1. A method for separating gas in which at least two main gas components are separated and recovered from a gas mixture containing the at least two main gas components by a pressure swing adsorption method, wherein the method comprises the steps of:pressurizing the gas mixture; alternately repeating a step in which a first main gas component is separated as a first gas product using a first adsorbent, which does not readily adsorb the first main gas component and which easily adsorbs a second main gas component, and a step, in which the second main gas component is separated as a second gas product using a second adsorbent, which easily adsorbs the first main gas component and which does not readily adsorb the second main gas component, and thereby the first and second gas products are yielded simultaneously from the gas mixture, wherein during the step in which the first and second main gas components are separated as the first and second gas products, the first and second gas products are stored in product tanks; and after the step in which the first and second main gas components are separated as the first and second gas products, the first and second gas products, which are stored in the product tanks, are used for purging the first and second adsorbents, a gas adsorbed by the at least one of the first or second adsorbent is joined to the gas mixture, and the gas mixture is air. 2. A method for separating gas according to claim 1, wherein the first adsorbent is a zeolite and the second adsorbent is a molecular sieve carbon.3. A method for separating gas in which at least two main gas components are separated and recovered from a gas mixture containing the at least two main gas components by a pressure swing adsorption method, wherein the method comprises the steps of:pressurizing the gas mixture; alternately repeating a step in which a first main gas component is separated as a first gas product using a first adsorbent, which does not readily adsorb the first main gas component and which easily adsorbs a second main gas component, and a step, in which the second main gas component is separated as a second gas product using a second adsorbent, which easily adsorbs the first main gas component and which does not readily adsorb the second main gas component, and thereby the first and second gas products are yielded simultaneously from the gas mixture, wherein during the step in which the first and second main gas components are separated as the first and second gas products, the first and second gas products are stored in product tanks; and after the step in which the first and second main gas components are separated as the first and second gas products, the first and second gas products, which are stored in the product tanks, are used for purging the first and second adsorbents, a gas adsorbed by the at least one of the first or second adsorbent is joined to the gas mixture, and the gas mixture contains nitrogen and at least one of krypton and xenon. 4. A method for separating gas according to claim 3, wherein the first adsorbent is a Na-A type zeolite which selectively adsorbs nitrogen; and the second adsorbent is an activated carbon which selectively adsorbs krypton and xenon.5. A system for separating gas in which at least two main gas components are separated from a gas mixture containing the at least two main gas components by a pressure swing adsorption system, wherein the system comprises:a gas pressurizing device; a first adsorption column filled with a first adsorbent, which does not readily adsorb the first main gas component and which easily adsorbs a second main gas component; a second adsorption column filled with a second adsorbent, which easily adsorbs the first main gas component and which does not readily adsorb the second main gas component; and pipelines and valves for introducing alternately the gas mixture into the first and second columns and through which the first and second main gas components from the first and second columns flows; a first product tank for storing the first main gas component, which is provided with a pipeline connected with the first adsorption column; a pipeline through which the first main gas component from the first product tank flows back to the first adsorption column; a second product tank for storing the second main gas component, which is provided with a pipeline connected with the second adsorption column; a pipeline through which the second main gas component from the second product tank flows back to the second adsorption column; a first exhaust pipe for exhausting the second main gas component adsorbed in the first adsorption column; and a second exhaust pipe for exhausting the first main gas component adsorbed in the second adsorption column; wherein the first and second exhaust pipes are joined with the pipelines for alternately introducing the gas mixture into the first and second adsorption columns. 6.
