Adsorption

In the previous study, a numerical method which simulates combined heat and moisture transfer process in solid desiccant materials was investigated. The calculation results successfully reproduced the cyclic process of the moisture adsorption and desorption. The validity of the numerical simulation method for the desiccant wheel was examined by the comparison between the experiment and the numerical simulation of the desiccant dehumidifier.

Asphalt fume from Aluminum Industries is one of pollutants, which must be decontaminated in theventilation systems. In this paper, two feasible structures of adsorbers were designed: the venturi-typeadsorber with the small-diameter throat pipe and that with the flow-guiding cone. Then these two kindsof adsorbers were optimized according to the factors which influence the diffusion of the adsorbentparticles.
