CO2 ADSORPTION ON ACTIVATED CARBONS AND M OLECULAR-SIEVES WITH THERMAL REGENERATION OF SORBENT

Adsorption capacity of CO2 on two types of activated carbons AHD and N and two types of molecular sieves 5A and 13X in a thermal swing adsor ption (TSA) process used for a final purification of synthesis gas bee n measured. The effect of temperature and flow rate of the gas being u sed for regeneration on the adsorption capacity of both tested types o f molecular sieves as wall as the optimal conditions of thermal regene ration process has been determined.
