Preliminary Program subject to change
02E04 PSA/TSA
OverviewThis session will focus on the development and use of pressure or temperature swing adsorption processes for gas or liquid separations. Papers describing new industrial processes / cycles / applications are strongly desired. The investigations can be theoretical (e.g., simulations), experimental, or (most preferably) a combination of the two.
