摘要: New and efficient numerical algorithms were developed for simulating column dynamics of multicomponent liquid phase adsorption. Simple and realistic models are used for the simulation. Langmuir form of isotherm and linear driving force rate expressions are employed in the model equations. Algorithms were formulated for three different rate control mechanisms, namely, film diffusion control, particle diffusion control and combined film and particle diffusion control. The algorithms derived are explicit with the exception of the requirement of solving a nonlinear equation in one single variable which is the concentration of a reference species. Thus the tedious iterative calculation procedure for solving simultaneous nonlinear equations in a multicomponent fixed bed system is avoided. Example calculations indicated very good numerical accuracy as verified from an independent check by means of an overall mass balance.
