  • Patent number: 8366806
    Abstract: A hydrocarbon adsorbent that includes a zeolite with either a H-FER structure or a MOR structure in which the pore diameter has been adjusted by ion exchange. A propane adsorbent that includes a zeolite with a MFI structure having a Si/Al ratio of no more than 20. A hydrocarbon removal unit that includes a TSA pre-purification unit having a column packed with sequential layers of activated alumina, a NaX zeolite, and the hydrocarbon adsorbent. A method of reducing the hydrocarbon content within liquid oxygen inside a cryogenic air separation unit that includes purifying feed air with the above pre-purification unit.

  • Publication number: 20100115994
    Abstract: The adsorbent for carbon monoxide of the present invention is obtained by activating a Cu-ZSM5 type zeolite prepared as a catalyst for removal of NOX through heating at 450 to 600° C. in an inert gas atmosphere containing no moisture. The gas purification method of the present invention includes removing carbon monoxide as a trace amount of impurities contained in a gas by a temperature swing adsorption method, wherein the adsorbent for carbon monoxide according to claim 1 is used, and a regeneration operation of the adsorbent for carbon monoxide is carried out at 200 to 350° C.
