Hydrogen mineral processing

Hydrogen Cyanide Process. This process, one of two used for the industrial production of malonates, is based on hydrogen cyanide [74-90-8] and chloroacetic acid [79-11-8]. The intermediate cyanoacetic acid [372-09-8] is esterified in the presence of a large excess of mineral acid and alcohol.

Two main operational variables that differentiate the flotation of finely dispersed coUoids and precipitates in water treatment from the flotation of minerals is the need for quiescent pulp conditions (low turbulence) and the need for very fine bubble sizes in the former. This is accompHshed by the use of electroflotation and dissolved air flotation instead of mechanically generated bubbles which is common in mineral flotation practice. Electroflotation is a technique where fine gas bubbles (hydrogen and oxygen) are generated in the pulp by the appHcation of electricity to electrodes. These very fine bubbles are more suited to the flotation of very fine particles encountered in water treatment. Its industrial usage is not widespread. Dissolved air flotation is similar to vacuum flotation. Air-saturated slurries are subjected to vacuum for the generation of bubbles. The process finds limited appHcation in water treatment and in paper pulp effluent purification. The need to mn it batchwise renders it less versatile. 

A flow diagram of the solvent-refined coal or SRC process is shown ia Figure 12. Coal is pulverized and mixed with a solvent to form a slurry containing 25—35 wt % coal. The slurry is pressurized to ca 7 MPa (1000 psig), mixed with hydrogen, and heated to ca 425°C. The solution reactions are completed ia ca 20 min and the reaction product flashed to separate gases. The Hquid is filtered to remove the mineral residue (ash and undissolved coal) and fractionated to recover the solvent, which is recycled.
