Abstract
A method for separating hydrogen and nitrogen from a gas mixture, including a) thereby partially condensing a hydrogen and nitrogen gas mixture and producing a two-phase stream, b) phase separating the two-phase stream, producing a nitrogen-enriched liquid fraction and a hydrogen-enriched gaseous fraction, c) expanding the nitrogen-enriched liquid fraction, producing a lower-pressure nitrogen-enriched liquid or two-phase stream, d) adding heat to the lower-pressure nitrogen-enriched liquid stream, producing a warm nitrogen enriched gaseous stream, and e) adding heat to the hydrogen-enriched gaseous fraction, producing a hydrogen-rich product stream. Wherein, at least a portion of the heat added in step d) is removed in step a), at least a portion of the heat added in step e) is removed in step a), or at least a portion of the heat added in step d) and at least a portion of the heat added in step e) is removed in step a).
