The performance of an adsorption-based separation process is dictated by the choices of the adsorbent and the process configuration. In typical studies, either several materials are screened for a specific process configuration to find the best candidate, or the performance of several process configurations is evaluated for a specific material. However, it has long been suggested that to truly maximize the potential of a given material, it should be “married” to processes. Here, we have developed a modeling framework for a hybrid adsorption cycle composed of several process configurations and a unified optimization approach to select the optimal material-process combination. We have shown through several case studies that (1) one needs to employ an integrated optimization approach to maximize the potential of any material when screening for a given application; (2) one should not generalize the observations regarding the best process configuration from one material to every other material.
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.
