The rational design and optimization of a pressure swing adsorption process requires a reasonably detailed mathematical model. Thus chapters 4 and 5 in this book offer a mathematical in approach, and are aimed chiefly at the readers who are directly involved in process design and optimization: but these two chapters will also help the more general reader gain an insight in the underlying principles and the strengths and limitations of the various approaches.
All chapters in this second edition have seen major revisions to account for new technologies, recent developments and latest literature.

Über Autor(innen)

Douglas Ruthven was Professor Emeritus at the University of Maine. He was educated at Cambridge University (M.A., PhD and ScD). His academic career has been divided between the University of New Brunswick, Canada (1966-1995) and the University of Maine (1995 - 2013). He has published numerous research papers and three books in the general area of adsorption and adsorption processes and has received several notable awards including the ScD degree, the Max Planck Research Prize (jointly with Prof. Joerg Kaerger) and a Humboldt Senior Research Fellowship. He was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada in 1989.
 
Shamsuzzaman Farooq is a Professor in the Department of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering at the National University of Singapore (NUS). His research and teaching interests are in design, development, modelling and optimization of separation processes. He specializes in adsorption science and its application in gas separation technology. His over 30 years of experience in these areas spans both laboratory and industrial scale studies. Besides publishing in premier Chemical Engineering journals and speaking at International Conferences, he is a co-author of the current edition of the book, Pressure Swing Adsorption. He was the Editor in Chief of Adsorption - journal of the International Adsorption Society - from 2017 to 2019.
 
Mark W. Ackley is a Corporate Fellow (retired 2014) at Praxair. His academic engineering degrees include Aerospace (BS, Iowa State University), Mechanical and Chemical (MS, PhD, SUNY Buffalo). His career began at Cornell Aeronautical Laboratory and Scott Aviation prior to 25 years at Praxair. Dr. Ackley's broad experience includes process, modelling, materials and equipment R&D applied to pressure swing adsorption. He is the inventor in 38 US patents and has authored 17 scientific articles, including reviews of air separation, medical O2 concentrators and the application of natural zeolites in gas separation. He has served as a Director and Guest Editor (Adsorption journal) for the International Adsorption Society.
 
Kent Knaebel is the president of Adsorption Research Inc., in Columbus, OH, USA. Having obtained his academic degrees from the University of Kentucky and the University of Delaware, he spent the early part of his career working for Eastman Chemical in Kingsport, TN, and then Ohio State University. Doctor Knaebel has authored over 40 scientific publications plus 16 patents. He is a Fellow of the International Adsorption Society, and he was the Editor in Chief of Adsorption - journal of the International Adsorption Society - from 1995 to 2010.
