Chemical and Petroleum Engineering Aims and scope

A new dimensional criterion is proposed for assessing the periodic processes of adsorption and desorption of gases, which represents the sorbate penetration depth into the adsorbent. Specific examples show the possibility of its application in preliminary calculations of pressure swing adsorption units for the adsorption drying of natural gas and for the production of oxygen.
