AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing technologies are difficult to remove nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and nitrous oxide efficiently and economically during nitration, and the catalyst is easily poisoned by hydrogen cyanide, resulting in high treatment costs and low efficiency.

Method used

Nitric oxide is oxidized to nitrogen dioxide by adding oxygen-containing gas to the exhaust gas stream. The nitrogen oxide-deficient gas stream is then washed with water. Subsequently, nitrous oxide is converted into nitrogen and carbon dioxide in the presence of a nitrous oxide reduction catalyst and hydrogen cyanide. Hydrogen cyanide is used as a reducing agent to reduce the use of other reducing agents.

Benefits of technology

It achieves efficient removal of nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide, and nitrous oxide at low cost and low energy consumption, reducing the use of reducing agents and the risk of catalyst poisoning, and improving treatment efficiency.

Abstract

The present invention relates to a method for removing nitric oxide, nitrogen dioxide and nitrous oxide from an exhaust gas stream obtained in a nitration process, the method comprising: (a) removing nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide from the exhaust gas stream by adding an oxygen-containing gas to the exhaust gas stream, oxidizing the nitric oxide in the gas stream to form nitrogen dioxide, thereby obtaining a nitric oxide depleted gas stream; (b) washing the nitric oxide depleted gas stream with water to obtain a nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide depleted gas stream; (c) converting nitrous oxide in the nitric oxide and nitrogen dioxide depleted gas stream into nitrogen and carbon dioxide and optionally oxygen in the presence of a nitrous oxide reduction catalyst and in the presence of hydrogen cyanide.
