Abstract

Several previous models used to describe the adsorption of gases and vapors on solids in packed beds have been developed by using the assumption that the controlling mass transfer resistance is due primarily to diffusion in the solid phase. However, the equilibrium relationship is typically described by either a linear or a Langmuir type isotherm equation. A new model has been developed which is based on diffusion through the solid particle but includes the generalized and more flexible isotherm equation proposed by Radke and Prausnitz. The effect of the isotherm parameters on the shape of the breakthrough curves are studied.
