Abstract: | The purpose of this paper is to provide a helpful tool for the design of adsorption equipment, recognizing in particular the recent, more stringent regulations on air pollution. This work is based on an earlier paper by Hougen and Marshall,1 who developed therein an analytical adsorption model. Under certain assumptions, especially that of linear adsorption equilibrium, it is possible to express the results in the form of convenient usable charts. Although more sophisticated models2 have recently been developed, the numerical effort involved in solving the associated partial differential equations is such that practical application is often questionable. |
