Abstract
A sorbent composition comprising a first sorbent bed of hygroscopic aluminosilicate sorbent and a second sorbent bed comprising an aluminosilicate sorbent impregnated with an aqueous base solution, whereby the hygroscopic aluminosilicate sorbent provides an initial contact zone to protect upstream gas and processing equipment from reaction products resulting from back-diffusion of water which will occur in the absence of the first sorbent.
Claims11
A sorbent composition comprising an arrangement of first and second sorbent beds, wherein the first sorbent bed comprises a hygroscopic aluminosilicate sorbent, and the second sorbent bed comprises an aluminosilicate sorbent impregnated with an aqueous base solution, wherein the first and second sorbent beds are arranged for initial gas contacting with the first sorbent bed and succeeding gas contacting with the second sorbent bed.
