CONTENT SUMMARY
INTRODUCTION
Gas separation has been an important approach to ensure that products with high gas purity can be achieved. Conventional technologies, such as cryogenic distillation and amine scrubbing are limited by their high energy penalty and high corrosiveness towards the vessel. Hence, exploration of the gas adsorption process through the utilization of solid adsorbents has been performed. Nevertheless, due to the nature of its operation (i.e., dynamic), the applicability to simulate the process through commercial simulation software has been lacking. This short course aims to introduce the concept of adsorption and apply the knowledge of adsorption using Aspen Adsorption as the simulation software to model gas adsorption under dynamic conditions.
