Abstract

A detailed model of an adsorption process using an LDF (Linear Driving Force) approach is employed to simulate a case system. Since in most literature studies dealing with the optimum operation of adsorption systems linear isotherms were assumed, this study employs a highly skewed isotherm. This type of isotherm is commonly observed for the adsorption on microporous solids. The desorption step which is the energy-intensive part of an adsorption process is optimized. The results lead to the recommendations to operate the desorption step of a temperature swing adsorption unit at high regeneration temperatures and at low purge gas velocities.
