Title: Method of Dividing Air into its Elements by Fractional Distillation.
Inventor: HAZARD-FLAMAND MAURICE
Filed: 1908-12-09
Granted: 1909-12-09
Abstract: 26,720. Flamand, M. Hazard-. Dec. 10, 1907, [date applied for under Section 91 of Patents &c. Act, 1907]. Liquefying.- Oxygen and nitrogen are obtained from air by admitting it in a gaseous state, as by a pipe 7, into a rectifying- column 6, and subjecting it to the action of a reflux of liquid nitrogen from the top of the column Gaseous nitrogen passes away from the top of the column, and a liquid rich in oxygen collects in a boiler 23 at the base of the column, overflowing therefrom to an oxygen vaporizer 26. The liquid nitrogen serving as reflux in the column is obtained by a pipe 32 from a liquefier 19, in which gaeous nitrogen is used for heating the boiler 23 and vaporizer 26. The nitrogen arising from the column is for this purpose compressed by a pump 28, cooled, and passed through exchangers 2, 30 traversed by the nitrogen and oxygen from the column, and thence through an exchanger 5 into the liquefier 19. The air is cooled to the temperature of its saturated vapours before entering the column by passing it through the exchanger 2, and then (a) expanding it through a cock 3 into a receptacle 4, in which any solid carbonic acid collects, any liquid which forms being revolatilized by means of the exchanger 5, (b) mixing it with an auxiliary supply of liquid air, or (c) passing the air through a coil containing the liquid nitrogen used in the rectifier. The additional cold necessary to compensate for loss by radiation &c. is provided by either of the methods (a), (b) above, by an auxiliary supply of liquid nitrogen in the method (c), by withdrawing part of the gaseous nitrogen from the liquefier 19 and compressing and cooling it, and then expanding it back into the liquefier, or by expanding the nitrogen through a cock 18 into the liquefier. An insulated gauge cock 36 is provided for the observation of the liquid level. A modified form of apparatus, Fig. 5, comprises two columns. Air is admitted to the column 38, by a pipe 37, and the liquid rich in oxygen collecting at the base of the column is led by a pipe 43 to the column 41. The boiler 39 and vaporizer 40 of the column 41 are heated by nitrogen gas coming directly from the column 38, the resulting liquid nitrogen serving as reflux for both columns. The boiler and vaporizer may be arranged as fractional condensers or dephlegmators, the separate fractions being led to suitable plates in the several columns.
