Abstract: Theoretical considerations on diffusion modes of adsorbates in diffusion-cell adsorbers are being investigated. By studying the effects of the operating and model parameters on the response curves calculated by surface diffusion model and pore diffusion model, and noting the differences in the results, the following conditions are recommended for the prediction of the prevailing diffusion mode in diffusion-cell experiments λ≤0.1,BiB≥100,and N≥1 The theoretical prediction thus obtained checks well with experimental data taken from literature. New solutions are also presented for the surface diffusion model and the pore diffusion model with rectangular adsorption isotherm.
