Funded Activity Summary

Modelling of Adsorption Dynamics in Microporous Adsorbents Using Fractional Order Diffusion Equations. This project investigates the use of fractional order diffusion equations in modelling adsorption dynamics in microporous carbons. The long tail behaviour of adsorption processes cannot be readily explained by the classical second order Fickian model, and makes adsorption a candidate for the use of fractional order diffusion equations that have the potential to model such features. In the present project we shall develop suitable numerical techniques for solving the fractional order diffusion model, and apply these to the interpretation of experimental kinetic data. The outcome will be an improved model of adsorption dynamics considering the fractal nature of the solid.
