Composite adsorbent beads have a porous and non-adsorbent core comprising at least one inorganic material and a porous and adsorbent shell comprising at least one adsorbent layer comprising a porous adsorbent material on the surface of the core. The core preferably comprises agglomerated inorganic particles having a mean particle size equal to or smaller than the mean particle size of the surrounding agglomerated adsorbent particles. The beads preferably are manufactured by calcining together a non-sintered core and the adsorbent layer. The beads can be used at the outlet end of an adsorption column to improve performance.

The invention relates to bodies for separating out a component contained in a gas mixture. The gas mixtures may, for example, be crude gases which contain hydrocarbons, such as natural gas, or exhaust gas. According to the object which is set, the bodies according to the invention are intended to be able to separate components out of gas mixtures over longer periods of time with an approximately constant performance. The body according to the invention has regions which are active in the separation and are formed from a porous shell. These bodies which have a porous shell can be used in a device, and at least one bed formed from a bulk mass of these bodies may be present within a vessel, with the gas mixture being passed through this bed in order for the undesired component to be separated out. The invention is particularly advantageously suited to separating sulfur compounds out of gas mixtures.
