Abstract
We present the first 13C magnetic resonance imaging study of CO2 transient adsorption/desorption processes in a zeolite 5A column. CO2 transient concentration profiles were measured with a centric scan spin-echo single point imaging technique. The adsorption wave profiles were determined under flow conditions, with the results analyzed by the Bohart-Adams model. The model adequately accounts for the spatial and the temporal behavior of CO2 in the column. CO2 adsorption rate constants were calculated from the fit. Desorption profiles were acquired by blowing a helium stream through a zeolite 5A column saturated with CO2. An asymmetry between the adsorption and desorption profiles is readily apparent. A linear relationship between the CO2 condensed phase concentration and square root of time was observed.
