A simple analytic solution has been derived for the temperature response of a non‐isothermal adsorption column in which a small concentration of an irreversibly adsorbed species is removed. The model is shown to provide a reasonable representation of the experimentally observed behaviour of an ethanol drying column using 3A molecular sieve as the moisture selective adsorbent.
