TL;DR: It is shown that the optimal performance of a finite-size system with purpose is always characterized by the equipartition of driving forces or the optimal allocation of material subject to overall constraints.

TL;DR: In this paper, the activity coefficients are extracted from peak chromatography experiments in binary mixtures of co-adsorbed components, which are defined in the framework of the so-called non-ideal adsorbed solution theory.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors proposed a parallel-pipedal ad-sorbant assembly consisting of a stack of heat-conducting sheets separated by layers of adsorbant.
Abstract: An adsorbant assembly comprises a stack of heat-conducting sheets separated by layers of adsorbant. Also claimed is a parallelpipedal module comprising such a stack, designed for flow of gas to be treated (100) in one direction between the sheets and with thermoelectric elements (11) for heating and cooling the stack in contact with the sheet edges extending in said direction. Also claimed is use of an array of such modules in series or parallel, the temperatures of respective modules being varied by elements (11) in a regular cycle whereby enriched and depleted gas steams are alternately obtained at the outlet of the array.
