Abstract: Equations for the height of adsorbent to be used in continuously operating adsorption columns are derived. A system of new equations was detd. which, for any value of the degree of satn. at the bottom of the column and for the corresponding curvature of the adsorption isotherm, defines the distribution of the concn. along the total length of the adsorbent. The validity of the equations was confirmed exptl. All the variables, after transformation to dimensionless form, agreed in their exptl. and theoretical values for a wide concn. and velocity range. A new method for the detn. of the adsorption isochrones is given. Only 1 expt. is needed for the detn. of the distribution of the concn. along the total height of the bed.
