摘要:
The present process is an improvement of an earlier process wherein a nitrogen enriched gas is obtained from a gas containing oxygen and possibly other components. In that process the feed gas is passed in a continuous flow cycle through an adsorber containing carbonaceous molecular sieve coke followed by evacuation of the adsorber, oxygen and possibly other gas components being adsorbed and the discharged nitrogen-enriched gas being collected until the continually rising oxygen contents thereof reaches a predetermined limit value whereupon the molecular sieve coke is desorbed of the residual gases prior to the next charging cycle. The present improvement is constituted by the feature that the flow of feed gas through the molecular sieve coke is effected at a continually increasing pressure until a terminal pressure of about 3 to 10 bar has been reached.

摘要:
Process to obtain nitrogen from gas mixtures containing oxygen and nitrogen by using alternating pressure adsorption on carbon molecular sieves, which comprises an adsorption cycle and a desorption cycle, in which the desorption cycle--which may also include the pressure equalization step--includes an idle time, which amounts to between 20 and 80% of the total time of the desorption cycle, plus a correspondingly shortened desorption step, whereby the adsorber decompression line is completely opened at the beginning of the desorption step and is completely closed and kept tightly closed after the decompression to ambient pressure during the subsequent idle period.
摘要:
Process for obtaining nitrogen from air or nitrogen-containing gases by pressure exchange adsorption and desorption on two alternately operated adsorbers filled with carbon molecular sieves, whereby air is passed through the adsorber so that the oxygen is adsorbed and enriched nitrogen is obtained, while at the same time the other adsorber is regenerated by pressure relief, whereby in a first carbon molecular sieve layer (on the air intake side) of the two adsorbers, making up 1/20 to 1/2 of the entire carbon molecular sieve layer, a carbon molecular sieve A is introduced which serves simultaneously for the adsorption of the residual humidity and gas separation, and that in a second (on the air-outlet side) carbon molecular sieve layer a carbon molecular sieve B is introduced serving exclusively for gas separation, and that the carbon molecular sieve A has a relative volume of 3.0 to 3.4 and the carbon molecular sieve B has a relative volume of 2.3 to 2.95.
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 simple, inexpensive method of inerting transport containers, particularly for goods which easily spoil in the air, such as foodstuffs, plants and flowers, by a gas which contains nitrogen and a predetermined concentration of up to about 5 vol. % oxygen is made possible in the manner that air is conducted, in a cyclic pressure-change adsorption process, through a layer of adsorbent in which the oxygen in the air is adsorbed on the adsorbent in each case during an adsorption step at a pressure above atmospheric pressure and a nitrogen-rich gaseous mixture still containing oxygen which discharges at the end of the layer of adsorbent is conducted into the transport container to be inerted, and the adsorbed oxygen of the air is desorbed in each case during the desorption steps by reducing the pressure of the adsorbent and, finally, the next adsorption step is started, a multiple of the predetermined quantity of air necessary to maintain the desired oxygen content flowing in the adsorption steps through the layer of adsorbent in a first inerting phase and one time said the quantity of air flowing through it in a second inerting phase.
摘要:
A gate valve for selectively blocking and unblocking a flow path has a valve body filled with hydraulic liquid and provided with a pair of shutters displaceable by fluid pressure against respective seating surfaces of a valve housing. The valve body is shiftable between a blocking position, in which the shutters are aligned with their seating surfaces, and an unblocking position by means of a plunger projecting into the hollow body in a fluidtight manner but with freedom of relative displacement in the shifting direction. In a valve-closing stroke, the plunger pushes that body into its blocking position solely via the confined liquid; when the body is arrested in that position by a stop, the continuing plunger stroke displaces the liquid to press the shutters onto their seats against a biasing force such as that of elastic membranes holding them onto the body. In a valve-opening stroke, the receding plunger hydraulically withdraws the shutters from their seats and then retracts the valve body into its unblocking position.
