Summarizes and reviews both the major experimental techniques and theories that have been developed and applied in the study of diffusion in microporous solids. Covers the most important works--including those published in eastern bloc countries that have received limited coverage in the west--available on the subject today. Provides a theoretical framework, experimental methods and a comprehensive review of experimental data that illustrates the application of those methods. Additionally, it offers a summary of technological aspects of diffusion limited processes. S.I. Units as well as Torr and the atmosphere as units of pressure are used throughout.

The first up-to-date summary and review for the fundamental principles and industrial practice of adsorption separation processes in more than 30 years. Emphasizes the understanding of adsorption column dynamics and the modeling of adsorption systems, as well as fundamental aspects of kinetics and equilibria.

(Pressure Swing Adsorption is the first book that provides...)
Pressure Swing Adsorption is the first book that provides a coherent and concise summary of the underlying science and technology of pressure swing adsorption (PSA) processes at a level understandable to the practising engineer. PSA has achieved widespread commercial acceptance as the technology of choice for hydrogen purification, air separation and small scale air driers. However, PSA has numerous other actual and potential uses such as the recovery of methane from landfill gas, the production of carbon dioxide and other large scale applications. Since the design and optimization of a PSA process requires a somewhat mathematical model, two chapters of the book provide in-depth information on equilibrium theory and dynamic numerical simulation. However, this mathematical material will also help the general reader develop an understanding of the principles and strenghts and limitations of various approaches. PSA engineers, chemical engineers, environmental chemists, academicians and managers who must make informed decisions about purchasing costly PSA systems will find Pressure Swing Adsorption of particular value.
