PSA Carbon Monoxide Purification

Carbon Monoxide Separation and Purification Technology

Carbon monoxide (CO), as an important C1 chemical feedstock, is widely used in the production of methanol, acetic acid, ethylene glycol, and other chemical products. Industrial CO-rich gas sources are diverse, including various coal gases (such as water gas and semi-water gas), cracking gases (from methanol or calcium carbide), off-gases (from yellow phosphorus or acetic acid production), as well as blast furnace gas and converter gas. Leveraging proprietary adsorbents,Lirun Technologyhas developed an advanced CO separation technology capable of efficiently treating feed gases with high N₂/CH₄content to achieve high-purity CO extraction.


Two-Stage PSA Process

The process employsPSA-1to remove acidic gases (CO₂, H₂S, etc.) andPSA-2for deep purification of CO. Lirun Technology’s self-developed copper-based adsorbents deliver outstanding performance, stably producing CO product gas with a purity of98% (up to 99.9%)and a recovery rate of80–95%, achieving industry-leading technical benchmarks.
