摘要：

An experimental and theoretical study is performed for bulk separation of H-2/CO2 mixture (70/30 volume %) by PSA process with zeolite 5A, a process widely used commercially in conjunction with the catalytic steam reforming of natural gas or naphtha, For the optimized adsorption conditions of PSA, the characteristics of adsorption/desorption characteristics have been studied through breakthrough and desorption experiments under various conditions. The purge-to-feed ratio is important to the H-2 product purity only at a long adsorption step time. H-2 could be concentrated from 70% in the feed to 99.99% at H-2 recovery of 67.5%. The results of all five steps in PSA are successfully predicted by the LDF model considering an energy balance and nonlinear isotherm. For the model, the effective diffusivities (D-e) are obtained separately from the uptake curves of H-2 and CO2. The Langmuir-Freundlich isotherm is used to correlate the experimental equilibrium data and is very well fitted to the results.
