Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method includes a first step of, with a CO 2 .H 2 S stripper maintained to have a pressure higher than atmospheric pressure, from the ammonia-containing wastewater, discharging CO 2 and H 2 S in a form of gas having a low moisture concentration from a tower top of the CO 2 .H 2 S stripper while discharging an ammonia-containing solution from a tower bottom of the CO 2 .H 2 S stripper; a second step of introducing the ammonia-containing solution obtained after the first step into an ammonia stripper which is maintained to have a lower pressure than that of the CO 2 .H 2 S stripper, and thereby discharging a gas rich in ammonia containing a small amount of H 2 S and CO 2 from a tower top of the ammonia stripper while discharging water usable as industrial water from a tower bottom of the ammonia stripper; and a third step of introducing the ammonia rich gas obtained after the second step into a washing tower which is maintained to have a lower pressure than that of the ammonia stripper, and thereby discharging a wastewater containing a Na compound from a tower bottom of the washing tower while discharging a H 2 S-free gas rich in ammonia from a tower top of the washing tower.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. An ammonia recovery device for recovering ammonia from an ammonia-containing wastewater from a gasification furnace, the ammonia recovery device comprising: a CO 2 .H 2 S stripper configured for maintaining an inner pressure higher than atmospheric pressure; an ammonia stripper configured for maintaining an inner pressure lower than that of the CO 2 .H 2 S stripper; and a washing tower configured for maintaining an inner pressure maintained lower than th…
