Abstract
A gas separation unit for the separation of a first gas from a mixture containing said first gas as well as further gases by a cyclic adsorption/desorption process using a loose particulate sorbent material for gas adsorption. The particulate sorbent material is arranged in at least two stacked layers () that are mounted on a stiff rectangular circumferential frame (). A plurality of tubes () is provided for a heat exchange fluid within the frame (). The tubes () are in thermal contact with a plurality of sheets () of metal which are arranged essentially perpendicular to a main plane of the frame () and perpendicular to the tubes (). The sheets () extend in a continuous manner between a first pair of mutually parallel metal profiles (') and are provided with a plurality of holes () through which the plurality of tubes () penetrate.
