A generalized complex model has been developed to numerically simulate multicomponent adsorption kinetics of binary and ternary systems. The model takes into account fluid resistance. internal and external diffusion resistances with axial diffusion, and a highly nonlinear equilibrium isotherm. Excellent agreement with previously published experimental data with and without axial diffusion has been obtained. The general computer program developed in this study can be accurately used for any number of components in any complex multicomponent sorption studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
