Monolith adsorbents for air separation processes

摘要

An improved method for preparing an adsorbent containing sheet is disclosed. Alkali or alkaline metal salts or mixtures thereof are added to a slurry during preparation of the adsorbent containing sheet or washed onto a finished adsorbent monolith which was prepared from the adsorbent containing sheet. The treated adsorbent monoliths provide improved sorption capacity and N2/02 selectivity when employed in gas separation processes.
