Abstract

A new intraparticle mass transfer rate model for cyclic adsorption and desorption in a slab, cylinder or sphere is proposed on the basis of the asymptotic behaviors of the adsorption rate for short and long cycle periods. Through comparison with the exact solution and the linear driving force (LDF) model, the new model is shown to provide a very good approximation for the instantaneous amount adsorbed as well as the adsorption rate for dimensionless half-cycle period τc=0.001∼1 and is much better than the LDF model.
