Simulation Study of Pressure Swing Adsorption to Purify Helium Using Zeolite 13X

Molecular simulation study of the competitive adsorption of H2O and CO2 in zeolite 13X.

The presence of H2O in postcombustion gas streams is an important technical issue for deploying CO2-selective adsorbents. Because of its permanent dipole, H2O can interact strongly with materials where the selectivity for CO2 is a consequence of its quadrupole interacting with charges in the material. We performed molecular simulations to model the adsorption of pure H2O and CO2 as well as H2O/...

Adsorption characteristics of ammonium ion by zeolite 13X.

With synthetic wastewater, lab-scale batch experiments and column experiments were carried out to investigate the adsorption characteristics of ammonium ion by zeolite 13X which is a hydrothermally synthetic byproduct accompanied with preparation of potassium carbonate from insoluble potash ores. The Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied to describe the equilibrium isotherms for ammonium ...

Dynamic Modeling of Nitrogen Adsorption on Zeolite 13X Bed

Oxygen is one of the most important products in chemical industries. This chemical element is used in various processes such as: refinery industries, manufacturing metal and other industrial operations. For instance, oxygen with high purity is utilized in different chemical processes like: steel construction, paper industries, wastewater treatment and glass production. In 1907, oxygen was produ...

Extraction of Xenon Using Enriching Reflux Pressure Swing Adsorption

Measuring radioactive xenon isotopes in the atmosphere is an important technique used for monitoring within the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT). Several process steps are needed to capture and prepare a xenon sample suitable for transfer to a nuclear detector. These processes include air drying, xenon collection, concentration, and purification. The ideal xenon sampling system woul...
