SEPARATION AND RECOVERY OF GASEOUS SUBSTANCES BY ADSORPTION

After making a number of fundamental remarks on adsorbents, equilibrium, and kinetics of adsorption from the gas phase, the authors of this article first present a variety of regeneration methods. There follows a brief account of the methods used in the design of fixed bed adsorbers. The reader is then led via considerations of safety in the construction and operation of adsorbers to a number of practical examples from the areas of solvent recovery and flue gas purification.
