Separation by Ion Exchange and Adsorption Parametric Pumping IV.

Abstract

The best component separation can be achieved by the application of theoretical cycles. A local equilibrium analysis is provided, which gives, ideal efficiencies through either graphical or numerical calculations. As the calculations presented here ignore non-equilibrium ion exchange, the mixing phenomena and the “run out” of characteristics, they are significant mainly in relation to one another. Nevertheless, the effects of process and operation variables found here should be valid for actual system, especially in the production of high purity materials.
