A process for the substantially complete removal of acid gases and ammonia from aqueous solutions is disclosed, which comprises a two stage distillation operation wherein the pressure in the first distillation stage is substantially less than the pressure in the second stage, the ammonia concentration in this stage decreases downwardly so that an aqueous bottoms stream has a pH less than 8, this aqueous bottoms stream is treated with alkali and then distilled in the second stage. A portion of the aqueous bottoms can be vaporized by indirect heat exchange with vapors evolving from the second stage. The improvement lies in adding ammonia to the overhead vapor from the first stage to reduce corrosion of the condenser and preferably, the amount of vapor condensed is controlled to further minimize corrosion. |
