Abstract

A two-dimensional general rate model of non-isothermal reactive column chromatography is formulated considering homogenous and heterogeneous reaction rates, slow rates of adsorption–desorption kinetics, and enthalpies of adsorption and reaction. The model is expressed by a system of six nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) coupled with algebraic expressions for the adsorption and reaction rates. The nonlinearity of adsorption isotherm and reaction term hinders the derivation of analytical solutions. For that reason, a flux-limiting high-resolution finite volume scheme is suggested to numerically approximate the model equations. The effects of several kinetic and thermodynamic parameters are rigorously analyzed on the reactant conversion and components separation.
