  • Method and apparatus for separating desublimatable components from gas mixtures
    Patent number: 4181508
    Abstract: Method for separating a desublimatable component from a gas mixture onto the surface of a heat exchanger apparatus having a heat exchanger separator containing a cold end and a warmer end, comprises flowing the gas mixture through the separator from the warmer end toward the cold end and providing a nonstationary temperature distribution in the heat exchanger separator to shift the position of the dew point at a controlled speed from a given point near or at the cold end of the heat exchanger separator at the beginning of the separation process to the warmer end of the separator to produce a desired layer thickness profile of desublimate on the surface of the heat exchanger separator in a direction opposite the direction of flow of the gas mixture. An apparatus is provided for practicing the method.
