Description
Summary:A linearized non-isothermal general rate model is formulated and analytically solved to quantify the effects of temperature variations in fixed-bed chromatographic columns. The model contains a set of four coupled PDE accounting for energy transfer resistances, inner and outer particle-pore diffusions, and interfacial mass and axial dispersion. The Laplace transform, the eigenvalue-decomposition technique, and a conventional technique for the solutions of ODE are jointly employed for the solution of the model equations. A few numerical test studies are considered to assess the impact of system parameters on the performance of packed-bed adsorption columns. To access the range of applicability and to get the scope of the appropriateness of calculated analytical results, the numerical results are also obtained by applying a high resolution finite volume scheme. The analytical solutions obtained can be used as an invaluable tool for analyzing, optimizing, and upgrading the non-isothermal liquid chromatographic procedures.
