Methane diagram

A flow diagram for the system is shown in Figure 5. Feed gas is dried, and ammonia and sulfur compounds are removed to prevent the irreversible buildup of insoluble salts in the system. Water and soHds formed by trace ammonia and sulfur compounds are removed in the solvent maintenance section (96). The pretreated carbon monoxide feed gas enters the absorber where it is selectively absorbed by a countercurrent flow of solvent to form a carbon monoxide complex with the active copper salt. The carbon monoxide-rich solution flows from the bottom of the absorber to a flash vessel where physically absorbed gas species such as hydrogen, nitrogen, and methane are removed. The solution is then sent to the stripper where the carbon monoxide is released from the complex by heating and pressure reduction to about 0.15 MPa (1.5 atm). The solvent is stripped of residual carbon monoxide, heat-exchanged with the stripper feed, and pumped to the top of the absorber to complete the cycle.

By applying these rules and recognizing the elements of symmetry present in the molecule, it is possible to construct MO diagrams for more complex molecules. In the succeeding paragraphs, the MO diagrams of methane and ethylene are constructed on the basis of these kinds of considerations.

A typical ethane cracker has several identical pyrolysis furnaces in which fresh ethane feed and recycled ethane are cracked with steam as a diluent. Figure 3-12 is a block diagram for ethylene from ethane. The outlet temperature is usually in the 800°C range. The furnace effluent is quenched in a heat exchanger and further cooled by direct contact in a water quench tower where steam is condensed and recycled to the pyrolysis furnace. After the cracked gas is treated to remove acid gases, hydrogen and methane are separated from the pyrolysis products in the demethanizer. The effluent is then treated to remove acetylene, and ethylene is separated from ethane and heavier in the ethylene fractionator. The bottom fraction is separated in the deethanizer into ethane and fraction. Ethane is then recycled to the pyrolysis furnace. 

Barrer s discussion4 of his analog of Eq. 28 merits some comment. Equation 28 expresses the equilibrium condition between ice and hydrate. As such it is valid for all equilibria in which the two phases coexist and not only for univariant equilibria corresponding with a P—7" line in the phase diagram. (It holds, for instance, in the entire ice-hydratell-gas region of the ternary system water-methane-propane considered in Section III.C.(2).) In addition to Eq. 28 one has Clapeyron s equation... 

If the critical temperature of the solute is below room temperature, the phase diagram is similar to the one described for the system hydroquinone-argon. No temperature can then be indicated above which hydrates cannot exist. This situation arises for the following solutes argon,48 krypton,48 xenon,48 methane,3 and ethylene.10...

A thermal plasma system has been developed for the decomposition of methane. A schematic diagram of the experimental apparatus is shown in Fig. 1. The system consists primarily of D.C. plasma torch, plasma reactor and filter assembly. Plasma was discharged between a tungsten cathode and a copper anode using N2 gas. All the experiments were carried out at atmospheric pressure at 6 kW input electric power and N2 flow rate of 10 to 12 1/min. The feed gas (CH4) flow rates were varied from 3 to 15 1/min depending on the operating conditions, shown in Table. 1.

Data for the hydrogen sulfide-water and the methane-n-hexane binary systems were considered. The first is a type III system in the binary phase diagram classification scheme of van Konynenburg and Scott. Experimental data from Selleck et al. (1952) were used. Carroll and Mather (1989a b) presented a new interpretation of these data and also new three phase data. In this work, only those VLE data from Selleck et al. (1952) that are consistent with the new data were used. Data for the methane-n-hexane system are available from Poston and McKetta (1966) and Lin et al. (1977). This is a type V system.
