Correction to “Equilibrium Isotherm and Mass Transfer Coefficient for Adsorption of Pure Argon on Small Particles of Pelletized LiLSX Zeolite” Chin-Wen Wu, Mayuresh V. Kothare, and Shivaji Sircar* Department of Chemical and Bio-molecular Engineering, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania 18015, United States

Ind. Eng. Chem. Res. 2015, 54, 2385−2390. DOI: 10.1021/ie504633s. Page 2388: We recently published a paper entitled “Equilibrium Isotherm and Mass Transfer Coefficient for Adsorption of Pure Argon on Small Particles of Pelletized LiLSX Zeolite” in Industrial & Engineering Chemistry Research. We found a typographical error in Table 2. The K value of oxygen (O2) at 303.1 K should read 0.175 instead of the reported value of 0.157. Consequently, the SO2−Ar value at 303.1 K should be 1.12 instead of reported 1.01. We also found a systematic arithmetical error which underestimated the reported values of model estimated skin resistances (1/ksk, s) for pure argon by ∼6%. Those fractions reported in Table 4 should be ∼6% larger. Consequently, the text in the second paragraph of the section entitled “Model Analysis of Mass Transfer Resistance” should be corrected to read that “Approximately 80% of overall resistance to argon transport...” instead of the previously reported 75%.

Page 2389: As a result of the calculations errors found in Table 4, the text in the second paragraph of the section entitled “Model Analysis of Mass Transfer Resistance” should be corrected to read that “Approximately 80% of overall resistance to argon transport...” instead of the previously reported 75%. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused by these errors. Please note that the corrections are minor and they do not change the general conclusions of this paper.
