Pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes rely on the fact that under pressure, gases tend to be attracted to solid surfaces. Different gases tend to be attracted to different solid surfaces more or less strongly. As a result, PSA processes are widely used for gas separation and purification. For example, green technology research employs PSA to capture carbon dioxide from coal-fired power plants i...
