Quantachrome Instruments Investigation Of Industrial Adsorbents By Gas Flow Methods

Industrial adsorbents such as active carbons, zeolites and silica gels are widely used in adsorptive separation processes on a multi-ton scale. A complete understanding of the complex processes taking place in a fixed bed reactor is the key in order to achieve the best separation performance. Measuring breakthrough curves on the lab-scale provides insights into these processes that are only accessible by dynamic methods.
