NOVEL ADSORBENT COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Adsorbent compositions useful in adsorption, separation and purification processes are made using silicone-derived binding agents. The adsorbent compositions having enhanced adsorption rate and crush strength properties are made from agglomerated crystallite particles bound with silicone-derived binding agents. The silicone binder precursors are calcined during the manufacturing process to produce the silicone-derived binding agents. The adsorbent compositions are preferably used in air separation processes.
