Salon K (Marriott Philadelphia Downtown)

Description:
This session will concentrate on adsorptive separation processes. Pressure swing, Temperature swing, Vacuum Swing, Concentration Swing, Electrical Swing or any other new processes or concepts may be presented. Experimental and/or numerical simulation results will be discussed. The processes may be for trace impurity removal, bulk separation and/or producing multiple products from the same stream. Hybrid processes, such as adsorption-distillation, adsorption-membrane or processes where adsorption is used to drive any physical or chemical equilibrium locally may also be presented. Industrial participation is encouraged.
