  • METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATION OF A GASEOUS MIXTURE AT SUB-AMBIENT TEMPERATURE
    Publication number: 20160223254
    Abstract: In a method for separating a gaseous mixture by separation at sub-ambient temperature, a gaseous mixture at a first pressure is cooled, then separated in a separation unit, a liquid is withdrawn from the separation unit and vaporized to form a pressurized gaseous product, and at least part of the heat of vaporization of the liquid is supplied by a heat pump using the magnetocaloric effect, of which the hot source exchanges heat, directly or indirectly, with the liquid which vaporizes.
