Description

'Adsorption Calculations and Modelling' provides readers with practical, useful information about how to make adsorption calculations and formulate models describing adsorption processes. Unlike most books on this subject, this book treats both gas phase adsorption and liquid phase adsorption with equal emphasis, and supplies a rigorous treatment of multi-component adsorption. It also covers adsorption applications in environmental applications including the use of impregnated adsorbents for protection against toxic gases and carbon adsorption in water and wastewater treatment.

Key features

Explores the most up-to-date information on multicomponent adsorption
Details adsorption applications in environmental application
Explains the fundamentals of adsorption calculation in a simple, straightforward manner.

Table of contents
