Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2015036673A2] In a process for separation of a gas mixture by separation at sub-ambient temperature, a gaseous mixture at a first pressure is cooled and then separated in a separation unit (23, 25), a liquid (47) is extracted from the separation unit and vaporised to form a gaseous product under pressure, and at least a part of the heat of vaporisation of the liquid is supplied by a heat pump (31) using the magnetocaloric effect for which the hot source exchanges heat, directly or indirectly, with the liquid that is vaporised.
