New Pressure Swing Adsorption Processes

项目名称：新型变压吸附工艺项目编号：cts -0327089项目负责人：Phillip WankatInstitution: Purdue university该项目的目标是基于蒸馏设计，为新型变压吸附（PSA）方案开发局部平衡理论。将使用商业模拟器对该过程进行广泛的模拟。将对许多不同的PSA过程进行详细的计算机模拟，以确定新程序的适用范围。本提案的研究建立在专利和公开文献的先前工作基础上，以开发改进的PSA工艺，以增加弱吸附组分的回收率和强吸附组分的纯度。与当前的工艺相比，这些工艺具有潜在的显著优势。拟议的研究将使用详细的模拟来描述与现有工艺相比，新工艺是一种改进的分离问题。减少压缩的新程序将包括在这些新循环中。该项目还旨在产生更广泛的影响。除了在教育上对研究生有益外，还将开发新的方法来教授研究生和最终的本科生吸附。一个先进的吸附模拟器，用于PSA和变温吸附将引入研究生水平的化学工程选修课，使用计算机实验室作为讲座课程的一部分。成功的研究结果将是新的PSA设计，准备在商业化之前进行中试工厂测试。

Proposal Title: New Pressure Swing Adforption ProcessesProposal Number: CTS-0327089Principal Investigator: Phillip WankatInstitution: Purdue UniversityThe objective of this project is to develop a local equilibrium theory for a novel pressure swing adsorption (PSA) scheme, based on a distillation design. Extensive simulations of the process will be done with a commercial simulator. Detailed computer simulations will be done for a number of different PSA processes to determine the range of applicability of the new procedure. Research in this proposal builds on prior work in the patent and open literature to develop improved PSA processes to increase the recovery of the weakly adsorbed component and purity of the strongly adsorbed component. Potentially, these processes have significant advantages compared to current processes. The proposed research will use detailed simulations to delineate separation problems for which the new processes are an improvement compared to existing processes. The new procedure for reducing compression will be included in these new cycles. This project is also designed to have a broader impact. In addition to being educationally beneficial for the graduate students, new methods to teach graduate and eventually undergraduate students adsorption will be developed. An advanced adsorption simulator for both PSA and temperature swing adsorption will be introduced into a graduate level chemical engineering elective using a computer laboratory as part of the lecture course. The results of successful research will be new PSA designs that are ready for pilot plant testing before commercialization.
