โœฆ Synopsis

The numerical model, originally developed to simulate the kinetic separation of air in a carbon molecular sieve pressure swing adsorption unit, has been extended and applied to the equilibrium selective separation of air over a zeolite adsorbent in which nitrogen is preferentially adsorbed, Leaving oxygen as the (pure) raffinate product. The model, which assumes binary Langmuir equilibrium with linearized mass transfer rate expressions, is shown to provide a good representation of the performance of a small experimental unit over a range of operating conditions.

A numerical simulation has been developed for a simple two-bed PSA system in which kinetic effects and changes in flow rate due to adsorption are significant. The model is therefore more general than most previous models for the PSA cycle. The model equations are solved by the method of double collo

## Abstract In this study, trends from an adsorption process simulator are compared against experimental results obtained from a Rapid Pressure Swing Adsorption (RPSA) pilot plant for the separation of air over a packed bed of LiLSX pellets. The primary purpose of this study was to examine the impa
