Abstract
A multi-step process for removing COfrom a process gas stream having COand other gaseous components commences by adjusting the temperature of a COladen process gas stream to be between about 80° and about 500° C. A first part of the temperature adjusted process gas stream is taken and contacted with a adsorbent in thermal contact with a heat-exchange surface. The remainder of said temperature adjusted process gas stream is taken and contacted with said heat-exchange surface to transfer heat to said adsorbent, thus causing any adsorbed COto be desorbed for collection, and to cool said process gas stream remainder and removing any condensate from said cooled process gas stream remainder. The cooled process gas stream remainder is passed in contact with a cooled section of said adsorbent to adsorb COtherefrom, producing a COdepleted process gas stream. The desorbed COis withdrawn for collection. The COdepleted process gas stream is passed into contact with heated regenerated adsorbent to cool it sufficiently for return of the process. Finally, any fines are withdrawn for collection.
