As an illustration, consider the following two-step adsorption cycle to purify helium diving gas. Helium diving gas is principally a mixture of oxygen and helium, when the diving chambers are depressurised, the contaminated gas will consist mainly of carbon dioxide, oxygen and helium. Traditionally this waste gas has been thrown away. The PSA cycle described below is a method of purifying this ...

Development of a Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) Process for CO2 Capture from Flue Gas

Biogas Upgrading by Pressure Swing Adsorption

Producing Nitrogen via Pressure Swing Adsorption

Nitrogen gas is a staple of the chemical industry. Because it is an inert gas, nitrogen is suitable for a wide range of applications covering various aspects of chemical manufacturing, processing, handling, and shipping. Due to its low reactivity, nitrogen is an excellent blanketing and purging gas that can be used to protect valuable products from harmful contaminants. It also enables the safe...

Process intensification in duplex pressure swing adsorption

As an alternative to the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) based on the Skarstrom cycle or its variants, a novel two-bed PSA--called duplex PSA--has been proposed by Hirose and independently by Leavitt to get both products of high purities. Simulation and experimental studies on duplex PSA for CO2 capture indicate that CO2 can be enriched to 95 mol% of feed containing 20 mol% CO2 and 80 mol% N2. ...
