摘要:
The present provides a helium gas separation and recovery process involving cryogenic fractionation process, which comprises cooling a dehydrated high-pressure gas stream while maintain velocity and pressure of the stream; reducing pressure of the dehydrated high-pressure gas stream via a Joule-Thompson's process to obtain a partially liquefied gas stream; and iii) subjecting the partially liquefied gas stream to at least one gas-liquid separation process to obtain at least one liquid stream and a gaseous stream comprising helium, and a residual amount of the gaseous components; recycling the liquid stream obtained in step iii) for use as cooling refrigerant to cool the dehydrated high-pressure gas stream; and purifying the unrefined helium gas stream using pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and/or membrane separation process to obtain a helium product stream having a purity of 98.0 mole % or more.
摘要:
The present invention relates a process and apparatus that recovers a helium rich stream from a mixed gas having low concentrations of helium therein. More specifically, the invention relates to an integrated process and apparatus for treating a mixed feed gas from an operating process that produces a fluid product from natural gas containing helium, such as processes that produce ammonia, methanol, or liquid hydrocarbons.
摘要:
A process and apparatus for increasing recovery of helium are described. The process includes introducing the stream containing helium and at least one oxidizable component into an oxidation zone in the presence of oxygen to oxidize the oxidizable component forming a first vapor stream and a first liquid stream. The first vapor stream is introduced into a pressure swing adsorption zone to form a purified helium stream and a tail gas stream. The tail gas stream is compressed. The compressed tail gas stream is introduced into a membrane separation zone to form a helium rich permeate stream and a retentate stream. The helium rich permeate stream is compressed and introduced into the oxidation system.

The invention relates to a process for the recovery and recycling of the iodine from aqueous solutions comprising iodine-comprising aromatic compounds in which the iodine contained in said aromatic compounds is directly converted into molecular iodine at a pH lower than 1, in the absence of a catalyst.
摘要:
A method of removing buffer gas from a mixture comprising the buffer gas and hyperpolarized noble gas is described. The method includes reacting the buffer gas to produce a reaction product different to the buffer gas. The buffer gas may be reactively removed by one or more of oxidation, reduction, polymerization and binding reactions with solid surfaces. The buffer gas may be molecular hydrogen and/or molecular nitrogen. Apparatus for carrying out the method are also disclosed.

摘要:
This invention is directed to a method for recovering, purifying and recycling an inert gas on a continual basis in connection with a silicon crystal pulling process. Silicon oxide impurities generated during the crystal growth process are completely oxidized by in-situ oxidation with a regulated amount of an oxidizing source gas mixture to form silicon dioxide impurities, which can be removed by a particulate removal device. The particulate-free effluent enters a purification unit to remove the remaining impurities. The inert gas emerging from the purification unit can be fed back into the crystal puller apparatus and/or mixed with the oxidizing source gas mixture. As a result, the ability to increase silicon crystal throughput, quality and at the same time reduce the costs associated with recycling the inert gas can be achieved.

摘要:
A process for producing a purified gaseous product from a gaseous feedstream such as air containing impurities is disclosed. The impurities such as hydrogen, water vapor, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are removed from the gaseous feedstream in a vessel having layers of adsorbents and oxidation catalysts. The placement of the hydrogen to water vapor conversion catalyst downstream of the step of contacting the feedstream with a catalyst to convert the carbon monoxide to the carbon dioxide and the step of removing the carbon dioxide from the feedstream improves not only performance but also the economies of the purification system.
摘要:
An argon gas stream containing hydrogen, carbon monoxide, water vapor, oxygen carbon dioxide, nitrogen and methane is purified by drying the gas stream with a desiccant, oxidizing the hydrogen and carbon dioxide to water vapor and carbon dioxide by contact with oxidizing catalysts in the presence of excess oxygen, removing the water vapor and carbon dioxide from the gas stream by adsorption, removing excess oxygen by chemisorption at elevated temperature and removing the nitrogen and methane by adsorption at cryogenic temperature. Alternatively, excess oxygen is removed from the gas stream by adsorption at a cryogenic temperature.
