ABSTRACT: The efficiency of sorption purification of gases, as measured by an improvement in product quality
and/or lowering of its cost, can be significantly increased via simple solutions: the substitution of
current getter technology with reactive getters; and stimulation of the material in the sorption
process using mechanochemical methods instead of heating or cooling. These ideas were embodied
by the authors in new sorption apparatuses and devices such as mechanochemical sorption
apparatuses for production of ultra pure gases, improved gas purifiers with reactive sorbent for
production of pure and high purity gases and, finally, fluidized bed columns for mass production
of pure and high purity gases.
