2012 Annual Meeting

October 28 - November 2, 2012

This session will concentrate on adsorptive separation processes. While preference will be given toward pressure (and/or vacuum) swing and temperature swing adsorption, other adsorption based separation processes such as concentration swing, electrical swing may also be presented. Experimental and/or numerical simulation results will be discussed. The processes may be for trace impurity removal, bulk separation and/or producing multiple products from the same stream. Hybrid processes, such as adsorption-distillation, adsorption-membrane may also be presented. Special encouragement will be given to hybrid systems where adsorption swing processes are used to drive equilibrium such as sorptive-distillation or sorptive-reaction. Industrial participation is encouraged.
