Definitions
- This invention relates to the production of a krypton-xenon concentrate and is an improvement whereby the krypton-xenon concentrate is produced at high efficiency and a gaseous oxygen product substantially free of rare gases is also produced.
- Krypton and xenon are undergoing increasing demand in a number of applications.
- Krypton is being widely used in high quality lighting including long-life light bulbs and automotive lamps.
- Xenon is being used for medical applications including special x-ray equipment. Both of these gases are commonly used in many laboratory and research applications.
- krypton and xenon The principle source of krypton and xenon is the atmosphere. Atmospheric air contains about 1.1 ppm (parts per million) of krypton and about 0.08 ppm of xenon. Generally, krypton and xenon are recovered from the air in conjunction with a comprehensive air separation process which separates air into oxygen and nitrogen.
- a process for the production of a krypton-xenon concentrate and the recovery of a gaseous product substantially free of rare gases comprising:
- rare gas means krypton and xenon.
- the terms “lean”, “leaner”, “rich” and “richer”, refer to the concentration of rare gases, unless specifically indicated otherwise.
- heating zone means a heat exchange zone where entering liquid is indirectly heated and thereby partially vaporized to produce gas and remaining liquid. The remaining liquid is thereby enriched in the less volatile components present in the entering liquid.
- directly heat exchange means the bringing of two fluid streams into heat exchange relation without any physical contact or intermixing of the fluids with each other.
- the term "equilibrium stage” means a vapor-liquid contacting stage whereby the vapor and liquid leaving that stage are in mass transfer equilibrium.
- an equilibrium stage would correspond to a theoretical tray or plate.
- an equilibrium stage would correspond to that height of column packing equivalent to one theoretical plate.
- An actual contacting stage i.e. trays, plates, or packing, would have a correspondence to an equilibrium stage dependent on its mass transfer efficiency.
- the term "column” means a distillation or fractionation column, i.e., a contacting column or zone wherein liquid and vapor phases are countercurrently contacted to effect separation of a fluid mixture, as for example, by contacting of the vapor and liquid phases on a series of vertically spaced trays or plates mounted within the column or alternatively, on packing elements with which the column is filled.
- a distillation or fractionation column i.e., a contacting column or zone wherein liquid and vapor phases are countercurrently contacted to effect separation of a fluid mixture, as for example, by contacting of the vapor and liquid phases on a series of vertically spaced trays or plates mounted within the column or alternatively, on packing elements with which the column is filled.
- double column is used herein to mean a high pressure column having its upper end in heat exchange relation with the lower end of a low pressure column.
- Figure 1 is a schematic flow diagram of one preferred embodiment of the process of this invention.
- the schematic representation of Figure 1 is particularly preferred in that it illustrates a case where the feed to the krypton-xenon concentration process comes from a double-column air separation plant and the feed is taken from the air separation plant so as to have an increased krypton-xenon concentration over that which would conventionally be attained in oxygen.
- cooled pressurized feed air 12 which has been cleaned of high boiling impurities such as carbon dioxide and water vapor, is introduced into higher pressure column 19, operating at a pressure in the range of from 75 to 300 pounds per square inches absolute (psia), preferably from 75 to 150 psia.
- psia pounds per square inches absolute
- Liquid 20 is expanded through valve 21 and introduced as feed 22 into lower pressure column 17 which is operating at a pressure in the range of from 15 to 100 psia, preferably from 15 to 30 psia.
- Nitrogen-rich vapor 23 is passed 24 to condenser 18 wherein it is condensed by indirect heat exchange with reboiling liquid from the bottom of lower pressure column 17.
- the resulting condensed nitrogen-rich stream 60 is divided into stream 26 which is expanded through valve 30 and passed as stream 31 into column 17 as liquid reflux, and into stream 27 which is passed into column 19 as liquid reflux.
- Figure 1 also illustrates low pressure feed air stream 13 to column 17 which may be available from the warm end of the air separation process as obtained from development of plant refrigeration.
- column 17 the various input streams are separated by cryogenic rectification to produce nitrogen stream 14 and oxygen product.
- the nitrogen stream 14 may be recovered in whole or in part, or may be released to the atmosphere.
- Figure 1 illustrates a particularly preferred embodiment wherein the krypton and xenon in the oxygen are further concentrated in a liquid oxygen portion enabling the recovery of a major portion of the oxygen as gaseous oxygen product, relatively free of rare gases, directly from column 17. This is accomplished by removing gaseous oxygen from column 17 as stream 37 above at least 1 and preferably at least 2 equilibrium stages or actual trays above the sump of column 17 wherein bottoms are reboiled against condensing nitrogen in condenser 18.
- tray 32 is the bottom tray
- tray 33 is the next higher tray
- tray 34 is the third tray in this order.
- oxygen product stream 37 is taken from between trays 33 and 34. In this way, because krypton and xenon both have lower vapor pressures than oxygen, the bulk of the krypton and xenon remains in liquid oxygen and is carried down into the sump, leaving stream 37 relatively free of rare gases.
- the major portion of the krypton and xenon in the feed air is contained in the liquid in the sump of column 17.
- This liquid is an ideal source of a feed to the krypton-xenon concentration process of this invention.
- liquid stream 36 containing oxygen, krypton and xenon is provided to reboiling zone 44 to form reboiling liquid 61.
- Reboiling zone 44 may be separate from or may be within stripping column 38.
- the concentration of krypton and xenon in the feed liquid such as stream 36 may be any effective concentration, but, in general, the concentration of krypton will be at least 10 ppm and preferably at least 20 ppm, and the concentration of xenon will be at least 1 ppm, preferably at least 2 ppm, in the liquid feed stream.
- the liquid 61 is partially vaporized to produce a vapor, which has a lower rare gas content than the remaining liquid.
- the vapor 41 is passed to stripping column 38 for upflow through the column.
- the remaining liquid with its relatively high krypton and xenon content is withdrawn as the liquid concentrate product 16 containing the rare gases.
- the krypton concentration in concentrate 16 is at least 200 ppm and preferably is at least 400 ppm
- the xenon concentration in concentrate 16 is at least 15 ppm and preferably is at least 30 ppm.
- Figure 1 illustrates a particularly preferred embodiment wherein high pressure nitrogen-rich vapor from an associated double-column air separation plant is employed to carry out the partial vaporization in the reboiling zone.
- a portion 25 of nitrogen-rich vapor 23 is passed to reboiler condenser 43 wherein it is condensed by indirect heat exchange with partially vaporizing reboiling liquid 61.
- the resulting condensed nitrogen stream 28 is passed to column 19 as liquid reflux.
- stream 28 may be combined with liquid nitrogen from main condenser 18 to form combined stream 29 for passage into column 19.
- Stripping column 38 operates at a pressure within the range of from 15 to 100 psia, preferably from 15 to 30 psia, and serves to strip a significant portion, and preferably substantially all, of the krypton and xenon in vapor 41 into downflowing liquid.
- the entering downflowing stripping liquid must have a krypton-xenon concentration less than that of vapor 41 and preferably the krypton-xenon concentration in this reflux liquid when it enters the column is less than about 3 ppm.
- a convenient source for the reflux or stripping liquid is the double column air separation plant.
- Figure 1 illustrates a particularly preferred embodiment wherein a liquid stream 35 is taken from above the point where gaseous oxygen product stream 37 is taken. In this way the liquid stream 35 has the low krypton-xenon concentration.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a convenient arrangement wherein richer liquid 39 is combined with feed liquid 36 to form liquid 40 and this combined liquid is passed to reboiling zone 44 to form reboiling liquid 61.
- FIG. 1 illustrates a convenient arrangement wherein lean vapor 42 is combined with gaseous oxygen product 37 from the air separation process and the resulting combined stream 15 is recovered as gaseous oxygen product.
- the stripping column By passing the feed to the krypton-xenon concentration process directly to the reboiling zone rather than to the stripping column, and by carrying out the stripping process in the defined manner of this invention wherein only the vapor from the reboiling zone is passed through the stripping column, one is able to produce a krypton-xenon concentrate and a gaseous rare gas-free oxygen product employing a stripping column of considerably smaller size than is required for conventional krypton-xenon concentration processes.
- the liquid feeds to the stripping column i.e. streams 35 and 36, will be about 20 percent of the oxygen product 15 from the plant. Accordingly, the stripping column then handles vapor flow 42 which is about one-fifth that of the conventional rare gas recovery process and thereby requires about one-fifth the cross-sectional flow area of the conventional flow area of a conventional oxygen gas stripping column.
- the greater part of the oxygen from the air separation plant bypasses the krypton-xenon process entirely thus reducing markedly the throughput and thus the size requirements of the stripping column.
- the liquid stream to the reboiling zone contains from about 5 to 40 percent of the oxygen from the air separation plant, and preferably about 20 percent.
- Another advantage is that the majority of the oxygen gas 37 is maintained at the pressure level of low pressure column 17.
- the portion of the oxygen product 42 that must be processed in the stripping column can be returned at equivalent pressure by operating the stripping column at a slightly higher pressure level to compensate for the column pressure drops.
- the higher pressure level can be easily obtained by reducing the elevation of the stripping column and utilizing the hydrostatic liquid height for the two liquid feeds.
- a further advantage of this process is that the liquid draw from the lower pressure column sump serves to avoid buildup of hydrocarbons in that column.
- the process of this invention effectively produces a krypton-xenon concentrate and substantially rare gas-free gaseous oxygen while requiring only a small flowrate for the feed to the concentration process. This significantly reduces both the capital and operating costs of the concentration process.
