Kinetic selectivities between O_2 and Ar in four adsorbents were compared based on equilibria and kinetics measured at low pressure. The equilibrium and kinetic parameters of Ar on the chosen sample, a Carbon Molecular Sieve, were then measured over a wide pressure range. These equilibrium and kinetic parameters were used to theoretically investigate separation of O_2-Ar mixture by Pressure Swing Adsorption.
