    摘要: The present invention is directed to a process for removing minor amounts of oxygen from inert gas streams to result in very low levels of oxygen contamination in such inert gas streams, wherein the oxygen is removed by the action of stoichiometric quantities of methanol, which react with the oxygen over a catalyst at ambient feed temperature conditions without a requirement for external heating of the reaction.

    摘要: An oxygen-rich gas product of at least about 95% O.sub.2 purity is obtained from ambient air in a single-stage pressure swing adsorption operation carried out in four steps, comprised of: (a) selective adsorption of nitrogen from the air feed at superatmospheric pressure, (b) followed, without intermediate purge or rinse, by pressure let down through countercurrent gas withdrawal to about atmospheric level, (c) desorption by evacuation of the adsorbent bed to subatmospheric pressure level of 1/20 (5%) or less than 1/20.sup.th of the pressure prevailing during the adsorption step; and (d) repressuring the evacuated bed with part of the oxygen-rich effluent obtained during the adsorption step. Optionally, the operating cycle may include pressure equalization between two columns performed intermediate steps (a) and (b), whereby O.sub.2 recovery is increased. Under the prescribed conditions the oxygen production capacity at high purity level (.about.95%) is substantially increased.

    摘要: A pressure swing adsorption process is provided for the direct production from ambient air of a moderately enriched oxygen product gas. The production of a product gas having an oxygen concentration of 23 to 30% is effected by a three step cycle wherein (1) the feed air is charged to a bed of nitrogen selective adsorbent until the bed is brought from atmospheric pressure to a pressure in the range of up to 10 atmospheres, (2) reducing the bed pressure to an intermediate level by withdrawal of oxygen enriched product gas therefrom and (3) finally venting the bed to restore atmospheric pressure. By an alternative mode including a fourth step of purging the bed following the venting step, a product of 23 to 45% oxygen concentration is obtained.

    摘要: Improved oxygen recovery in the operation of a pressure swing adsorption system for air fractionation is obtained by passng the air, freed of water and CO.sub.2, through an adsorbent bed maintained at elevated temperature throughout the cycle and which is selective for retention of nitrogen, and consequent withdrawal of an oxygen-rich primary effluent product. In a preferred embodiment ambient air is passed through a pretreater section providing an adsorbent bed for removal of water and carbon dioxide. The thus purified air is compressed with consequent rise in temperature and then only partly cooled down by exchange with cooler desorbed and purged nitrogen-rich gas products withdrawn from the main adsorbent beds. These nitrogen-rich products thus heated by the exchange are employed in regenerating a water and carbon dioxide laden bed of the pretreater section. While the adsorption-desorption is operated in a pressure swing cycle, the pretreater section is operated in an independent thermal swing cycle. Alternatively, the feed air may be compressed prior to its introduction into the pretreater and the thus generated heat utilized by heat exchange for heating the purified air effluent to be fractionated.
