Abstract

A general method for the investigation of adsorption kinetics of nonlinear,nonisothermal systems, based on frequency response analysis, ispresented. It is based on the definition of higher-order frequency response functions (FRFs) on the adsorber and on the particle level. FRFs on the adsorber level can be estimated from experimentally measuredadsorber FR and used to calculate FRFs on the particle level,which can be further used for model identification, by comparison withtheoretical particle FRFs. The general procedure for calculation of particle FRFs from those of adsorber is given. Also, the generalprocedure for theoretical derivation of particle FRFs is given andillustrated with an example of nonisothermal adsorption governed bymicropore diffusion and film resistance heat transfer, as well as theprocedure for calculating unmeasured adsorber FRFs, which isillustrated with an example of a batch adsorber with volume modulation.
