pressure drop....

Sounds like a column chromatography process, is this correct?

sorry sir,basically i'm not from chemistry back ground.i don't know about chromatography process.i'm from mechanical engg. stream.in our project we r using a chamber of zeolite through which air is passing.we don't know how to calculate the pressure drop across this chamber.could u tel me ,is there any formula available to calculate this in chromatography process.In a particular hand book of chemical engineering there is a formula in a situation where liquid and gas r passing throu' the chamber in opposite direction.

I also have a ME background

I was working with people that did this about 10 years ago, alot of it was propritary information, but was was able to gather some information while I was researching, I'll see what I can get and email it.

If you don't hear from me in a few days. rattle my cage.

The information that I had was empirical info derived from customers data. Unfortunately its not my data to distribute.

Sorry, If I do see information that was not derive empirically, I will pass it on.

Have a look in Perry - "Chemical Engineers' Handbook", any edition, looking for countercurrent mass transfer in packed columns.
