    摘要: An air prepurification process carried out in a battery of three adsorption vessels arranged in parallel. The process includes three steps: a first step in which non-steady state PSA is carried out in the first and second vessels operated in alternating adsorption and bed regeneration mode while the adsorbent in the third vessel undergoes thermal regeneration; a second step in which non-steady state PSA is carried out in the second and third vessels operated in alternating adsorption and bed regeneration modes while the adsorbent in the first vessel undergoes thermal regeneration; and a third step in which non-steady state PSA is carried out in the first and third vessels operated in alternating adsorption and bed regeneration modes while the adsorbent in the second vessel undergoes thermal regeneration. Each vessel contains at least two adsorbent layers, including a first layer of activated alumina, which adsorbs substantially all moisture and some carbon dioxide from the feed air, and a second layer of zeolite, which adsorbs substantially all of the remaining carbon dioxide in the feed air. The feed air may be passed through beds of hydrogen oxidation and carbon monoxide oxidation catalysts positioned between the first and second layers, to convert any hydrogen and carbon monoxide in the feed air to water vapor and carbon dioxide, respectively, these components being removed from the feed air as it passes through the layer of zeolite.

    摘要: Process for preparing ultra-pure nitrogen containing less than 100 ppb (parts per billion) impurities, characterized in that at least the impurities consisting of carbon monoxide (CO) and/or hydrogen (H.sub.2) are removed by passing the gas from which at least one of these two components has to be removed, over a bed of particles including a metallic element namely copper (Cu) and/or ruthenium (Ru) and/or rhodium (Rh) and/or palladium (Pd) and/or osmium (Os) and/or iridium (Ir) and/or platinum (Pt) supported on a particulate support, by the technique of ion exchange and/or by the technique of impregnation. This technique enables to produce ultra-pure nitrogen by using it either with nitrogen obtained by distillation, or air to be distilled as an additional step for the removal of CO.sub.2 and H.sub.2 O. A device for carrying out the process constitutes another object of the invention.

    摘要: A cryogenic air separation method and apparatus in which first and second liquid streams are produced. The first liquid stream has a higher oxygen content than air and can consist of a higher pressure distillation column bottoms and the second liquid stream, for instance, air, has a lower oxygen content than the first liquid stream and an argon content no less than the air. The second liquid stream is subcooled through indirect heat exchange with the first liquid stream and both of such streams are introduced into the lower pressure column. The second liquid stream is introduced into the lower pressure column above that point at which the crude liquid oxygen column bottoms or any portion thereof is introduced into the lower pressure column to increase a liquid to vapor ratio below the introduction of the second liquid stream and therefore, reduce the oxygen present within the column overhead.
