    摘要: A method for the purification of argon through simple steps with low energy consumption. Oxygen is added to argon gas containing nitrogen, carbon monoxide, oxygen, and methane as impurities, and carbon monoxide is oxidized carbon dioxide in a carbon monoxide oxidation column (31) in the presence of a catalyst. Hydrogen is added to the argon gas, and oxygen is reacted with hydrogen in a deoxo column (33) in the presence of a catalyst to conduct conversion to water. The carbon dioxide and water are removed from the argon gas in a carbon removal/drying unit (50) using an adsorbent. The resultant argon gas is cooled in a main heat exchanger (60) or the like for liquefaction. The formed liquid is then introduced into a rectifying column (70), where rectification is conducted by using the reflux composed mainly of argon. Nitrogen-enriched argon gas is separated from a head (76) of the rectifying column, while methane-enriched liquid argon is separated from a bottom (77), and high-purity argon gas is recovered from a gas phase in a middle stage.

    摘要: A method of and an apparatus for manufacturing high-purity air and various kinds of gases obtained by using air as a raw material which are used for semiconductor manufacturing industries, which method and apparatus are capable of providing as products high-purity air, high-purity nitrogen and oxygen-enriched air at once. Raw air is compressed to 3-10 Kg/cm G and introduced into a catalyst tower (8), and the carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons and hydrogen in the raw air are converted into carbon dioxide and water. The catalyst-reacted temperature-increased air is cooled and then introduced into adsorption towers (12a, 12b) in which carbon dioxide, water and other impurities are adsorption-removed. A part of the refined air obtained is drawn out as high-purity product air, and the remaining part thereof is introduced into a primary heat exchanger (18) and cooled substantially to a liquefication temperature. The resultant air is introduced into a simple rectification tower (19) and subjected to liquefication rectification, and high-purity nitrogen is drawn out from the top portion of the tower (19) and extracted as a product through the primary heat exchanger (18). Meanwhile, oxygen-enriched liquefied air is drawn out from the bottom portion of the simple rectification tower (19), introduced into a condensation evaporator (24), gasified, drawn out therefrom, introduced into the primary heat exchanger (18), and subjected to a temperature increasing operation. After the temperature of the gas has reached to an intermediate level, the gas is drawn out and introduced into an expansion turbine (35), in which the gas is expanded and cooled to generate cold. After the cold has recovered, it is extracted as refined oxygen-enriched air.
