Three operations are commonly found in most processes involving adsorption: contact,
separation, and regeneration. Initially, the adsorbent comes into contact with the fluid
where the separation by adsorption results. Second, fluid that is not adsorbed is sepa-
rated from the adsorbent. With a gas stream, this operation is completed as the gas
stream passes through the adsorbent bed. Third, the adsorbent is regenerated, removing
the adsorbate from the adsorbent.
1.2. Adsorbents
Commonly used adsorbents for selectively adsorbing certain gaseous constituents
from gas streams include activated carbon, silica gel, alumina, and bauxite. The con-
taminated gaseous constituents should be adequately removed from airstreams for air
pollution control (13–18). Commercially available adsorbents possessing adsorptive
properties exist in great variety. Some of these adsorbents with their industrial uses are
as follows:
• Activated carbon: solvent recovery, elimination of odors, purification of gases
• Alumina: drying of gases, air, and liquids
• Bauxite: treatment of petroleum fractions; drying of gases and liquids
• Bone char: decolorizing of sugar solutions
• Decolorizing adsorbents: decolorizing of oils, fats, and waxes; deodorizing of domestic water
• Fuller’s earth: refining of lube oils and vegetable and animals oils, fats, and waxes
• Magnesia: treatment of gasoline and solvents; removal of metallic impurities from caustic
solutions
• Silica gel: drying and purification of gases
• Strontium sulfate: removal of iron from caustic solutions
