The Computer Controlled Fixed Bed Adsorption Unit, "QALFC", has been designed by EDIBON to demonstrate the gas adsorption phenomenon using a fixed adsorption column. The overall objective of this unit is to analyze the behavior of the adsorption breakthrough and desorption elution curves associated with the separation of CO₂ from Helium using activated carbon. The equilibrium adsorption capacity of this activated carbon will be determined from this analysis and used to model the experimental breakthrough and elution curves. The gas mixture (composed by CO₂ and Helium) is fed from compressed gas cylinders to the column with two pressure regulators. Two flow sensors and two regulation valves are included to measure and regulate the CO₂ and Helium inlet flows. The lines include two flow control valves to limit the CO₂ and Helium flow. The fixed bed adsorption column is jacketed for the purpose of thermal control and the adsorbent, activated carbon, is packed. Six temperature sensors with different lengths are located inside the column to measure the adsorption and desorption temperatures. A column bypass is included for system calibration purposes. This column has two 3-way directi
