Adsorption
Fundamentals of adsorption
Adsorption is the process by which particles, e.g., solvent molecules, become attached to a solid adsorbent. Pressure, temperature and the chemical conditions determine the process of adsorption.
On adsorption isotherms
The mathematical description of the equilibrium of adsorption is referred to as adsorption isotherm. The adsorption isotherm permits a first estimate of whether an adsorbing agent is suitable for a particular process.
Adsorptive exhaust treatment; kinetics and mass transfer zone
The design of a working adsorber must consider more factors than the adsorption isotherm. Information on the time process of the adsorption is also important.
Properties of adsorbents
Different adsorbing substances with widely varying properties are available for treating exhaust.
