Process for continuously removing and recovering respectively a gas dissolved in a liquid, particularly ammonia from aqueous ammonia waste water

Patent ·
OSTI ID:6430133

A process is described for continuously removing and recovering a gas dissolved in a liquid, particularly a process for continuously removing and recovering ammonia from aqueous ammonia waste water in a column. The process comprises: distributing the waste water through a packed bed; directly contacting the waste water with a heated counter-current flowing gas across the first packed bed to increase the temperature of the waste water and cool the gas; increasing the pH of the waste water and cool the gas; increasing the pH of the waste water after waste water has passed through the first packed bed; distributing the waste water through a second packed bed; and stripping the gas from the waste water by directly contacting the waste water with the cooled countercurrent flowing gas across the second packed bed.
