Abstract
A monolith for catalytic or sorbent purposes. The monolith includes a substrate sheet having attached thereto a plurality of catalytic or sorbent beads. Each bead has a diameter of at least fifty microns. The substrate sheet at least partially defines one or more channels through the monolith. Fluid flowing through the channels will contact the beads for catalytic or sorbent purposes.

A monolith for catalytic or sorbent purposes, the monolith comprising a substrate sheet having attached thereto a plurality of catalytic or sorbent beads, each bead having a diameter of at least 50 microns, each bead having catalytic or sorbent material on an exposed surface of the bead, the substrate sheet at least partially defining one or more channels through the monolith, the one or more channels being effective to permit a fluid to contact the beads when the fluid flows through the channel.
A method of making a monolith for catalytic or sorbent purposes, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a substrate sheet having a top surface and a bottom surface;
- (b) coating one or both of the surfaces with an adhesive composition;
- and
- (c) contacting the coated surface or surfaces with a plurality of catalytic or sorbent beads so that the beads are attached to the substrate sheet, each bead having a diameter of at least 50 microns, each bead having catalytic or sorbent material on an exposed surface of the bead.
