Beyond this region, PB<sub>5</sub> faced limitations in reducing sorbent requirements further and was constrained by a maximum velocity at which it is sensible to operate without substantially increasing the exergy demand. In contrast, monoliths decreased sorbent requirements with minimal exergy increase due to reduced mass transfer resistances and lower pressure drop associated with their thin walls. The analysis of volume requirement-specific exergy Pareto fronts revealed that PB<sub>5</sub> was less competitive with this metric due to the requirements for additional void space in the contactor configuration. The study also revealed that optimal sorbent loading for reducing volume requirements in monoliths differed from those minimizing sorbent usage, with the most effective loading being below 100%. Thus, the optimal contactor design varies depending on the goals of minimizing sorbent and volume requirements, and the choice and design of the contactor will depend on the relative costs of these factors.

Using a rotating drum as the basic mixing equipment, the fundamental focus of this study is to quantify undesirable segregation. The impact of particle level parameters (size, density, their combination, mass fraction) and system parameters (filling %, rotational speed, and baffle) on the segregation index within the rotating drum is first assessed using the discrete element method (DEM). Later, the machine learning (ML) model is applied in conjunction with DEM to expand and fill in the parameter space for particle-level parameters in a computationally efficient way, providing accurate predictions of segregation in less time. The DEM results are validated by comparing them with experimental data, ensuring their accuracy and reliability. The results show that optimal mixing is achieved when the total filling percent in a system is 36.3% while maintaining an equal proportion of particles. The highest level of mixing occurs at 60 rotations per minute, with fine particles concentrating near the drum’s core and coarser particles distributed around the periphery. The presence of 3–4 baffles optimally enhances mixing performance. Four ML models─linear regression, polynomial regression, support vector regression, and random forest (RF) regression─are trained using data from DEM simulations to predict the segregation index (SI). An error analysis is performed to pick the best model out of the four ML models. The analysis reveals that the RF model accurately predicts the SI. Using the RF model, the SI can be reliably predicted for any value of the seven features studied using DEM. An example 3D surface plot is generated by considering just two (out of 7) of the most important particle level parameters: size and density.
