ICC - Process Overview Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-overview/265-A.jpg
ICC - Process Overview Text: <h6>Product</h6> <p><b>Hydrogen Cyanide</b>. Hydrogen cyanide is a volatile, flammable and highly toxic gas in temperatures above 25 ºC. Otherwise, it is a dangerous transparent liquid; its storage and transport are prohibited in certain locations. HCN’s range of applications includes its use as an intermediate in the production of sodium or potassium cyanide. It may also be used as a disinfectant for plague-infected ships and houses. HCN is obtained in industrial plants by the endothermic reaction between ammonia and natural gas (methane) using a platinum-rhodium catalyst. Such plants are necessarily integrated to consumer facilities.</p> <h6>Raw Materials</h6> <p><b>Chemicals</b>. </p> <b>Ammonia</b>. Ammonia (NH3) is one of the most produced synthetic chemicals worldwide. The main application of this world class commodity is in nitrogen fertilizers, followed by the synthesis of nitric acid. It is also used, to a lesser extent, in several other applications such as pulping of wood and as ingredient in household cleaners and drugs. Ammonia is produced basically by the reaction between nitrogen and hydrogen, in a 1:3 stoichiometric ratio. Its production routes are related to the source of the hydrogen used, being steam reforming the main one.</p> <b>Natural Gas</b>. Natural gas is a naturally occurring mixture of hydrocarbon found in porous subsurface geologic formations. It is composed mainly of methane, but also contains varying amounts of higher hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane. Additionally, natural gas may also include non-hydrocarbon components considered impurities such as nitrogen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen sulfide. Natural gas is primarily used as a source of heat energy for residential, commercial, and industrial applications. It may also be used in the production of important chemicals such as ammonia, methanol, and hydrogen. </p>
ICC - Process Schematic Image: //cdn.intratec.us/images/icc/process-schematics/265-A.jpg
ICC - Process Schematic Text: <p>The process under analysis comprises three major sections: (1) Reaction; (2) Ammonia recovery; and (3) Product purification.</p><p>Reaction. Natural gas, ammonia and air are fed to the reactor, where HCN is formed through a catalytic reaction. The product stream, containing HCN and unreacted ammonia, must be cooled down to avoid HCN decomposition. This is accomplished in a waste-heat boiler located below the reactor, generating enough steam for the process and providing a surplus.</p><p>Ammonia recovery. The product stream is fed to the bottom of the ammonia absorber, where an aqueous phosphate solution is used to absorb ammonia. The overhead stream from this column, which contains mainly HCN, is sent to the purification section. The bottoms, containing ammonia and a small amount of HCN, are sent to the first HCN stripper. In this column, HCN is separated in the overheads and recycled to the ammonia absorber, while the bottoms stream is fed to the top of the ammonia stripper. In the ammonium stripper, the phosphate is separated and recycled to the top of the ammonia absorber, while ammonia free of phosphate is directed to the ammonia fractionator, where it is concentrated and then recycled to the reaction section.</p><p>Product purification. The HCN containing stream is fed to the HCN absorber, where HCN is absorbed in cold water. The overhead vent gas is incinerated, since it can still contain some HCN. The bottoms stream from the HCN absorber is directed to the second HCN stripper where the product is separated from water, and then purified in the HCN fractionator to obtain 99.5% HCN product.</p><p></p>
