Effect of adsorbate’s polarity, steric hindrance, aromaticity, and boiling point on competitive adsorption in a multi-staged countercurrent fluidized bed reactor using activated carbon and zeolite
DownloadFall 2022
Understanding the multi-component adsorption of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) is of essential importance for real-world engineering applications. Various properties of VOCs can affect their competitive adsorption when there is a mixture of these compounds in the process stream. This thesis...

Modeling the Performance and Hydrodynamic Behavior of a Countercurrent Multistage Fluidized Bed Adsorber
DownloadSpring 2021
Fluidized bed (FB) adsorbers provide excellent gas-solid contact at low pressure drops which allows for effective handling of large flow rates. However, the design, operation, and modeling of FB adsorbers could be challenging due to the complex processes involved. The goal of this research is to...
