Regeneration of polymeric adsorbents saturated with phenol in a fixed bed is modeled by an “equilibrium model” and a “reaction front model.” These models were previously tested over CSTR experiments. A package for the design of cyclic fixed‐bed adsorbers was then prepared by linking the reaction front model for regeneration with a pore‐diffusion model for saturation described in Part I (Costa and Rodrigues, 1985) and a model for washing. Predicted and experimental results were compared in a cyclic run.
