- the present invention relates to a gas separation device and a gas separation method.
- Patent Document 1 a Langmuir type adsorbent (for example, zeolite, activated carbon, etc.) has been mainly used.
- Langmuir-type adsorbents basically improve the efficiency of separation and purification as the pressure range for adsorption and desorption increases. However, if the adsorption / desorption pressure range is widened, the cost for adjusting the pressure increases in accordance with the pressure range, and the running cost for separation and purification increases.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a gas separation device and a gas separation method capable of reducing the running cost.
- a gas separation device is connected to a first adsorption tank having a gate-type adsorbent that adsorbs a first gas, and the first adsorption tank via a first opening / closing valve.
- a second adsorption tank having a Langmuir-type adsorbent for adsorbing one gas; a first gas pipe connected to the first adsorption tank, provided with a second on-off valve, and provided with the first gas; A first gas pipe through which a mixed gas containing a different second gas and the first gas flows, and a second gas pipe connected to the second adsorption tank, wherein a third opening / closing valve is provided, A second gas pipe for taking out a passing gas obtained by passing the mixed gas through the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank in this order, and a third gas pipe connected to the first adsorption tank, A fourth on-off valve is provided, which is a third gas pipe for taking out the first gas desor
- the gas separation device includes a first adsorption tank having a gate type adsorbent. Since the first gas pipe is connected to the first adsorption tank, the mixed gas is supplied to the first adsorption tank through the first gas pipe. Since the first gas of the mixed gas supplied to the first adsorption tank is adsorbed by the gate type adsorbent, the mixed gas can be separated into the first gas and the second gas.
- the gate type adsorbent does not adsorb the first gas depending on the partial pressure of the first gas in the first adsorption tank. In that case, the first gas passes through the first adsorption tank.
- the second adsorption tank having the Langmuir-type adsorbent is connected to the first adsorption tank, the first gas that has passed through the first adsorption tank can be adsorbed by the Langmuir-type adsorbent in the second adsorption tank. .. As a result, the second gas separated from the mixed gas can be taken out from the second gas pipe. Further, if the first gas adsorbed by the gate type adsorbent and the Langmuir type adsorbent is desorbed, the first gas can be recovered through the third gas pipe and the fourth gas pipe.
- the pressures in the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank can be independently controlled by controlling the first to fifth opening / closing valves. Therefore, when desorbing the first gas from the gate-type adsorbent and the Langmuir-type adsorbent on which the first gas is adsorbed, the pressure according to the gate-type adsorbent and the Langmuir-type adsorbent can be applied. Since it is not necessary to lower the pressure more than necessary with the gate type adsorbent, the pressure range for adsorption / desorption can be narrowed, so the cost required for pressure adjustment can be reduced. Therefore, the running cost can be reduced.
- the third gas pipe and the fourth gas pipe may be connected to a pressure regulator.
- a pressure regulator In this case, in order to desorb the first gas from the gate type adsorbent and the Langmuir type adsorbent, it is easy to adjust the pressure in the first and second adsorption tanks.

Further, by performing the first desorption process and the second desorption process, the gate type adsorbent and the Langmuir type adsorbent can be regenerated and the first gas can be taken out.
- the pressure in the first adsorption tank can be lowered while maintaining the pressure according to the gate type adsorbent. ..
- the pressure adjustment range can be narrowed. Therefore, the cost required for pressure adjustment can be reduced. Therefore, the running cost can be reduced.

- the first on-off valve is closed, and in the second cleaning process, the second on-off valve is opened, so that the first cleaning process and the second cleaning process are adsorbed and desorbed on the Langmuir-type adsorbent and the gate-type adsorbent. It can be carried out at a pressure according to the performance.
- the gas separation method includes a returning step of returning a part of the gas taken out in the first desorption step and the second desorption step to at least one of the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank. It may be further provided.
- the gas extracted in the first desorption process and the second desorption process may include components other than the first gas.
- the gas separation method may further include a pressure increasing step of increasing the pressure in the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank before the adsorption step. Since the pressure in the first adsorption tank and the second adsorption tank can be increased in this pressurizing step, for example, when the adsorbing step is performed after the pressurizing step, the first gas that slips through the first adsorbing tank can be reduced. ..
- Another example of the gas separation method according to another aspect of the present invention is that the first adsorption part having a gate-type adsorbent that adsorbs the first gas and the first adsorption part are arranged in series, A mixed gas containing a second gas different from the first gas and the first gas is added to a second adsorption part having a Langmuir-type adsorbent that adsorbs one gas, and the mixed gas containing the first gas is mixed with the second adsorption part.

- the adsorption process, the first desorption process, the second desorption process, the first cleaning process, the second cleaning process, and the pressure increasing process are the adsorption process, the first desorption process, the second desorption process, the first cleaning process, and the second cleaning process.
- the adsorption step of the next basic cycle is performed after the pressurization step. Therefore, the boosting step is also a step performed before the adsorption step. Conversely, the basic cycle of performing the pressurization step, the adsorption step, the first desorption step, the second desorption step, the first cleaning step, and the second cleaning step may be repeated.
- the adsorption tank 6 and the second adsorption tank 10 are arranged in the order of the first adsorption tank 6 and the second adsorption tank 10.
- the mixed gas when the mixed gas is supplied to the first adsorption tank 6 in the adsorption step, the mixed gas flows in the order of the first adsorption tank 6 and the second adsorption tank 10. Therefore, the first gas is adsorbed by the gate type adsorbent in the first adsorption tank 6.
- the first gas not adsorbed by the gate type adsorbent is adsorbed by the Langmuir type adsorbent in the second adsorption tank 10 arranged downstream of the first adsorption tank 6.
- the gate type adsorbent rapidly adsorbs the first gas at a specific pressure P1 (see FIG. 1), but the pressure in the first adsorption tank 6 (specifically, the partial pressure of the first gas) is When the pressure is less than P1, the first gas is hardly adsorbed. Therefore, in the adsorption process, when the pressure in the first adsorption tank 6 (partial pressure of the first gas) is lower than the pressure at which the first gas can be adsorbed (for example, the initial stage of the adsorption process, particularly the pressure increasing process is performed). If not), the first gas in the mixed gas passes through the first adsorption tank 6 without being adsorbed by the gate type adsorbent.
- the first gas is adsorbed by the gate type adsorbent in the first adsorption tank 6.
- the partial pressure of the first gas in the first adsorption tank 6 may decrease due to the adsorption of the first gas on the gate-type adsorbent in the first adsorption tank 6.
- the first gas passes through the first adsorption tank 6.

- the first gas is adsorbed by the gate type adsorbent to separate the second gas from the mixed gas, while the gas is not adsorbed by the gate type adsorbent.
- the first gas is adsorbed by the Langmuir type adsorbent.
- the gate-type adsorbent rapidly adsorbs the first gas at a specific pressure P1 (see FIG. 1), while rapidly desorbing the first gas at a specific pressure P2 (see FIG. 1). Therefore, it is possible to narrow the adsorption / desorption pressure range while maintaining the separation / purification efficiency as long as the adsorption / desorption capacity can be exhibited. Therefore, since the cost required for pressure adjustment can be reduced, the gas separating apparatus 2 and the gas separating method using the same can reduce the running cost.
- the first desorption process and the second desorption process can be performed by appropriately controlling the automatic opening / closing valves V1 to V5. Therefore, the gate type adsorbent and the Langmuir type adsorbent can be regenerated and reused.

Further, a third gas pipe 14 is connected to the first adsorption tank 6, and a fourth gas pipe 16 is connected to the second adsorption tank 10. Therefore, the pressures in the first adsorption tank 6 and the second adsorption tank 10 can be controlled independently.
- the pressure of the second adsorption tank 10 having the Langmuir type adsorbent is maintained while maintaining the pressure at which the gate type adsorbent can maintain the desorption ability (gate is closed) in the first adsorption tank 6. It can be further reduced. As described above, since the pressure on the first adsorption tank 6 side may be controlled according to the adsorption / desorption capacity of the gate-type adsorbent, the running cost can be reduced.
- the pressure in the second adsorption tank 10 is further reduced from the first desorption step in order to desorb more of the first gas from the Langmuir-type adsorbent in the second adsorption tank 10.
- the second adsorption tank 10 having the Langmuir type adsorbent has only to adsorb the first gas that has not been adsorbed in the first adsorption tank 6. Therefore, for example, as compared with a case where the first adsorption tank 6 is not provided and only the second adsorption tank 10 (that is, only the Langmuir-type adsorbent) removes the first gas from the mixed gas, the second adsorption tank 10 The capacity can be reduced.
- the amount of Langmuir-type adsorbent can be reduced. Therefore, the time required to reduce the pressure in the second adsorption tank 10 and the power of the vacuum pump 22 can be reduced as compared with the case where the first gas is removed from the mixed gas only in the second adsorption tank 10. As a result, the running cost of the gas separation device 2 and the gas separation method using the same can be reduced.
- the first cleaning step and the second cleaning step can further desorb the first gas from the gate-type adsorbent and the Langmuir-type adsorbent. .. Therefore, when the next adsorption step is performed after performing the adsorption step once, a large amount of the first gas can be adsorbed to the gate type adsorbent and the Langmuir type adsorbent, so that the gas separation device 2 is repeatedly used ( When the second gas is separated and purified from the mixed gas (by repeating the basic cycle), it is easy to maintain the quality of the second gas as the target gas.

- the gas in the first adsorption tank 6 and the second adsorption tank 10 can be effectively utilized.
- the pressure increasing step is not performed, the pressure in the first adsorption tank 6 can be maintained at a certain pressure or more when the adsorption step is performed again. It is easy to adsorb the first gas.
- the pressure in the first adsorption tank 6 and the second adsorption tank 10 increases in the pressure increasing step. Therefore, in the adsorption process performed after the pressurization process, the first gas is easily adsorbed by the gate-type adsorbent, and the first gas can be prevented from passing through the second adsorption tank 10. Also in the Langmuir-type adsorbent in the second adsorption tank 10, the higher the pressure is, the larger the adsorption capacity is, so that a larger amount of the first gas can be adsorbed.
