Water removal from aqueous ethanol using the adsorption technique

The packed bed of the 3A zeolite sieves was used for research on water removal from aqueous ethanol with the water concentration in the range of 5,45 - 17,3 wt %, temperature 30°C and the linear velocity through the adsorption column 3ź1O^-4 m/s. The obtained experimental results are presented and discussed in the frame of the mass transfer zone length, MTZL, unused bed length, LUB and the cross-over ratio, the COR coefficients characterizing the performance of the adsorption column.
