Abstract
A plant includes an adsorber in which a metal is plated onto a non-metallic sacrificial materials from a metal carbonyl at a predetermined temperature. Particularly preferred adsorbers include two sections, wherein a first metal (e.g., nickel) is plated onto graphite in the first section, and wherein a second metal (e.g., iron) is plated onto graphite in the second section.
Claims20
An adsorber comprising a sacrificial non-metallic material onto which a metal is plated from a metal carbonyl contained in a feed gas at a temperature sufficient to plate the metal onto the non-metallic material.
A method of reducing a metal carbonyl concentration in a feed gas, comprising:
- providing a feed gas that includes a metal carbonyl;
- and
- contacting the feed gas in an adsorber with a sacrificial non-metallic material at a temperature sufficient to plate a metal from the metal carbonyl onto the sacrificial non-metallic material.
