Regeneration (chemistry)
In chemical and process engineering, the restoration of a substance or system is understood as regeneration or regeneration ( lat. From regenerare, "to re-generate") .
Regeneration includes processes such as
- the desorption , drying and cooling of loaded adsorbents ,
- the desorption of catalyst poisons in catalysts and
- the exchange of "stronger" ions by adding an excess of "weaker" ions to ion exchangers .
In numerous processes, regeneration does not succeed completely with reasonable effort, so that a residual load of the regenerated substance or system can be expected.
