Review of the Pressure Swing Adsorption Process for the Production of Biofuels and Medical Oxygen: Separation and Purification Technology

The production of biofuels has had a great impact on climate change and the reduction use fossil fuels. There are different technologies used for separation biofuels, which allow having compounds such as ethanol, methane, oxygen, hydrogen, one these promising is Pressure Swing Adsorption process (PSA). objectives this article focus purification that achieve purities 99.5% bioethanol, 94.85% biohydrogen, 95.00% medical 99.99% biomethane through PSA process; also, significant review contemplated to identify natural synthetic adsorbents have greater adsorption capacity, configurations in operates studied identified, mathematical models describe dynamic behavior all variables established interact process, parametric studies carried out order greatest effect purity obtained. results obtained facilitating calculation parameters, optimization automatic control manipulate certain rejection disturbances recovery with high degree purity.
