摘要:
A process is set forth for the removal of carbon dioxide from air in an adsorption bed wherein the regeneration energy is reduced by the use of a heat recuperator and a purge sequence which avoids the removal of heat from the adsorption bed during regeneration.
摘要:
Multicomponent gas mixtures containing: (1) hydrogen as the primary component, (2) a secondary key component that is more strongly sorbed by the adsorbent than hydrogen, and (3) a minor quantity of one or more dilute tertiary components less strongly sorbed than the secondary key component, are subject to selective adsorption in an adiabatic pressure swing adsorption (PSA) cycle for the separate recovery of high purity hydrogen and the secondary component. A given example is the treatment of the effluent gas from a shift converter in a hydrocarbon reformer plant, wherein hydrogn and carbon dioxide are separately recovered as key components substantially freed of minor dilute components such as methane, carbon monoxide and nitrogen.
摘要:
Nitrogen is economically recovered from the flue gas evolved in a hydrocarbon steam reforming furnace by hydrogenation of free oxygen therein and removal of carbon dioxide and other minor impurities from the flue gas by pressure swing adsorption with recovery of high purity nitrogen as unsorbed effluent. The process is utilized to highest advantage in the production of ammonia syngas wherein natural gas or other hydrocarbon feed is subjected to steam reforming in a fuel-fired furnace. The nitrogen obtained by purification of the flue gas is combined with the purified hydrogen separated from the reformate providing the syngas for conversion to ammonia. In a preferred embodiment, the steam reforming is carried out in two stages, the first stage being performed in a conventional fuel-fired steam reforming furnace to which a major portion of the fresh hydrocarbon feed is charged. The hot effluent from this first reforming stage is employed as the heating medium to support reforming of the remaining minor portion of the fresh feed by heat exchange therewith.

摘要:
An improved pressure swing adsorption process is disclosed for the recovery of two individual components from a multicomponent gas mixture. The process utilizes a first group of adsorbent beds selective for the secondary component product and a second group of beds selective for tertiary impurities in the mixture. The gas mixture is passed through the first and second beds in series and high purity primary component product is discharged from the second beds. The secondary component product is recovered by desorption from the first beds. Product recovery is improved by recycling depressurization gas from the first beds and by several novel pressure equalization steps. The process can be used to recover high-purity hydrogen and carbon dioxide from a gas mixture containing these components along with minor amounts of methane, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen.
摘要:
High purity methane and carbon dioxide are recovered from landfill gas in an integrated multi-column adsorption system having a temperature swing adsorption section (TSA) for pretreatment of the crude landfill gas to remove trace impurities therefrom, the thus cleaned gas being fed to a pressure swing adsorption section (PSA) for bulk separation of CO.sub.2 from methane. Regeneration of the impurity-laden adsorbent bed of the TSA section is carried out using part of the CO.sub.2 product gas recovered from the PSA section which gas is heated to thermal regeneration temperature.
摘要:
Argon is recovered from a gas stream comprising the same in admixture with oxygen and nitrogen, by a vacuum swing adsorption (VSA) process wherein the mixed gas is passed through an adsorbent bed having thermodynamic selectivity for adsorption of nitrogen and the unadsorbed portion then passed through a second adsorbent bed having kinetic selectivity for retaining oxygen. Both adsorbent beds are regenerated by vacuum desorption, applied to the first bed for a longer time period than that of the second bed. Further purification of the recovered argon may be carried out, if desired, by catalytic hydrogenation of residual oxygen therein. The mixed gas stream fed to the VSA unit may be that obtained from the crude argon column associated with a cryogenic air separation plant and the waste gas from the VSA unit may be recycled to the main column of the cryogenic air separation plant, thus enhancing argon recovery.
摘要:
Techniques for performing traffic classification for uplink and bi-directional traffic streams are described. A station receives packets for transmission on the uplink to an access point. The station identifies packets for each uplink traffic stream and packets for each bi-directional traffic stream based on at least one classification parameter for each traffic stream. The station sends packets for each traffic stream in accordance with at least one QoS parameter for the traffic stream. The access point receives packets for transmission on the downlink to at least one station. The access point identifies packets for each downlink traffic stream and packets for each bi-directional traffic stream based on at least one classification parameter for each traffic stream. The access point sends packets for each traffic stream in accordance with at least one QoS parameter for the traffic stream.
