Perforated Adsorbent Particles

摘要

An adsorption vessel comprising a packed bed region of adsorbent particles contiguously arranged, comprising a perforated adsorbent particles, a gas separation process using the perforated adsorbent particles, and methods for making the perforated adsorbent particles. The perforated adsorbent particles each comprise an adsorbent material where the perforated adsorbent particles each have at least 10 channels extending through the particle. The equivalent diameter of the channels may range from 0.05 mm to 1.5 mm, and the void fraction of the channels may range from 0.05 to 0.5.

1. An adsorption vessel comprising:
a packed bed region of adsorbent particles contiguously arranged, comprising a plurality of perforated adsorbent particles, wherein each perforated adsorbent particle comprises an adsorbent material capable of preferentially adsorbing at least one more strongly adsorbable gaseous component in a mixture comprising at least two gaseous components comprising the at least one more strongly adsorbable component and at least one less strongly adsorbable component, wherein the adsorbent material is a material selected from the group consisting of activated alumina, activated carbon, zeolites, mesopore-structured materials, carbon molecular sieve, metal-organic framework materials, silica gel, and combinations thereof; and wherein each perforated adsorbent particle defines a respective plurality of channels numbering at least 10, the respective plurality of channels extending through each perforated adsorbent particle in a lengthwise direction from a first end to a second end.
