Interesting applications / Enrichment materials

  • A sequence of 3 articles by Lukchis on designing and sizing packed bed adsorbers. The first of the 3 articles clearly explains breakthrough time, \(\theta_b\), stoichiometric time, \(\theta_s\), and equilibrium time, \(\theta_e\), . The remaining parts talk about the design and sizing of adsorbers.
  • A review article on air separation, including adsorption methods.
