摘要:
An initial gaseous mixture of at least two components is passed through an adsorber which preferentially adsorbs one of the components. This initially loads the adsorber. Subsequently, another gaseous mixture, having a greater proportion of the preferentially adsorbed component than the initial gaseous mixture, is passed through the adsorber so as to additionally load the adsorber. Part of the gas in the adsorber is then removed. This initially unloads the adsorber and yields a first fraction containing both components, with the proportion of the preferentially adsorbed component being greater than that in the initial gaseous mixture. The remainder of the gas in the adsorber is removed next so as to completely unload the adsorber. This results in a second fraction including both components and wherein the proportion of the preferentially adsorbed component is greater than that in both the second gaseous mixture to be passed through the adsorber and the first fraction removed from the adsorber. The first fraction may be used for additionally loading the adsorber during a subsequent cycle. An advantageous arrangement for carrying out the process is also disclosed.

摘要:
An initial gaseous mixture of at least two components is passed through an adsorber which preferentially adsorbs one of the components. This initially loads the adsorber. Subsequently, another gaseous mixture, having a greater concentration of the preferentially adsorbed component than the initial gaseous mixture, is passed through the adsorber so as to additionally load the adsorber. Part of the gas in the adsorber is then removed. This initially unloads the adsorber and yields a first fraction containing both components with the concentration of the preferentially adsorbed component being greater than that in the initial gaseous mixture. Subsequently, part of the gas still remaining in the adsorber is removed so as to further unload the adsorber. This results in a second fraction including both components and wherein the concentration of the preferentially adsorbed component is greater than that in both the second gaseous mixture to be passed through the adsorber and the first fraction removed from the adsorber. Finally, the remainder of the gas in the adsorber is removed so as to completely unload the adsorber. This yields a third fraction including both components with the concentration of the preferentially adsorbed component being lower than that in the second fraction removed from the adsorber but greater than that in the initial gaseous mixture passed into the adsorber. The first and third fractions may be used for additionally loading the adsorber in a subsequent cycle. A preferred application is the enrichment of oxygen-containing gases, particularly air, which include a component of greater molecular size than oxygen. A preferred adsorber is molecular sieve coke which preferentially adsorbs the oxygen. The process permits air to be enriched to such an extent that the product fraction, namely, the second fraction, removed from the adsorber contains between 70 and 95 volume percent of oxygen.
摘要:
Porous coke is impregnated with an organic compound which remains in the pores thereby causing a reduction in the effective size of the same. This results in molecular sieve coke capable of separating different gases, particularly oxygen and nitrogen, and capable of adsorbing smaller gas molecules more rapidly than larger gas molecules. The organic compound has a boiling point of at least 200.degree.C as measured at atmospheric pressure and of no more than 450.degree.C as measured in vacuum.
摘要:
A membrane having a preselected pore type which is suited for separating processes comprising a shaped body formed by heating a mixture of finely ground carbonaceous material with a binder composed of about 5 to 20% by weight natural or synthetic elastomer or a mixture of both and of about 1 to 20% by weight of thermoplastic material to about 400.degree. to 1400.degree. C. in an inert atmosphere at a rate of temperature increase between 0.1.degree. and 10.degree. C./min. The membranes are useful for a wide range of selective chemical and physical separation operations of different materials.
摘要:
Bodies are press-molded from a mixture of particulate fuel and a binder. These bodies are heated to a temperature between about 600.degree.-900.degree. C. in a rotary furnace to degas them. The degassing is carried out without subjecting the bodies to mechanical stresses and without permitting combustion of the expelled volatile gases. The resulting shaped coke has a greatly improved abrasion resistance.
