Various Intensification methods for Adsorption-a review on studies and investigations

Adsorption is used for removal of pollutants and waste gases from liquid and gases effluent. Use of waste material for adsorption preparation makes this method more attractive. Regeneration of this adsorbent is very important aspect of the application of adsorption for various applications. Intensification of the adsorption bed includes reducing cycle time for pressure swing (PSA) and temperature swing (TSA) adsorption increasing thermal conductivity of the bed, optimizing various operating parameters. Regeneration of bed is an important aspect in adsorption desorption cycle as the low thermal conductivity of adsorbent is responsible for extended cycle time. To increase the conductivity, conducting materials in the form of composite fins can be uses. This review aims to study of different intensification technique for adsorption desorption process.
