The invention discloses a process for adsorbing and separating ethane by using catalytic
dry gas, and aims to solve the technical problems that in the prior art, the ethane
adsorption effect is relatively poor, an adsorbent is not easy to regenerate, the
chemical stability is relatively poor, next adsorption can be carried out only after
desorption is completed after adsorption saturation, and the working efficiency is low. The process comprises the following steps: S1, pretreating
dry gas; s2, preparing an adsorbent; and S3, the
dry gas pretreated in the S1 is pressurized to the pressure condition required by the process through a compressor, and then the dry gas is cooled through circulating water and low-temperature
refrigerant water in sequence. According to the process, the adsorbent is prepared by loading
copper chloride on
activated carbon, the prepared adsorbent has a better
adsorption effect on ethane, the adsorbent can be regenerated and is good in
chemical stability, and through the design of the two adsorption beds, one adsorption
bed performs
desorption while the other adsorption
bed performs adsorption operation; and continuous adsorption and
desorption operation can be realized, and the working efficiency is higher.
