Air separation by adsorption

摘要

In an adiabatic pressure swing system for air separation by selective adsorption in at least two zeolitic molecular sieve beds in which the coldest gas temperature in the depressed temperature section adjacent the inlet end is no warmer than 35 DEG F and the DELTA T at least 50 DEG F, heat is transferred thereto by metal solid conduction within the bed at rate sufficient to maintain such temperature at least 20 DEG F warmer but less than 110 DEG F.
