Abstract
The hydrogen has been showed as a promisor fuel in the world energetic scenario. Industrially, can be obtained from thermochemical conversions, follow by a purification step of product’s current by adsorption cycles. Were developed a separation system from an assembly of simple and cheap equipments that allows the study of steps in TSA/PSA adsorption cycle for produce hydrogen purified. The column was filled with activated carbon VW 1050 and fed with syngas. Simulations of adsorption steps were developed using the software gPROMS®. The system was capable of heat the column until regeneration temperature of the bed and maintain it. The bed cooling after the heating column and its refrigeration until low temperature were too possible. The bed showed fast saturation in adsorption step.
