Description

This Gas Adsorption Unit is designed to
demonstrate the working principles of gas
phase adsorption.
This unit consists of:
• Evaporator
• Adsorption columns
• Adsorbent – molecular sieve
• Heating sleeves with insulation
• Drying columns
• Thermostat
• Vacuum pump
Experimental capabilities:
• Adsorption process for removal of hydrocarbon
(n-hexane or cyclo-hexane) from carrier gas
stream
• Adsorption process for removal of n-hexane from
hydrocarbon mixture
• Plot of breakthrough curves
• Effect of carrier gas flow rate on the separation
process
• Column regeneration
