Stackable solid sorbent layers for gas separation and method of making

Abstract

An apparatus for removing a gas component from a gas mixture includes a plurality of solid sorbent layers stacked in series to provide a contactor assembly of solid sorbent layers receptive to the gas mixture and configured to reversibly adsorb at least a portion of the gas component from the gas mixture, each solid sorbent layer being traversed by at least one gas flow channel. A method for removing a gas component from a gas mixture includes obtaining a plurality of solid sorbent layers, each solid sorbent layer having a gas flow channel traversing the solid sorbent layer, stacking the plurality of solid sorbent layers in series to provide a contactor assembly of solid sorbent layers, and flowing the gas mixture through the contactor assembly of solid sorbent layers to remove the selected gas component from the gas mixture.
