Abstract

A pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process for separating CO from a COCO2N2 mixture is proposed. The adsorbent used in this process is active carbon supported copper, which has been developed by this laboratory. By cycling the pressure of a bed of this adsorbent between ambient pressure and 20–30 Torr at room temperature, high purity CO can be obtained from the COCO2N2 gas mixture with a high recovery. The CO product purity depends crucially on the step of CO cocurrent purge after adsorption in the cycle and the regeneration of sorbent.
