β¦ Synopsis
The technique based upon the constant pattern model was extended to evaluate mass transfer coefficients for multicomponent (binary) adsorption by carbons. The mass transfer coefficient of the lesser adsorbed component was essentially the same for both single component and binary systems. The mass transfer coefficient of the more strongly adsorbed component was significantly lower in the binary case, indicating interference between components. The mass transfer coefficients obtained were used in a computer simulation of fixed bed adsorption columns, and experimental data were successfully predicted.

A simple lumped model is presented based on the assumption that a linear driving force approximation is valid in describing the surface diffusion within adsorbent particles. The Freundlich-type multicomponent isotherm and the ideal adsorbed solution (IAS) theory were incorporated with the model to d
## Abstract The problem of multicomponent liquid phase adsorption in fixed beds was studied further. In contrast to the earlier work (Hsieh et al., 1977), the method developed in this work is more efficient and also has a greater scope of applicability as it incorporates the use of the IAS (Ideal A
