This disclosure relates to improved methods for alkali metal cyanide production, particularly to improved methods for sodium cyanide production. The improved method of producing sodium cyanide involves the step of contacting hydrogen cyanide with an aqueous solution of sodium carbonate or of a mixture of sodium carbonate and sodium bicarbonate to produce a sodium cyanide solution.

A portable gas separator assembly utilizing carbon molecular sieve absorbents or elements to separate a compressed air stream to extract nitrogen and oxygen molecules. Components of the assembly include at least two charging towers so that one tower can be charged with compressed gas while the other of the at least two towers is purged.

A purification composition, comprising 50-60% by weight of ash and 40-50% by weight of liquid. A method for producing the purification composition, comprising: measuring an amount of ash, combining the ash and liquid, wherein an amount of the liquid is based on the amount of the ash, adjusting a temperature of the combination of the ash and the liquid by adjusting a temperature of the liquid and mixing the ash and the liquid. A method for purifying a flue gas by the purification composition, comprising: combining the purification composition and vapour to form a chute, adding the chute to the flue gas, adding the purification composition to the flue gas and over-pressuring the flue gas and adding more of the purification composition to the flue gas and under-pressuring the flue gas.

Process and plant for the production of a urea ammonium sulfate granulate. In a first fluidized bed a first spraying liquid is sprayed comprising a urea melt and an aqueous solution of ammonium sulfate, e.g. a (near-) eutectic mixture. The bed temperature is below the crystallization temperature of the sprayed mixture. In a next compartment the granulate is fluidized to form a second fluidized bed. A second spraying liquid comprising a urea melt is sprayed into the second fluidized bed with a bed temperature higher than the bed temperature of the first fluidized bed and lower than the crystallization temperature of the sprayed second spraying liquid.
