In order to reveal the laws of heat and mass transfer of competitive adsorption of CO

and H

O in the adsorption layers of vertical radial flow adsorber
based on the existing experimental data of CO
2
and H
2
O adsorption of alumina and molecular sieve
CFD(Computational Fluid Dynamics)technology is used to study the binary adsorption process of CO
2
and H
2
O in the adsorption layers. A mathematical model of h
eat and mass transfer of competitive adsorption of CO
2
and H
2
O in the adsorption layer is established
the relationship between flow uniformity and adsorption performance is analyzed
and the adsorption performance of four types of adsorbers is compared. The results show that the flow uniformity in the adsorption process is a parameter reflecting the flow field distribution in the adsorbers
which has a similar change law with the adsorption performance and can be used to reflect the adsorbent utilization rate and adsorption performance of vertical radial flow adsorbers. The CO
2
and H
2
O penetration regions of centripetal Z-type are different
while those of the other three structures are the same. The CO
2
penetration region and main adsorption region of centripetal π-type are the adsorption layer near the inlet side
and those of the other three structures are the adsorption layer opposite to the inlet side. In terms of the adsorber performance
the centrifugal π-type has the best performance
the pressure drop is 12.0% lower than that of centripetal Z-type
and the adsorption time is 2.34 times that of centripetal Z-type. The research results provide a theoretical reference for the selection and design of vertical radial flow adsorber.
