Abstract:
1. An adsorption system, comprising: (a) a vessel containing a protected solid adsorbent, (b) a supply of heating/cooling fluid in fluid communication with the adsorbent in the vessel, (c) a supply of working fluid comprising an active agent that can reversibly bind to the solid adsorbent by adsorption, and (d) a means for supplying heat to the heating/cooling fluid, the protected solid adsorbent comprising a solid adsorbent substrate and a surface layer which protects the solid adsorbent from interaction with the heating/cooling fluid and is permeable to the active agent to permit the active agent to penetrate the surface layer and adsorb onto the solid adsorbent.
