Abstract

Liquid-phase adsorption technology has been widely applied to address environmental problems related to the removal of pollutants from aqueous streams. Simple and effective methods for determining mass transfer parameters, including intra-particle and fluid-to-solid film resistances, are crucial for designing adsorption processes. The efficient simplified diffusion technique (ES technique), based on a completely mixed batch reactor (CMBR), is proposed in this study to address these needs. In this study, we compare three diffusivity (Ds) determination methods: the rigorous diffusion technique (R technique), the simplified diffusion technique (S technique), and the ES technique. Although the simulation results from the R technique are excellent, it is a very complicated and time-consuming approach that is not convenient for practical use. The S technique provides a much simpler approach, but its results are only valid in cases where the contribution of fluid film resistance is negligible (Biot number > 40). The ES technique proposed in this study can overcome those limitations. The estimation errors of the ES technique are significantly smaller than that of the S technique when compared with the R technique. The proposed ES technique would be very useful for field applications to determine diffusivity for aqueous adsorption systems.
