<p>A sorber (18, 30, 70) comprises a plurality of sorbent disks (36, 45, 50, 60, 65, 74, 84, 91, 94) formed of solid sorbent material, e.g. zeolite and provided on at least one of their faces with surface features, e.g. grooves (51, 61, 62, 66) which form passageways for distributing sorbate throughout the mass of sorbent material. In one embodiment, each sorbent disk is annular in shape with an aperture through its center. The disks are stacked face-to-face and an inner conductor (38, 75, 82, 92) is inserted through the center apertures of the disks. This assembly is then inserted into a conductive housing (34, 73, 83, 93) closed by a pair of end caps (41, 76, 77). A port (43) in one of the end caps allows sorbate to enter and exit the sorber. The sorber forms a coaxial transmission line for electomagnetic waves which are used to desord sorbate from the sorbent disks</p> |
