7. method according to claim 6, is characterized in that: described main air enters main heat exchanger (E1), and through heat exchange, unstripped gas is lowered the temperature or after partial liquefaction, entered the bottom of high-pressure tower (T1), carry out preliminary rectifying separation; Wherein be rich in the volatile components of nitrogen along tower height upwards, gaseous stream stock is drawn at high-pressure tower (T1) tower top, enter in condenser/evaporator (E4), carry out partial condensation, the decompression after a supercooler (E2) is excessively cold of condensed liquid stream enters in the middle part of lower pressure column and continues rectifying.
8. method according to claim 6, it is characterized in that: the incoming stock decompressor of described secondary air flow (EXP1), after step-down cooling, with high-pressure tower tower bottoms, all enter lower pressure column (T2) middle part, using high-pressure tower (T1) overhead condensation liquid air-flow as trim the top of column liquid, carry out the rectifying of lower pressure column (T2), the methane-rich liquid of lower pressure column tower reactor enters condenser/evaporator (E4) side, the rich nitrogen of the high pressure tower top that vaporizer (E4) opposite side that is condensed is heated to part evaporation, evaporation section is as the upflowing vapor of lower pressure column, non-evaporation section draws air-flow from condenser/evaporator (E4) side, through supercooler cross cold after as product liquify natural gas.
9. method according to claim 6, it is characterized in that in process that other part cold can be freezed by azeotrope compression cycle provide or nitrogen expansion mechanism cold circulates and provides.
10. method according to claim 6, it is characterized in that lower pressure column pressure is more than 0.01MPa, high-pressure tower pressure is more than 0.4MPa.
