Important Design Factors: Fixed Bed Adsorption

Fixed bed adsorption can be used to remove large quantities of compounds from effluents using a circulating fluidized bed adsorber. Key design factors for fixed bed adsorption systems include particle diameter, column diameter, flow rate, height of the adsorption column, and pressure drop. The system consists of a riser, separator, and settler to recirculate both the adsorbent and adsorbate. Kinetic models like the Bohart-Adams and Thomas models can be applied to determine parameters like uptake capacity and adsorption rates.

Fixed bed adsorption

INTRODUCTION

IMPORTANT DESIGN FACTORS


Removal of compound from effluents in large quantities can be done by adsorption in Circulating Fluidized bed adsorber.

Particle diameter Column diameter Flow rate Height of adsorption column Pressure drop Time of exhaustion

Recirculation of both adsorbent and adsorbate. The adsorber consists of riser, separator and settler.

FIXED BED ADSORPTION SYSTEM

BOHART-ADAM MODEL

kAB is the kinetic constant (l/mg min), F is the linear flow rate (ml/min), Z is the bed depth of column (cm), N0 is the saturation concentration (mg/l) and t is time (min). From a linear plot of ln (Ct/Co) against time (t), values of KAB and N0 were determined from the intercept and slope of the plot

BREAKPOINT AND BREAKTHROUGH CURVE

THOMAS MODEL

qo - the equilibrium Cu (II) uptake per g of the RHAC adsorbent (mg/g). The values of KTH and qo were determined from a plot of Ct/Co against t using linear regression analysis
