Abstract
Abstract A process is provided for the selective adsorption of one or more minor constituents from a bulk gas stream using a chabazite in which the bulk gas is size excluded from the pore structure of the chabazite or the minor constituent to be separated has a heat of adsorption greater than that of the bulk gas and the process is carried out under conditions such that the partial pressure of the minor constituent is in the linear low pressure region of the isotherm for the minor constituent and the adsorbent is a dehydrated divalent cation-containing chabazite having a Si/Al ratio of 1.8 to 2.7, a cation sitting, f s , of 0.7 to 1, and a cation distribution, f d , of 0.62 to 1.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
146 words
In a process for the selective adsorption of one or more minor constituents from a bulk gas stream with a chabazite in which the bulk gas is size excluded from the pore structure of the chabazite or the minor constituted to be separated has a heat of adsorption greater than the bulk gas, the improvement which comprises separating the minor constituents utilizing a dehydrated calcium-exchanged chabazite having a Si/Al ratio of 1.9 to 2.3, a cation siting value f s , of about 0.9 to 1, a cation distribution value, f d , of about 0.74 to 1 and an adsorption capacity, C v , of at least about 40 cc N 2 /g at 30 ° C. and 1 atm under conditions such that the partial pressure of the minor constituent is in the linear low pressure region of the isotherm for the minor constituent.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
