The Confinement Effect on a Supercritical Fluid Mixture Enclosed in a Micro-cavity

On the modeling and simulation of coupled adsorption and thermosolutal convection in supercritical carbon dioxide

“…Although the widest application of scCO 2 is in extraction, the adsorption process using scCO 2 exhibits currently more attention and presents a number of potential applications. In fact, several studies investigated the various supercritical adsorption singularities of many systems [12][13][14][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35], thus allowing a selective transfer of species from fluid phase to a solid adsorbent. Moreover, Jha and Madras [31] showed that the heat of adsorption does not depend on the solute considered.…”

“…In order to devise an adsorption plant, reliable mass transfer models are still necessary. Notwithstanding, exiguous tryouts have been implemented in order to model the complete supercritical adsorption process, including hydrodynamics [31][32][33][34][35]. That is the reason why this paper aims to investigate adsorption and mass transfer in a binary mixture nearby the solvent's critical point in a configuration relevant for soil remediation.…”
