    摘要: The present invention is directed to a method for recovering argon from a feed mixture comprising argon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and hydrogen which comprises the steps of (a) purifying the feed mixture to remove contaminants, (b) compressing the purified feed mixture to a separation pressure, and (c) passing the compressed purified feed mixture through a pressure swing adsorption system to separate carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, and all or most of the nitrogen from the mixture as adsorbed products and to produce an argon-rich fraction as a non-adsorbed product. The argon-rich fraction from step (c) may be further purified by passing the fraction to a cryogenic fractional distillation system to separate hydrogen and any remaining nitrogen from the fraction as a distillate product and to produce a pure argon product. In a second and third embodiment, the invention is directed to a method for recovering argon from a feed mixture comprising argon, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, nitrogen, and oxygen, wherein oxygen is removed from the argon-rich fraction exiting the pressure swing adsorption system in step (c) by passing the fraction to a second pressure swing adsorption system before or after further purification of the fraction in a cryogenic fractional distillation system.

    摘要: In a process proposed for purification of a gas stream at elevated pressure by nitrogen scrubbing, the gas stream to be purified and the nitrogen scrubbing stream are initially cooled to low temperatures. The gas stream is then scrubbed with liquid nitrogen and the purified gas stream is mixed with cooled, high-pressure nitrogen to form a mixture in which nitrogen accumulates partly as a liquid phase. The mixture thus formed is then heated and the liquid nitrogen contained therein is evaporated. Prior to scrubbing, either the nitrogen scrubbing stream itself or a partial stream of the nitrogen scrubbing stream or another process stream under a pressure lower than the working pressure of the nitrogen scrubbing step is at least partly condensed and then pumped to a higher pressure. The condensation of this low-pressure stream provides a reduction in the temperature difference at the cold end of the heat exchangers upstream of the scrubbing step resulting in the reduction of the energy requirements of the process.

    摘要: A system for preventing substantial pollution of the atmosphere by benzene vapors displaced from a tank truck during loading of the truck with benzene. The benzene is loaded into the truck at its ambient temperature, and benzene vapors displaced from the truck are cooled to condense them to a liquid state. The system for cooling the benzene vapors is one in which natural gas at high pressure is expanded to a lower pressure, and the cooling effect which takes place during the expansion is utilized to cool and condense the benzene vapors.
