초록
There are growing needs to produce relatively high purity (99.0% or higher) oxygen at low cost. For small scale production, both pressure swing adsorption (PSA) and membrane process are competitve and less expensive or more convient than well known crygenic fractionation technology. A continuous membrane colume (CMC) combined with a PSA oxygen generator can be employed to produce high purity oxygen continuosly. The oxygen-enriched gas generated by a PSA unit, with a concentration of 93-94%, is fed to the CMC that consists of three modules of poly(imide) hollow fibers. Several experiments were conducted by varying parameters, such feed flow rate, transmenbrane pressure drop, stage cut, and feed location in order to obtain a high oxygen concentration above 99.0%. A two-series unit mode was also employed with CMC operation to optimize the given membrane area.
