ABSTRACT:
A process for separating a feed gas mixture into a more strongly adsorbable component and a less strongly adsorbable component in a plurality of adsorbent beds containing an adsorbent selective for the more strongly adsorbable component using pressurization by product end to product end pressure equalization between beds simultaneous with cocurrent ambient and elevated pressure feed pressurization, coproduction of product and purge gas, and cocurrent depressurization for pressure equalization gas simultaneous with countercurrent evacuation. Oxygen product can be recovered from air at high recovery using the process.
