Sircar, S

Two pressure swing adsorption processes for separation of methane and carbon dioxide gas mixtures are described. One process simultaneously produces a high purity CH/sub 4/ and a high purity CO/sub 2/ product with high recoveries of both components from the feed gas. The other process only produces a high purity CH/sub 4/ product with high recovery. Test data for these processes are reported and their relative advantages are discussed.
