Definitions
- the invention relates to a method and a device for air separation by low-temperature rectification of air, in which air is compressed, pre-cleaned, cooled, fed to a two-stage rectification and broken down into an oxygen-rich and a nitrogen-rich fraction, with another from the low-pressure stage of the rectification Argon-enriched oxygen fraction is removed and broken down into crude argon in a crude argon rectification and into a heavy-boiling residual fraction.
- the main products of air separation, oxygen and nitrogen, can be taken directly from the two-stage rectification.
- Argon on the other hand, whose boiling temperature is between the boiling temperatures of oxygen and nitrogen, accumulates in the middle region of the low-pressure stage of the rectification.
- a fraction consisting essentially of oxygen is removed, with which a large part of the argon contained in the feed air is drawn off.
- This fraction is broken down into crude argon and into a liquid residual fraction by rectification in a crude argon column. The remaining fraction is returned to the low pressure stage.
- a method of the type mentioned is known from DE-OS-34 36 897.
- gaseous crude argon is obtained, which consists of approximately 95% argon and is mainly contaminated by approximately 3% oxygen and 2% nitrogen (all percentages relate to the volume).
- the oxygen can only be incompletely removed in the processes known hitherto during rectification in the crude argon column, which usually contains about 60 rectification trays, since the boiling points of argon and oxygen are extremely close to one another.
- the difference in boiling temperatures is, for example, 2.9 K at a pressure of 1 bar.
- the oxygen is separated from the raw argon in a so-called deoxo device by burning the oxygen with added hydrogen and separating the water formed in a dryer.
- a deoxo device by burning the oxygen with added hydrogen and separating the water formed in a dryer.
- Such a deoxo device is a complex apparatus and, above all, causes high operating costs due to the not inconsiderable consumption of hydrogen.
- the provision of hydrogen is particularly complex if it does not occur in chemical processes that are carried out at the site of the air separation plant.
- the invention has for its object to develop a method and an apparatus of the type mentioned, which are characterized by a low level of equipment and low operating costs.
- the head of the rectification column in which such a separation is to be carried out must be cooled in order to produce reflux.
- An indirect heat exchange with the bottom fraction from the pressure stage comes into question, as is usually also used in the crude argon rectification.
- the bottom fraction is expanded in a top condenser and liquefied there. Indirect heat exchange absorbs heat from condensing gas in the top of the crude argon column.
- the evaporated bottom fraction is introduced into the low pressure column.
- a prerequisite for the fact that return can be generated in this way is, however, that the condensation temperature of the gas at the top of the column to be cooled is higher than the evaporation temperature of the evaporating bottom liquid. These temperatures are determined by the pressures of the respective fractions.
- an exclusively rectifying separation of the oxygen is nevertheless maintained.
- rectification trays are dispensed with in the device according to the invention and instead structured packings or fillers are used which bring about a substantially lower pressure drop within the rectification column. Since there was no empirical data on the effect of structured packings or packing elements in air rectification, it was only with the experience gained in a larger test facility that the possible implementation of packs in this area and especially in the crude argon column could be assessed. The tests showed that with a theoretical number of trays between 150 and 200, preferably about 180, an oxygen content of less than 1 ppm in the raw argon is possible with an economical argon yield.
- the invention is explained in more detail below on the basis of an exemplary embodiment shown schematically in the drawing.
- the figure shows in simplified form a method for air separation with subsequent argon extraction, which is carried out purely by rectification according to the invention.
- Air is drawn in from the compressor 2 via line 1 and freed of water vapor and carbon dioxide in a cleaning stage 3.
- the air is then cooled in a heat exchanger 4 in countercurrent to product gases and partly introduced via line 5 into the pressure column 10 of a two-stage rectification column 9.
- Another part of the air is branched off in the heat exchanger 4 at an average temperature (line 6), expanded in a turbine 7 while performing work, and fed to the low-pressure column 11 via line 8.
- a condenser-evaporator 12 gas is condensed from the top of the pressure column against evaporating bottom liquid of the low-pressure column, and is fed as a return to the pressure column.
- Nitrogen gaseous (line 15) and liquid (line 14) are removed from the pressure column.
- a portion of the liquid nitrogen is fed as a return liquid into the low pressure column via line 18.
- Sump liquid is fed out of the pressure column via line 13 and partly fed via line 16 to the central region of the low pressure column.
- Gaseous nitrogen (line 20) and gaseous oxygen (line 21) are taken from the low-pressure column as product streams and then warmed to almost ambient temperature in the heat exchanger4. Another fraction leaves the low-pressure column via line 22. This fraction contains 87-92%, preferably 90% oxygen, 8-13%, preferably 10% argon and also about 0.05% nitrogen and is fed into the lower region of a crude argon column 24.
- the top condenser 26 of the crude argon column 24 is cooled by vaporizing liquid which is fed from the bottom of the pressure column 10 via line 17.
- the bottom liquid in line 17 contains 35-40% oxygen and is expanded to approximately the pressure of the low pressure column before being introduced into the top condenser 26.
- the evaporated portion is introduced via line 19 into the low pressure column.
- the raw argon column 24 is equipped with structured packings which correspond to a theoretical number of plates from 170 to 200, preferably approximately 180, and is operated under the pressure of the low pressure column from 1.2 to 1.6, preferably approximately 1.3 bar.
- packings with a similarly low pressure drop could also be used.
- Raw argon is removed in gaseous form via line 25 and contains only about 1 ppm oxygen. A part of this raw argon is liquefied in the top condenser 26 and returned to the raw argon column as a return. The remaining raw argon is condensed in a raw argon liquefier 28 by heat exchange with evaporating nitrogen 29, which comes from the pressure column.
- the nitrogen remaining in the crude argon is separated off.
- the bottom of the column is heated by nitrogen gas which is brought out of the pressure column via line 15.
- the condensed nitrogen 31 is used together with the liquid 32 removed from the pressure column to cool the head of the pure argon column.
- gas is withdrawn via line 34 and partly liquefied in the top condenser 33 and returned to the pure argon column 30.
- the remaining part is discharged via line 37 as residual gas, which consists essentially of nitrogen.
- Liquid pure argon is removed via line 39 and still contains a total of 1-10 ppm, preferably 3 ppm, of impurities.
