Abstract

The invention comprises a pressure swing adsorption process for the separation of a less adsorbable component from a mixture comprising the less adsorbable component and a more adsorbable component, the process comprising a cyclic adsorption/desorption process wherein the desorption step is at a selected pressure and occurs for a selected time such that a pressure reducing apparatus utilized to evacuate the gas does not require extraneous cooling.
