The background art will be described with reference to PSA-oxygen, which is an oxygen production apparatus using the most commonly used nitrogen adsorbent in connection with the present invention.
Synthetic zeolite, which has been industrially produced by Linde (currently UOP Molecular Sieves. Division), has been shown to have large nitrogen adsorption and nitrogen selectivity in an oxygen-nitrogen binary system. . Here, the air is compressed to a high pressure of 500 to 1,000 kPa and led to an adsorption tower packed with Ca-A type zeolite as a nitrogen adsorbent.
% Adsorption of nitrogen from the top of the tower to adsorb 93% to 95 vol% oxygen, and after the adsorption tower saturated with adsorbed nitrogen is introduced to atmospheric pressure, a part of product oxygen is allowed to flow from the top of the tower. A two-column oxygen production apparatus composed of a process of regenerating the nitrogen adsorbent (countercurrent purge) is standard. (
High pressure adsorption-Regeneration at atmospheric pressure) Oxygen production in small and medium capacity of 2,000m 3 N / h or less is possible, so that operation and maintenance are easy and compact are welcomed by users, wastewater treatment, metal refining, It is widely used mainly for garbage incinerators and medical use. Power unit of PSA-oxygen (1m 3 N
Focusing on the reduction of the power consumption required for oxygen production), pressure adsorption-reduced pressure regeneration is adopted in which the adsorption pressure is reduced to a relatively low pressure of 300 to 500 kPa, and instead reduced pressure regeneration of about 50 kPa is adopted. In some cases. In order to reduce the power consumption rate by one stage, adsorption is performed near atmospheric pressure, and regeneration is performed by atmospheric pressure adsorption-regeneration under a considerable vacuum of 10 to 30 kPa. It is superior to the high-pressure adsorption-atmospheric pressure regeneration developed in 1 Initially, Ca ion exchange A-type zeolite was mainly used as the adsorbent, but in order to make the equipment compact by shortening the cycle time, an adsorbent with a high adsorption rate is required, so Na ion exchange, Li ion exchange X-type zeolite has been adopted.
However, in the oxygen production of 500 m 3 N / h or less, the reduction of the power consumption rate is not so effective for the reduction of the total cost of the oxygen production, and the reduction of the equipment cost is given priority.
For example, a 15 m 3 N / h oxygen production apparatus is illustrated as a medium capacity oxygen production apparatus. The equipment cost of high pressure adsorption-atmospheric pressure regeneration PSA-oxygen is about 7 million yen, and the power unit is 1 kWh /
Since it is m 3 N-O 2 , even if it is changed to atmospheric pressure adsorption-vacuum regeneration, the equipment cost is about 8 million yen, the power intensity is 0.45 kWh / m 3 N-O 2 ¥ 20 / kWh
If this is the case, the annual power cost reduction will be 66,000 yen / year, from 120,000 yen / year to 54,000 yen / year. It is shown that the reduction in power intensity emphasized by is not effective in small and medium volume oxygen production.

The nitrogen adsorption tower 4 is packed with 24 liters of honeycomb, which is washed with silica gel having a specific surface area of 700 m 2 / g or more as a moisture adsorbent 5 in the front, and as the nitrogen adsorption tower-filled nitrogen adsorbent 6 in the rear, It is filled with 71 liters of 1.2 mmφ Li ion exchange X-type zeolite (SiO 2 / Al 2 O 3 ratio 2.5).

About, it flows through the valve 7, the product oxygen tank 8, the valve 9, and the flow path 10 together with unadsorbed nitrogen and argon.

(Residual oxygen recovery process)
As the adsorption process proceeds, the nitrogen adsorption amount of the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 increases and the flow-over oxygen concentration decreases.
Immediately before the flow-over oxygen concentration decreases, the compressor 2 is stopped and the valves 3 and 7 are closed.
When the valve 11 is opened, oxygen remaining behind the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 is transferred to the auxiliary adsorption tower 13 filled with the auxiliary adsorption tower-filled nitrogen adsorbent 12 through the valve 11. The capacity of the auxiliary adsorption tower 13 is 30 liters, and 23 liters of the auxiliary adsorption tower packed nitrogen adsorbent 12 is filled therein. For this reason, the pressure of the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 is from 500 kPa-abs to 350.
The pressure is reduced to about kPa, and the pressure in the auxiliary adsorption tower 13 is increased to about 300 kPa. As the auxiliary adsorption tower packed nitrogen adsorbent 12 packed in the auxiliary adsorption tower 13, one type of X-type zeolite of Li ion exchange, Na ion exchange, and Ca ion exchange that selectively adsorbs nitrogen compared to oxygen is used. Two or more are preferably used. The recovery rate of oxygen in the aforementioned adsorption process is only about 40%, and the remaining 60% of oxygen remains as co-adsorbed oxygen in the dead volume of the adsorption tower and the nitrogen adsorbent, and the recovery of oxygen is so efficient. Is not expensive.
Here, when the high-pressure gas is transferred from the rear of the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 to the auxiliary adsorption tower 13, about 20% of the oxygen remaining in the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 is further recovered, and the total recovery rate reaches 60%.
In the auxiliary adsorption tower 13, nitrogen adsorption to the auxiliary adsorption tower packed nitrogen adsorbent 12 is more selective than oxygen adsorption. Therefore, nitrogen is selectively adsorbed on the auxiliary adsorption tower filled nitrogen adsorbent 12, and the dead volume portion The oxygen concentration increases.
This is very important for the supply of high-concentration oxygen to the rear of the column in the pressurization step described later.
The residual oxygen recovery process is completed in about 1-5 seconds.

(Reduced pressure regeneration process)
In the (residual oxygen recovery step), the pressure in the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 has decreased to about 350 kPa-abs. Therefore, the compressor 2 is continuously stopped, the valves 3, 7 and 11 are closed, and the valve 14 is opened. Then, the adsorbed nitrogen is desorbed from the nitrogen adsorbing tower packed nitrogen adsorbent 6, and the water is further desorbed from the water adsorbing agent 5 by the nitrogen flowing in the counterflow. It is regenerated and can again adsorb moisture, nitrogen, and CO 2 . Here, the pressure of the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 is reduced to 100 kPa-abs (atmospheric pressure). (Decompression regeneration step) is 5-10
Complete in seconds. During this time, the valve 7 is closed and the valve 9 is open (adsorption process)
Since the oxygen recovered in the above is stored in the product oxygen tank 8, oxygen flows continuously from the flow path 10 in all steps.

(Pressure increase process)
If only the valve 11 behind the nitrogen adsorption tower of 100 kPa-abs (atmospheric pressure) is opened (valve 3, valve 7 and valve 14 are closed), the oxygen concentration in the dead volume portion is first relatively increased from the auxiliary adsorption tower 13. Gas is supplied from the rear of the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 to the nitrogen adsorption tower 4, and then the oxygen adsorbed from the auxiliary adsorption tower packed nitrogen adsorbent 12 and the coadsorbed nitrogen are released to increase the supply oxygen concentration. A high concentration of oxygen is supplied behind the adsorption tower. For this reason, the nitrogen adsorption tower 4
The oxygen concentration distribution in the column is such that the oxygen concentration in the front of the tower is low at the start of the adsorption process and the oxygen concentration distribution in the rear of the tower is high, so that oxygen and nitrogen can be efficiently separated from the air. The pressure in the nitrogen adsorption tower 4 increases from 100 kPa-abs to 200 kPa-abs. (The pressure in the auxiliary adsorption tower 13 decreases from 300 kPa to 200 kPa, which is substantially the same pressure as the nitrogen adsorption tower 4.)
The boosting process is completed in about 3-5 seconds.
Since the residual oxygen recovered in the auxiliary adsorption tower 13 in the (residual oxygen recovery process) is used for pressure increase in (pressure increase process), 1) the oxygen recovery rate is improved, and 2) the oxygen concentration behind the nitrogen adsorption tower Can be maintained at a high concentration to improve the oxygen / nitrogen separation efficiency, and 3) a smooth increase in the adsorption pressure can be achieved simultaneously.

0 kPa-abs, 1 cycle 39 seconds, as nitrogen adsorbent, nitrogen adsorption tower 4, auxiliary adsorption tower 1
All three were operated using Li ion-exchanged X-type zeolite to separate oxygen and nitrogen from air, producing oxygen of 170 liters N / min (5-10 m 3 N / h), and oxygen concentration of 90 vol.
% Was confirmed, but the feed rate of raw material air at this time was 1,210 liters N / min. As a comparison object, the auxiliary adsorption tower 13 is not used, the residual oxygen recovery step and the pressure increase are omitted, and for the pressure increase, the product oxygen from the downstream product oxygen tank 8 is used, and the oxygen of one tower PSA-oxygen is used.
