Adsorptiojärjestelmän

Adsorptiojärjestelmä is a Finnish term that translates to "adsorption system" in English. An adsorption system is a process used to remove specific substances from a fluid stream, either liquid or gas, by adhering them to the surface of a solid material called an adsorbent. This phenomenon, where molecules of a fluid (adsorbate) become attached to the surface of a solid (adsorbent), is known as adsorption.

Adsorption systems are widely employed in various industrial and environmental applications. They are crucial for purifying air and water, removing contaminants, odors, and colors. In industrial processes, they can be used for gas separation, solvent recovery, and catalyst regeneration. Common adsorbents include activated carbon, zeolites, silica gel, and activated alumina, each chosen based on the specific adsorbate and the desired separation efficiency. The effectiveness of an adsorption system depends on factors such as the type and amount of adsorbent, contact time, temperature, and pressure. Regeneration of the adsorbent is often a key aspect of these systems, allowing for its reuse and reducing operational costs.
