The paper presents the results of experimental and model studies of the pressure swing adsorption (PSA) process in a column with a zeolite 13X bed with a height of 0.5 m. The gas mixture consisted of CO2 (10–20%), N2, and H2O (RH 50%) in different ratios. As a result of the column tests, concentration, and temperature evolutions were obtained for each of the adsorption and desorption stages, which were used to determine the breakthrough and bed saturation times and other parameters important for the analysis of the column operation. A mathematical model of the PSA process for the separation of CO2 from the gas mixture was developed. The system of second-order partial differential equations was solved using Matlab software. The research focuses on adsorptive CO2 capture and shows the influence of water vapor and operational parameters on the quality of model validation.
Greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide and water vapour can be captured from gas streams ona zeolite 13X adsorbent. Experimental water vapour adsorption isotherms and kinetic curves weremeasured in the temperature range of 293–393 K and pressure up to 2100 Pa. The equilibrium datawere developed with Toth and Sips multi-temperature isotherm models. The results of the processrate studies were described using pseudo-first and pseudo-second order kinetic models. Findings werecompared with our own results of CO2adsorption studies on the same zeolite
