products are 6 immediately cooled to about 100 C. by means of wa introduced through nozzle-like distributor -8 at a rate about 100 liters per hour.
- EXAMPLE 2 The process is carried out in the apparatus and un the conditions described in Example 1 with the exe tion, however, that, instead of propane, there are int **d, per hour, about 5 kilograms of a topped oil Kuwait origin (boiling at a temperature between i and 340C.) in the form of vapor and having a te perature of about 500 C.
- EXAMPLE 3 The process is carried out in the apparatus and un the same conditions as described in Example 1, with exception, however, that instead of propane there introduced, per hour, 4 kilograms of dodecane in form of vapor and having a temperature of about 5' C. There are obtained in the form of acetylene ab 80 percent of the carbon contained in the dodecane.
- EXAMPLE 4 EXAMPLE 5 The process is carried out under the same conditi as described in Example 1 with the exception, howe that instead of hydrogen, there are passed through electric are per hour 5 cubic meters of nitrogen 1 heated to a temperature of 1000 C. and split in electric are into atoms.
- the propane introduced a is used in a quantity of 3 cubic meters per hour.
- T1 are obtained in the form of hydrogren cyanide about percent of the carbon used in the form of propane 15 percent of the carbon used are obtained in the ft of acetylene. The remainder consists ahnost comple of methane.
