Abstract
The study involves the simulation of a fixed-bed adsorption column with COMSOL Multiphysics software. The bed of the Adsorption column was filled with only activated carbon to absorb the ferrous Iron. The equilibrium and dynamic model equations of the Langmuir adsorption isotherm and fixed-bed adsorption column were used and inputted into the COMSOL Multiphysics software. Line graphs and 2D surface plots were generated from the software after the simulation. Simulated result showed that increase in the weight of the bed could increase the bed performance and indicated that about 28 days’ operative performance of the bed could be achieved for a bed weight of 1500kg and particle size of 0.001m.
