โฆ Synopsis
Generalized saturation (adsorption) and regeneration (desorption) breakthrough curves are presented for molecular sieve adsorption columns operated isothermally under conditions of macropore diffusion control. The validity of the theory is confirmed by comparisonOof the theoretical and experimental breakthrough curves for sorption of C,H, and l-C4H8 in Davison 5A molecular sieve. For these systems kinetic and equilibrium data are available from gravimetrie measurements and the theory is shown to provide a satisfactory a priori prediction of column performance.

simple theoretical model is used to calculate dimensionless breakthrough curves and the corresponding temperature profiles for a non-isothermal adsorption column, operating under constant pattern conditions. The model involves three parameters (1, which measures the relative rates of heat and mass t
Theoretical breakthrough curves for saturation and regeneration of a molecular sieve adsorption column are calculated from the solution of the appropriate diffusion equation for the case of micropore diffusion control. It is shown that with increasing non-linearity of the isotherm desorption becomes
