Definitions

  • the starting material for the production of melamine is mainly urea which decomposes first at temperatures > 350°C in accordance with reaction (1) into ammonia and isocyanic acid.
  • the formed isocyanic acid reacts further after equation (2) to melamine:
  • FIG 1 shows the principle of a catalytic low pressure process: Liquid urea (11) is converted to melamine in a fluidized-bed reactor (12) at 390 to 400°C.
  • fluidizing gas (14) either pure ammonia or the NH 3 /CO 2 -mixture formed during the reaction is used.
  • the process gas contains entrained catalyst fines which are not separated in the reactor cyclones.
  • the gas can be quenched with water as practiced in the DSM-process, line (15) in figure 1.
  • An aqueous suspension of melamine, higher molecular by-products , oxotriazines and catalyst dust is formed. From this suspension the melamine is obtained by re- solution, filtration of the insoluble compounds and recristallisation. Details to this process see Ullmann's Encyclopedia of Industrial Chemistry, Vol. A 16, page 176, (1990).
  • the melamine is desublimated by a gas-quench (18) and separated from the gas in the cyclone (19).
  • the nearly melamine-free gas from the cyclone (19) is cooled down by washing with li- quid urea in the washer (20) and recycled as cooling gas to the gas-quench (18) and as fluidizing gas to the reactor (12).
  • the surplus of the gas is treated in a separate off-gas unit
  • the present invention is directed to the low and medium pressure catalytic processes for producing melamine from urea wherein the melamine is pro- prised in a fluidized bed reactor and recovered from the process gas either by a water quench or by a gas quench.
  • Primary object of the present invention is to avoid the economical disadvantages of the above mentioned catalytic processes, especially of the DSM- and BASF- processes, by increasing the urea conversion, re-converting higher mo- lecular by-products to melamine and removing at the same time catalyst fines from the process gas.
  • the aforesaid and other objectives for this invention are surprisingly accomplished by the installation of a filter-reactor, which increases the conversion of the isocyanic acid according to equation (2), re-converts higher molecular by - products to melamine and which removes simultaneously the catalyst fines in the process gas.
  • the filter-reactor consists of one or more ring -reactors.
  • the individual ring-reactor consists of two concentric cylinders with perforated walls. The annular space between the two cylinders contains the catalyst.
  • Figure 2a shows schematically the structural principle of a ring-reactor as used as an element in a filter-reactor
  • figure 2b shows a top view of a filter- reactor (7) with four ring-reactors (2) inside.
  • the hot process gas from the fluidized bed reactor is directly fed at (1) to the filter-reactor (7) which may consist of one or more ring-reactors (2).
  • the process gas flows radial through the outer perforated wall (3) of the ring- reactors penetrates the catalyst bed (4) and leaves the ring-reactor through its inner wall which is perforated as well. From the central pipe or gas sampler (5) of the filter-reactor the gas flows to the melamine separation unit.
  • the individual ring-reactors are gastight fixed at the upper part (6) of the filter reactor and can be exchanged easily if necessary. To keep the reaction temperature in the filter reactor at the required level it is sufficient to insulate the outer walls of the filter-reactor because the conversion of the isocyanic acid to melamine according to equation (2) is an exothermic reaction.
  • filter-reactor (7) which is double-walled so that it can be heated by hot gases, for example.
  • Number and dimension of the individual ring-reactors within the filter-reactor are depending on the capacity and the conversion rate of the fluidized bed reactor and on the activity of the catalyst in the ring-reactor.
  • a length between 1000 and 4000 mm is recommended, although in special cases other dimensions may be optimal.
  • the outer diameter of the ring-reactor is chosen between 200 and 900 mm, the diameter of the inner cylinder should be in the range 150 to 300 mm. But here too other dimension can be used, for example, for process-technical reasons or physical conditions.
  • catalyst dust in the process gas is deposited only on the outer surface of the catalyst bed and can be easily removed by periodical back-flushing of the individual ring- reactors via valve (8) with hot ammonia, fluidizing gas or steam. Steam regeneration also removes organic deposits on the catalyst.
  • the catalyst dust can be discharged at the bottom of the filter-reactor.
  • the isocyanic acid still contained in the process gas, reacts to melamine according to equation (2). Melem and other higher condensed nitrogen com- pounds react on the catalyst with ammonia back to melamine, for example:
  • Suited catalyst for the filter-reactor are all catalysts used or known for the production of melamine, consisting of pure y - Al 2 0 3 , alumina - silicates with 10 to 90% SiO 2 , or pure SiO 2 .
  • catalysts which contains in a matrix of alumina silicate 20 to 80% molecular sieves with a mean pore size diameter above 6 Angstrom are all catalysts used or known for the production of melamine, consisting of pure y - Al 2 0 3 , alumina - silicates with 10 to 90% SiO 2 , or pure SiO 2 .
  • catalysts which contains in a matrix of alumina silicate 20 to 80% molecular sieves with a mean pore size diameter above 6 Angstrom are examples of alumina silicate 20 to 80% molecular sieves with a mean pore size diameter above 6 Angstrom.
  • the catalysts in the filter-reactor can have the same chemical composition as the catalyst in the main reactor. But it is also possible to use quite different catalysts with respect to chemical composition, acidity or surface area in the filter-reactor, because in the filter-reactor only the reaction of isocyanic acid to melamine and the re-conversion of the higher molecular nitrogen compounds to melamine must be catalysed.
  • the fluidized-bed main reactor contains a catalyst of pure alumina, it can be advantageous to use silica-alumina catalyst in the filter- reactor.
  • the filter-reactor can be operated at the same pressure as the fluidizing- bed main reactor or it can be run at a lower pressure.
  • Example 1 With the following examples and figure 3 a preferred embodiment of the process is described in more detail.
  • Example 1
  • urea is decomposed at 400°C and 3 bar.
  • the catalyst consists of pure Y - alumina.
  • As fluidizing gas the reaction gas obtained at the formation of melamine from urea is used, a mixture of about 70 vol.% ammonia and 30 vol.% carbon dioxide.
  • the gas coming from the fluidized-bed reactor is directly fed to the filter-reactor (2).
  • the filter- reactor contains four ring-reactors (3), (for example only) with an outer diameter of 600 mm each and a length of 4000 mm.
  • Temperature and pressure in the filter-reactor is the same as in the fluidized- bed reactor.
  • a cyclone (5) may be installed between the fluidized-bed reactor and the filter-reactor.
  • Table 1 shows the gas composition before and after entering the filter-reactor (without inert components).
  • the process gas After leaving the filter - reactor the process gas can be cooled down to generate high-pressure steam in the cooler (4).
  • the extent of the cooling is limited by the partial pressure of the melamine in the gas after the filter reactor.

Abstract

L'invention concerne un procédé permettant d'accroître le rendement en mélamine, et d'améliorer la séparation des poussières dans la production de mélamine à partir d'urée au moyen de processus catalytiques en lit fluidisé. Ce procédé consiste à transférer le gaz de traitement du réacteur à lit fluidisé qui contient, outre la mélamine, de l'acide isocyanique non converti, du melam, du melem ou d'autres composés à masse moléculaire élevée, dans un réacteur filtrant formé d'un ou de plusieurs réacteurs annulaires remplis de catalyseurs, dans lesquels l'acide isocyanique qui n'a pas encore été converti est converti en mélamine, et les composés à masse moléculaire élevée, en particulier le melam et le melem, sont également reconvertis en mélamine par réaction avec l'ammoniac contenu dans le gaz de traitement, et les fines de catalyseur encore présentes dans le gaz de traitement du réacteur à lit fluidisé sont éliminées.
