Removal of acid gases from gas mixtures using ion exchange resins
First Claim
1. A process for separating one or more acid gases from a gas stream containing said acid gas and at least one other component, comprising bringing said gas stream into contact with a macroreticular anion exchange resin containing quaternary ammonium functionalities and counter-anions which are the conjugate bases of acids having a pKa greater than 3 and less than 14, which anion exchange resin selectively absorbs, and thereby removes, said acid gas from the gas stream.

Abstract
A process is provided for selectively removing acid gases from a gas mixture by contacting said gas mixture with an anion exchange resin containing quaternary ammonium functionalities and moderately basic counteranions. The absorption process is reversible and the absorbent can be regenerated using an inert gas purge or by applying a vacuum.
