This study investigates the adsorption kinetics of a silica gel bead using the volumetric method and proposes a comprehensive diffusion model. The rate-limiting step in the diffusion and adsorption process changes with increasing sample mass. The model successfully determines the effective mesopore diffusivity considering the effect of interparticle diffusion.
The adsorption kinetics of solid desiccants is critical for the design and optimal operation of air-conditioning systems. However, owing to the complex combination of diffusion processes in the inter-particle layer and intraparticle mesopores/micropores, adequately illustrating the adsorption kinetics of solid desiccants is difficult. In this study, the adsorption kinetics of a microsphere silica gel bead was in-vestigated using the volumetric method in a limited batch adsorption system. An analytical solution was adopted for the biporous diffusion model to obtain the effective mesopore diffusivity. A comprehensive diffusion model was developed based on the initial estimation by the analytical solution. The model, i.e., the triple diffusion resistance model that includes three transport resistances, viz., interparticle, meso-pore, and micropore resistance was subsequently validated through an experiment. The results show that the rate-limiting step in the entire diffusion and adsorption process changes from intraparticle to inter-particle diffusion with increasing sample mass. The proposed model considering the effect of interparticle diffusion successfully determines the effective mesopore diffusivity for each sample mass.(c) 2022 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
