Zusammenfassung:An optimal material composition that allows for the purification of at least one feed component from a fluid feed stream such that the adsorbent has an oxygen capacity of at least 10 weight percent is described. More specifically, the material is an adsorbent for purification of a fluid feed stream having an oxygen to argon selectivity greater than or equal to a ratio of 3:1 and an oxygen capacity of greater than or equal to 10 weight percent, wherein the oxygen capacity is measured at a pressure in the range of about 9-10 Torr and a temperature of 77 degrees Kelvin after 4 hours of equilibration time and wherein the oxygen to argon selectivity is obtained by dividing the oxygen capacity by the argon capacity of the adsorbent measured at a pressure in the range of about 697-700 Torr and a temperature of 87 degrees Kelvin after 8 hours of equilibration time. The adsorption capacities are measured on a pure component basis.
