Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A model based on kinetic principles is developed for the adsorption of mixtures of gases in any number of layers by solid adsorbents. These models are hereafter referred to as the kinetic models. Equation of state which are thermodynamically consistent with the kinetic models are also presented. A new method is presented for the determination of adsorption equilibria for pure components and mixtures both at high and low pressures. Isotherms are presented for carbon dioxide, methane, ethane, propane, i-butane, n-butane, i-pentane and n-pentane on activated carbon (Columbia grade NXC 8/10), and silica gel (Mobil Sorbead H) at 75°F, 125°F, 200°F, and 300°F and at pressures ranging from below atmospheric up to 1000 psi. Also, adsorption equilibrium data are presented for several multicomponent mixtures of light hydrocarbon gases. The data collected for the pure components were curve fitted to the kinetic model. On the basis of the parameters so obtained, the adsorption equilibria of the mixtures were predicted with good accuracy by the use of the kinetic model for mixtures.
