Optimization of Rotor-Type Solvent Recovery System for Low Concentration Solvent (Optimization with Gas Concentration, Flow Rate Change and Adsorption Deterioration)

Performance of VOC Abatement by Thermal Swing Honeycomb Rotor Adsorbers

“…As for the thermal swing VOC concentrator, thermal effects for a cyclic adsorption process have been discussed by Ko et al, 8 Gales et al, 9 Sullivan et al, 10 Nastaj et al, 11 and Matsukuma et al 12,13 However, they discussed particle packed beds [8][9][10][11] instead of honeycomb type, a combined temperature-pressure swing 11 or numerical simulation, but not experimental works. [8][9][10][11][12][13] No papers based on experimental data seem available except for a conference paper by Kuma et al 14 and a short paper by Mitsuma et al 15 within the authors' scope. Keller 16 timely outlined the honeycomb rotor adsorber in his review of adsorption technology, but only a few engineering data are published yet, as he said.…”

“…The dehumidifier was applied later to the adsorptive desiccant cooling system, and the heat/mass transfer properties of the dehumidifier itself and the cooling system have been analyzed by Kodama et al, − Okano et al, and Jin et al Recently, Matsukuma et al , analyzed a potential application of the honeycomb rotor adsorber to CO 2 recovery other than dehumidification.
