Patent ID: 7972422

Claim:
A system for continuous adsorption of a given gas species from a flowing mixture of gas species, comprising: a) a housing having first and second end plates disposed at opposite ends thereof, wherein at least one of said first and second end plates includes a plurality of ports for entrance and exit of said flowing mixture of gas species and for entrance and exit of at least one flowing regenerative gas species; b) a reversibly adsorptive medium rotatably disposed within said housing between said first and second end plates; and c) a rotator for rotating said reversibly adsorptive medium into and out of selective communication with said entrance and exit ports for said at least one flowing regenerative gas species and said entrance and exit ports for said flowing mixture of gas species; wherein said reversibly adsorptive medium comprises an inert substrate formed as a plurality of channels extending longitudinally of said substrate and wherein walls of said channels are covered by a material reversibly adsorbent of said given gas species, and wherein said material reversibly adsorbent of said given gas species includes nickel and a rare earth element.
