Abstract

Abstract An improved process for recovery of CO 2 gas in a raw material mixed gas by a PSA apparatus. The process is characterized in that the removal of water in the raw material mixed gas is carried out by cooling the raw material mixed gas and passing it through a rotary dehumidification apparatus to remove water in the raw material mixed gas, and the regeneration of the rotary dehumidification apparatus is carried out by using as a gas for regeneration unadsorbed gas discharged from an adsorption step in the PSA apparatus with heating.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim 114 words
In a process for the recovery of CO 2 gas in a raw material mixed gas by a PSA method using a PSA apparatus, in which CO 2 gas is adsorbed with zeolite molecular sieves and then desorbed therefrom, the improvement comprising the steps of: cooling the raw material mixed gas with a cooler; passing the raw material gas through a rotary dehumidification apparatus to remove water in the raw material mixed gas at 0° to 15 C.; and regenerating the rotary dehumidification apparatus by using as a gas for regeneration unadsorbed gas discharged from an adsorption step in the PSA apparatus while heating the evaporate and deadsorb water from the rotary dehumidification apparatus.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 114 words
In a process for the recovery of CO 2 gas in a raw material mixed gas by a PSA method using a PSA apparatus, in which CO 2 gas is adsorbed with zeolite molecular sieves and then desorbed therefrom, the improvement comprising the steps of: cooling the raw material mixed gas with a cooler; passing the raw material gas through a rotary dehumidification apparatus to remove water in the raw material mixed gas at 0° to 15 C.; and regenerating the rotary dehumidification apparatus by using as a gas for regeneration unadsorbed gas discharged from an adsorption step in the PSA apparatus while heating the evaporate and deadsorb water from the rotary dehumidification apparatus.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 44 words
In the process according to claim 1, wherein the CO 2 gas in the PSA method is sucked in in the direction opposite to the direction of introduction of the raw material mixed gas at a gas inlet side part of the PSA apparatus.
