โฆ Synopsis
The separation of air by pressure swing adsorption is improved by filling the interparticle voids in kinetically selective adsorbent beds with fine particles of the adsorbent or inert material. The ratio of the average diameter of the coarse adsorbent particles to the average diameter of the fine particles, the size of the fine particles themselves, and the percent of volume of the fine particles in the bed are all critical to optimum PSA pei$ormance.

The dispersion models developed by Turner and Aris for fluids flowing in packed beds of porous solids is here extended to packed beds of porous adsorbing solids. For the nonadsorbing systems it was found that molecular diffusion, convective flow in the bed channels, and holdup in pores are additive
