4.4.1 Breakthrough model validation
In order to validate the model (see Eq. 3.8-3.12), the obtained results
from the adsorption breakthrough curve model are compared with the
experimental results, see Figure 5. The calculated breakthrough curve
agrees reasonably well with the experimentally observed curve. The
proposed breakthrough curve model is able to predict the saturation
time, ts, of the adsorption column. tsis the time at which \(\frac{C_{\text{trans}}}{C_{trans0}}=0.05\).
