Title: Falling microbead counter-flow process for separating gas mixtures

Patent ·
OSTI ID:1190921
; ;

A method and reactor for removing a component from a gas stream is provided. In one embodiment, the method includes providing the gas stream containing the component that is to be removed and adsorbing the component out of the gas stream as the gas stream rises via microbeads of a sorbent falling down an adsorber section of a reactor.
