    摘要: Process and installation for the production of ultrapure nitrogen by distillation of air, wherein the air to be treated is separated in a first column (6) into nitrogen at the head and liquid at the bottom rich in oxygen. The nitrogen in the head is used to circulate in a refrigeration cycle, a flow of high pressure cycle nitrogen being purified from hydrogen in a second column (7) comprising a bottom vaporizer (11) which ensures the condensation of this nitrogen before its introduction into this second column, and a head condenser (10) cooled by the bottom liquid of the first column (6). The ultra-pure production nitrogen is withdrawn (at 24) from the bottom of the second column (7), and a second high pressure cycle nitrogen flow is condensed (in 10; 10A) by vaporization of the bottom liquid of the first column (6). At least a portion of the nitrogen condensed by vaporization of bottom liquid of the first column (6) is purified of hydrogen in the second column (7), and at least a portion of the nitrogen condensed by vaporization of bottom liquid in the first column (6) is introduced as reflux into the head of the first column (6).

    摘要: Ultra-high purity nitrogen is generated by removing, from feed air, carbon dioxide, moisture and catalyst poisons of an oxidation catalyst contained therein by a decarbonating drier (4). The feed air is then introduced into a low-pressure rectification column (6), where it is roughly rectified to further remove the carbon dioxide, moisture and catalyst poison. Then raw nitrogen gas obtained in the low-pressure rectification column (6) is introduced into an oxidation column (8) so that carbon monoxide in the raw nitrogen gas is converted to carbon dioxide and hydrogen also contained therein to water. Thereafter the raw nitrogen gas is introduced into an adsorption column (10) so that carbon dioxide and water are removed by adsorption to provide feed raw nitrogen gas, which is fed into an intermediate-pressure rectification column (11), where it is rectified. Nitrogen gas from the top portion of the intermediate-pressure rectification column is condensed by a reboiler-condenser (6RC) to provide high purity liquid nitrogen; and the liquid nitrogen is returned to the intermediate-pressure rectification column (11), whereby a part of this high purity liquid nitrogen is used as a reflux liquid and the remaining part thereof is taken out of a rectifying stage that is several stages below the rectifying stage in the top portion of the intermediate-pressure rectification column as an ultra-high purity nitrogen gas product or ultra-high purity liquid nitrogen product.

    摘要: A nitrogen production method wherein air is compressed, is removed of water and carbon dioxide contained therein, and is simultaneously cooled to a temperature close to the liquefying point, and the resultant cleaned and cooled air is fed into a rectifying column for rectification so that high purity nitrogen is withdrawn from the rectifying column overhead; and wherein the oxygen-enriched liquid air withdrawn from the rectifying column bottom is expanded and fed into a condensation step wherein it becomes a source of reflux producing cold in the above-mentioned rectifying column, and then a cold is produced by adiabatically expanding the vaporized gas, after which heat exchange with raw air is performed. In this method, there is provided a closed circulating system wherein a circulating gas which is compressed is cooled by heat exchange with a return gas of the circulating gas, and the resultant cooled gas is fed into a reboiler at the bottom of the above-mentioned rectifying column wherein it vaporizes a liquid in the bottom of the rectifying column, and after the compressed circulating gas itself is liquefied through the above described step and expanded, it is fed into the above-mentioned condenser wherein it is vaporized by heat exchange with the high purify nitrogen from the above-mentioned rectifying column, and further the resultant vaporized gas is restored to normal temperature by heat exchange with the above-mentioned compressed circulating gas and is then subjected to recompression for continued circulation.
