Abstract

874,001. Cold separation of air. UNION CARBIDE CORPORATION. June 30, 1959 No. 22466/59. Class 8(2). In a three stage air rectification process wherein incomming compressed air in a duct 12 is cooled in exchangers 14, 21 by cold effluent nitrogen to about the condensation temperature of oxygen, at least the major position of the cold wet air is fed through a duct 27 to the highest pressure column 59, nitrogen-rich liquid collecting on a shelf 63 therein is throttled at a valve 66 and is fed to the lowest pressure column 37 as reflux, oxygen-rich liquid from the base of column 59 is throttled at a valve 42 and is supplied as feed to the ihtermediate prsesure column 62, and oxygen-rich liquid and nitrogen-rich liquid from the column 62 are throttled at valves 64a, 49 respectively and supplied through ducts 41a, 45 as feed and reflux to the lowest pressure column 37 ; product liquid oxygen being withdrawn through a duct 50 and effluent nitrogen through a duct 55 leading to the exchangers 21, 14. Argonrich oxygen gas is withdrawn 'from column 37 through a duct 65a leading to an argon column 66a from which crude argon is withdrawn through a duct 73 and liquid oxygen is returned through a duct 74 to the column 37. Extra cold is provided by an ammonia-cooled exchanger 16b and by expansion of about half the so called air stream in an engine 18 and residual impurities are removed in a scrubber 25 and in filters 36a. The effluent nitrogen serves to subcool liquid nitrogen in an exchanger 48 prior to expansion in valves 49, 66. In a modification the liquid oxygen product is forced by a pump 151 Fig. 2, (not shown) through ducts in the air-cooling exchangers from which it is discharged as high pressure gas. In a further modification product oxygen gas from the lowest pressure column 237 Fig. 3, (not shown) serves to sub-cool oxygenrich liquid passing from the first to the third column and then serves to cool a regenerator which together with a nitrogen regenerator serves to cool incoming compressed air. Residual impurities are removed by a silica-gel trap.
