Transient adsorption/desorption characteristics of spherical particles of silica gel (about 3mm in diameter) in a fluidized bed have been studied experimentally. To control the humidity of inlet air, a humidifier is designed and fitted in a proper location in the system. The system is well...

Among all the CCS strategies, post-combustion capture provides a near-term solution for stationary fossil fuel-fired power plants, eliminating the need for substantial modifications to existing combustion processes and facilities. In this respect, adsorption using solid sorbents has the...
