Neural Network Application in Fixed Bed Column Adsorption

M. M. Nourouzi, S. Keshani, and L. Chuah Abdullah

Abstract— Adsorption experiments were carried out in fixed bed column. Neural network (NN) was used to describe the fixed bed adsorption of POME pigment by resin. The general breakthrough models such as Thomas and Yoon–Nelson models resulted in poor fitness with experimental data (R2 < 0.8). A wavelet neural network model (WNN) was developed to model the breakthrough curves in fixed bed column for multicomponent system and WNN model successfully described the adsorption process (R2 = 1). At the initial stages, BDST model showed good agreement with the experimental data but diverged at higher Cb/C0 ratio (> 0.11).

Index Terms— Neural network, fixed bed column, adsorption, modeling.
