Abstract:
1. A high frequency PSA apparatus for conducting a rapid pressure swing adsorption process for the separation of a selectively adsorbable component from a gas mixture comprising the selectively adsorbable component and at least one less selectively adsorbable component wherein the apparatus: has at least one adsorbent bed containing adsorbent material having a mean particle diameter and capable of adsorbing and desorbing the selectively adsorbable component using a cycle frequency of greater than 0.25 Hz and the ratio of the adsorbent bed length to the mean particle diameter squared is greater than or equal to 200 mm-1 and less than or equal to 600 mm-1, and has a recovery of said at least one less selectively adsorbable product component from said gas mixture at least 50%.
