9781041102991: Adsorption: Theoretical Aspects and Environmental Applications

Synopsis

Adsorption: Theoretical Aspects and Environmental Applications offers an in-depth yet accessible exploration of adsorption processes, from fundamental theories to practical applications in environmental management and pollution control. Featuring updated content on equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics, and fixed-bed dynamics, this new edition integrates two decades of experimental research and adds coverage on multielement adsorption systems, common data analysis errors, and nonlinear isotherm modeling to provide crucial insights. Designed for undergraduate and postgraduate students, as well as industry practitioners, this book serves as a vital resource for mastering adsorption techniques, optimizing experimental methodologies, and advancing sustainable solutions for wastewater treatment and environmental challenges.

Key Features:

  • Includes end-of-chapter problems and a solutions manual, helping students to develop skills to model, analyze, and design systems involving adsorption
  • Explores key topics, including adsorption equilibrium, kinetics, thermodynamics, and fixed-bed adsorption, with updated content on multielement systems and mass transfer dynamics
  • Includes numerous case studies that cover a variety of areas, such as water treatment, carbon capture, air emissions control, and environmental remediation, providing a comprehensive understanding
