    摘要: A method and apparatus of producing high purity oxygen in connection with low purity liquid oxygen produced by a plurality of cryogenic air separation plants. The low purity liquid oxygen from the air separation plants is introduced into a distillation column of an auxiliary cryogenic rectification plant that is reboiled by nitrogen also produced by the air separation plants. Nitrogen is separated from the low purity liquid oxygen to produce high purity liquid oxygen from residual liquid located in a bottom region of the distillation column that can be taken as a product. Optionally, an argon column can be connected to the distillation column to produce a liquid argon product stream.

    摘要: The process is used for the recovery of krypton and/or xenon by low-temperature separation of air. Compressed and purified feed air (1, 1A, 1B, 29) is introduced into a rectification system for nitrogen-oxygen separation, which has a high-pressure column (2) and a low-pressure column (3). An oxygen-rich liquid (42) is removed at a first point from the low-pressure column (3). At least a first portion (43) of the oxygen-rich liquid (42) is re-introduced in the low-pressure column at a second point, whereby a mass exchange section (44) is arranged between the first and second points on the low-pressure column. An additional liquid (35) is drawn off from a third point of the low-pressure column (3), which is arranged at the level of the second point or below it, said liquid introduced into the evaporation chamber of a first condenser-evaporator (4) and partially evaporated there. A krypton- and xenon-containing fraction (138) is drawn off from the evaporation chamber of a first condenser-evaporator and introduced into the evaporation chamber of a second condenser-evaporator (27). A krypton-xenon concentrate (125) is drawn off from the second condenser-evaporator (27).

    摘要: Oxygen-containing gas comprising no more than about 50 mol % oxygen is fed (150) to an auxiliary separation column (40) in a multiple column cryogenic air distillation system comprising at least a higher pressure (“HP”) column (10) and a lower pressure (“LP”) column (30) for separation into nitrogen-rich overhead vapor and oxygen-rich liquid. Oxygen-rich liquid is fed (154) from the auxiliary column (40) to an intermediate location in the LP column (30). The auxiliary column (40) is refluxed with a liquid stream from or derived from the HP column (10). One advantage of the invention is that the diameter of the upper sections (II, III) of the LP column (30) need no longer be larger than the diameter of the rest of the column system thereby increasing the capacity of the column system (under the constraint of a defined maximum column section diameter).

    摘要: The process and the apparatus serve for producing pressurized oxygen and krypton/xenon by low-temperature fractionation of air. The rectifying system has a low-pressure column (3) for the nitrogen-oxygen separation and a krypton-xenon enrichment column (15). Compressed and prepurified feed air (4) is introduced into the rectifying system. A first oxygen fraction (11) is taken off from the low-pressure column (3), brought (12) to an elevated pressure in the liquid state, vaporized and removed as gaseous pressurized oxygen product (24). In addition, a second oxygen fraction (16) is taken off from the low-pressure column (3) and passed (18) into the lower or central region of the krypton-xenon enrichment column (15). The first oxygen fraction (11) is taken off at least one actual or theoretical plate above the bottom of the low-pressure column (3) and, after the pressure elevation (12) is introduced (14) in the liquid state into the upper region of the krypton-xenon enrichment column (15). A krypton-enriched and/or xenon-enriched fraction (19) is taken off from the lower region of the krypton-xenon enrichment column (15). The pressurized oxygen product (24) is withdrawn in the gaseous state from the upper region of the krypton-xenon enrichment column (15).
