Abstract
A pressure-varying adsorption process for preparing high-concentration oxygen from air includes passing the dried air through serially connected the first adsorption unit filled by zeolite molecular sieve and the second adsorption unit filled by carbon molecular sieve, introducing the gas that is not adsorbed by the first unit to the second unit, exhausting the gas that is desorbed by the first unit to atmosphere, introducing the gas that is not adsorbed by the second unit to oxygen-enriched tank, homogenizing the pressure between the gas that is desorbed by the second unit and the first adsorption unit, and collecting the gas that is desorbed into oxygen-enriched tank. One oil-free air compressor is only needed.
Description
The present invention relates to the air method that to be raw material produce high-concentration oxygen with pressure swing adsorption process (following represent with PSA).
Usually from air, obtain oxygen rich gas dual mode is arranged by the PSA method, the one, adopt zeolite molecular sieve as sorbent material, can obtain concentration and reach 95% oxygen rich gas, another way is to adopt carbonaceous molecular sieve as sorbent material, can only obtain the oxygen rich gas of concentration 80%.Compare with the oxygen that Deep Cooling Method obtains,, it is restricted in the application aspect a lot of because the oxygen concentration that it provided is not high enough.
Airborne main component is nitrogen, oxygen, argon gas, carbonic acid gas and water vapour.The psa process that adopts zeolite molecular sieve at present is to rely on the equilibrium adsorption capacity difference of each component to carry out isolating, because the equilibrium adsorption volume ratio nitrogen of oxygen is little a lot, therefore oxygen can be separated from nitrogen fully, moisture and carbonic acid gas also can effectively be removed by molecular sieve simultaneously.But zeolite molecular sieve is little to the equilibrium adsorption capacity difference of oxygen and argon gas, therefore, in the oxygen rich gas in the ratio of oxygen and argon gas and the feeding air ratio of oxygen and argon gas identical, have 5% argon gas from oxygen rich gas, not remove all the time.The psa process of the carbonaceous molecular sieve that adopts is the diameter difference that relies on molecule at present, so their rate of diffusion differences in carbonaceous molecular sieve are carried out isolating.Because oxygen molecule is faster than nitrogen molecule and argon molecules in the rate of diffusion of carbonaceous molecular sieve inside, so oxygen can be separated from nitrogen and argon gas.If, just may take out the oxygen of high density by the PSA legal system with the use that is together in series of zeolite molecular sieve and carbonaceous molecular sieve.
Getting high oxygen concentration by the PSA legal system from air is one of up-to-date in the world oxygenerating technology, since the eighties, the U.S., Japan, industrially developed country such as West Europe have carried out the research work of this respect in succession, as U.S. Pat 4,880,443, English Patent GB2,218,923, German patent DE 3,402,533, the patent EP163 of the European Community, 242, the flat 1-274822 of Japanese Patent, Chinese patent CN1,031,358 etc., but these patent great majority adopt two kinds of propulsion source equipment, are generally gas blower (or air compressor machine) and oilless vacuum pump (or not having oily force (forcing) pump), equipment is complicated, has limited this The Application of Technology.An oilless air compressor is only adopted in the present technique invention, by adopting unique flow process, just can produce out the oxygen of high density.
Therefore, the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of with less equipment, lower laid down cost, better simply operating process, the method for producing high-concentration oxygen with the PSA method.
Main points of the present invention are a kind of methods of being produced high-concentration oxygen with pressure swing adsorption process by air, the first step absorbing unit 1 (comprising two adsorption towers) that is filled with zeolite molecular sieve is together in series with the second stage absorbing unit 2 (comprising two adsorption towers) that is filled with carbonaceous molecular sieve, will be through the exsiccant air successively by the two-stage absorbing unit, it is characterized in that, the gas that first step absorbing unit does not adsorb is introduced second stage absorbing unit, the gas of first step absorbing unit desorb is entered atmosphere, the gas that second stage absorbing unit does not adsorb is introduced oxygen enriched product storage tank 3, the gas of second stage absorbing unit desorb is all pressed with first step absorbing unit earlier, and then with the collection and confinement of gases of desorb thereafter in product oxygen storage tank 4.
