Abstract
Adsorption equilibria in the oxygen-nitrogen-4A molecular sieve pellets system are determined at two pressures of 1.7 and 4.4 bar and three temperatures 278.15, 293.15 and 303.15 K. The corresponding pure component isotherms for both gases are also determined at the same temperatures and at pressures up to 8 bar. The binary experimental data have been found to be predicted within a good accuracy by the ideal adsorbed solution theory of Myers and Prausnitz, Cooks and Bamadjian model and the statistical thermodynamic model of Ruthven et al. Fair agreement was obtained with the vacancy solution model of Suwanayuen and Danner.
