School Description
The School is aimed to PhD students, Researchers and Industrialists willing to gain a deeper insight of the fundamental aspects of adsorption science and engineering.
The School is based on over 15 years of experience in delivering lectures in adsorption courses at the MEng level. It is structured as an intensive 4-day programme including formal lectures, discussion periods and numerical tutorials covering the following main topics:
- Adsorption equilibrium – low and high pressure
- Characterisation of nanoporous materials by adsorption and complementary techniques (e.g. liquid intrusion): Discussion of key experimental aspects and data interpretation based of classical, macroscopic thermodynamic methods and advanced approaches based on statistical mechanics (such as Density Functional Theory and molecular simulation)
- Adsorption kinetics including examples from our laboratory (ZLC, volumetric and frequency response)
- Adsorption column dynamics including equilibrium theory, structured adsorbents and monoliths
- Adsorption processes and cycles
The course includes an extended tour of the laboratories to combine theory with practice. For an overview of the range of experimental techniques please see DOI: 10.1021/acs.iecr.5b05015
