Abstract: | The basic equations governing the transport of single and binary adsorbate mixtures through single pores are considered. An irreversible thermodynamic formulation is adopted and both viscous and diffusive terms are incorporated following the earlier work of Mason and co-workers. The links between phenomenological coefficients and molecular properties are demonstrated. For single components, the gas phase and high density limits are considered. By using simple hydrodynamic models it is shown that the phenomenological coefficients in the mixture equations can all be expressed as functions of the coefficients for the individual components in the same pore, and the properties of the component adsorption isotherms. Whilst it is appreciated that the hydrodynamic approach will be of limited value in very small pores, it is argued that useful insights can be gained into the feasibility of membrane separation processes from this method. The general equations can be used in future development of network models for porous materials. |
