Abstract
In a process for the separation of a mixture containing hydrogen and carbon monoxide to produce gaseous hydrogen, the mixture is cooled down to a temperature below −180° C. and then separated at a temperature below −100° C. to produce a gas enriched in hydrogen and a fluid enriched in carbon monoxide, at least a part of the gas enriched in hydrogen is sent to a pressure swing adsorption separation apparatus operating at a temperature above 0° C. to produce a gas rich in hydrogen at a pressure of at least 20 bars, and at least a part of the gas rich in hydrogen is cooled in the heat exchanger down to a temperature below −100° C., reduced in pressure in a turbine down to a pressure of at least 8 bars and reheated in the heat exchanger to constitute a product rich in hydrogen at a pressure of at least 8 bars.
