Abstract
An experiment and simulation were performed for hydrogen separation of mixtures by PSA (pressure swing adsorption) process on activated carbon. The binary ($H_2/Ar$; 80％/ 20％) and ternary ($H_2/Ar/CH_4$; 60％/ 20％/ 20％) mixtures were used to study the effects of feed composition. The cyclic performances such as purity, recovery, and productivity of 2bed-6step PSA process were experimentally and theoretically compared under non-isothermal and non-adiabatic conditions. The develped process produced the hydrogen with 99％ purity and 75％ recovery from both processes. Therefore, optimal separation condition was referred multicomponent gas mixtures.
