Moving-Bed Designs
• Moving-bed systems can use a carbon bed more effectively
than a fixed-bed system because the solvent-laden air stream
passes only through the unsaturated portion of the carbon
bed, reducing the distance the air stream travels through the
bed; therefore, the static pressure drop is low.
• One type of moving-bed adsorber is the rotary wheel zeolite
(沸石轉輪)adsorber. The zeolite adsorbent is mounted in a
vertically oriented wheel that rotates at a rate of
approximately five revolutions per hour. Three quarters of the
wheel are in adsorption service while one quarter is being
desorbed using hot air. The desorbed gas stream has a VOC
content that is concentrated by approximately a factor of 10
to 15 over the inlet level and a flow rate that is less than 10%
of the inlet gas stream. Overall VOC adsorption efficiencies
are in the range of 90% to 98%.

Fluidized-Bed Adsorbers
• A fluidized bed system uses the motion of the solvent laden
gas stream to entrain adsorbent material and thereby
facilitate good gas-solid contact. The VOC-laden gas stream is
introduced at the bottom of the adsorber vessel and passes
upward through the fluidized adsorbent with the purified gas
exiting at the top. The adsorbent plus VOC is pneumatically
conveyed to the desorption vessel for regeneration.
Regeneration gas plus VOC exit from the top and are ready for
further treatment. The regenerated adsorbent is then
pneumatically conveyed back to the adsorption vessel.
Because the adsorption and desorption processes are
physically separate, organic contaminants can be
concentrated by a factor of 10 to 50.

adsorption isotherm
• The adsorption isotherm is a plot of the
adsorbent capacity versus the partial pressure
of the adsorbate at a constant temperature.

Factors Affecting Adsorption System Performance
• Temperature: Adsorption is an exothermic process. The capacity of an
adsorbent decreases as the temperature of the system increases. As a general
rule, adsorber temperatures are kept below 130°F (54°C) to ensure adequate
bed capacities.
• Pressure: Adsorption capacity increases with an increase in the partial pressure
of the vapor, which is proportional to the total pressure of the system.
• Gas velocity: In order to achieve 90% or more capture efficiency, most carbon
adsorption systems are designed for a maximum gas velocity of 100 ft/min (30
m/min) through the adsorber. A lower limit of at least 20 ft/min (6 m/min) is
maintained to avoid flow problems such as channeling.
• Humidity: at high relative humidity the number of water molecules increases
to the extent that they begin to compete with the hydrocarbon molecules for
active adsorption sites, thus reducing the capacity and efficiency of the
adsorption system.
• Bed Depth: There are practical minimum and maximum limits to the bed
depth. The minimum depth is based primarily on the length of the mass
transfer zone (MTZ). Actual bed depths are usually several times longer than
the length of the MTZ. Often the actual adsorbent depth is fixed by the
