Adsorptive and Membrane-Type Separations: A Bibliographical Update (1995)

Abstract

This paper provides a bibliography of the 1995 journal literature for adsorptive and membrane-type separations. The references are taken from the 50 most important chemical engineering journals. This paper provides an update to the literature as provided in previous bibliographic papers (Ray 1990a, 1991, 1994, 1995, 1996). A bibliography of the chemical engineering journal literature from 1967–1988 has been published by the author (Ray 1990b), and can provide access to a wider range of topics. A complete bibliographic listing of the chemical engineering journal literature from 1989 to 1995 (with subsequent six-monthly updates) is available on a CD-ROM database and full details can be obtained from the author. The papers included have been divided into the following subject groups: theory; design data; adsorbents; PSA and cyclic systems, and applications; liquid-phase adsorption; ion exchange, chromatography, etc.; membranes; and membrane-type separations.

A Practical Method for the Dynamic Determination of the Product Oxygen Concentration in Pressure-Swing Adsorption Systems

“…1,2 Hence, understanding this process for the manufacture of this important chemical commodity has gained increased academic interest over the past 20 years. 3 Unlike many common chemical engineering unit operations, PSA and VSA processes operate batchwise under non-steadystate, nonequilibrium conditions. The level of complexity is increased in the air enrichment system in which bulk gas separation occurs, causing nonuniformity of the axial velocity and thermal gradients in the adsorber column.…”
