PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR SEPARATING HYDROGEN FROM GAS FLOWS BY A PRESSURE SWING ADSORPTION PROCESS

摘要

A process for separating hydrogen from a gas flow having an oxygen constituent and including predominantly hydrogen, nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, methane and/or other hydrocarbons, as well as a device for conducting the process, is disclosed. The gas flow undergoes a process to thermally convert oxygen prior to the pressure swing adsorption process.
