          (d) countercurrently purging the first reactor at                           
               the second pressure with the less adsorbable                           
               product to desorb the weakly adsorbing purge                           
               fluid and withdrawing a mixture comprising                             
               the weakly adsorbing fluid, a portion of the                           
               more adsorbable product and a portion of the                           
               less adsorbable product; and                                           
          (e) countercurrently pressurizing the first                                 
               reactor from the second pressure to the first                          
               pressure with the less adsorbable product                              
               prior to commencing another process cycle                              
               within the first reactor.
