Abstract:
1. A gas separation process comprising contacting a gas mixture containing at least one contaminant with an adsorbent bed of structured adsorbent particles comprising a thin film adsorbent coating on the exterior of a low permeability core, wherein the adsorbent particles have: wherein the adsorbent particles are positioned in the adsorbent bed with a void fraction not more than 30%, and in an ordered configuration to provide substantially longitudinally extensive, substantially aligned gas channels by which the gas mixture to be separated can access the adsorbent material along the length of at least a proportion of the particles to cause adsorption of at least some of the contaminants and to form a purified gas product having a reduced content of the adsorbed contaminant material.
