    摘要: The present invention provides a method for concentrating nitrogen isotope comprising a step for obtaining a final product nitrogen, in which the stable nitrogen isotope, 15 N, has been concentrated, by low-temperature distillation of raw material nitrogen containing trace amounts of oxygen and argon with a plurality of distillation columns composed in a cascade arrangement, wherein together with discharging an argon-oxygen mixture from the bottom of the final column and extracting a 15 N-concentrated nitrogen fluid from a lower intermediate point of the final column, the flow rate of the argon-oxygen mixture discharged from the bottom of the final column is controlled based on the reading of a thermometer installed below the point where the final product 15 N-concentrated nitrogen is extracted, thereby enabling the final product nitrogen to be stably obtained.

    摘要: In a nitrogen generation process in which a stream of air is compressed in compressor 11, is cooled and has water vapour and carbon dioxide removed therefrom in a reversing heat exchanger 16, and is separated in a rectification column 24, a gaseous nitrogen product stream 30 is produced. An air turbine 22 is operated to produce refrigeration for the process. The process is also used to purify merchant liquid nitrogen typically containing from 0.5 to 5 vpm of oxygen. A stream 51 of such merchant liquid nitrogen is introduced into a stage of the rectification column where the liquid nitrogen has a substantially matching composition. A stream 36 of purified liquid nitrogen is withdrawn from the top of the column 24. The purified liquid nitrogen can be produced at a rate in excess of that made possible by the turbine 22 without reducing the efficiency of gaseous nitrogen generation.

    摘要: The process and the apparatus serve for producing high-purity liquid nitrogen from an impure nitrogen feed stream. The process comprises the following steps:

    introducing the feed stream (1, 3) into a single distillation column (4),
    withdrawing a high-purity gaseous nitrogen stream (5) from the single distillation column (4),
    compressing at least a part of the high-purity gaseous nitrogen stream in a recycle compressor (8) of a nitrogen recycle system to produce a high-pressure recycle stream (10),
    work expanding (19, 36) at least a first portion (18, 35) of the high-pressure recycle stream (10) to produce a first low-pressure recycle stream (20, 37),
    recycling (7) at least a portion (23, 37) of the first low-pressure recycle stream to the recycle compressor (8),
    liquefying a second portion of the high-pressure recycle stream to produce a liquid recycle stream (28), and
    recovering at least a first portion (29) of the second low-pressure recycle stream (28) as liquid nitrogen product stream (31).

    摘要: A process for producing liquid carbon dioxide. A process stream which comprises carbon dioxide, balance substantially nitrogen and water, is cooled so that a minor amount of the water is condensed out. The process stream is compressed so that substantially all of the water but trace amounts is condensed out. Next, the process stream is cleaned to remove the trace amounts of water, any long-chain hydrocarbons present and any particulates present. The process stream is then separated into a nitrogen-rich gaseous stream and a carbon dioxide-rich gaseous stream. The carbon dioxide-rich gaseous stream is then compressed and the nitrogen-rich gaseous stream is expanded to produce an expanded nitrogen-rich gaseous stream. The energy of the expanding is used to compress the carbon dioxide-rich gaseous stream. The compressed carbon dioxide-rich gaseous stream is cooled to liquefy the carbon dioxide in the stream and reduce the temperature of the gaseous nitrogen in the stream. The liquefied carbon dioxide is withdrawn as product. The liquefying of the carbon dioxide-rich gaseous stream is by using the expanded nitrogen-rich gaseous stream. After the liquefying, the nitrogen-rich gaseous stream is used to perform at least part of the first cooling. In a preferred form, the process stream results from combusting a mixture of fuel and oxygen in a heat engine to drive an electrical generator with the product of the heat engine to produce electricity and also yielding the process stream. Apparatus for the production of liquid carbon dioxide which includes devices to perform each of the process steps.
