In our current life, a severe challenge is faced with a lack of synthetic oxygen because of infection with the Coronavirus. Oxygen can be supplied by using selective adsorption of nitrogen from the air using Pressure-Vacuum Swing Adsorption (PVSA). The experimental layout consists of one column (inner diameter 4 cm) packed with commercial Li⁺ cation loaded on the zeolite low silica type x (Li-LSX zeolite), the particle size of zeolite is 0.4-0.8 mm of 9 cm in height. The effects of inlet air pressure 0.5-2.5 bar and inlet air flow rate 2-10 L min -1 on outlet oxygen purity and recovery were studied. Also, the isotherm behavior was studied to determine the type of adsorption. The results showed that increasing inlet pressure and flow rate increased the amount of adsorbed nitrogen, i.e., increased oxygen purity in the outlet. The effect of pressure tended to reduce the adsorption over a certain limit 2.5 bar due to forcing gas molecules to enter the sites on the zeolite particles' surfaces. Optimization was oobserved (73.14 % purity, 2.4496 recovery, and 153.471 mmolKg -1 s -1 ) with productivity of oxygen at 2.5 bar and 8 L min -1 . Also, the adsorption isotherm and breakthrough curve were studied.

This research investigates the optimum operating conditions related to the adsorption of nitrogen gas from ambient air on zeolite Li-LSX to produce oxygen gas by the pressure-vacuum swing adsorption process. Experiments were performed using a column (4 cm inside diameter and 17 cm length) packed with different heights of packing (h) of zeolite (9, 12, and 16 cm) from 0.4 to 0.8 mm diameter pellets. At each packing height, different flow rates (f) (2, 4, 6, 8, and 10 L·min−1) for different input pressures ( p ) (0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, and 2.5 bar) were used to detect their effects on the purity of produced oxygen as percentage volume of the outlet air stream. The results showed that the purity of produced oxygen increased with increasing packing height, pressure, and flowrate to a specific limit. The maximum purity obtained was 73.15% at 16 cm packing height, 2.5 bar input pressure, and 6 L·min−1 inlet flowrate, and the productivity was equal to 18 mmol·(Kg·s)−1 at these conditions. A response surface methodology was used to determine the most influential variables and their interactions. The results confirmed the strong effects of the input pressure, the packing height, and to a lesser extent, the flowrate. A quadratic model was predicted based on the experimental result and assessed statistically. The impacts of quadratic terms in the model were in the order: of p ∗ p > p ∗ h > p ∗ f . The model was applied to predict the operating conditions of 95% purity of oxygen.
