Abstract
Nearly every chemical manufacturing operation requires the use of separation processes to recover and purify the desired product. In most cases, the efficiency of the separation process has a significant impact on both the quality and the cost of the product [1]. Because of its simplicity and broad application, distillation has become the standard against which alternative separation technologies are compared. Other separation processes, such as crystallization and solvent extraction, that are based on feed-component physiochemical properties are also used in the chemical industry. However, many situations involve the bulk separation of chemically similar components or the removal of components that are present at low concentrations. In these situations the traditional separation techniques based on physiochemical properties have limited usefulness and may even be unworkable. For the latter class of separation problems, adsorption offers a suitable approach.
