摘要:
Gas supplying method and system in which effective component gas in exhaust gas can be separated and purified efficiently regardless of variation in the flow rate or composition of the exhaust gas and consumed gas can be replenished efficiently. In a method for collecting exhaust gas discharged from a gas using facility, separating/purifying effective component gas contained in the exhaust gas and supplying the effective component gas thus obtained to the gas using facility, the exhaust gas discharged from the gas using facility is added with a replenishing gas of the same components as the effective component gas before the effective component gas is separated and purified.
摘要:
A method is described for recovering a noble gas, such as xenon or krypton, from a first gas mixture comprising a plurality of components, one of which is the noble gas and the others are typically helium and/or nitrogen, argon, and relatively light fluorocarbons. The gas mixture is first conveyed to a gas chromatography column for separating the noble gas from the other components of the gas mixture. As the noble gas travels relatively slowly through the column, the other components are exhaust from the column before the relatively slow noble gas. Following the exhaust of these other components, a carrier gas is supplied to the column to flush the noble gas therefrom. An exhaust gas comprising the noble gas and the carrier gas is conveyed from the column to a membrane separator to separate the second gas mixture into a noble gas-rich gas stream and a purge gas-rich gas stream, which may be recirculated back to the column for re-use. The noble gas-rich gas stream is then purified prior to its re-use.

A noble gas selected from xenon, neon, krypton or mixtures of these is recovered from a process chamber (A) by purging the chamber with one of several gases and then separating the noble gas from the purge gas by one of several techniques. The separated noble gas is further purified to remove trace impurities and is then recycled for reuse in the process chamber (A). The purge gas may be recycled or disposed of, depending upon the particular purge gas used and its purity. In a specific embodiment, hydrogen is used as the purge gas and it is separated from the noble gas by high temperature membrane separation using a palladium membrane (26). The hydrogen, obtained in high purity, and the noble gas are each recycled for reuse in the process chamber (A).

摘要:
The method of recovery and recycling of inert gases, especially noble gases, from processes such as vacuum furnaces and other applications. A first gas stream comprising the inert gas and oxidisable impurities, is supplied to an oxidation column comprising a metal oxide. The impurities in the first gas stream are oxidised in the column in the presence of the metal oxide to form a second gas stream containing carbon dioxide and water, the second gas stream is supplied to a regenerable carbon dioxide removal column; the carbon dioxide is removed from the second gas stream in the column to form a third gas stream. Water is removed from the third gas stream in an absorption column, and the exhausted, purified inert gas is collected from the absorption column for conveying to a process utilising the inert gas. The recovered gas stream is of around 6N purity (99.9999% pure) i.e. having lppm total contaminants.

摘要:
A method for extending useful life of a sorbent for purifying a gas by sorption of an impurity is provided. The method generating a electrical discharge within the gas to obtain a spectral emission representative of a concentration of the impurity. The method also includes monitoring the concentration of the impurity according to the spectral emission. The method also includes lowering the concentration of the impurity by conversion of at least a portion of the impurity into a secondary impurity having a greater affinity to the sorbent than the impurity. The method also includes comparing the concentration of the impurity to a polluting concentration and managing the sorption of the gas onto the sorbent according to the comparison.
