Process for purification of argon from oxygen

A process for purification of argon from oxygen comprises the step of absorption of oxygen by passing argon through synthetic zeolites of the A type with a diameter of the entry voids from 2.8 to 4.2A. Oxygen is adsorbed under a pressure of argon of 21.38-427 p.s.i.a. Then oxygen is desorbed from ze...

Zusammenfassung:A process for purification of argon from oxygen comprises the step of absorption of oxygen by passing argon through synthetic zeolites of the A type with a diameter of the entry voids from 2.8 to 4.2A. Oxygen is adsorbed under a pressure of argon of 21.38-427 p.s.i.a. Then oxygen is desorbed from zeolites by reducing the pressure from 21.38-427 p.s.i.a. to atmospheric pressure with subsequent vacuum treatment of the zeolites at a pressure of 1-102 mm Hg. The steps of adsorption, desorption and vacuum treatment are carried out under thermostatic treatment of zeolites with a refrigerant so that a temperature of zeolites at the adsorption stage is maintained at -186 DEG C to -133 DEG C.
