What considerations are needed when designing a process that involves acetylene in the reaction?
Thread Content
Mainly for safety reasons; the recovery of acetylene exhaust gases is not considered for now!
Which part of the process are you referring to? Is it a system or a device?
First, be careful to prevent explosions, and keep the pressure from being too high: handshake
For the equipment and pipelines used for transporting and storing acetylene, as well as valves and similar components, there are certain materials that cannot be used. You need to check this carefully; for example, materials that can form copper acetylide or silver acetylide are all explosive substances
Systems in which acetylene gas participates in the reaction! :hug:
For safety reasons, the entire system must be kept away from contact with copper and silver. Also, pay attention to ventilation.
Taking the hydrogenation of C2 olefins as an example, runaway temperature is the greatest danger, as once the temperature rises, it cannot be brought back down. Remember the three-stage reaction: there are heat removal exchangers between stages to control the inlet temperature of each stage, with interlock based on the bed temperature, using the value from 24 out of 2.
