Abstract

The invention relates to mixtures containing basic anion exchangers and flow regulators, the use thereof for the adsorption of acidic gases and of carbon dioxide in particular, a process for continuous gas adsorption, and heat exchangers that contain the mixtures containing basic anion exchangers and flow regulators.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A mixture comprising:
at least one basic anion exchanger having a water content of 0% by weight to 60% by weight based on the total mass of the ion exchanger and having a mean particle diameter of 100 to 1000 μm and at least one flow regulator that is different than the basic anion exchangers wherein said flow regulator has a mean particle diameter of 1 nm to 1000 μm.

2. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the anion exchanger is macroporous.

3. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the anion exchanger comprises primary amino groups.

4. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the anion exchanger has a water content of 01% to 40% based on the total mass of the basic anion exchanger.

5. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the basic anion exchanger comprises a macroporous crosslinked styrene/divinylbenzene polymer functionalized with primary amino groups.

6. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the flow regulators has a mean particle diameter of 1 nm to 500 μm.

7. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the flow regulators is selected from the group of silicon dioxides, colloidal silicon dioxide, silicas, fumed silicas, magnesium and aluminum silicates, talc or sodium aluminosilicate, calcium silicate, cellulose, powdered and microcrystalline cellulose, starch, sodium benzoate, calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate, metal stearate, calcium stearate, magnesium stearate, zinc stearate, magnesium lauryl sulfate and magnesium oxide, and carbon black, gas black, lamp black, thermal black, acetylene black, and furnace black, graphite, and mixtures of said compounds.

8. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the flow regulators is graphite, silica or mixtures of said compounds.

9. The mixture as claimed in claim 8 , wherein the mean particle diameter is 30 μm to 100 μm and 5 nm to 50 nm for graphite and silica, respectively.

10. The mixture as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the mixture contains 0.01% to 10% by weight of the flow regulator and 90% by weight to 99.99% of the basic anion exchanger, based on the total mass of the mixture, wherein the basic anion exchanger is either dry or wet.

11. A continuous process for the adsorption of acidic gases, comprising:
providing a heat exchanger containing the mixtures as claimed in claim 1 ,
flowing of a gas stream containing acidic gases through the heat exchanger, and
subsequently regenerating the basic anion exchanger into the mixtures as claimed in claim 1 .

12. The process according to claim 11 , wherein the acidic gases comprise carbon dioxide.

13. A heat exchanger containing the mixture as claimed in claim 1 .
