FIELD: chemistry.
SUBSTANCE: invention relates to chemistry. The method of removing HCN and NH3 from synthesis gas involves the following steps: (a) bringing crude synthesis gas containing HCN into contact with a HCH-hydrolysing sorbent in the presence of water to obtain synthesis gas which contains NH3, and (b) bringing the synthesis gas containing NH3 into contact with an acidic cation-exchange resin in the presence of water to remove NH3. Purified synthesis gas is obtained as a result.
EFFECT: invention simplifies the method and reduces capital costs.
