Patent GB-191301851-A (GB)
Title: A New or Improved Process and Apparatus for Obtaining a Useful Bye-product from Gas Manufacture and for the Recovery or Utilisation of Ammonia from Gas Manufacture.
Inventor: LYMN ARTHUR HENRY
IPC: C01C1/24
Filed: 1913-01-22
Granted: 1914-01-22
Abstract: 1851. Lynin, A. H. Jan. 22. Ammonium nitrate and nitrite.-The ammonia of combustible gases is brought into contact with nitrogen oxides or oxyacids obtained by the combustion with nitrogen and oxygen of the gases from which the ammonia has been removed. The combustion of the gases may be effected under pressure or in any suitable way, and the reaction of the nitrogen oxides on the ammonia may be effected either before or after they and the ammonia have been washed out of their respective gases. Each separate apparatus may be of any suitable kind, the combination being claimed. When two or more types of gas plants are working in combination, for instance when producer-gas is used to heat retorts or ovens for making illuminating or coke-oven gas; or where such plants are working beside each other, the nitrogen acids produced from the one kind of gas may be used to absorb the ammonia contained in or recovered from the other kind of gas, and the ammonium nitrate or nitrite solution when obtained may be used to wash the nitrogen oxides from the gas that has been burned. In treating producer-gas, the gas from the producer or superheater, after removal of dust, is passed while hot into the ammonium nitrate or nitrite liquor, into which nitrogen oxides or oxyacids from the burnt gas is also introduced, or the liquor may be used to wash the burnt gas. The ammonia-free producer-gas is then washed and cooled for the removal of tar, and a part is used for the production of nitrogen acids, the rest being used for any desired purpose. Illuminating gas may be similarly treated either before or after purification.
