Integral coupling of reaction with a single-bed rapid cycle pressure swing adsorber provides a hybrid device having improved performance characteristics including better separation and more efficient reactions. A single packed bed containing a mixture of catalyst and adsorbent is featured. Gaseous reactants are fed into the bed in a sequence including inflow, relax, and backflow, portions. The hybrid device, designated as a periodic separating reactor (PSR), enhances both the total conversion and selectivity of reactions. In an illustrative example with respect to CO oxidation, conversion 2.5 times that typically exhibited for the corresponding steady-state plug flow reactors was observed. The separation performance (selectivity) of the hybrid device/process can be enhanced, illustratively for irreversible reaction systems, up to 104 times that possible in pressure swing adsorption processes without reaction. The particular exit stream in which a component is enriched is a function of reaction rates, feed composition, adsorption capacities, delivery flow rate, and the feed fraction of the process cycle. Separation between reaction components, local reduction of reactant partial pressures, changes in the residence time distribution, and the nature of the reaction rate law contribute to the observed process performance. A modeling scheme is proposed to describe the behavior of the hybrid device and the expected results from application of the process to any particular reaction.

A pressure-periodic process for reacting and separating gaseous components, the process comprising the steps of: (a) introducing into a single bed chemical processing unit at a first pressure and in a first direction of flow, a multicomponent feed gas for forming both a reaction product and an adsorption product during a pressurization portion of a pressure cycle, said single bed chemical processing unit having an adsorption zone and a reaction zone arranged in series with each other with respect to said first direction of flow, said reaction zone being located downstream from said adsorption zone, a first end adjacent said adsorption zone having a first input having open and closed states for controlling the introduction of the multicomponent feed gas and a first output having open and closed states, and a second end downstream from said adsorption zone having a second output, said first input being in said open state and said first output being in said closed state during said step of introducing; (b) permitting adsorption of a component of the multicomponent feed gas in the adsorption zone, and reaction between at least two components of the multicomponent feed gas to produce the reaction product in the reaction zone, said adsorbed component of the feed gas being the adsorption product, said first output being in a closed state during at least a portion of this step; (c) continuously withdrawing at a second pressure, which is a residual pressure lower than said first pressure, the reaction product from the second output in the first direction of flow, said first output being in closed then open states during successive portions of this step; (d) terminating step (a) by placing said first input in said closed state, said first input remaining in a closed state for a period of time after performing said present step of terminating, and said first output being in a closed state during performance said present step of terminating; and (e) exhausting at a third pressure, by placing said first output in said open state, and desorbing said adsorption product through said first output, said adsorption product being said previously adsorbed component of the multicomponent feed gas, before the pressure equalizes from the first end to the second end and after a delay after initiating step (d), said third pressure being a residual pressure which is sufficiently low to permit said previously adsorbed component to be desorbed, whereby the flow of said adsorption product is in a direction within said single bed chemical processing unit contrary to the first direction of flow, said first output remaining in a closed state substantially throughout the duration of step (b).
