“…diffusion from the bulk fluid to the adsorbent surface (external diff.usion), diffusion within the porous particle (internal diffusion) and unsteadystate adsorption have been derived. The correlation of 1 tracer distribution, exiting the packed bed, with the model has been performed in the· time or Laplace domains (39,80,93,94,114,115,116) or by applying Fourier analysis 08,34,50,51,113). frequency response (23) order moments which grossly over-weight the scattered tail segment of the measured peak.…”
