Purgatives Subject

There has been an increasing interest in utilising off-gas technology to produce ammonia. A number of ammonia plants have been built that use methanol plant purge gas, which consists typically of 80% hydrogen. A 1250 t/d methanol plant can supply a sufficient amount of purge gas to produce 544 t/d of ammonia. The purge gas is first subjected to a number of purification steps prior to the ammonia synthesis. 

The comparison made in Section 6.1 demonstrates the important effect the amount of purge has on the performance of the carbon canister in terms of limiting the amoimt of HC release. This effect is also shown in the data presented in Fig. 21. In this example, the vehicle has been subjected to the same test cycle sequence as before, but in this case two different levels of purging are examined. Also, a two liter canister is used on the vehicle for the testing at both purge levels, in order to see the effect of purge level on a single canister volume. 

Existing installations may be tested with fuel gas or inert gas. Air may also be used subject to correct purging procedures. 

The loss of expensive catalyst from the reactor system can be fatal for any process. Physical loss involves the removal of active catalyst from the closed loop of the process. This can include the plating out of metal or oxides on the internal surfaces of the manufacturing plant, failure to recover potentially active catalyst from purge streams and the decomposition of active catalyst by the process of product recovery. The first two can be alleviated to some extent by improvements in catalyst or process design, the last is an intrinsic problem for all manufacturing operations and is the subject of this book. 

In general, zero-headspace procedures are employed when the concentrations of volatiles in the soil are relatively low, and solvent extraction methods are used for more polluted soils. Irrespective of which procedure is used, quantitation of volatiles in soil is subject to serious errors if sufficient care is not taken with the sampling operation. Although direct purge-and-trap methods are frequently advocated for the determination of volatiles in samples collected by zero-headspace procedures, there are certain problems associated with this technique. Caution is advised since the procedure really collects only that fraction of the volatile that exists in a free form within the soil pore spaces or is at least in a facile equilibrium with this fraction. 

This reaction is difficult to avoid, but it can be minimized by working with these melts at the lowest practical temperature. Some authors suggest purging the melt with 02 or N02 in order to oxidize the N02 to NOj, but these procedures may lead to the production of still more impurities such as hydroxide, superoxide, and hydrogen ion [39]. By far, the best strategy is to use the highest quality starting materials available and to subject these materials to careful recrystallization before... 

Part of the time during the exhaust period, gas actually flows simultaneously toward both ends of the bed (curve 3) from a pressure maximum. As the exhaust period continues, the pressure maximum both declines and moves toward the product end, so that near the end of the exhaust period the maximum is essentially at the product end. Thus, all parts of the bed ultimately are subjected to the reverse flow necessary to purge adsorbed nitrogen. The fact that the purge gas for regenerating the adsorbent comes from the bed itself constitutes a major difference between this process and PSA, in which purge gas comes primarily from another bed.
