Atmospheric air contains various trace impurities which include oxides of nitrogen, carbon, sulphur, and light hydrocarbons. Prior to cryogenic distillation of air to produce oxygen, nitrogen, and argon, these trace impurities have to be removed since many of these compounds constitute a safety hazard in the plant. In this study, adsorption has been considered for their removal and adsorption behavior of ethylene, acetylene, nitrous oxide, acetonitrile, methyl tert-butyl ether, methyl sulfoxide, dimethyl sulfoxide, and methanol have been studied in the Henry's Law low concentration region with several different adsorbents. Adsorption equilibrium parameters have been determined with samples of Alcan pure alumina, Alcan alumina/13X composites Actiguard 600/650PC, CABSORB Chabazite, Ceca13X, and Clinoptilolite by using the concentration pulse chromatographic technique. Heat of adsorption values and van't Hoff plots have been presented.
