Summary

THE EFFECT OF THERMAL GRADIENTS ON THE DYNAMIC RESPONSE OF AN ADSORPTION COLUMN HAS BEEN INVESTIGATED EXPERIMENTALLY BY MEASURING ADSORPTION AND DESORPTION BREAKTHROUGH CURVES AND CORRESPONDING TEMPERATURE PROFILES IN A SERIES OF ADSORPTION COLUMNS WITH INTERNAL DIAMETERS RANGING FROM 7.7 TO 7. 9 MM. THE DEPARTURE FROM ISOTHERMAL CONDITIONS BECOMES MORE PRONOUNCED AS THE COLUMN DIAMETER IS INCREASED. DESORPTION IS ALMOST ISOTHERMAL, AND AS A RESULT, THE RESPONSE IS PRACTICALLY INDEPENDENT OF THE COLUMN DIAMETER. THE MAJOR RESISTANCE TO HEAT TRANSFER IS AT THE COLUMN WALL, AND A SIMPLE ONE-DIMENSIONAL MODEL WITH ALL HEAT-TRANSFER RESISTANCE CONCENTRATED AT THE COLUMN WALL PROVIDES A GOOD REPRESENTATION OF THE EXPERIMENTALLY OBSERVED BEHAVIOUR.
