| Course description |
The course will cover the basic principles of adsorption and adsorption separation processes including both equilibrium and dynamic modeling and a brief overview of representative industrial processes. The main topics will be:
Forces and energetics of adsorption;
Adsorption equilibrium (including both single and multicomponent systems);
Adsorbent materials (with emphasis on zeolites and activated carbon);
Sorption kinetics and measurement of transport properties;
Adsorption Column Dynamics (including linear, non-linear and multicomponent/non-isothermal systems);
Adsorption Separation processes (choice of regeneration methods, pressure swing, thermal swing and displacement processes.
Membrane Processes (brief introduction)
The relationship between the properties of the adsorbent and the process applications will be emphasized.
