a: The support was reported as an adsorbent of natural origin (perhaps sugarcane bagasse)
b: Not reported whether based on total reactor volume or void volume
c: Not reported (possibly based on void volume)
d: Cone shaped
e: Trickling packed bed
PdT – Productivity based on total reactor volume
Pdv – Productivity based on reactor void volume
