Abstract
Experimental data for the simultaneous adsorption of CO2 and moisture with variations of some process variables, such as inlet adsorbate concentration , particle Reynolds number, and bed diameter to bed length ratio, have been generated to see their effects on the efficiency of adsorption of CO2 and moisture. Presence of moisture strongly affects the CO2 adsorption behaviou r leading to roll up of CO2 concentration breakthrough curves, whereas the presence of CO2 has an insignificant effect on the moisture adsorption beha viour.
