Experimental Study of the Possibility of Using Composite Adsorption Materials for Compressed Air Dehumidification Plants.

Experimental studies of composite adsorption materials (CAM) and initial adsorbents (active aluminum oxides and CaA zeolite) in the static mode by the desiccator method were carried out, and experimental sorption isotherms were constructed. The specific surface area of the studied adsorption materials was determined. The adsorption capacity of СAM samples based on active aluminum oxide and CaA zeolite is about 90% and 73% of the capacity of the source materials, respectively (due to the presence of a binder), while the bulk density of monoblocks is 15% higher than the bulk density of the initial adsorbent. It was found that an increase in the CAM samples molding pressure (at a constant binder content) slightly affects the adsorption capacity of CAM samples. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
