Item type:Publication, Modeling of Non-Isothermal Adsorption Process in a Silica Gel Desiccant Packed Bed(2018-01-01) ;Murathatunyaluk, Siripan ;Srichanvichit, Koranut; Kitchaiya, PrakobThis study investigated a numerical simulation of a column packed bed using silica gel. This bed is either stationary or steadily rotating, leading to different operation-regeneration schemes. Although models of these systems have already been developed and fitted with available data, they require large number of costly and time-consuming experiment to be applicable. Therefore, the development of a fundamental predictive mathematical model is necessary. The present model is a one-dimensional numerical solution of the conservation equations for heat, water vapor, and adsorbed water inside the silica gel desiccant under the constraint of local equilibrium between the two phases, which is characterized by fundamental sorption isotherms. The system of a non-isothermal adiabatic under constant pressure containing heat and mass transfer phenomena between vapor and solid phases are considered. The numerical results show good agreement with a maximum root of mean square of errors of 6.6% and 9.6% for exit air temperature and humidity, respectively - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, Adsorption of free fatty acid from crude palm oil on magnesium silicate derived from rice husk(2011-08-01) ;Clowutimon, Weerawat ;Kitchaiya, PrakobMagnesium silicate with various silica and magnesium oxide ratios (SiO<inf>2</inf>/MgO ratios) was used as the adsorbent for a study of adsorption of free fatty acid (FFA) in crude palm oil (CPO). Magnesium silicate was prepared from magnesium nitrate or magnesium sulfate solution precipitated with a solution of sodium silicate derived from rice husk. SiO<inf>2</inf>/MgO ratios of the magnesium silicate synthesized from magnesium nitrate and magnesium sulfate were 3.93, 3.75, 2.74, 2.40, 1.99 and 3.96, 3.61, 3.51, 2.91, 2.69, respectively. FFA adsorption on the magnesium silicate was carried out by adding 1 gram of the adsorbent to 50 grams of CPO and shaking for 1 hour at 50°C. It was found that SiO<inf>2</inf>/MgO prepared from magnesium nitrate ratio of 1.99 had the highest adsorption capacities of 185 mg of FFA per gram of adsorbent. In addition, increasing of SiO<inf>2</inf>/MgO ratios of magnesium silicate was found to reduce the adsorption capacities due to decreasing of FFA chemisorption. The effect of dosage amount to equilibrium adsorption capacities were carried out by adding different amount of magnesium silicate (SiO<inf>2</inf>/MgO ratio of 1.99) to 50 grams of CPO. The result showed that efficiency decreased when dosage increased. The Fruendlich and Langmuir isotherm were applied to describe this absorption system. The values of maximum sorption capacity (Q<sup>0</sup>) and Langmuir's sorption affinity (b) in the Langmuir equation obtained by linear-regression were minus values which were physically meaningless. Thus, FFA adsorption on magnesium silicate was both physisorption and chemisorption and well represented by the Fruenlich isotherm.
