Abstract
Abstract Zeolitic molecular sieves having high SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratios and containing Cu + cations are found to exhibit a high degree of selectivity and affinity for CO molecules and are capable of separating CO from gas streams even when water vapor is present.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 7
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
Process for removing carbon monoxide from a gas stream comprising at least 10 ppm CO by volume and at least one other constituent selected from the group consisting of H 2 O and CO 2 which process comprises passing said gas stream at a temperature of from 0 to 300° C. through an adsorbent mass of a crystalline zeolitic molecular sieve having a framework SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio of from 20 to 200 and having as zeolite constituents monovalent copper cations, whereby CO molecules are adsorbed and a CO-depleted effluent gas stream is obtained.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
Process according to claim 1 wherein the framework SiO 2 /Al 2 O 3 molar ratio is from 20 to 100.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
17 words
Process according to claim 2 wherein the CO-containing gas stream comprises at least 5 volume percent CO.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
19 words
Process according to claim 3 wherein the gas stream comprises CO, water vapor, CO 2 and N 2 .
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
19 words
Process according to claim 3 wherein the gas stream consists essentially of CO, CO 2 and H 2 .
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
18 words
Process according to claim 3 wherein the gas stream is the vent gas stream from a blast furnace.
