(2023). Simulation of fixed-bed adsorption for biogas upgrading. In International Conference on Nanotechnology for Sustainable Living and Environment, ICON-NSLE 2022. Jaipur. 1, p.77-87978-981-99-3385-3978-981-99-3386-02195-4356http://hdl.handle.net/10198/28586In this work, an adsorption simulation package to study the separation of the main components of biogas (CO2/CH4/N2) in a fixed bed was developed and validated by predicting experimental single and ternary breakthrough curves on binder-free zeolite 4A and KY. Overall, the simulator proved to be very efficient to predict the fixed-bed experimental data adsorption dynamics, and it has now been used in the simulation and design of more complex systems like PSA/VSA to TSA processes for biogas upgrading at the industrial level with proper boundary conditions.engBiogas upgradingSimulationAdsorptionFixed-bed adsorptionMathematical modelingZeoliteconference paper10.1007/978-981-99-3386-0_7
