abstract

a mathematical model is described and applied for adsorption process of ethyl acetate from supercritical co2 stream on activated carbon particles. this model has the ability of illustrating variation of effluent concentration towards different parameters such as flow rate, temperature and pressure. in this research, a vast area of operational conditions is experienced. mass transfer resistance from bulk to solid surface and diffusion resistance inside the porous solid are considered. the bulk supercritical co2 fluid is considered with axial dispersion along the bed. the adsorption mechanism in solid phase has been considered kinetically as a reversible first order adsorption/desorption reaction. results of the breakthrough model are in acceptable agreement with experimental data.

Mathematical Model of Supercritical Co2 Adsorption on Activated Carbon Applied to Adsorption Scale-up

A general mathematical model for supercritical CO2 adsorption on activated carbon have been developed. Adsorption curves obtained with a laboratory plant (adsorber of 10 mL) have been adjusted with this model and the results have been extrapolated to adjust the breakthrough curves obtained with a pilot plant (adsorber of 1L). The proposed model is general and takes into account equilibrium (ads...

Adsorption of Ethyl Acetate onto Modified Clays and Its Regeneration with Supercritical Co2

Modified clays were used to remove ethyl acetate from aqueous solutions. These clays were regenerated using supercritical CO2. Structural changes in the montmorillonite clay after treatment with quaternary amines were studied. The surface properties of the modified clay changed from highly hydrophilic to highly organophilic. The clay was regenerated by percolation of a stream of CO2 through the...

Experimental Investigation and Modeling of CO2 Adsorption Using Modified Activated Carbon

In this research, Activated Carbon (AC) was modified using a sodium hydroxide solution for CO2 adsorption. Adsorption experiments were carried out in a batch reactor at a temperature range of 20-80°C and a pressure range of 2-10 bars to investigate kinetic, isotherm, and thermodynamic of the CO2 adsorption process. Activated carbon was modified with NaOH solution conce...

Mathematical Modeling of Gas Separation Process with Flat Carbon Membrane

Carbon molecular sieve membranes (CMSMs) have been considered as very promising candidates for gas separation, in terms of separation properties as well as thermal and chemical stability. Due to the numerous advantages and wide applications of carbon membranes, their application for gas separation is of special importance. Because of the importance of carbon membranes and a large number of stud...

Statistical physics modeling of equilibrium adsorption of cadmium ions onto activated carbon, chitosan and chitosan/activated carbon composite

The adsorption ability of activated carbon, chitosan, and chitosan/activated carbon composite for cadmium separation from aqueous solution was analyzed via statistical physical modeling. The equilibrium data were analyzed by Langmuir, Hill, double layer model, and the multi-layer model with saturation isotherm models. Results showed that the multi-layer model with saturation could well describe...
