Abstract
A continuous process for separating components of a fluid mixture is disclosed which comprises forming a sorption zone and a desorption zone, said zones being separated by a boundary of a sorbent material which continuously moves back and forth between the zones, causing a fluid mixture to flow into the sorption zone wherein the conditions are such to promote sorption of one of the components of the mixture by the sorbent material, and creating conditions in the desorption zone such that the sorbed component will be desorbed when the sorbent material containing the sorbed component moves into the desorption zone.
