A novel apparatus for countercurrent sorption separation processes using fibrous sorbents
article
This paper discusses a technical feasibility study on continuous countercurrent sorption equipment using mechanically transported fibrous sorbent materials such as fiber beds and open-cell foam. A pilot unit was developed and tested and the apparatus performed adequately. Under the conditions applied, the separation efficiency of the appartus is limited by the mechanical properties and structure of the currently available fibrous sorbent materials.
