CHROMATOGRAPHIC SEPARATOR OF MIXED GASES AND VAPOURS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC G01N30/02 

FIELD: physics.

SUBSTANCE: chromatographic separator of mixed gases and vapours contains three columns with one used to regenerate sorbent layer from heavy mix fraction, and two others used to separate mixture and remove light fraction. Columns are sectioned. Each section is filled sorbent selective to components of separated substance. Light and heavy fraction exhaust lines after fraction tanks through collector and driven switch elements are added with chromatographic modules each containing three columns with one used to regenerate sorbent layer from heavier fraction and two others used to separate mixture and remove light fraction components. Columns are sectioned. Each section is filled sorbent selective to components of separated substance and moving under carrier gas height supplied from the first section and exhausted from the last through offtake passing through column and filled motionless sorbent layer. Number of chromatographic modules to separate binary fractions is proportional to number of these fractions in multicomponent separated mixture. Modules process variable, including temperature, separated fraction volume, sorbent selectivity, column diameter and length are individual.

EFFECT: higher efficiency and productivity of compound multicomponent mixture separation.
