Alcohol hydrocarbonation process in ammonia synthesis plants
Thread Content
I have just started working with the synthetic ammonia-alcohol hydrocarbonation technology; could that senior colleague help me by providing information on the hydrocarbonation process and its operating procedures? Thank you! This post was last edited by yunanshu on 2008-3-2 10:43]
Alcohol hydrocarbonation technology, also known as the alcohol coupling technology, is widely used in the modification of small-scale fertilizer production. It involves the organic combination of synthetic ammonia and methanol; the operating procedures are self-evident!
The main difference between alcohol hydrocarbonation and the diol or dimethyl process is that the hydrocarbonation reaction using CO and CO2 (to produce fusel oils and methane) replaces the methanation reaction, thereby reducing methane production, helping to lower consumption, and yielding a small amount of combustible liquid as a by-product； The downside is that ammonia cooling must be added to completely separate the fusel oils. This process was proposed by Hunan Anchun Company; they came to our company to introduce it, and it is suitable for the renovation of small and medium-sized nitrogen fertilizer plants. For specific details, you can visit the company’s website or contact them directly.
It is recommended that the poster search previous forum posts before posting in the future. There were very lively discussions in previous posts about alcohol alkylation and alcohol alkane formation; those posts can be checked out if you want to know more – everything you’re looking for is there
