Abstract

The invention relates to new separation column and Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) processes for utilization in the purification of gas streams. Therefore, the present invention consists of a separation column comprising two layers of adsorbent material with different characteristics concerning their utility. Particularly, the first layer of adsorbent performs a kinetic separation while the second layer of adsorbent performs a separation by difference in adsorption equilibrium. This layer acts as a 'support barrier' to CO2. The PSA process performs separation cycles by using one or more of said separation columns, each cycle comprising five different steps. This process allows removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from a stream rich in methane (CH4), preferably to produce fuel-grade methane with some relevance for the chemical industries, fuel production, methane purification, its use as reagent in chemical industry and in the removal of carbon dioxide in pipeline transport.
