Pore and solid diffusion models for fixed-bed adsorbers

TL;DR: In this article, the prosity factor of the pore model is shown to be very important, especially as the porosity decreases, and the importance of the two diffusional models with respect to the predicted breakthrough curves is demonstrated.
