    摘要: The invention is based upon the recognition that intrinsic sorption rates of adsorbent materials have a significant impact upon process performance. In a preferred embodiment an adsorption process uses an adsorbent zone comprising an adsorbent selected from the group consisting of A-zeolite, Y-zeolite, NaX, mixed cation X-zeolite, LiX having a SiO2/Al2O3silica/alumina ratio of less than 3.0, chabazite, mordenite, clinoptilolite, silica-alumina, alumina, silica, titanium silicates and mixtures thereof, wherein the adsorbent has a mass transfer coefficient for nitrogen of kN2≧12 s−1 and an intrinsic diffusivity for N2, when measured at 1.5 bar and 300K, of Dp≧3.5×10−6 m2/s. Other embodiments include the development of process parameters around which such materials should be used and methods of making such materials.

    摘要: A vessel for use in a pressure swing adsorption gas separation process includes an enclosing wall which defines an enclosed space having a top region and a bottom region. An annular adsorbent bed is positioned within the enclosed space and has a porous outer wall, a porous inner wall and adsorbent material positioned between the walls. The porous outer wall is separated from the enclosing wall to create a gas feed channel therebetween, and the porous inner wall surrounds an inner tank whose wall surface is separated from the porous inner wall and creates a product flow channel therebetween. A gas feed/distribution baffle structure is positioned in the bottom region of the vessel and in fluid communication with the gas feed channel to provide a gas feed thereto. The gas feed enters the gas feed channel and the adsorbent bed via the porous outer wall and in a direction generally radially towards the inner porous wall and product flow channel. A product outlet is positioned in the bottom region and in fluid communication with the product flow channel, for collecting product gas passing thereinto via the porous inner wall from the adsorbent bed. A flexible membrane extends between the porous outer wall and the porous inner wall, at the upper extremities thereof, and is pressurized so as to bear upon the upper surface of the adsorbent material to prevent fluidization during gas flow.

    摘要: This invention relates to a VPSA method for the production of a product that is enriched with a more preferred gas from a mixture of the more preferred gas and a less preferred gas and, preferably to a VPSA method for the production of an oxygen-enriched product from air, using an oxygen-preferential adsorbent under equilibrium conditions. In a preferred embodiment the process uses a desorption purge at a nearly constant pressure that is selected to produce a steady stream of oxygen having a purity from 30% to 60% at a pressure in the range of 60 kPa to 20 kPa.
