Abstract
Abstract The effects of the gas-solid mass and heat transfer coefficients on the dynamics of adiabatic adsorption of a single adsorbate exhibiting Type I behavior were analyzed by numerically solving the conservation equations for a column. It was assumed that the adsorbate obeyed Langmuir equilibra and the local mass transfer rate could be described by the linear driving force model. The properties of the front zones were found to be controlled by mass transfer, while those of the rear zones were primarily determined by heat transfer. The separation between the two zones might vanish under certain conditions resulting in overlap of the two zones. The front zones were found to be constant pattern. The rear zones can be constant or proportionate pattern depending on the equilibrium properties and the feed condition of the adsorbate.
