Annotation:

When producing liquefied natural gas, field processing of natural gas, chemical processing of gases and petrochemicals, one of the important technological processes is gas adsorption drying. The article presents the results of a comparative assessment of the dynamic adsorption activity of industrial microporous and large-pore silica gels in air and methane drying. It is shown that the dynamic adsorption activity of microporous silica gel in both air and methane drying exceeds the activity of coarse-pored silica gel.
