- the present invention has been conceived under such circumstances, and provides a target gas separation method capable of achieving a high target gas recovery rate in the PSA method. aimed to.
- a method for separating a target gas from a mixed gas using a plurality of adsorption towers filled with an adsorbent In this method, a mixed gas is introduced into one selected adsorption tower, unnecessary components contained in the mixed gas are adsorbed by an adsorbent, and a product gas enriched in a target gas is derived from the adsorption tower.
- Each cycle includes a washing step for discharging the exhaust gas from the adsorption tower, and a pressure increasing step for increasing the internal pressure of the adsorption tower by introducing a pressurized gas into the adsorption tower. It is repeated.
- the first derived gas derived from the adsorption tower during the first depressurization step is introduced as a cleaning gas into the adsorption tower during the cleaning step, and the second derived gas derived from the adsorption tower during the second decompression step is pressurized. It is introduced into the adsorption tower during the process as pressurized gas.
- the product gas is used as the cleaning gas for cleaning the adsorption tower or the adsorbent during the cleaning process. Focusing only on the regeneration efficiency (cleaning efficiency) of the adsorbent, the product gas with a lower concentration of undesired components is more likely to be the quasi-product gas remaining in the adsorption tower after the adsorption process (the target gas concentration than the product gas). It is considered to be more suitable as a cleaning gas than a low gas. However, since a considerable amount of cleaning gas is required to clean the adsorption tower, supplying the cleaning gas with only the product gas will increase the loss of the target gas.
- the depressurization step of the other adsorption tower is completed at a predetermined relatively high pressure, and a considerable amount of the target gas together with unnecessary components is not contained in the other adsorption tower after the depressurization step. Despite the presence, the residual target gas is released to the atmosphere in the desorption step after the pressure reduction step.

- the concentration of unnecessary components of the gas derived from the adsorption tower tends to be kept relatively low.
- the present inventors have obtained the following knowledge. Specifically, even if the unnecessary components are once desorbed from the adsorbent due to the pressure drop in the adsorption tower during the depressurization step, the adsorbent in the tower still has enough room to adsorb the unnecessary components.
- the pressure of the adsorption tower to be depressurized exceeds the pressure assumed at the end of the depressurization process conventionally assumed.
- the concentration of unnecessary components of the gas led out from the adsorption tower can be kept relatively low.
- the product gas from the adsorption tower in the first decompression step is close to the product gas!
- one cycle of the method comprises the following steps: Including an additional pressure step to further increase the internal pressure of the adsorption tower by introducing the gas, a part of the product gas derived from the adsorption tower during the adsorption step is added to the adsorption tower during the additional pressure step Introduced as pressurized gas.
- Such a configuration is particularly useful when the internal pressure of the adsorption tower during the pressure raising step is increased by utilizing pressure equalization between the adsorption tower during the pressure raising step and the adsorption tower during the second pressure reduction step. There is. According to this configuration, a pressure increase, which cannot be achieved only by equalization, can be achieved by introducing a high-pressure product gas having a high target gas concentration.
- one cycle of the method includes, after the cleaning step, an additional cleaning step for introducing additional cleaning gas into the adsorption tower and discharging exhaust gas from the adsorption tower, Some of the derived product gas is introduced as additional cleaning gas into the adsorption tower during the additional cleaning process.
- Cleaning with product gas in addition to cleaning with semi-product gas, is suitable for improving the efficiency of adsorbent regeneration.
- the first intermediate pressure is preferably 35 to 80%, more preferably It is in the range of 35-65%.
- the second intermediate pressure is preferably in the range 15% to 50%, more preferably in the range 15% to 40%.

- the first depressurization step (the washing step for the adsorption tower in the washing step) is performed until the first intermediate pressure of the adsorption tower becomes about half of the maximum pressure of the adsorption step, and the second intermediate pressure of the adsorption tower becomes the first intermediate pressure.
- the mixed gas contains hydrogen gas as a target gas and carbon dioxide gas as an unnecessary component.
- the mixed gas to which the present invention is applied is not particularly limited, but the present invention is suitably applied when the mixed gas contains hydrogen gas as a target gas and carbon dioxide gas as an unnecessary component. I know I can.
- the maximum pressure of the adsorption step is, for example, 0.5 to :! OMPa (gauge pressure) is set within the range, and the desorption minimum pressure in the desorption process is, for example, 0 to 500 kPa (gauge pressure). Pressure).
