Kinetics of the non-isothermal desorption of ethanol absorbed onto CMS-3A

Journal Title: Vojnotehnički glasnik - Year 2017, Vol 65, Issue 2

Abstract

The kinetics of the desorption of ethanol previously absorbed onto carbon molecular sieves (CMS-3A) was studied using the non-isothermal thermogravimetric technique. The dependence of activation energy (Ea,α) for a particular degree of desorption (α) was established. It was confirmed that the non-isothermal desorption of ethanol was a kinetically complex process. A novel mathematical model for the kinetics of non-isothermal desorption for the absorbed ethanol is established. This model is based on the proposed dependence of the specific desorption rate on time/temperature. The correlation dependences of the model parameters β and η on heating rates were established. A general kinetic equation for the non-isothermal desorption of ethanol was developed. It was found that the specific desorption rate at every single heating rate increases, whereas Ea, decreases during the desorption process.
