Annotation -
The course is focused on adsorbent materials, their properties, production and use of various types of adsorption materials in the practice. In the lectures, students will learn the basic types of industrially produced adsorbents based on inorganic materials and carbon-based materials, procedures, testing of their properties and areas of their application in technical practice. They are taught the basic theoretical equations and relations used for description of the adsorption (Langmuir, Freundlich, BET, Dubinin), and students will learn how to practically apply these equations to describe adsorption. The next part of the course is focused on the description of the adsorption equipment used in the industry by flue gas purification, purification of sewage and heating gas, potable and waste water cleaning and other adsorption processes used in many other cases.
