<p>PROCESS FOR THE SEPARATION OF CONTAMINANTS FROM FEED STREAMS USING MAGNETIC BEDS The invention relates to the removal of contaminants from fluid streams in a continuous process by adsorption on solid adsorbents, particularly small particle size adsorbents, which also include a magnetizable component, wherein the adsorption and desorption are carried out at substantially the same pressure. The adsorbent particles and magnetizable component which flow or move through the vessel are stabilized against fluid by-passing and solids back-mixing and recirculation generally associated with fluidized beds (except for the flow or movement of the solids through the contacting vessels) during adsorption and desorption by the use of an applied magnetic field.</p> |
