Pressure swing adsorption method and device

摘要

Procedure to the adsorptive decomposition of a hydrogen-containing gas mixture comprises introducing the gas mixture over an adsorption bed, having an active charcoal layer and a downstream molecular sieve layer of 5A-type and removing a hydrogen rich gas mixture; where an intermediate layer such as a molecular sieve of X-type is present in between the active charcoal layer and downstream molecular sieve layer. An independent claim is included for a device for the adsorptive decomposition of the hydrogen-containing gas mixture.
