Abstract

Abstract A process for recovering ammonia gas from an aqueous solution containing ammonia and carbon dioxide which comprises countercurrently contacting such aqueous solution with a desorption gas selected from air, oxygen, nitrogen and mixtures thereof. The molar ratio of ammonia to carbon dioxide in the aqueous solution is at least 2, such aqueous solution being one obtained upon the synthesis of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide or from the production of an aromatic nitrile by the ammoxidation of an aromatic hydrocarbon.

Claim 1
Independent Claim 98 words
A method of recovering ammonia gas from an aqueous solution containing ammonia and carbon dioxide in a molar ratio of ammonia to carbon dioxide of from 2:1 to 12.25:1, said aqueous solution being obtained upon synthesis of urea from ammonia and carbon dioxide, which method comprises concurrently contacting said aqueous solution with a desorption gas selected from the group consisting of air, oxygen, nitrogen and mixtures thereof, at a temperature below about 60* C. and above the freezing point of said aqueous solution, thereby desorbing from said aqueous solution ammonia gas which is substantially free of carbon dioxide.
