Abstract

974,639. Cold separation of air. BRITISH OXYGEN CO. Ltd. May 13, 1963 [May 29, 1962], No. 20693/62. Heading F4P. In a two-stage air rectification process for the production of gas containing between 60 and 70% oxygen wherein compressed air is cooled to saturation temperature and freed from condensible impurities in an exchanger 1, Fig. 1, a first liquid fraction containing appreciably less than 60% oxygen is withdrawn from the base of the second rectification column 4 and is partially vaporized in an exchanger 6 warmed by gaseous nitrogen from the head of the first column 2 to produce a second liquid fraction containing 60-70% oxygen which is vaporized in exchanger 1 and into an oxygen-beam gaseous fraction which is returned to the second column 4 whilst nitrogen condensed in exchanger 6 is fed as reflux to both columns 2, 4. The oxygen-rich mixture of liquid and gas produced in exchanger 6 is separated in a chamber 7 and the liquid is expanded in a valve 8 prior to vaporization in exchanger 1. In a modification feed air is cooled in one or other alternating regenerators 12, 13, Fig. 2, from which a side stream is withdrawn and cooled in an exchanger 18 traversed by a portion of nitrogen effluent withdrawn from the first column 14 to which the combined air stream is fed and from which oxygencontaining liquid is withdrawn and expanded at a valve 16, into the second column 17. Liquid further enriched in oxygen is withdrawn from column 17 and is partially evaporated in an exchanger 20 warmed by nitrogen effluent from column 14 and following separation in a vessel 23 liquid containing 60-70% oxygen is expanded at a valve 25 into an inner portion of the column 14 where it is vaporized and discharged as product through regenerator 12.
