摘要/Abstract

摘要：

对PAM-LiCl水凝胶复合吸附剂进行了吸附特性实验研究，基于D-A方程拟合其特性曲线，建立了该凝胶蜂窝吸附床的三维数学模型，用COMSOL软件完成了吸附床干燥/湿润工况下的动态吸/脱附过程模拟，结合实验完成该数学模型的验证，最终实现吸附床结构的优化。研究表明，蜂窝结构大幅提升了吸附床的吸/脱附性能。吸附速率与蜂窝传质通道的孔隙度呈正相关；总吸水量先增大后减小，当孔隙度为20%时，总吸水量最大。吸附床的吸附量随吸附床厚度的增大而降低。当空气流速低于3.6 m/s时，提高空气流速能显著增强吸附床的吸附性能。蜂窝吸附床解吸性能良好，在60℃ & RH10%的热空气中可实现完全解吸。

Abstract:

The adsorption characteristics of PAM-LiCl hydrogel composite adsorbent is studied. Based on the D-A equation, a three-dimensional mathematical model of the honeycomb gel adsorption bed is established. The adsorption/desorption dynamic phase of the adsorption bed under dry/wet conditions air simulated by COMSOL software. Combined with the experiment, the verification of the mathematical model is completed, and finally the optimization of the adsorption bed structure is realized. The results show that the honeycomb structure dramatically improves the adsorption/desorption performance of the adsorption bed. The water uptake rate is positively correlated with the porosity of the honeycomb mass transfer channel. The total water absorption first increases and then decreases. When the porosity is 20%, the total water absorption is the largest. The water uptake of the adsorption bed decreases with the increase of the thickness of the adsorption bed. When the air velocity is lower than 3.6 m/s, increasing the air velocity can significantly enhance the adsorption performance of the adsorption bed. The honeycomb adsorbent bed has good desorption performance and realizes complete desorption in hot air at 60℃.
