Introduction: The unit is fitted with a stainless-steel reactor column in which the adsorbent, activated carbon, is packed. There are six thermocouples (T1 - T6) sited along the length of the column, which enable the adsorption/desorption fronts to be followed (adsorption/desorption of CO2 leads to changes in temperature). A hot water circulation system, also containing a thermocouple (T7), is connected to the jacket of the column to enable accurate temperature control via a PID temperature controller.This way the desired processing temperature is accurately maintained. The system is equipped with all the valves required for flow direction control, flow rate control and pressure relief for safety. Electronic flow meters monitor the flow rate of both the carrier gas, helium, and the absorbate, carbon dioxide. These combined with the column temperature sensors and the IR detector, for measuring CO2 concentration, enable the processes to be followed closely and a wide range of operating variables to be examined.
