Abstract:
1. A method of determining gas capacity of an adsorbent material used in a gas separation process comprising the steps of: a. taking a sample of the adsorbent material used in the gas separation process and placing the sample in a container means in a controlled environment; b. weighing the sample of the adsorbent material in the controlled environment; c. measuring the ambient temperature of the controlled environment; d. flowing a dry gas into the controlled environment; e. adsorbing the gas onto the sample of adsorbent material; f. saturating the sample with a liquid displacing agent and displacing the adsorbed gas from the sample of adsorbent material; g. measuring the volume of gas released from the sample of adsorbent material; and h. determining the gas capacity by calculating the ratio of gas released to the weight of the sample.
