MUMBAI, India, Sept. 22 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202617077329 A) filed by Air Water Inc. on June 23, 2026, for Method For Producing Neon And Apparatus For Producing Neon.
Inventors include Gohda, Leona; and Xue, Shengkai.
The application for the patent was published on September 18, 2026, under issue no. 38/2026.
Abstract: Provided is a method with which it is possible to efficiently produce neon by reducing a load applied to an adsorption tower when producing neon from a raw-material mixed gas containing neon, helium, hydrogen, and nitrogen. Also provided is an apparatus with which it is possible to efficiently produce neon. This method for producing neon from a raw-material mixed gas containing neon, helium, hydrogen, and nitrogen includes a hydrogen gas conversion step for bringing the raw-material mixed gas and an oxygen-containing gas into contact with a catalyst to convert hydrogen gas to water, a water removal step for removing water from the gas obtained through the hydrogen gas conversion step, a first nitrogen rectification and separation step for rectifying the gas obtained through the water removal step to remove nitrogen, an impurity gas adsorption and separation step for bringing the gas obtained through the first nitrogen rectification and separation step into contact with an adsorbent to remove nitrogen, and a helium rectification and separation step for rectifying the gas obtained through the impurity gas adsorption and separation step to remove helium gas.
