Gas separation
- Pressure swing adsorption
- Heat effects on PSA performance. Temperature variations between adsorption and desorption have deleterious effects on the performance of Pressure Swing Adsorption. Intensive researchs under isotherm and adiabatic conditions are carried out for the case of air dehumidication with silica gel as adsorbent. Master thesis : Hideki Miyajima.
- Simultaneous removal and Concentration of Carbon Dioxide by Pressure Swing Adsorption: A new PSA process with intermediate feed inlet position and dual refluxes is designed and constructed in order to overcome the thermodynamic limitations encountered in conventional processes with feeding at the top or the bottom of the column. Ph.D. thesis: Doudou Diagne
