Claim Text:
1. A Temperature Swing Adsorption method for separating a first component, comprising a more adsorbable component, from a feed stream comprising more than 50 mol % of a second component, comprising a less adsorbable component, the method comprising: providing an adsorbent structure suitable for adsorbing the first component, the structure being of the parallel passage contactor type, and cyclically implementing the steps consisting of: a) passing the feed stream through the adsorbent structure thus adsorbing the first component and producing a stream depleted in the first component and enriched in the second component, b) heating the adsorbent structure to desorb the adsorbed first component by means of circulating a heating stream enriched in the first component at a temperature suitable for regeneration, c) cooling the structure by means of passing through it more than 50% of the stream enriched in the second component produced in the step a).
