METHOD FOR PURIFICATION OF AMMONIA, MIXTURES OF NITROGEN AND HYDROGEN, OR NITROGEN, HYDROGEN AND AMMONIA

摘要

Method for purification of ammonia or mixtures of nitrogen and hydrogen, or nitrogen, hydrogen and ammonia, where ammonia or a mixture of gases under pressure of from 0.1 to 25 MPa is passed through a column packed with aluminium oxide with a large specific surface area, the ammonia or mixture of gases is then passed through a column packed with CaO, NaOH, KOH or an NaOH/KOH melt, separately or in a mixture, at 20 to 70° C. and under pressure of from 0.1 to 25 MPa, and the ammonia or mixture of gases is passed through a column packed with activated carbon having a specific area of 100-3000 m2/g with sodium, potassium, caesium, magnesium, calcium, strontium, barium or cerium nitrates(V) or nitrates(III) deposited on its surface, separately or in a mixture.
