Regarding the issue of alcohol alkylation
Thread Content
In the alcohol hydrocarbonation process, what impact does a high alcohol content in the fresh gas fed to the ammonia synthesis have on the ammonia synthesis tower?
Methanol is an oxide compound that can poison ammonia synthesis catalysts; mild poisoning leads to a decrease in catalyst activity and a shortened lifespan during the production process. Measures should be taken to control it.
Methanol reacts with the catalyst in the synthesis tower, reducing its activity; similar to CO and CO2, it also poisons the catalyst
