Method for purifying CO2 gasflow
The invention relates to a process for purifying CO2
offgas streams to free them of chemical compounds and
to the recycling of the purified gas streams into the
production process.
Such offgases occur in particular in the preparation of
methionine and comprise, in addition to methyl
mercaptan, generally also ammonia, hydrocyanic acid and
steam.
Such a methionine process is described, for example, in
EP-B 0780370 = US 5,770,769 and US 5990349.
The underlying process steps can be illustrated as
follows:
Step 1: formation of 5-(2-methylmercapto)hydantoin

Step 2: hydrolysis of the hydantoin to form the
methionine potassium salt

Step 3: stripping of NH3 and CO2 from the hydrolysis
mixture


Step 4: release of solid methionine from its potassium
salt

Step 5: separation of solid methionine and mother
liquor

Step 6: heat treatment of the mother liquor to release
CO2 and recycling into step 2:

The overall equation of the methionine synthesis by the
above process has the following appearance:

The recycling of K2CO3 and NH3 according to the
abovementioned partial steps does not constitute any
problem.

However, when steps 2 and 3 are considered, it can be
seen that, from a stoichiometric point of view, 1.5 mol
of CO2 can be released from these per mole of NH3.
According to EP 0 780 370 A, these volatile components
may be recycled into the stage of hydantoin formation
(step 1).
However, according to the stoichiometry of the
reaction, 0.5 mol of CO2 leaves this stage without
reaction unutilized as offgas.
Simple recycling is not possible since the chemical
analysis of the offgas shows that it comprises, based
on the CO2 content, methyl mercaptan (Mc) in amounts of
1 - 10% by weight. The methyl mercaptan-containing
offgas cannot be utilized in the methionine
precipitation (step 4) , since the product which has
been filtered off would be greatly odour-afflicted. In
addition, the methyl mercaptan, owing to its acid
character, would accumulate as potassium
methylmercaptide in the process solutions, which would
lead to disruptions in the methionine workup. The
methyl mercaptan content of the offgas from the
hydantoin synthesis has two causes. One is that the
methylmercaptopropionaldehyde (MMP) used as a raw
material, as a result of the process, always comprises
a certain methyl mercaptan residue content (see
US 4,048,232 and US 3,878,057); the other is that
methyl mercaptan can form by thermal decomposition of
methionine, mainly in the hydantoin hydrolysis
supported by potassium carbonate (step 2) . The thermal
decomposition of methionine is also described in
EP 839 804.
For the reasons mentioned, the offgas is incinerated
according to the prior art, in the course of which CO2
and methyl mercaptan are lost and considerable costs
for the combustion simultaneously arise.

US 4,319,044 already discloses a process for preparing
5-(2-methylmercapto)hydantoin, in which the hydrogen
cyanide present in the offgas consisting mainly of CO2
and the methyl mercaptan are recovered by multistage
scrubbing. According to this process, the offgas is
initially contacted either with an ammonium carbonate
or a dilute hydantoin solution in order to bind HCN.
The HCN-laden solution is recycled into the hydantoin
synthesis. In a second scrubbing stage, the offgas
which still comprises methyl mercaptan and ammonia is
scrubbed with water in order to remove NH3. In the
third scrubbing stage, the offgas is counter-scrubbed
with methylmercaptopropionaldehyde (MMP), which binds
the methyl mercaptan as hemithioacetal. A disadvantage
of this process is that CO2, as the quantitatively most
significant proportion of the offgas stream, escapes
unutilized. Moreover, an additional waste stream is
formed in the process mentioned as a result of the
emission of the water scrubbing described there, which
comprises the toxic substances ammonia and methyl
mercaptan, whose disposal is associated with high
costs.
The process described in the US patent 4,319,044
additionally possesses the disadvantage that the offgas
stream, in the course of the scrubbing process, comes
into contact with MMP last.
Hence, it is saturated with MMP at least in accordance
with the specific vapour pressure and is only
recyclable to a limited extent.
It is an object of the invention to purify offgas
streams consisting mainly of CO2 to free them of
chemical compounds contained therein in such a way that
the purified CO2 can subsequently be recycled into the
production process.
The invention provides a process for purifying CO2-

containing gas streams having a content of methyl
mercaptan, in which the gas is scrubbed in the
specified sequence
a) with water or with water in which
methylmercaptopropionaldehyde (MMP) is present
dissolved up to a maximum of the solubility limit,
b) subsequently with MMP and
c) then with water, and
d) the thus purified CO2 is recycled into the
production process.
The process is particularly suitable when the gas
comprises one or more additional fractions selected
from the group of hydrocyanic acid, ammonia and water.
Preference is given to a process for purifying CO2
offgases obtained in a process for preparing
methionine, in which 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde
(MMP), hydrogen cyanide, ammonia and carbon dioxide, or
those components from which the aforementioned
components can be prepared, are converted to
5-(2-methylmercaptoethyl)hydantoin, this is hydrolysed
and the methionine is precipitated with the
introduction of CO2, where the CO2-containing offgas
exiting from the hydantoin synthesis reactor is
subjected to the abovementioned at least three-stage
scrubbing process, and
a) the resulting scrubbing liquids are recycled into
the preparation process for methionine or its
precursors, and
b) the purified CO2 gas stream is introduced into an
alkali metal salt solution of the methionine-
containing reactor, and methionine is precipitated

from this salt.
The offgas exiting from the hydantoin synthesis reactor
contains generally 60 to 75% by weight of CO2, 0.01 to
0.1% by weight of hydrocyanic acid, 1 to 10% by weight
of methyl mercaptan, 0.5 to 5% by weight of ammonia and
15 to 25% by weight of water.
The ammonia-containing scrubbing liquid from washing
step a) is introduced into the hydantoin synthesis
reactor.
The methyl mercaptan-containing scrubbing liquid from
scrubbing step b) is introduced into the MMP synthesis,
and the MMP-containing scrubbing liquid from scrubbing
step c) is used as scrubbing liquid for scrubbing step
a) .
In scrubbing step b), the amount of MMP used is
selected in such a way that the molar ratio of
MMP:methyl mercaptan (gaseous) is 1:1 to 3:1, in
particular 1:1 to 2:1.
The scrubbing is carried out at a temperature of 10 to
60°C, in particular 10 to 40°C.
The pressure in the scrubbing apparatus is generally 1
to 10 bar higher than that in the precipitation reactor
for methionine. Suitable scrubbing apparatuses are in
particular multistage columns having intermediate
column bottoms or columns having valve or bubble-cap
trays.
The scrubbing is effected in countercurrent. The
purified gas has a CO2 content of > 98% by weight, in
particular > 99% by weight to 99.8% by weight. In
addition, the CO2-containing gas obtained from the
workup of the mother liquor obtained in the methionine
process (step 6), from which the water has been

condensed out, can be passed through the scrubbing
apparatus (Figure 2).
5-(2-Methylmercaptoethyl)hydantoin is prepared
according to EP 0 780 370 A by preparing a solution of
hydrogen cyanide in 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde and
a solution of ammonia and carbon dioxide in water,
rapidly and intimately mixing these solutions and
reacting them. The solution of hydrogen cyanide in
3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde is appropriately
adjusted in such a way that it consists of equimolar
proportions of hydrogen cyanide and 3-methylmercapto-
propionaldehyde, or else comprises excess proportions
of hydrogen cyanide. In general, it is advantageous not
to select the proportion of hydrogen cyanide in the
solution at greater than 1.1 mol per mole of 3-methyl-
mercaptopropionaldehyde; the solution preferably
contains 1.005 to 1.05 mol of hydrogen cyanide per mole
of 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde.
The solution of ammonia and carbon dioxide in water may
be a saturated or dilute solution; advantageously, the
content of ammonia is not below about 5% by weight. The
molar ratio of ammonia to carbon dioxide is
appropriately about 1.2 to 4.0 mol, preferably 1.6 to
1.8 mol, of ammonia per mole of carbon dioxide. The
solution of hydrogen cyanide in 3-methylmercapto-
propionaldehyde is mixed with the solution of ammonia
and carbon dioxide in water in such a way that a molar
ratio of ammonia to 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde of
about 1.2 to 6:1.0 is appropriately present in the
mixture, preferably 2.0 to 4.0:1.0, in particular 2.5
to 3.0:1.0. The reaction is performed at ambient
temperature or higher, appropriately at temperatures
above 60°C, advantageously between about 80°C and
140°C. Preference is given to selecting temperatures
between 80 and 130°C, in particular between 90 and
12 0°C. Although the reaction can proceed at any
pressure, it is appropriate to work at elevated

pressure; advantageous pressures are found to be up to
20 bar, in particular pressures which are 2 to 3 bar
above the equilibrium pressure of the reaction mixture.
The reaction time depends upon the reaction conditions,
in particular upon the temperature and upon the
quantitative ratios.
In the preferred procedure, it is particularly
advantageous to introduce the solution of hydrogen
cyanide in 3-methylmercaptopropionaldehyde and the
solution of ammonia and carbon dioxide in water into a
reaction mixture of these substances, i.e. into a
mixture formed beforehand in the reaction of the
solutions, in which the reaction of hydantoin has
proceeded to completion or in part, and to perform the
reaction in this mixture.
It is particularly advantageous to select a continuous
procedure, to conduct the reaction mixture in
circulation for this purpose, to constantly feed the
solutions of hydrogen cyanide in 3-methylmercapto-
propionaldehyde and of ammonia and carbon dioxide in
water at two adjacent points in this circuit, and to
constantly remove a corresponding proportion of the
reaction mixture from the circulation at another point.
The process for preparing methionine or an alkali metal
salt of methionine by hydrolysis of 5-(2-methyl-
mercaptoethyl) hydantoin in the presence of an aqueous
solution comprising alkali metal and carbon dioxide,
and optional further reaction to give methionine, the
hydrolysis being carried out at least at the start in
the presence of at least 0.1 eq. , in particular up to
7 eq., of ammonia per equivalent of 5-(2-methyl-
mercaptoethyl)hydantoin, is likewise known from the EP
document.
It has been found that it is particularly advantageous
when the hydrolysis is carried out from the start in

the presence of alkali metal and carbon dioxide, i.e.
that in particular a mixture of alkali metal compounds
is present, in particular alkali metal
hydrogencarbonate, alkali metal carbonate, alkali metal
hydroxide, alkali metal being in particular potassium
and sodium. The amount of alkali metal and carbon
dioxide is appropriately at least the stoichiometric
amount based on the hydantoin. This can be distinctly
exceeded at the upper end. A molar ratio with an excess
of about 3:1 based on the hydantoin is particularly
advantageous; in principle, it can be assumed that an
even greater excess is even more favourable. However,
particular preference is given in practice to ratios of
about 1.5:1-2:1. According to the invention, some
ammonia is additionally added, which is correspondingly
likewise partly also present in the form of ammonia
compounds. It is particularly advantageous in this
context when, at the start of the hydrolysis, max.
7 mol of ammonia (incl. ammonium compounds) are present
per mole of 5-(2-methylmercaptoethyl)hydantoin. This
achieves progress of the hydrolysis virtually without
by-product formation and in good yields, and secondly
only little alkali metal carbonate, if any,
precipitates out. It is particularly advantageous in
this context when ammonia and/or carbon dioxide, if
appropriate together with water, are discharged from
the reaction system during the hydrolysis. This allows
the reaction conditions to be controlled particularly
favourably, so that still no alkali metal carbonate
precipitates out and the reaction proceeds to
completion.
The hydrolysis processes are favourably carried out at
a temperature of 120 to 250°C and correspondingly a
pressure of 5 to 3 0 bar. In this range, very good
conversions and low by-product formation result. It is
also advantageous when the alkali metal component is
used in an at least equimolar amount based on the 5- (2-
methylmercaptoethyl)hydantoin. In that case, in

addition to the full hydrolysis, the corresponding
alkali metal salt of methionine is also obtained
virtually quantitatively. The hydrolysis solution
preferably also already comprises methionine or its
salt at the start; this too has a favourable,
presumably autocatalytic effect on the hydrolysis.
In this procedure, virtually all of the ammonia and all
of the carbon dioxide can advantageously be removed
from the hydrolysis solution in the course of or after
the hydrolysis, so that the hydrolysate can be removed
substantially free of ammonia and carbon dioxide.
Here too, it is particularly advantageous to carry out
the process continuously. It is very particularly
advantageous in this context that the processes
described hitherto can be connected together, in
particular as a fully continuous process in which
carbon dioxide and ammonia can be recycled.
Methionine is released from alkali metal methionate in
aqueous solution by introducing carbon dioxide, the
release preferably being carried out in a stirred cell
reactor with intensive mixing or in a stirred reactor
with virtually ideal mixing.
In the release of the methionine from the aqueous
solution by means of carbon dioxide, it is particularly
advantageous when the carbon dioxide is introduced into
the aqueous solution via a nozzle device in the region
of the bottom. This in turn promotes the release of the
methionine. Moreover, the release is advantageously
carried out at a pressure of 1 to 3 0 bar, preferably
also at a temperature of 0 to 100°C.
Very particularly advantageously, an aqueous solution
is used which is substantially free of ammonia.
The last procedure too is particularly favourably

carried out continuously.
The inventive method makes it possible to operate the
methionine process without CO2 loss. Further undesired
offgas or wastewater streams do not occur.
Examples
Example 1
As described in EP 0780370, the hydantoin hydrolysis
(K 2) is carried out preferably at a pressure of
7-9 bar and the release of the methionine from its
potassium salt with CO2 in (R 2) at a pressure of 2 to
5 bar. It is therefore particularly advantageous to
keep the plant parts hydantoin hydrolysis (K 2),
hydantoin reactor (R 1) and the CO2 scrubbing system
together at a higher pressure than the reactor (R 2) ,
so that the purified CO2 (6) passes into the
precipitation reactor (R 2) without further conveying
units. It is further advantageous to combine the 3-
stage CO2 scrubbing as explained above in one column
having two intermediate column bottoms in order to
minimize the apparatus demands.
With reference to Figure 1 and the process steps
detailed at the outset, the invention is illustrated in
detail:
HCN (1) and MMP (2) are fed to the continuously
operated hydantoin reactor (R 1) (step 1) . Via 3, the
reaction partners NH3 and CO2 also pass into it from the
hydrolysis and stripping column (K 2) (step 2 + 3) .
Excess Mc- and NH3-containing CO2 leaves the hydantoin
reactor (R 1) via 5 and is washed to free it of NH3
with aqueous solution 8 in the lower section of the
scrubbing column (K 1, C). Subsequently, the gas enters
the scrubbing zone (K 1, B) from below and is washed to
free it of Mc in countercurrent with MMP (10). Finally,

the gas is finely purified with water (7) and leaves
the column (K 1) via 6. The Mc-laden MMP
(hemithioacetal) leaves the column (K 1) via 11 and is
fed to MMP synthesis.
The purified CO2 is combined with the CO2 obtained from
the workup (18) and serves to precipitate the
methionine from the hydrolysis solution (11) in the
reactor (R 2) (step 4) . The suspension (13) is
filtered, the filtercake (14) sent to further workup
(step 5). The filtrates (15) are concentrated by
evaporation (step 6) . The concentrate (16) serves as
the K2CO3 source for the hydantoin hydrolysis in the
column (K 2) . The energy supply and the stripping
effect are brought about by the steam supply 2 0 (step 2
+ 3) .
From the vapours of the evaporative concentration,
water (19) is condensed out and the CO2 which remains
thereafter (18) is combined with the CO2 from the
scrubbing column (K 1) and fed to the reactor R 2 (step
4) .
The reactive absorption of Mc into MMP can be carried
out particularly advantageously when the column portion
(K 1, B) consists of valve or bubble-cap trays or a
comparable construction. This technical design has the
advantage that it enables a minimal MMP to Mc gas
ratio. This minimizes the cost and inconvenience of
conveying the amount of MMP used for the scrubbing. In
the present case, it is advantageously possible to
quantitatively scrub out the Mc content in the CO2 gas
with a minimal, i.e. almost stoichiometric, amount of
MMP.
This process does not comprise any additionally
unutilized offgas/wastewater streams.
It is also possible to pass the CO2-containing offgas

stream formed in the workup of the mother liquor fully
or partly (step 6) likewise through the scrubber
(Figure 2) .
This is advantageous in order to recover the methyl
mercaptan likewise present therein. Typically, this
stream contains 97 to 99% by weight of CO2, 0.1 to 1%
by weight of water and 0.1 to 1% by weight of methyl
mercaptan.
This shifts the CO2 content in the overall offgas
stream to be scrubbed to higher values in comparison to
the content in the offgas from the hydantoin synthesis
reactor. The reduction in the concentration of the
remaining constituents has no influence on the
effectiveness of the scrubbing.
Example 2
A plant as described in Figure 1 is operated with a
production output of 100 kg/h of methionine.
In the hydantoin reactor R1, an offgas amount of
22.1 kg/h with the composition of 68% by weight of CO2,
27% by weight of water, 3.6% by weight of methyl
mercaptan, 0.9% by weight of NH3 and 0.5% by weight of
other components is obtained at 80°C.
This crude gas is treated in countercurrent in the
three-stage column K1, A, B, C, the operating pressure
at the top of the column being 6 bar gauge.
In zone C of the column K1, the gas stream is scrubbed
with 15 kg/h of water at 30°C which is drawn from the
discharge of zone A.
On entry into the scrubbing zone B of the column Kl,
the gas stream has the composition: 91% by weight of
CO2, 4.8% by weight of methyl mercaptan, 3.6% by weight

of water and 0.4% by weight of other components.
In the scrubbing zone B, washing is effected in
countercurrent at 20°C with 2 kg/h of methyl-
mercaptopropionaldhyde. Afterwards, the gas stream has
the composition: 99.8% by weight of CO2, 0.01% by
weight of MMP and Methyl mercaptan is no longer detectable by gas
chromatography.
For fine purification, the gas is also conducted
through the zone A and freed of entrained MMP with
15 kg/h of water.
The thus purified gas has a content of > 99.8% by
weight of CO2.
