Abstract
An adsorptive gas separation apparatus and method is disclosed. An adsorbent structure may include a first adsorbent layer having at least a first adsorbent material, a second adsorbent layer including at least a second adsorbent material, and a barrier layer, where the barrier layer is interposed between the first adsorbent layer and the second adsorbent layer. A parallel passage contactor including a plurality of adsorbent structures each comprising a barrier layer, and arranged to form first and second fluid passages is also disclosed. An adsorption process for separating at least a first component from a multi-component fluid stream using the adsorbent structure is also provided.
