The present study depicts the hydrodynamics and the mixing characteristics in a millichannel‐based serpentine fixed‐bed device to attain the particular demands of the miniature adsorption devices' fabrication. Residence time distribution analyses were accomplished to analyze the velocity distribution inside the packed bed geometry. The effects of operating variables on the system hydrodynamics and mixing and their impact on the lead adsorption characteristics were enunciated. New correlations were proposed for the frictional resistance and axial dispersion of the fluid. The parametric effects on the lead ions [Pb(II)] adsorption were studied in the same millichannel geometry packed with the graphene oxide coated glass beads. The kinetics of the adsorptive removal process is assessed by the Thomas model and the Yoon–Nelson model. The regeneration study of the said millichannel‐based fixed‐bed device was also executed.
The present study depicts the hydrodynamics along with the mixing characteristics inside a millichannel-based serpentine fixedbed device to attain the particular demands of the fabrication of the miniature adsorption devices. Residence Time Distribution (RTD) analyses were accomplished to analyze the velocity distribution inside the packed bed geometry. The operating variables effect the hydrodynamics, mixing, and the lead adsorption characteristics, which were pronounced clearly in the present context. Depending on the results obtained in the experiment, the new correlations were proposed. The parametric effects on the lead ions adsorption were studied in the same millichannel geometry packed with the graphene oxide (GO) coated glass beads. Thomas model was utilized to investigate the kinetics of the adsorptive removal process. The regeneration study of the said millichannel-based fixed-bed device was also executed.
