Abstract: Process for treating a gas mixture by pressure swing adsorption wherein for each adsorber (1), the duration (T.sub.R) of the countercurrent recompression step is much less than that (T.sub.D) of the cocurrent decompression step. The process is particularly useful in the production of oxygen from atmospheric air.
