Abstract

833,052. Cold separation of gas mixtures. KELLOGG CO., M. W. May 8, 1957 [May 21, 1956], No. 14635/57. Class 8(2). Separation of a gas mixture into low and high boiling point fractions, e.g. a 70 : 30 methanehydrogen mixture and a mixture of C 2 and C 3 hydrocarbons is effected in a column 12 from the lowest zone 19 of which the high boiling liquid fraction leaves through a duct 29 and from a higher zone 46 the methane-hydrogen gas mixture leaves through a duct 49 is partially condensed in exchangers 51, 52 and the condensed portion is expanded isenthalpically in a throttling valve 75 and the so cooled gas serves to cool and partially condense in the heat exchangers 51, 52, unexpanded methanehydrogen gas leaving the zone 46 through the duct 49; the so condensed unexpanded mixture being returned to a separation zone 56 through ducts 57, 58. Gas mixture also passes from zone 56 through a duct 62 and after being warmed in a heat exchanger 65 is expanded and partly liquefied in a valve 63. The liquefied portion is refracted in a drum 64 and the gaseous portion in a duct 68 traverses heat exchanger 51. The feed gas is partially separated in a zone 13 from near the base of which a liquid fraction leaves through a duct 14 and after being vaporized in propane-heated exchanger 16 is fed through a duct 20 to the zone 19. A similar exchanger 24 is located near the base of zone 19 whereas between zones 13, 36 and 36, 46 are located ethylene-cooled exchangers 32, 42 which serve to partially condense gaseous mixtures passing from the upper parts of the zones 13, 36 to the lower parts of zones 36, 46.
