The LindeāFrankāCaro process is a method for hydrogen production by removing hydrogen and carbon dioxide from water gas by condensation. [1] [2] The process was invented in 1909 by Adolf Frank and developed with Carl von Linde and Heinrich Caro. [3]
Water gas is compressed to 20 bar and pumped into the LindeāFrankāCaro reactor. A water column removes most of the carbon dioxide and sulfur. Tubes with caustic soda then remove the remaining carbon dioxide, sulphur, and water from the gas stream. The gas enters a chamber and is cooled to ā190 Ā°C, resulting in the condensation of most of the gas to a liquid. The remaining gas is pumped to the next vessel where the nitrogen is liquefied by cooling to ā205 Ā°C, resulting in hydrogen gas as an end product.
