A rapid pressure swing adsorption (RPSA) process includes the use of an adsorbent fabric. The fabric can be self-supporting, have an average pore diameter greater than 5 .ANG. and/or have a carbon dioxide mass transfer coefficient of at least 0.5 sec-1. Activated carbon cloths can be suitable for us
