Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In a process for purifying a hydrogen stream, the stream is contacted with a first washing fluid in a first purification zone under conditions effective to transfer at least some water from the hydrogen stream to the first washing fluid, thereby transforming the hydrogen stream into a water-depleted hydrogen stream. At least a portion of the water-depleted hydrogen stream may then be transferred from the first purification zone to a second purification zone, where it is contacted with a second washing fluid under conditions effective to transfer at least some oxygenates from the water-depleted hydrogen stream to the second washing fluid.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
The invention claimed is: 1. A process for purifying a hydrogen stream comprising water, the process comprising: (a) contacting the hydrogen stream in a first purification zone with a first washing fluid under conditions effective to transfer at least some of the water from the hydrogen stream to the first washing fluid, thereby transforming the hydrogen stream into a water-depleted hydrogen stream, wherein the water-depleted hydrogen stream further comprises at least one oxygen…
