Abstract:
1. An adsorptive bed to receive a liquid flow comprising: a housing having a first surface; a scaffold disposed within the housing in contact with the first surface comprising: a plurality of adsorptive beads filling the plurality of open cells forming a packed bed of the plurality of adsorptive beads; wherein the scaffold restricts movement of the plurality of adsorptive beads, absorbs compressive stress induced by a hydraulic pressure gradient along a direction of the liquid flow and transfers a portion of the induced compressive stress to the first surface of the housing; and wherein the rigid structure comprises a plurality of stacked planarly cohesive separator sheets, each of the plurality of stacked planarly cohesive separator sheets being in intimate contact with adjacent ones of the plurality of stacked planarly cohesive separator sheets, each of the plurality of the stacked planarly cohesive separator sheets comprising a plurality of rigid structural members arranged to define the plurality of open cells.
