ABSTRACT:
The disclosure relates to a method and apparatus for sorptively storing a multiconstituent gas in, and for selectively releasing the multiconstituent gas from, a vessel having a predetermined sorbent material therein, while substantially preserving minimum quantities or concentrations of certain constituents of the gas. In such a method and apparatus, a first of the constituents of the multiconstituent gas which is preferentially sorbed by the sorbent material, is present in the multiconstituent gas in a predetermined minimum concentration level substantially less than that of the second constituent. First, the sorbent material in the vessel is sorptively saturated with a pre-storage quantity of the first constituent at a first predetermined pressure. Then the multiconstituent gas to be stored is introduced under pressure into the vessel, with the vessel being pressurized to a second predetermined pressure above the first predetermined pressure. Thus both of the first and second constituents are sorptively stored in the vessel on the sorbent material therein. When the stored multiconstituent gas is selectively released from the vessel, the sorbent material desorptively release the multiconstituent gas with the first constituent being present in at least the above-mentioned predetermined concentration as the pressure in the vessel decreases.
