Abstract:

In the present paper, the Nonlinear Frequency Response (NFR) analysis is applied for theoretical study of kinetics of adsorption governed by pore-surface diffusion. The concept of higher-order frequency response functions (FRFs) is used. Based on a nonlinear mathematical model for adsorption of pure gas and spherical adsorbent particles, the theoretical first- and second-order FRFs, which relate the adsorbate concentration in the particle to the surrounding pressure ( F 1 ( ω ) and F 2 ( ω , ω )), have been derived. The obtained FRFs have been simulated for different steady-state pressures and different ratios (between zero and one) of surface to pore diffusion coefficients. The results show that, unlike F 1 ( ω ), F 2 ( ω , ω ) exhibits features which unambiguously distinguish the pore-surface diffusion model from pure pore diffusion and micropore diffusion. Based on the characteristic features of F 1 ( ω ) and F 2 ( ω , ω ), a new methodology for direct estimation of the separate values of the pore and surface diffusion coefficients has been established.
