A New Approach for Modeling of Industrial Adsorption Column

Аннотация

A theoretical analysis of the effect of velocity radial nonuniformity on nonstationary gas-solid adsorption processes in the column apparatuses is presented. The average concentration model, where the radial velocity component in the gas phase is equal to zero (in cases of a constant velocity radial nonuniformity along the column height), is used in the cases of an axial modification of the radial nonuniformity of the axial velocity components in the gas phase. The use of experimental data, for average concentrations in the gas phase at the column end, for a concrete process (physical or chemical adsorption), permits obtaining the gas phase model parameters related with the radial nonuniformity of the velocity. These parameter values allow using the average concentration model for modeling different adsorption processes.
