    [0001] The invention relates to the use of zeolitic adsorbent materials in the form of agglomerates comprising at least one zeolite of type A, the said adsorbents exhibiting a composition of at least one type of zeolite. a large external surface characterized by nitrogen adsorption, and a high microporous volume, for separation in the gas phase, in particular in pressure-modulated processes, either of the PSA (Pressure Swing Adsorption) type or English language) either of the type VSA (Vacuum Swing Adsorption in the English language), or of the VPSA type (hybrid process of the two previous ones), or of the RPSA type ("Rapid Pressure Swing Adsorption" in English) in temperature modulated methods of the temperature-modulated Adsorption ("Temperature Swing Adsorption" type in English) and / or in PTSA pressure and temperature modulated processes (Pressure and Temperature Swing Adsorption). The present invention also relates to a gas separation and purification process using said zeolite adsorbents having a large zo external surface. The invention also relates to zeolitic adsorbent materials that can be used in the context of the present invention, comprising potassium and / or calcium and / or sodium. [0004] The use of this type of agglomerate is particularly advantageous in applications where the kinetics of transfer, the adsorption volume capacity, parameters determining the efficiency and the overall productivity of the process, as well as low losses. load are sought. In adsorption separation technologies, much effort has been made in recent years to increase the hourly productivity of the adsorbent beds, in particular by increasing the frequency of the adsorption / desorption cycles, which means that the adsorbent used, in addition to its thermodynamic adsorption properties, must be able to saturate by adsorption and restore desorption adsorbed gas in times of shorter and shorter periods. The adsorbents must therefore be designed so as to have the most efficient mass transfer possible, that is, so that the gases to be separated or purified reach the sites as quickly as possible. adsorption and also be desorbed as quickly as possible. Several tracks have been explored to achieve this goal. The first method proposed by the literature consists in reducing the size of the adsorbent particles. It is generally accepted that this has the effect of allowing a faster diffusion of the gases in the macroporous network, the material transfer kinetic constant being inversely proportional to the square of the particle diameter (or equivalent dimension, according to the morphology of the adsorbents). For example, the article "Adsorbent particle size effects in the separation of air adsorption" by E. Alpay et al., Chemical Engineering Science, 49 (18), 3059-3075, (1994). WO2008 / 152319 describes the preparation, by atomization, mechanically resistant adsorbents of small sizes, which are for example used in portable medical oxygen concentrators, as shown in US2013 / 0216627. The main drawback of the reduction in the size of the adsorbent particles is the increase in the pressure losses in the adsorbers and the significant energy consumption associated therewith. This is particularly unacceptable in industrial gas production adsorption processes. The second method is to improve the ability to intra-granular transfer adsorbents, without changing their size. International applications JP2157119, JP2002068732 and WO2002 / 49742 describe improved kinetics adsorbents obtained by zeolite active conversion of the agglomeration binder and the associated methods of gas separation, more effective than with conventional particles. [0009] The document WO2008 / 051904 proposes a method of manufacturing by extrusion / spheronization of zeolite adsorbent beads based on zeolites with improved diffusion. WO2008 / 109882 describes for its part the preparation of adsorbents with high mechanical strength and improved mass transfer from zeolites and less than 15% of silicic binder introduced in colloidal form. The application EP1240939 proposes to select for uses in the PSA or VSA process adsorbents having a ratio between their kinetic constants for transporting the adsorbable compounds in the gas phase and in the solid phase. US6328786 defines a minimum threshold of mechanical strength and a kinetic coefficient above which adsorbents are preferred for use in the PSA process. EP1048345 discloses high macroporosity adsorbents made by a spheronization and lyophilization technique. A third method is to improve access to the adsorbent by using different shaping geometries combining both reduced thicknesses of active material and fluid passage sections sufficiently wide to allow flow to occur. with limited losses. Adsorbent sheets and fabrics, monoliths of the honeycomb type, foams or others may be mentioned. Document FR2794993 proposes to use heterogeneous beads, with a thin adsorbent peripheral layer encapsulating an inert core: the diffusion distance is reduced, without increasing the loss of charge. This system has the defect of being of low volume efficiency: a substantial part of the adsorber is occupied by inert material in the sense of adsorption, which has a significant impact in terms of the dimensions of the installations and therefore investments, or even weight, which can be inconvenient, in the case of portable purification / separation apparatus, such as for example the medical oxygen concentrators. US2012 / 0093715 and US2013 / 0052126 patent applications teach that one can form monolithic zeolite structures with a hierarchical structure, by adding a polymer to the synthesis reaction medium: as for the sheets and the adsorbent tissues the solids obtained have a macroporous volume and a very large mesoporous volume, these solids are therefore very sparse and their volume efficiency is low, because of their low capacity for adsorption volume. Thus, all these adsorbent geometries of various natures pose relatively complex implementation problems, mechanical resistance to fatigue or attrition and low volume efficiency, since the content of active ingredient is often reduced to the benefit. inert binders or other mechanical reinforcing fibers or since the materials obtained are very sparse. There remains a need for zeolite adsorbents useful for the separation and purification of gases having good transfer properties that do not have the disadvantages associated with the use of the adsorbents of the prior art. In particular, there remains a need for a zeolitic adsorbent having greater adsorption capacities and better adsorption / desorption kinetics, allowing in particular a more intensive use of processes, including PSA processes, TSA or VPSA. The inventors have now discovered that the above objectives can be achieved in whole or at least in part through the adsorbents specifically dedicated to the uses of separation and purification of gases as they will be described now. Thus, and according to a first aspect, the invention relates to the use for the separation and / or the drying of gas, of at least one zeolite adsorbent material comprising at least one type A zeolite, said adsorbent having: - an external surface, measured by nitrogen adsorption and expressed in m2 per gram of adsorbent, greater than 20 m2.g-1, and preferably between 20 m2.g-1 and 300 m2.g- 1, and more preferably between 30 m2.g-1 and 250 m2.g-1 and even more preferably between 40 m2. g-1 and 200 m2.g-1, and especially between 50 m2.g-1 and 200 m2.g-1, a non-zeolite phase content (PNZ), such that 0 <PNZ 30%, preferably 3% PNZ 25%, more preferably 3% PNZ 20%, advantageously 5% PNZ 20%, more preferably 7% PNZ 18%, measured by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction), by weight by relative to the total weight of the adsorbent, and of the Si / Al atomic ratio of the adsorbent of between 1.0 and 2.0, preferably between 1.0 and 1.6, and very preferably, between 1.0 and 1.4, all measurements being performed on the adsorbent material exchanged at least 90% calcium. In the present description, the term "type A zeolite" refers to an LTA zeolite. According to a preferred embodiment, the type A zeolite is a mesoporous zeolite A chosen from zeolites 3A, 4A and 5A. By "3A" is meant a zeolite whose pore opening is equal to about 3 °; "4A" means a zeolite whose pore opening is equal to about 4; and "5A" means a zeolite whose pore opening is equal to about 5 Å. According to one embodiment of the invention, the zeolitic adsorbent material may also comprise one or more other zeolite (s) chosen from zeolites of type FAU (LSX, MSX, X, Y), of type LTA, CHA (Chabazite) type, HEU type (Clinoptilolite), and mixtures of two or more of them, and more preferably from zeolites 3A, 4A, 5A, and mixtures of two or more of between them. Other zeolites may be present in minor amounts in the adsorbents of the invention or used in the process of the invention. These zeolites can be considered as pollutants, in particular because they do not contribute to the adsorption of the gases, in other words they are inert with respect to the adsorption of the gases. These zeolites include, by way of nonlimiting examples, sodalite, hydroxysodalite, zeolite P and other zeolites inert with respect to the adsorption of gases. The different types of zeolites present in the zeolite adsorbent material are determined by XRD. The amount of zeolites is also measured by XRD and is expressed in% by weight relative to the total weight of the zeolitic adsorbent material. As a corollary, in the present invention, the term "non-zeolite phase" (or "PNZ") denotes any phase present in the adsorbent material, other than the zeolite (s) defined above, referred to as "zeolite phase" or "PZ". The amount of non-zeolitic phase is expressed by the complement at 100% of the zeolite phase of the adsorbent, that is: c / oPNZ = 100-% PZ, where c / oPNZ is the weight percent of PNZ and% PZ the percentage by weight of zeolite phase, relative to the total weight of the adsorbent. By "adsorbent exchanged at least 90% calcium" is meant that at least 90% of the cationic exchangeable sites of the zeolite phase are occupied by calcium cations. This zeolitic adsorbent material exchanged at least 90% calcium can be obtained and is preferably obtained according to the following protocol: the zeolite adsorbent material to be exchanged with calcium is introduced into a solution of calcium chloride at 0, 5 moles of CaCl 2 per liter, at 70 ° C, for 2 hours, with a liquid to solid ratio of 10 ml / g. The operation is repeated n times, n being at least 1, preferably at least 2, preferably at least 3, more preferably at least 4. [0025] Solids from operations n-1 and n are successively washed four times by immersing in water at a rate of 20 ml / g to remove the excess salt, and then dried for 12 hours at 80 ° C. in air, before The calcium oxide mass percentage of the zeolite adsorbent material, between the n-1 and n exchange operations, is stable to within ± 1%, said zeolite adsorbent material is considered to be "within the range of its form is at least 90% exchanged with calcium ". If necessary, it carries out additional exchanges as described above until a stability of the mass percentage of calcium oxide of ± 1%. In particular, it is possible to proceed with successive batch cation exchanges, with a large excess of calcium chloride, until the calcium oxide mass content of the zeolite adsorbent material, determined by X-ray chemical analysis, be stable at ± 1%. This measurement method is explained later in the description. [0027] The Si / Al atomic ratio of the zeolitic adsorbent material is measured by elemental chemical analysis in X-ray fluorescence, a technique well known to those skilled in the art and explained further in the description. If necessary, the calcium exchange is carried out before analysis according to the detailed procedure above. From the Dubinin-Raduskevich microporous volume measured on the zeolitic adsorbent material exchanged with calcium, it is therefore possible to calculate an overall Dubinin-Raduskevitch volume of zeolite (s) A, weighted with PNZ. By "Vmicro" is meant the microporous volume of the zeolite adsorbent material whose measurement technique is explained below. By "Vmeso" is meant the mesoporous volume of the zeolite adsorbent material whose measurement technique is explained below. According to a preferred embodiment, said at least one zeolitic adsorbent material that can be used in the context of the present invention has a mesoporous volume (Vmeso) of between 0.07 cm3g-1 and 0.18 cm3. 1, preferably between 0.10 cm3g-1 and 0.18 cm3g-1, and more preferably between 0.12 cm3g-1 and 0.18 cm3g-1, more preferably between 0.14 cm3g-1 and 0.18 cm3g-1, limits included, measured on the adsorbent material exchanged at least 90% calcium.

[0034] The volume fraction of the macropores of the zeolitic adsorbent material that can be used in the context of the present invention is preferably between 0.20 and 1.00 of the total volume of the macro- and meso-pores, in a very preferred between 0.40 and 0.80, and even more preferably between 0.45 and 0.65 inclusive, the measurements being made on the zeolite adsorbent material exchanged at least 90% calcium. [0035] The zeolitic adsorbent materials that can be used in the context of the present invention are either known or can be prepared from known procedures, or are new and, as such, form an integral part of the present invention. According to another preferred embodiment, the use according to the invention uses a zeolitic adsorbent material comprising at least one mesoporous type A zeolite. By "mesoporous" is meant a zeolite which, together with the microporosity inherent in the structure of the zeolite, exhibits internal cavities of size / nanoscale (mesoporosity), easily identifiable by observation by means of a transmission electron microscope ( MET or "TEM" in English), as described for example in US7785563. More precisely, said zeolite A of the zeolite adsorbent material is a mesoporous zeolite A, that is to say a zeolite having an external surface, defined by the t-plot method described below, of between 40 m.sup.2. .g-1 and 400 m2.g-1, preferably between 60 m2.g-1 and 200 m2.g-1, limits included.

In particular, the zeolitic adsorbent materials that can be used in the context of the present invention comprise at least one type A zeolite, in which the said at least one type A zeolite has a Si / Al ratio equal to 1.00 +. 1 to 0.05, said Si / Al ratio being measured by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) solid of silicon 29 (295i NMR), according to techniques well known to those skilled in the art. The Si / Al ratio of each of the zeolites present in the adsorbent is also measured by solid NMR.

Characterization Techniques The physical properties of zeolite adsorbent materials are evaluated by methods known to those skilled in the art, the main of which are recalled below.
    [0002] Particle size distribution of zeolite crystals: The estimation of the number average diameter of the zeolite type A crystals contained in the zeolite adsorbent materials, and which are used for the preparation of said zeolitic adsorbent material, is carried out by microscopic observation. scanning electron microscope (SEM). In order to estimate the size of the zeolite crystals on the samples, a set of images is carried out at a magnification of at least 5000. The diameter of at least 200 crystals is then measured using a dedicated software, for example the Smile View software from the LoGraMi editor. The accuracy is of the order of 3%. Granulometry of Zeolite Adsorbents The determination of the average volume diameter (or "volume average diameter") of the zeolite adsorbent material of the process according to the invention is carried out by analysis of the particle size distribution of a sample of adsorbent material by imaging according to ISO 13322-2: 2006, using a treadmill allowing the sample to pass in front of the camera lens. The volume mean diameter is then calculated from the particle size distribution by applying the ISO 9276-2: 2001 standard. In this document, the term "volume mean diameter" or "size" is used for zeolite adsorbent materials. The accuracy is of the order of 0.01 mm for the size range of the adsorbent materials useful in the context of the present invention. Chemical analysis of zeolitic adsorbent materials - Si / Al ratio and exchange rate: [0095] Elemental chemical analysis of a zeolite adsorbent material described above can be carried out according to various analytical techniques known to those skilled in the art. Among these techniques, mention may be made of the X-ray fluorescence chemical analysis technique as described in standard NF EN ISO 12677: 2011 on a wavelength-dispersive spectrometer (VVDXRF), for example Tiger S8 of FIG. Bruker company. X-ray fluorescence is a nondestructive spectral technique exploiting the photoluminescence of atoms in the X-ray domain to establish the elemental composition of a sample. The excitation of the atoms generally by an X-ray beam or by bombardment with electrons, generates specific radiations after return to the ground state of the atom. A measurement uncertainty of less than 0.4% by weight is obtained conventionally after calibration for each oxide. Other analysis methods are, for example, illustrated by the atomic absorption spectrometry (AAS) and inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry (ICP-AES) methods described in NF EN standards. ISO 21587-3 or NF EN ISO 21079-3 on a device such as Perkin Elmer 4300DV. [0098] The X-ray fluorescence spectrum has the advantage of relying very little on the chemical combination of the element, which offers a precise determination, both quantitative and qualitative. After calibration for each oxide SiO 2 and Al 2 O 3 as well as the various oxides (such as those obtained from exchangeable cations, for example calcium), a measurement uncertainty of less than 0.4% by weight is obtained in conventional manner. Thus, the elemental chemical analyzes described above allow the zo times to check the Si / Al ratio of the zeolite used in the zeolite adsorbent material and the Si / Al ratio of the zeolitic adsorbent material. In the description of the present invention, the measurement uncertainty of the Si / Al ratio is ± 5%. Measurement of the Si / Al ratio of the zeolite present in the adsorbent material can also be measured by solid nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) of silicon. The quality of the ion exchange is related to the number of moles of the cation under consideration in the zeolite adsorbent material after exchange. More precisely, the exchange rate by a given cation is estimated by evaluating the ratio between the number of moles of said cation and the number of moles of all the exchangeable cations. The respective amounts of each of the cations are evaluated by chemical analysis of the corresponding cations. For example, the exchange rate by calcium ions is estimated by evaluating the ratio between the total number of Ca 2+ cation and the total number of exchangeable cations (for example Ca 2+, K +, Li, Ba 2+, Cs, Na, etc. ), the amount of each of the cations being evaluated by chemical analysis of the corresponding oxides (Na 2 O, CaO, K 2 O, BaO, Li 2 O, Cs 2 O, etc.). This calculation method also accounts for any oxides present in the residual binder of the zeolitic adsorbent material. However, the quantity of such oxides is considered to be minor compared with the oxides originating from the cations of the exchangeable sites of the zeolite or zeolites of the zeolitic adsorbent material according to the invention. Macroporous and Mesoporous Volume [00101] Macroporous and mesoporous volumes are measured by mercury intrusion porosimetry. A mercury porosimeter type Autopore® 9500 from Micromeritics is used to analyze the distribution of the pore volume contained in macropores and in mesopores. The experimental method, described in the operating manual of the apparatus referring to ASTM D4284-83, consists in placing a sample of zeolite adsorbent material to be measured (known fire loss) previously weighed, in a cell. of the porosimeter, then, after a prior degassing (discharge pressure of 30 pm Hg for at least 10 min), to fill the cell with mercury at a given pressure (0.0036 MPa), and then to apply increasing pressure stepwise up to 400 MPa in order to gradually penetrate the mercury into the porous network of the sample. In this document, the macroporous and mesoporous volumes of the zeolitic adsorbent materials, expressed in cm3.g-1, are thus measured by mercury intrusion and reported to the mass of the sample in anhydrous equivalents, that is, that is, the mass of said material corrected for loss on ignition. The measurements are made on the zeolitic adsorbent material exchanged at least 90% calcium. Mechanical Resistance of Zeolite Adsorbent Materials: [00104] The crush resistance in bed of zeolite adsorbent materials as described in the present invention is characterized according to ASTM 7084-04. The mechanical resistance to crushing grains are determined with a device "Grain Crushing Strength" marketed by Vinci Technologies, according to ASTM D 4179 and D 6175.
    [0003] Microporous Volume Measurement: The measurement of the microporous volume is estimated by conventional methods such as measurements of Dubinin-Raduskevitch volumes (adsorption of 77 K liquid nitrogen or 87 K liquid argon). The Dubinin-Raduskevitch volume is determined from the measurement of the gas adsorption isotherm, such as nitrogen or argon, at its liquefaction temperature, as a function of the pore opening. zeolite: nitrogen will be selected for zeolite A, previously exchanged at least 90% calcium. Prior to the adsorption, the zeolitic adsorbent material is degassed between 300 ° C. and 450 ° C. for a period of between 9 hours and 16 hours, under vacuum (P <6.7 × 10 4 Pa). The measurement of the adsorption isotherms is then carried out on an ASAP 2020 Micromeritics type apparatus, taking at least 35 measuring points at relative pressures of P / PO ratio of between 0.002 and 1. The microporous volume is determined according to Dubinin. and Raduskevich from the obtained isotherm, applying the ISO 15901-3 (2007) standard. The microporous volume evaluated according to the Dubinin and Raduskevitch equation is expressed in cm 3 of liquid adsorbate per gram of zeolitic adsorbent material. The measurement uncertainty is ± 0.003 cm3g-1, the measurements being made on the zeolite adsorbent material exchanged at least 90% calcium. Measurement of the microporous volume volume: The microporous volume volume is calculated from the microporous volume as defined above and by multiplying said microporous volume by the bulk density of said zeolitic adsorbent material. Bulk density is measured as described in DIN 8948 / 7.6. Loss on ignition of zeolite adsorbent materials: The loss on ignition is determined in an oxidizing atmosphere by calcining the sample in air at a temperature of 950 ° C. ± 25 ° C., as described in the NF EN standard. 196-2 (April 2006). The standard deviation of measurement is less than 0.1%. Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis by X-ray Diffraction The purity of the zeolites in the zeolite adsorbent materials is evaluated by X-ray diffraction analysis, known to those skilled in the art under the acronym XRD. This identification is carried out on a DRX device of the brand Bruker. This analysis makes it possible to identify the different zeolites present in the adsorbent material because each of the zeolites has a single diffractogram defined by the positioning of the diffraction peaks and by their relative intensities. The zeolitic adsorbent materials are crushed then spread and smoothed on a sample holder by simple mechanical compression. The diffractogram acquisition conditions realized on the Brucker D5000 device are the following: Cu tube used at 40 kV - 30 mA; - size of the slots (diverging, diffusion and analysis) = 0.6 mm; - 2 1 - - filter: Ni; - rotating sample device: 15 rpm; - measuring range: 3 ° <2e <50 °; - not: 0.02 °; - counting time in steps: 2 seconds. The diffractogram obtained is interpreted using EVA software with identification of zeolites using the ICDD base PDF-2, release 2011. The quantity of zeolite fractions LTA, by weight, is measured. by XRD analysis, this method is also used to measure the amount of zeolite fractions other than LTA. This analysis is carried out on a device of Bruker brand, then the amount by weight of zeolite fractions is evaluated using the software TOPAS Bruker company. Measurement of the external surface (m2 / g) by the so-called t-plot method: The so-called t-plot calculation method exploits the data of the adsorption isotherm Q ads = f (P / PO) and allows to calculate the microporous surface. The outer surface can be deduced by differentiating it with the BET surface which calculates the total porous surface in m2 / g (S BET = Microporous surface + External surface). To calculate the microporous surface by the t-plot method, the curve Q ads (cm3.g-1) is plotted as a function of t = thickness of the layer dependent on the partial pressure P / PO which would be formed on a non-porous reference material (t log function (P / PO): Harkins equation and applied Jura: [13,991 (0,034-log (P / PO)) "0,5] .In the interval t between 0, At 35 nm and 0.5 nm, a line can be drawn which defines an adsorbed Y intercept which allows the microporous surface to be calculated.If the material is not microporous the straight line passes through 0, the measurements being made on the zeolitic adsorbent material at least 90% exchanged with calcium Mesoporous Volume Measurement: The measurement of the mesoporous volume is estimated by conventional methods such as measurements of Barret-Joyner-Halenda volumes (adsorption of liquid nitrogen at 77 K) The mesoporous volume is determined from the measurement of the adsorption isotherm gas ion, such as nitrogen, at its liquefaction temperature, depending on the pore opening of the zeolite: nitrogen will be chosen for zeolite A, previously exchanged at least 90% calcium. Prior to adsorption, the zeolitic adsorbent material is degassed at between 300 ° C. and 450 ° C. for a period of between 9 hours and 16 hours under vacuum (P <6.7 × 10 -4 Pa). The measurement of the adsorption isotherms is then carried out on an ASAP 2020 Micromeritics type apparatus, taking at least 35 measuring points at relative pressures of P / PO ratio of between 0.002 and 1. The mesoporous volume is determined according to Barret -Joyner- Halenda from the isotherm obtained, applying the standard ISO 15901-2 (2007). The mesoporous volume evaluated according to the Barret-Joyner-Halenda equation is expressed in cm 3 of liquid adsorbate per gram of zeolitic adsorbent material, the measurements being made on the zeolitic adsorbent material exchanged at least 90% calcium.
