Abstract
A dual-reflux pressure swing adsorption (DR-PSA) process was proposed and simulated to initially separate the blue coal gas, aiming to capture carbon dioxide (CO2) and enrich hydrogen (H2), simultaneously. With a feed flow rate of 7.290 slpm, a light product reflux flow rate of 0.505 slpm and the heavy product reflux flow rate of 3.68 slpm, the developed DR-PSA process could capture CO2 up to 64.01% with a recovery of 99.60% and enrich H2 up to 34.66% with a recovery of 97.63% from the blue coal gas (36.2% N2/28.5% H2/13.9% CO/12.7% CO2/8.7% CH4). In addition, in order to optimize the process, the effects of various operating parameters on the DR-PSA process performance in terms of product purity and recovery were discussed in detail, including the feed position, the light product reflux ratio and the heavy product reflux ratio. Moreover, the dynamic distribution behaviors of pressure, temperature and gas-solid concentration were presented to explain and evaluate the process separation performance in depth under different operating conditions.
