Abstract:
1. A method for regenerating at least one impurity-adsorbing sorbent bed, the method comprising: a) passing impurity-containing fluid through the impurity-adsorbing sorbent bed, the impurity-containing fluid containing an impurity; b) adsorbing the impurity in the impurity-containing fluid with the impurity-adsorbing sorbent bed to produce a purified fluid; c) sending a portion of the purified fluid back through the impurity-adsorbing sorbent bed that contains the impurity adsorbed in step b; and d) exposing the impurity-adsorbing sorbent bed of step c to microwave energy to desorb the impurity adsorbed on the impurity-adsorbing sorbent bed.
