New trends in modelling of breakthrough curves to remove pollutants using adsorption on advanced monoliths geometries
This work proposes a rigorous mathematical model capable of reproducing the adsorption process in dynamic regime on advanced monoliths geometries. For this, four bed geometries with axisymmetric distribution of channels and similar solid mass were proposed. In each geometry a different distribution of channels was suggested, maintaining constant the bed dimensions of 15 cm high and 5 cm radius. The mathematical modeling includes mass and momentum transfer phenomena, and it was solved with the COMSOL Multiphysics software using mass transfer parameters published in the literature. The overall performance of the column was evaluated in terms of breakthrough (CA/CA0 = 0.1) and saturation times (CA/CA0 = 0.9). The mass and velocity distributions obtained from the proposed model show good physical consistency with what is expected in real systems. In addition, the model proved to be easy to solve given the short convergence times required (2–4 h). Modifications were made to the bed geometry to achieve a better use of the adsorbent material which reached up to 80%25. The proposed bed geometries allow obtaining different mixing distributions, in such a way that inside the bed a thinning of the boundary layer is caused, thus reducing diffusive effects at the adsorbent solid-fluid interface, given dissipation rates of about 323 × 10−11 m2/s3. The bed geometry composed of intersecting rings deployed the best performance in terms of usage of the material adsorbent, and acceptable hydrodynamical behavior inside the channels (maximum fluid velocity = 35.4 × 10−5 m/s and drop pressure = 0.19 Pa). Based on these results, it was found that it is possible to reduce diffusional effects and delimit the mass transfer zone inside the monoliths, thus increasing the efficiency of adsorbent fixed beds.
