Publisher's Synopsis
This book sets forth the proceedings of the Fundamentals of Adsorption - FOA6 - Conference , organized by the International Adsorption Society (IAS), along the following three lines:- plenary sessions which include communications of general interest, such as generic tools used by adsorption scientists and engineers, and some presentations on the research needs in industry;- parallel sessions dedicated to specialized topics, relevant to a community of experts;- poster sessions.;All adsorption fields are covered:# Fundamental studies in physics and chemistry: disordered media, phase transitions and transport in porous media, molecular modelling# Materials: zeolites, carbons, organized mesoporous materials, organic materials, chiral stationary phases, zeolite membranes, miscellaneous adsorbents# Adsorbent properties ((in the presence of gaseous or liquid phases): equilibrium, kinetics, aging# Column dynamics: experiments and simulation# Processes: PSA, TSA, counter current units, SMB, chromatography, hybrid processes, novel processes# Applications: progress in well established technologies like gas and liquid separations as well as emerging technologies (pharmaceutical and fine chemicals applications, bioseparations, environment, storage, solid desiccant cooling, refrigeration).
