TLDR
In this article, a theoretical and experimental study is performed for the bulk separation of a ternary mixture by pressure swing adsorption, and three concentrated products can be obtained by cycling the pressure in the adsorber.Abstract:
A theoretical and experimental study is performed for the bulk separation of a ternary mixture by pressure swing adsorption. Three concentrated products can be obtained by cycling the pressure in the adsorber. Three models are formulated for the cyclic process: equilibrium, Knudsen diffusion, and Knudsen plus surface diffusion. The latter model provides the best results when compared with the experimental data, due to the important contribution of surface flux to the total flux in the sorbent pores.read more

Adsorbent Materials for Carbon Dioxide Capture from Large Anthropogenic Point Sources
TL;DR: The CO(2) adsorption behavior of several different classes of solid carbon dioxide adsorbents, including zeolites, activated carbons, calcium oxides, hydrotalcites, organic-inorganic hybrids, and metal-organic frameworks are described.

The Maxwell-Stefan approach to mass transfer
Rajamani Krishna,J.A. Wesselingh +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the limitations of the Fick's law for describing diffusion are discussed and it is argued that the Maxwell-Stefan formulation provides the most general and convenient approach for describing mass transport which takes proper account of thermodynamic non-idealities and influence of external force fields.

Reducing the Cost of CO2 Capture from Flue Gases Using Pressure Swing Adsorption
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the economic feasibility of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) for recovering CO2 from postcombustion power plant flue gas and showed that using vacuum desorption reduces the capture cost from US$57 to US$51 per ton of CO2 avoided.

Rached Ben-Mansour,Mohamed A. Habib,O. E. Bamidele,M. Basha,Naef A.A. Qasem,Abdul Malik Puthan Peedikakkal,Tahar Laoui,Mariam Ali +7 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the separation of carbon dioxide from typical power plant exhaust gases using the adsorption process, which is believed to be one of the economic and least interfering ways for post-combustion carbon capture as it can accomplish the objective with very few modifications to power plants.
