Description

The device of argon gas is extracted in a kind of natural gas
Technical field
The utility model relates to gas component and is separated, and more particularly the utility model relates to a kind of device utilizing Full distillation to extract argon gas from natural gas.
Background technology
The aerial content of argon gas is 0.93%, and helium is 5.2ppm.Helium in atmosphere content very little, normally extracts from natural gas.And in atmosphere, argon content ranking the 3rd, rich content, it is convenient to extract, and all adopts air to be raw material so argon gas extracts.Present more than 10,000 large empty dividing were typically equipped with Full distillation Argon recovery subsystem.Common flow process is: air is compressed to required pressure through air compressor machine, removes carbon dioxide, water and hydrocarbon partial through precooling purifying.Be divided into two parts before entering ice chest, a part enters turbo-expander end and is pressurized to 0.65 ~ 0.8MPa, is then cooled to 20 DEG C through cooler, enters after main heat exchanger is cooled to-120 DEG C ~-140 DEG C, enter expander to slightly higher than upper tower pressure, enter Shang Ta.Another part air is through main heat exchanger and the gas that backflowed is cooled to liquefaction, start to be separated after entering lower tower, the air entering lower tower bottom passes column plate and carries out caloic exchange with the phegma on column plate, such result is, obtain pure nitrogen gas on Xia Ta top, obtain oxygen-enriched liquid air at tower Fu.Lower top of tower overwhelming majority nitrogen enters the condensation side of condenser/evaporator, and nitrogen is by releasing heat the evaporation of the liquid oxygen of upper tower bottom there, self obtains condensation and as lower tower phegma.Part liquid nitrogen is also had after the mistake of subcooler is cold, to be sent to upper top of tower, the phegma of top of tower on work.Excessively cold through subcooler of the oxygen-enriched liquid air extracted out from the tower Fu of lower tower, enters tower top as upper tower phegma after throttling.Oxygen product finally produces in upper tower rectifying, extracts oxygen out and enters main heat exchanger, go out device and send as gas product after oxygen re-heat from upper tower bottom.Pure nitrogen gas is extracted out from upper top of tower, first in subcooler by pure liquid nitrogen and oxygen-enriched liquid air re-heat, then enter in main heat exchanger and go out device after re-heat.Draw dirty nitrogen from upper tower top, through subcooler, main heat exchanger re-heat to 21 DEG C cooling box, then enter electric heater as regenerating molecular sieve gas, excessive gas emptying.In the middle part of upper tower, extract a certain amount of argon fraction send into crude argon column, crude argon column is structurally divided into two sections, and the phegma bottom second segment argon column sends into first paragraph top as phegma through liquor pump, obtains purity and is about 98.5%Ar, 2ppmO through crude argon column rectifying 2crude argon, send in the middle part of pure argon column through liquefier post liquefaction, bottom pure argon column, obtain seminal fluid argon through pure argon column rectifying.The advantage of the method is argon abundant raw material, and extraction cost is low.But although argon content is enriched in air, argon also has multiple isotope, stable coordination have argon-40 ( 40ar) natural content 99.6%, argon-36 ( 36ar) natural content 0.34% and argon-38 ( 38ar) natural content 0.06%.And the argon-39 of the instability to generate via cosmic-ray bombardment argon-40 ( 39ar), so, be limited to the argon gas impact in air, its argon isotope cannot be separated, its radiation can affect the requirement of the special occasions such as laboratory to argon gas, especially, now during a lot of laboratory situations requirement several part per billion impurity content, air is that the argon gas of raw material obviously can not meet its requirement.
