Abstract
A gas purification process with a dilute ammonia solution wherein gaseous ammonia is incorporated in coal gas, producer gas, water gas, oil gas or the like in an amount of at least one mole per mole of the sum of hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide contained in said gas, and the resulting gas is contacted in a counter-current manner with an absorbing solution having an ammonia concentration not exceeding 7 g/l to thereby absorb hydrogen cyanide in said absorbing solution.
Claims6
A gas purification process comprising contacting a gas to be purified containing hydrogen cyanide, ammonia and hydrogen sulfide with an aqueous ammonia absorbing solution to absorb hydrogen cyanide from the gas, said process being characterized in that (1) gaseous ammonia is present in the gas prior to the contact with the absorbing solution, (2) the amount of gaseous ammonia present in the gas is at least 1 mole per mole of the sum of hydrogen cyanide and hydrogen sulfide in the gas, (3) the gas is contacted with the absorbing solution in a counter-current manner, and (4) the ammonia concentration in the absorbing solution is not higher than 7 g/l.
