Abstract
Pressure swing adsorption is performed to separate a feed gas mixture into a product gas and a depleted gas mixture, in which either a more readily adsorbed component or a less readily adsorbed component of the feed gas mixture has been substanitally purified in the product gas. The apparatus and process provide for recovery of expansion energy, and for large exchanges of fresh feed gas for depleted gas mixture during each cycle.
