Abstract:
A gas separation method which separates a vapor mixture comprising at least two components into the two components using a vapor-liquid contactor in a column; wherein said method comprises:a) providing a vapor-liquid contactor including a non-promoting-fluid dispersion structured packing formed of various thin-sheets or tubes which direct the flow of said mixture vertically, said non-promoting-liquid-dispersion structured packing having a specific surface area of 350 m2/m3 or more; and b) contacting said vapor and liquid countercurrently on the surface of said packing under a pressure of from 0.08 to 0.4 MPa, and at a vapor load of 1.8 m/s (kg/m3)Â½ or more in superficial F factor.
