Abstract
A gas mixture separating apparatus comprises an adsorption column packed with an adsorbent; a gas mixture column-end feeding device for feeding a gas mixture to one of two ends of the adsorption column; an unadsorbed-gas column-end discharge device for discharging unadsorbed gas from the other end of the adsorption column; a pressurizing device for pressurizing the gas mixture to be fed to the end of the adsorption column; and an adsorber depressurizing device connected to the end of the adsorption column on the gas mixture feed side. It comprises further a gas mixture side-injection device for feeding the gas mixture to the adsorbent in the adsorption column from the shell side thereof. Further, the gas mixture side-injection device is branched from the gas mixture column-end feeding device. Further, the apparatus comprises concentration sensors for detecting the concentration of the same sorts of components in gas flow as are adsorbed by the adsorbent in the adsorption column in the vicinity of the locations at which a plurality of gas mixture side injection devices are installed.
