In this study, a computer simulation work has been performed for the separation of electronic grade highly pure carbon dioxide more than 7 N purity through a cryogenic distillation process. For the cold utility as a cooling medium for a condenser of the cryogenic distillation column, propylene was utilized as a refrigerant in the vapor-recompression refrigeration cycle. Through this work, it was concluded that the cryogenic distillation column with two stage compression and refrigeration cycle were essential to obtain a highly-pure liquefied CO₂.

In this paper, a new technology to obtain electronic grade, highly pure carbon dioxide by using membrane and liquefied natural gas (LNG) cold heat assisted cryogenic distillation has been proposed. PRO/II with PROVISION release 2023.1 from AVEVA company was used, and Peng-Robinson equation of the state model with Twu's alpha function to predict pure component vapor pressure versus temperature more accurately was selected for the modeling of the membrane and cryogenic distillation process. Advantage of using membrane separation instead of selecting absorber-stripper configuration for the concentration of carbon dioxide was the reduction of carbon dioxide capture cost.
