PROCESO PARA ELIMINAR EL AMONIACO DE UN GAS ACIDO QUE COMPRENDE PONER EN CONTACTO DICHO GAS CON UN ACIDO FUERTE Y CON UNA SOLUCION DE RECIRCULACION, SEPARAR LA FASE GASEOSA, ALIMENTAR LA SOLUCION A UN PURIFICADOR PARA ELIMINAR EL SULFURO DE HIDROGENO

摘要

The present invention provides a process for removing ammonia as an aqueous salt solution from an acid gas comprising ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. A strong acid, such as sulfuric acid, is used as a scrubbing agent to convert ammonia to an ammonium salt. Control of pH and stripping in combination with reboiler or evaporators reduces hydrogen sulfide concentration. The ammonium salt is produced as an aqueous solution, which may crystallized to form a solid product. The ammonium salt solution or solid may be used as a fertilizer.
