ANALYSIS EXAMPLES
• Determination of breakthrough curves for adsorbents
• Dynamic single- and multi-component gas adsorption and desorption for adsorbents from 1 to 30 bar and from room temperature to 450 °C
• Investigation of kinetic performance of adsorbents
• Determination of heat of adsorption
• Temperature programmed desorption up to 450 °C

PARAMETRIC USE CASES
• Investigation of pure and selective gas adsorption characteristics for adsorbents and solid porous materials by evaluating the effects of preparation, pre-treatment and temperature.
• Investigation of adsorption kinetics and optimizing adsorption and desorption times for PSA, TSA and VSA units.
• Investigation of heat of adsorption via adsorption experiments at different temperatures
