Abstract

The PSA cycle steps and the principles of operation are different in purification and bulk separation. Experimental and theoretical results for bulk separation of two binary and two ternary mixtures, where all components are desired products, are presented. Large temperature excursions during each PSA cycle are observed in bulk separation, and have detrimental effects on the separation results. However, these detrimental effects can be alleviated by heat exchange between beds and by using high heat-capacity inert additives. Three models are developed for the PSA processes: pore diffusion, equilibrium, and linear-driving-force, and compared with experimental data.
