Dehydration of Ethanol on Zeolite based media using adsorption process by R. H. Abdeen, Fouad, Mel, Maizirwan, Al-Khatib, Ma'an Fahmi Rashid, Azmi, Azlin Suhaida

“…The apparatus consists of fluid delivery system, adsorber bed subsystem, storage and sampling unit and adsorption column where adsorbents like zeolite can be packed. The apparatus is designed to be packed and repacked several times and with various types of adsorbents. 3A zeolites are used as adsorbent materials in this study. 3A zeolites proven to be efficient in removal of water from ethanolwater azeotrope since their pore size is less than 0.3nm which allows only water to adsorb to the inner large surface area of zeolite. …”
