I would like to do the adsorption on fixed bed.
The parameters are: height, diameter of column, mass of material adsorption, diameter of size or particle of material, if the material has the capacity to present interparticle diffusivity of only is on surface. The operation conditions are the volumetric flow of inlet (liquid phase in the bottom of column, gas phase inverse). The initial concentration of pollutant in inlet flow, detector or analysis of concentration of pollutant in the outlet flow. You can take samples to measure the concentration in the top (outlet) of column or to take at different intermediate heights in the column (depend of your design).
The most important for the use of a fixed bed adsorbent is to know the adsorption capacity of the adsorbate to be captured. Because adsorption is a phenomenon that depend on the number of available site.
Ok thanks, it is possible to give me an appropriate methodology to carry out the manipulation and all the apparatus use
Laboratory-level methodology:
1. reactor or adsorber with a diameter of 1cm and a length of 3 cm.
2. know the capacity or estimate the adsorption capacity of the adsorbate.
3. place the volume of adsorbate according to the theoretical time of saturation of the surface.
4. Monitor the concentration of the adsorbate as a function of time.
5. Calaculate the flow of agreement to volumen adsorbent.
