A. Nicolaos et al., Application of the equilibrium theory to ternary moving bed configurations(4+4, 5+4, 8 and 9 zones) II. Langmuir case, J CHROMAT A, 908(1-2), 2001, pp. 87-109
In this article, the overall methodology used to determine the working flow
-rates of a true moving bed (TMB) processing langmuirian isotherms compound
s is explained. Then it is applied to different ternary configurations (4+4
, 5+4, 8 or 9 zones TMB) in order to characterize their performances. Final
ly the results obtained on all the configurations are compared on a given e
xample. This comparison allows the choice of the more suitable configuratio
n to be used for a given set of compounds. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. A
