Abstract:  This paper is concerned with an analysis of four models of a one-component sorption in a single adsorbent particle under the isothermal process assump­tion. The transients of average values of dimensionless adsorbate concentration in particle have been calculated numerically by the orthogonal collocation method in connection with the Runge—Kurta—Merson technique for various values of model parameters. Some interesting features of the orthogonal collocation solutions are presented in this paper.
