Ammonia absorber

Ammonia is removed by a IM H2SO4 water solution scrubber the liquid solution entering from the top of the tower (a SCDS column settled as packed column mass transfer simulation model) is continuously fed by a make-up quantity corresponding to the amount needed for the ammonia removal. At the bottom of the column gaseous ammonia enters at T = 95°C, it dissolves into the acid solution, diffuses and rapidly reacts with the H+ ions via ammonia protonation following thermodynamics of electrolyte non-random two liquid (Electrolyte NRTL) approach. [Pg.258]

To run the SCDS column simulation, the number of stages and the packing height are required by ChemCAD software, hence the packed column height and the number of transfer units (NTU) have to be manually calculated. The packing height and the NTU are evaluated using the assumptions and parameters detailed below as reported by Westerterp et al. [54]  [Pg.258]

To evaluate the packaging height, the mass balance along the infinitesimal column height needs to be written, allowing to study the differential variation of ammonia concentration neglecting longitudinal dispersion it can be written as  [Pg.258]

Assuming the resistance in mass transfer is only in the gas phase, we can assume  [Pg.258]

The obtained values (L and NTU) are inserted into CHEMCAD SCDS column window to run the simulation and can be adjusted if the software requires (i.e. recirculation does not converge). [Pg.259]


PHOTOLYSIS OF AMMONIA. Restricting the discussion to neutral species only (ionic ones require high energy, and are not important in the 170-220-nm UV range, where ammonia absorbs strongly), the two low-energy reaction channels to ground state products are... [Pg.374]

Titration. The solution of ammonia absorbed in saturated boric acid may now be titrated as an alkali directly with 0 025 A.HCl (best obtained by dilution of commercially available standard A.HCl in a graduated flask). Three drops of indicator (mixed methyl-red/methyl-ene-blue being most satisfactory) are added to the liquid in the receiver and the 0 025 A.HCl run in from an accurate burette. [Pg.496]

Brine Preparation. Sodium chloride solutions are occasionally available naturally but they are more often obtained by solution mining of salt deposits. Raw, near-saturated brines containing low concentrations of impurities such as magnesium and calcium salts, are purified to prevent scaling of processing equipment and contamination of the product. Some brines also contain significant amounts of sulfates (see Chemicals FROMBRINe). Brine is usually purified by a lime—soda treatment where the magnesium is precipitated with milk of lime (Ca(OH)2) and the calcium precipitated with soda ash. After separation from the precipitated impurities, the brine is sent to the ammonia absorbers. [Pg.523]

This carbon dioxide-free solution is usually treated in an external, weU-agitated liming tank called a "prelimer." Then the ammonium chloride reacts with milk of lime and the resultant ammonia gas is vented back to the distiller. Hot calcium chloride solution, containing residual ammonia in the form of ammonium hydroxide, flows back to a lower section of the distiller. Low pressure steam sweeps practically all of the ammonia out of the limed solution. The final solution, known as "distiller waste," contains calcium chloride, unreacted sodium chloride, and excess lime. It is diluted by the condensed steam and the water in which the lime was conveyed to the reaction. Distiller waste also contains inert soHds brought in with the lime. In some plants, calcium chloride [10045-52-4], CaCl, is recovered from part of this solution. Close control of the distillation process is requited in order to thoroughly strip carbon dioxide, avoid waste of lime, and achieve nearly complete ammonia recovery. The hot (56°C) mixture of wet ammonia and carbon dioxide leaving the top of the distiller is cooled to remove water vapor before being sent back to the ammonia absorber. [Pg.523]

The gaseous ammonia is passed through electrostatic precipitators for particulate removal and mixed with the cooled gas stream. The combined stream flows to the ammonia absorber where the ammonia is recovered by reaction with a dilute solution of sulfuric acid to form ammonium sulfate. Ammonium sulfate precipitates as small crystals after the solution becomes saturated and is withdrawn as a slurry. The slurry is further processed in centrifuge faciHties for recovery. Crystal size can be increased by employing one of two processes (99), either low differential controUed crystallization or mechanical size enlargement by continuous compacting and granulation. [Pg.359]

The photolysis of N-methylborazine in the presence of ammonia produced B-amino-N-methylborazine. The major isomer in this reaction, e., the ortho isomer, was identified by labeling the ring nitrogens of N-methylborazine with N and observing the H NMR spectrum of the photolysis product Both N-methylborazine and ammonia absorb 184.9 mn radiation (q jh, = 12101 mole cm eHjB3N3H2 (CH3)... [Pg.22]

A detailed description of salt mining will be postponed until the next chapter, but it is important to note that soda ash is made from both limestone and salt, the two major raw materials. As outlined in Fig. 5.2, the brine (salt solution) is mixed with ammonia in a large ammonia absorber. A lime kiln, using technology similar to that discussed earlier, serves as the source of carbon dioxide, which is mixed with the salt and ammonia in carbonation towers to form ammonium bicarbonate and finally sodium bicarbonate and ammonium chloride. Filtration separates the less soluble sodium bicarbonate from the ammonium chloride in solution. [Pg.70]

In his memoir On the union of ammonia nitrate with ammonia (1873), E. Divers 21 showed that dry ammonium nitrate absorbs considerable quantities of ammonia gas, forming a colourless, mobile liquid whose composition changes with the temp, and press, at which the absorption occurs. The change may be likened to the deliquescence of a salt in moist air. The liquefaction occurs more rapidly if the absorption occurs at 0°. The soln. has been called Divers liquid, and it has the property of being able to dissolve more ammonium nitrate, and this the more the higher the temp., but the salt loses its power of absorbing ammonia as the temp, rises. P. M. Raoult measured the amount of ammonia absorbed by 100 grins, of the salt at a press, of 760 mm. and found ... [Pg.843]

The ammonia can be distilled into an excess of standard sulfuric acid, and the excess determined by back titration. Preferably, the distilled ammonia can be absorbed into a solution of boric acid or other weak acid. Direct titration of the boric acid distillate with standard acid, using bromophenol blue, with a blank determination gives excellent results. As a routine method for determining traces of nitrogen, Milner and Zahner distilled the ammonia into a dilute boric acid solution. Urban suggested an aqueous solution of p-hydroxybenzoic acid (ionization constant 2.9 X 10 ) as an ammonia-absorbing solution. [Pg.115]

Data regarding excretion of ammonia absorbed following dermal exposure were not located in the available literature. [Pg.94]

The Henry s law constant for ammonia was computed from experimental data using the equation Pnhj = HxHjatNHs and assuming all of the ammonia absorbed to be present as NH3.)... [Pg.761]
