Abstract
An influence of the presence of inert material in an adsorption bed is studied, with special regard to the width of breakthrough curves, the breakthrough time and the efficiency and dynamic capacity of an adsorption bed. The positive influence of the inert component is due to the decrease of the effective distribution constant. This influence is reflected in the terms characterizing the axial dispersion in a bed.
