Comparison between the predicted (lines) and the experimental (symbols) pressure and CO2 effluent composition histories for a PSA run at CSS employed for the separation of CO2/N2 30 : 70% (-mol) mixture at 309 K,  bar,  bar, feed flow rate of 3.0 slpm, and a total feed/cycle of 10.75 L STP (STP: 273 K, 1 atm) [23]. White area denotes cocurrent operation with raffinate (N2) production, whereas grey area reflects the counter-current operation with extract (CO2) collecting.
