Abstract
The knowledge gap on adsorption of complex mixtures in the literature relative to single component data represents a persistent obstacle to developing accurate process models for adsorption separations. The collection of mixed gas adsorption data is an imminent need for improved understanding of the behavior of adsorbent systems in these diverse adsorption applications. Current approaches to understanding mixture adsorption using predictive theories based on pure component adsorption experiments often fail to capture the behavior of more complex, non-ideal systems. In this work, we present an automated volumetric instrument for the measurement of mixed gas adsorption isotherms. This instrument was validated by comparison to other in-house instruments and data available in the literature, and the binary adsorption measurements were found to be thermodynamically consistent. The automation of this instrument allows for rapid collection of high-quality mixture adsorption data.
